New Removable Cowl Batman: One of the Best!

[zeedox]

Growing up as a kid the removable cowl Batman always topped the list. The new Adam West one amazingly is an amazing addition to anyone's collection.

I agree 100 percent. This figure, the best to me in the wave by far, was overshadowed by all the negative responses to Batgirl.

I am also very pleased with the '66 Batman/Adam West removable cowl figure.

I'm mentioned it in the batgirl thread, I had no intention of owning another Batman but I love it!

Well! Since I don't have one yet, now I have to see pics!

I haven't grabbed this new series yet. Would love to see some out of the package shots of the RC West Batman!

I sold all of my 66 figures. Just getting out of hand with all the variants coming out and the prices for something like The Joker with a utility belt were just ridiculous. They had to go. I've been tempted to pick up the RC Batman though just for what it is.

Yeah,but how does the cowl fit? is it over-sized? fit nice and snug?

Just curious, please don't take this wrong as it is not meant as a criticism.

Why get rid of them all? Did you not like them much anyway? I agree with the rising costs, but with such a diverse group, if I decide I can't spend anymore on this, outside on the Catwomans, it feels like this is a pretty complete collection. I have already decided that I cannot get or want every variant, but I just choose not to buy them.

We all collect differently; just curious as to why those factors made you decide to dump them all.

Sorry for hijacking this thread! I look forward to eventually getting my RC '66 Batman.

Cowl is obviously an improvement

Anyone notice how Bruce Wayne's eyes fit right in the spot they are supposed to? And theres not goofy chin thing like the Mattel Batman and Wolverine.
I am actually perplexed that there is a new Removable Cowl Batman and pics aren't flooded on the Mego Museum.

I often read about criticism in tooling here's one they waiting to tool with extra care and it shows!

^That looks really good! Is the cowl material softer vinyl? It seems to fit so nicely, and being able to tuck it into the cape completes the look very well.

Not taken the wrong way at all. Basically I'm a completist. I didn't want to carry on buying the same figure over and over again. I also didn't want to have a collection with holes in it so they had to go. I've no problem with variants at all, but when it's just the sake of a utility belt or an eye mask at silly prices it was time to pull the plug. 'How many more of these' was my thinking at the time.
The figures all went to a good home and the money was used to fund more figures. Everyone's a winner!

Am I sorry I sold them?... Not when I remind myself why I did in the first place.

Cowl

I would say the cowl is in the ballpark as the original as far as texture. Has more detail obviously as the original was just blue mainly. Also I never could match up the eyes easy on the original there isn't an issue with that on this one. I dig taking the cape off too great wayne figure.

[eewdoc]

It has a nice tight fit. His head is not nearly as large as the prototype. i have to rank him in the Mr. freeze, Mad Hatter, King Tut group as far as being in the top tier of the line. The larger size Utility Belt is an added bonus. I also picked up the removable mask Robin, which is also an improvement over the original

[MIB41]

Cool pics! I'll definitely be getting this one.
