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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSourced 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.
