- Smooth Jazz
- A redeco of Animated Ratbat, Ratbat is a black keytar that turns into a bat. He comes as an accessory with Smooth Jazz. Ratbat has 5mm pegs on the face of the keytar which can plug into the corresponding pegholes on Smooth Jazz's roof, forearms and hands, plus his legs are sculpted so as to fit on grooves on Smooth Jazz's spoiler. Ratbat's articulation consists of rotational joints in the middle of each wing and a shallowly-ball jointed head.
