Terrific TV Toys: Batman Beyond figure by Hasbro, 1999

The "Batman Beyond" animated series of 1999 presented a futuristic view of the Caped Crusader, set 50 years ahead of the events of the original "Batman: The Animated Series" of 1992. Besides the scary fact that we're three-fifths of the way to that "Batman Beyond" timeframe here in real life, the series still holds up as a fun alternate-universe sort of view of the Dark Knight. 

In the second season of the T3 series, you saw a set of fast-food toys celebrating the series, and now we turn our attention to a 9-inch figure released by Hasbro as the show was airing, a rather Mego-esque approach years after Mego's original heyday and years before Mego rebooted and started producing all kinds of great figures again. I guess that makes this figure even more futuristic, right?
