    Give credit where it's due--the Batman 66 line, with these additions, is now arguably one of the best modern style Mego-style lines ever produced, up there with EMCE Trek. They may have slightly larger heads than standard Megos in proportion to their bodies, but it makes them look more human and they all look great posed together.

    A villains accessory pack seems like a logical development and is probably the reason why Freeze doesn't have his gun here. A freeze gun, a Penguin umbrella, some books for Bookworm, a few handguns, a whip for the eventual Catwoman figure--I'd be amazed if this doesn't happen.

      We're getting a spot-on '66 Freeze, Tut, Bookworm, and Alfred. I'd buy all four loose, naked, and shoved in a grocery bag for $30 each. No Freeze gun? Boo f-ing hooo.

          I don't know how any Bat-fan could be ****ed about the selection of this wave.

            well, thanks for getting them posted. I have to believe these will out sooner than later since they are carded samples being shown.

              I'm not at all a fan of the 60s Batman live action show, but it sure did have some of my favorite actors hamming it up as bad guys: Vic Buono! Vincent Price! Burgess Meredith! Roddy Mcdowall!
              (I'm sure I'm also missing a few)

              I loved Buono in 'Baby Jane'. What a creep!

                Yes these are a superfecta of figures, good likenesses, I do agree that Freeze should have
                had his freeze gun added, but heck they never gave the Penguin and umbrella, so why bother
                giving Freeze his freeze gun, just wouldn't be logical according to FTC rules.

                But aside from that, these are very cool figures and worth getting.

                    I remember using things like cocktail swords and other bits with my MEGOs as a kid. Aside from the obvious cost issue, I'd always assumed it was left up to the kid's imagination to supply whatever accessories.
                    Doesn't seem like many of the originals came with accessories, but I could be off as it's been so many years.

                      I think this is the marketing ploy.

                      Regarding the figures. I like them a lot, though I think Freeze needs a white ascot & FTC should quite recycling that inappropriate eyeglasses mold they insist upon using.
                      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                          My kids D's and I were "giddy" over the Friday newsletter pics. All 4 of those figures are must haves.
                          It's all good!
