Batmen Forever
This five inch figure comes (poorly!) carded on a modifed Batman Forever Backboard. If you look closely, you'll notice that it's not BatmAn, but BatmEn. Plural. Why, I have no idea. I guess I'm just partial to more creative re-namings.

The figure itself is the Fire Guardian Batman from the first wave of Kenner Batman Forever figures. It lacks the cape, and the accessories are molded in a different color of plastic, but it is obvius that copies of the Kenner molds were used.

Batmen Closeup

The backboard art is lifted directly from the Batman Forever figures, suggesting that there are several other figures in this line.

Overall, this is a so-so bootleg. The new name is silly, but not overly so. The figure itself is a reasonable reproduction, with good play value. (I'm not sure if it has the same action features as it's licensed brethren, but I doubt it.)
