Batman Classic 1966 TV Series The Contaminated Cowl Batman vs. Mad Hatter

[JediJaida]

Mickey, please give us some assurance as to the 66 line. We have been waiting for four months for some new stuff like Batgirl, Catwoman, etc.

I am starting to believe that they aren't coming.

[Toycade]

I am not trying to take anyone's "spot." Just trying to give you a little hope. Didn't realize I was trying to sit at the "mean girls" table! LOL!

does that "little hope" mean more annoying rehashed variants and figures that have been already done before?

If you will be offering a brand NEW character,then yeah,you might actually sell alot of them

[Toycade]

Of the next 10 that I know about I would break them down as such:
2 100% of you are going to want.
4 75% of you are going to want.
2 60% of you are going to want.
1 50% of you are going to want.
1 Meh...
As far as exclusives go, I think it is safe to say that Figures (or any other toy company for that matter) is unlikely to ever spend the money on tooling and sculpts to introduce new characters with such a limited production run. If they did, a single-carded exclusive would cost you about $50-$75. An exclusive is never going to be a "must have." Except for ours of course. Buy one for each member of your family. An exclusive should make you say "WOW! I never thought I would see THAT version of my favorite character!" Bottom line, I am a fan first and a seller 2nd. I am far more excited about what is coming than I ever was for what has already come.

Oh they are coming. I have had some in my hands already. Little details are being worked out.

I cannot give any of the details out on limited editions and exclusives but there are a few coming that are All new.

[rlkrefft]

I hope the 10 are these:

Catwoman (Julie)
King Tut
Batgirl
Mr. Freeze
Bookworm
False Face
Clock King
Alfred
Commissioner Gordon
Barbara Gordon

Though since they confirmed O'Hara then I would guess Clock King or False Face would be dropped from the list in favor of him. As for variants I still hope for Surfer Batman and Surfer Joker. Riddler in jacket, Eartha's Catwoman, Jockey Penguin, Locker Room Penguin and a few different outfits for King Tut and False Face. George as Mr. Freeze too. Though my guess is the exclusives will be more of Batman, Robin and Joker.

Mattel has been offering NEW characters as exclusives for their MOTU Classics line since 2009 (SDCC especially) So it doesn't apply to every toy company

My guess is your exclusive is something like the Suited Riddler

I know there is demand for these characters

Batgirl
Julie Newmar Catwoman
Mr Freeze (sculpt has been done and he better come with his freeze gun)
King Tut
Bookworm
False Face

and some generic Goons,Cheif Ohara,Alfred,Archer etc....

With a blind commitment to purchase every other figure in a subscription model that you can't get out of.

Lest we forget, no license or likeness fee there either.

and that's not Mattel making an exclusive for EE or BBTS or somebody else, they keep it in house. So, everything FTC makes and sells is basically the same as what Mattel does.

[MIB41]

Of all the conceivable variants that would strike a note with me, I would love to see an UNMASKED suited Riddler figure and removable cowl Batman. Need a new head for that one to be relevant for me. From there I would hope the next pack are more limited edition characters, rather variants. I would love to see Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Chief O'Hara, and a set of Goons. Maybe somewhere done the road we could get a very limited Aunt Harriett, LOL. I'm not sure if there's enough market for that character, but it would be fun to complete the family at Wayne Manor. Wouldn't it be great if they did a limited edition play set of the Wayne Manor Den where the book case pulls back to reveal the Bat-poles?

not talking about the Subscription...talking about "Exclusives" that were not made as variants ONLY,but actual NEW characters as exclusives..(Orko,Rokkon/Stonedar,Queen Marlena etc)

I don't see why FTC can't do the same

[rlkrefft]

Those who know of at least 10 new figures, can you tell us how many of the 10 are villains? I don't mean variants of Joker or Riddler, but never before made villains. The card back shows Catwoman, King Tut, Mr. Freeze and Bookworrm. Are these the only 4 villains out of the 10? I think it would suck if the remaining 6 included Alfred, Gordon, O'Hara, Aunt Harriet, and Barbara Gordon. 5 non costumed characters would be so dull. These should be exclusives, Batgirl and villains should carry waves.

I still think that for the 66 line, once they have Barbara Gordon they should do a dressed up set of her, Bruce and Dick with something glittery that the bad guys can steal! Bruce and Dick in Tuxes with "diamond" tie tacks and wallets and Barbara in a red dress with a big gaudy necklace and bracelet - Something Catwoman would want to STEAL! Maybe even call it the Secret Identity Victim set.
