I loved Cash in this episode. It's a good thing they brought him back. I think Toymaker was a decent villain with some cool toys and gadgets. The Batman handled him fairly easily though and it kind of disappointed me. The battles were very short but the episode was still enjoyable.

The show was fun to watch, and i have to admit that i enjoyed it. but thats all it really was, a silly episode. it wasnt moveing or out of your seat adventure, it was sort of a filler. the winning character for this ep. has 2 Cash, he was a lot of fun.

One of the most crappiest episodes (next to RPM,Pets,The Big Heat,Brawn, and that **** episode with Cluemaster)

1.0

By gamerboy190, Oct 01, 2011

This could have been a good episode for the Toymaker. The toymaker was a villain in the \\\\\\\"Batman: The Animated Series\\\\\\\" who had a very serious dilemma and was portrayed as being a very tough Advesary for the batman in \\\\\\\"The Grey Ghost\\\\\\\' episode. this piece of s*** does nothing compared to this and makes Toymaker, who can become one of the more interesting Batman Villains, into a 4th rate villain that can\\\\\\\'t even compete with Cluemaster. I hate this episode!!! If they F*** up villains like this, Then I\\\\\\\'m turning from this **** series.moreless

In this ridicolous episode this shows version of the Toyman, Cosmo Krank is introduced.

I have to say this a silly and ridiculous episode and the only thing I got from it was unintentional amusement. It is a perfect example of why B:TAS is far better from this show. Cosmo Krank reminds me of this shows version of the joker as he doesn't wear shoes and has a ridiculously colored dredlocks. Also his motives are horrible ones, that are almost as bad as cluemasters. It doesn't even tell you why he made dangerous toys in the 1st place! Cash Tankinson's return is one of the only reasons to watch this episode as he is a stereotypical jock and it's kind of funny that hes even a cop. In addition to this there are other amusing parts that make it worth watching for diehard batman fans (not THE batman fans), such as myself.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA
- Batman sure is lucky Krank isn't all that bright. He blows his secret identity twice (because there's no sane way Batman can just show up wherever Bruce Wayne is, with Wayne just magically disappearing and anybody can tell that), and Krank can't connect the dots either time. Batman should be more careful in the future, in case he fights a smarter foe.
  EDIT SHARE
- If it was night, then how come when Bruce went to Krank's factory, was it daylight?

NOTES (8)
ADD NOTES
- Patton Oswalt and Patrick Warburton have also worked together on Kim Possible. Even the characters they play are similar: a diminutive, maniacal, masked villain and a tough by-the-book guy, respectively. Also, Toymaker's m.o. and belled jester's cap are reminiscent of another Disney villain, Darkwing Duck's Quackerjack.
  EDIT SHARE
- Despite various websites listing him as "Toymaker," the character is actually only known as Cosmo Krank in this episode. He is also only listed as Cosmo Krank in this episode's credits.
  EDIT SHARE
- The phrase "Detective Shades" returns. It was first used in "JTV".
  EDIT SHARE
- Original International Air Dates:
  United Kingdom: April 29, 2006
  Czech Republic: February 21, 2010 on TV Nova
  EDIT SHARE
- Starting with this episode, Mitch Pileggi ("Commissioner Gordon") is now credited as part of the main cast.
  EDIT SHARE
- This marks the second episode Batgirl does not appear in since her debut. Oddly enough, both episodes (the first being "A Fistful of Felt") were written by Steven Melching.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cash Tankenson (from "JTV") returns.
  EDIT SHARE
- The Toymaker is introduced.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Superman
  
  The ad for the Cosmo Flier mentions the slogan, "it's up, up, and away!" This is a reference to Superman's well-known pre-flight exclamation, "up, up, and away!"
  EDIT SHARE
- n/a: Cosmo Frank and Ned Flanders
  Cosmo's annoying habit of adding nonsensical syllables to his words is reminiscent of The Simpsons character, Ned Flanders.
