      Are these only available from FTC or will they also be available from BBTS or Toycade?

        Boo! another variant! The breather could have been sold as an accessory, and this is how the figures should have been sold in the first place.
        The standard B or R figure, with at least five accessories, makes for a value at $30. As a variant, when you've already bought the Standard, Grimace Face,
        Boxer, and Surfs Up? not so much.....

          Arent those the heads sold in the accessory pack? Pretty lazy re-packaging even as a variant.

            FYI the email newsletter still has "First look at KISS Destroyer" as the headline. :-)

              Yay! more (overpriced) variants that nobody asked for...TFC is really stretching it putting together useless variants

                Gosh thanks for publicly pointing that out, really appreciate it.

                FYI i did this newsletter on the train while travelling across country and trying to negotiate a home sale. I'm under slept, overworked and fed up with this kind of thing.

                  Yeah, anyone collecting the Batman '66 line will immediately recognize that as a repackaged accessory kit, with costumed bodies. I get revitalizing the line with different looks and packaging. Just not sure what demographic in this group would chase after this one since they already have all of these pieces if they have been collecting the line. I'm of the opinion if this is whats remaining at the end of a really excellent run, it would be better to just bypass these oddities. At this stage characters like Commissioner Gordon and Catwoman are the big exclusions.

                        Yes, Toycade will carry a limited number of these. Now listed! They should arrive around the same time as Penguin Bride Barbara Gordon so bundle them together and take advantage of free shipping! This is a great set for those who may have missed the accessory set (also on sale at Toycade of course) Not for everybody, hence the extremely limited run of just 300 pieces, but fun nonetheless in my opinion. They make a really great gift for the fan who loves Batman and Robin but does not want to commit to the entire line. http://stores.ebay.com/Toycade

                          After seeing this, I went over to the FTC page, ready to place my order.
                          I then noticed that to order both Batman & Robin, it was going to cost $100.00 for both figures.
                          So, I passed.

                          I love Batman 66 and I love this line.
                          I also want to support FTC for giving me this line but I can't justify spending $100.00 for these 2 figures when I already have multiple Batman & Robin figures.

                          Also, I held off as long as I could but I finally just bought the Adam West & Burt Ward Hot Toys figures so my wallet is looking a bit thin.

                            I'm glad I'm a completist and decided to sell all of my 66 figures or else I would begin to feel a tad exploited.

                              Bat breather variants with accessories? just when you thought this line was getting better,
                              this is up there with the heroes in peril variants.

                              Weren't Bat breathers already added in the accessories package?

                              I was hoping like many others for Catwoman and Commish Gordon, maybe a Henchmen or two?
                              perhaps there's an issue with getting Newmar's permission for licensing? stranger things have happened.

                              She's one of the top (4) main villians, (9) have been made, plus variants, but not Catwoman?
                              It's a head scratcher for sure.
