I was hoping someone might have the insight to that question. Those would be 2 awesome figures if made!

Does the Batman 66 license include rights to make Green Hornet and Kato?

While the same tv production company made both shows, Dc has never had the rights for producing the Green hornet in comic or print forms
And the recent Seth Rogan film may allow some flaxibility with the likeness (if you went film version) but for a classic Kato you would need to get Bruce Lee's estate to sign off on using his likeness (and really who wants the film versions over the tv ones) -

FTC might be able to get the license and work out the agreement for the likenesses with the actors or their estates, but as others stated DC does not own the license to Green Hornet and Kato so those characters would not be included with FTC's contract with DC.
Love to see it happen.Comment

The GH and Kato license has been made into action figures for 20 years, it's not included in Batman 66 but if FTC isn't doing this somebody should.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Medicom did GH and Kato a while back. Enterbay only did Kato.Comment

in the 90's Playing mantis did both the Green Hornet and kato for the retro KB excl Capt action resissues and the carded uniform line, while obviouly inspired by the show the kato likeness was far enough away from Bruce that I don't think his estate was in the apporval circleComment

Would be great if ctv went and got the rights
and made them on both Green hornet cards, and also batman 66 cards from the episodes they were in."Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?"Comment

I should think that getting a license to do these two would run into problems with Bruce Lee's estate. And that is a license that is VERY difficult to acquire, due to the efforts of his family. Which is understandable.
But getting a Kato with an accurate Bruce Lee sculpt, (and removable mask) would be wonderful!JediJaidaComment

What we need is for either NECA or Diamond Select to produce a 7 inch figure of the Green Hornet. NECA was able to acquire the rights to make Arnold Schwarzenegger figures from Predator, Terminator and Commando, so I'd imagine they'd be able to acquire rights from Bruce Lee's estate if anyone could. NECA did a good job with the Lone Ranger figures from the film with Johnny Depp and although I'm a big fan of the Lone Ranger, I'm an even bigger Green Hornet fan.Comment
