Batman: The Animated Series — Batman (Collect to Build: The Condiment King Wave 1) (2023 McFarlane Toys)
For adult collectors who grew up with Batman: The Animated Series, this 2023 Target-exclusive from McFarlane Toys and DC Direct represents one of the most ambitious returns to the landmark 1992–1995 series in the modern market. The Collect-to-Build mechanic — borrowing from Hasbro's Build-A-Figure tradition — distributes parts of The Condiment King, a beloved cult villain with no prior mass-market figure at this scale, across all four Wave 1 releases (Scarecrow, Batman, Robin, and Mr. Freeze), making set completion the driving incentive for completionists.
This listing presents the Batman figure in vintage condition, still in its collector-style window box. The dark burgundy packaging carries co-branded DC Direct and McFarlane Toys logos on the spine, a prominent "Collect to Build — The Condiment King" badge on the upper-right of the front panel, and a tri-lingual "Collect Them All" footer. The back panel features full Condiment King character artwork alongside the four-figure wave checklist and BAF assembly diagram. Batman himself displays the standard cel-shading paint application — a point of collector distinction noted in community discussions — with the grey-and-black animated-style deco faithful to the show's design. The included Condiment King BAF parts (torso/arms segment visible in packaging) are Wave 1's contribution to the full assembly.
Sourced and assessed firsthand, this piece is authentic McFarlane Toys/DC Direct product — the unusual publishing-house-adjacent co-branding makes it a distinctive entry in any BTAS collection. Scarecrow remains the hardest Wave 1 member to source, so securing Batman now keeps your BAF build on track. Returns accepted per Jay's Toys standard policy.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.
