The packaging for Kenner’s Adventures of Batman & Robin toy line was virtually identical to the previous Batman: The Animated Series figures, except for minor differences. Once again, the packaging was perfectly matched to the design of the popular animated series, with vibrant graphics and appealing colors. Each figure came on a traditional blister card, with the figure positioned on the right side of the bubble and its accessories on the left. The classic Batman Animated Series logo was replaced with the new Adventures of Batman & Robin logo, which included both characters. That logo was at the top left of the card, accompanied by a beautiful illustration of the character to the top right. The character’s name appeared above the illustration on the right side. The back of each card showcased all the figures and accessories from that wave, along with photos highlighting each figure’s action features. Another difference was the color of the card behind the figure, with Wave One being Yellow and Wave Two being Grey.
