66 batman line

[houseofdracula]

This may have been discussed already but it just dawned on me that so many of us (Me included) are waiting for both Catwoman & Batgirl in this line.
I don't currently own any female figures but I was just looking at the FTC Daisy Duke figure and noticed that there are no elbow, knee, wrist or ankle joints.
Thus, if they use the same body for Catwoman & Batgirl, there won't be a lot you can do to pose them.

FTC should make all their female figures with multiple points of articulation. My daughter and her female friends want to pose their 8" female action figures in varies positions, just like the male figures can do. Even field FTC...Please even the playing field.

FTC really shouldn't even use that body at all. Its probably cheaper for them.

Or they are going with the baloney of "Well, the original Mego body wasn't articulated; why should this one be?"

Uh, because you are trying to improve on the Mego legacy, dimwit, not copy it exactly! It's the same excuse they gave me for the teen gals figures.

now now,we can't have all this negative nancy talk as it might offend the cheerleaders .FTC needs to stay cheesey or otherwise it wouldn't be a Mego

screw that! That's why I passed on WonderGirl, and I wanted one bad as a kid!!
I'm just glad WonderWoman, Isis, and Batgirl in my collection are all
poseable bodies. Not a fan of straight arms, or the silk screen printed suits ( on BG and SG)
mego did....

I think they realize that there would be open rebellion if they tried to use the simplified body for their premium line.

At minimum, they already have a female articulated body that they have been using for other lines. It is far from a perfect body, but it is better than the Daisey body.

Many of us are holding out hope that they re-do the female body to give a more believable female look.

Thank you for letting me know.
As I said, I don't currently own any female figures so I'm not really sure of what to expect.
After reading your post, I went back and looked for an articulated female body and found this one that they use for the "Jane" figure.
I like that it can be posed.

I'm fairly sure the Daisy body was a one off, specially made to harken back to the nightmare that was the cheap new body Mego made for the original Daisy figure. I'd be extremely surprised to see them use this...thing...on any other female figures.

Wow, wave 4 looks great! Everyone is new to me since I'm not getting the variant Alfred, so this is fantastic!

[ODBJBG]

Looks like a great assortment. While this line and FTC are not without their problems, there's no denying that the 66 Batman line is the best Remego line to date and the best 66 Batman merchandise tie in ever.

[ovenmitt]

I cannot believe in 4 waves we already have 9 VILLIANS and 4 are show created characters!

Bring on Catwoman and Batgirl (and Barbara Gordon) NEXT wave!

[dr_cyclops]

FTC, shut up, and take my money!

[PNGwynne]

So, does anyone know what actors' likeness rights FTC has access to? Between what they advertise, and the Batman'66 comic, I'm trying to guess how deep they can go with the line.

The lack of rights for Roger C. Carmel confuse me--I've never read where he had heirs.

I don't know who would "negative nancy" giving Daisy a new body and new bodies ESPECIALLY for the Catwoman/Batgirl 1966 stuff.

"Negative Nancying" really depends on the product. I'm actually surprised they DIDN'T give Daisy a new Catwoman Batgirl 1966 body upgrade simply because while the Dukes line is obviously a tribute to the old line---it ain't like their WGSH line which is so obviously a "replica" geared line.
