The Newest Imaginext Batcave Is a Great Way to Introduce Your Child to the DC Super Friends

I wholeheartedly recommend Fisher-Price Imaginext toys to any parent I meet. My son started playing with these toys when he was three. He’s almost nine now and they still make a fairly regular appearance when his friends come over to play.

The DC Super Friends line is my son’s favorite Imaginext collection. We have one of the older versions of the Batcave, but the new model featured in this post looks like a winner for anyone just starting to collect Imaginext toys.

This play set includes details such as a Batcomputer, Batwing, and a launcher that can fire projectiles at the bad guys. There is also a free app that you can download for use with your iPhone that adds a high-tech element to your child’s play. The app gives you access to mini games and videos featuring Batman and his friends.

If desired, you can buy a separate Batwing iPhone case to protect your phone from damage while your child is playing.

Another cool thing about the DC Super Friends line is that they now offer figures featuring female characters like Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, and Harley Quinn. Since only Batman and Robin come with the Batcave, you’ll definitely want to pick up a few extra figures to complete the Imaginext experience. Get Wonder Woman with her invisible jet to show your son that girls can be just as strong and brave as his favorite male superheros.

Suggested retail price for the Imaginext Batcave is $40, but many stores offer good deals on Imaginext toys during the holiday seasons. When my son was building his collection, we took advantage of several buy one, get one half off promotions at Toys “R” Us.
