Batman Beyond : Blight

I originally owned Blight back almost 20 years ago but I never opened him.I owned all the Batman Beyond figures at that time but only opened Future Knight Batman and was less then amazed with it so I left the rest in the pack. Then a couple years later I decided it was time to trim down on the recent stuff I had bought (about 5 years worth of stuff) because I was moving cross country and didnt feel like fooling with so much packing so Blight was one of the many that went away back then.




But today I received a new one in the mail from Ebay and thanks to my friend Tony also got a new Batman Beyond figure the day before. Its pretty clear why I like this guy but Ill lay it out : He is my favorite green plastic squirtgun color , He is transparent ' He has a skeleton inside his transparent body and finally he GLOWs! He glows like a nuclear power plant after a melt down  , I rarely  come across luminescence this strong in a toy. He is the perfect storm ,combining many of the things that attract me into one super affordable action figure.

      Funny you should say that : "Batman Beyond
      The character Blight from the animated series Batman Beyond has a design that strongly resembles Doctor Phosphorus, along with similar radioactive powers. In an interview with Bruce Timm in the Modern Masters volume profiling him, Timm, a professed fan of the Englehart/Rogers Batman run, readily admits to the similarities between Blight and Phosphorus. In Batgirl #6 (2010), Roulette refers to Phosphorus as "the Baron of Blight" " seems he is the Batman beyond version of him.
