New Funko Batman 66 4 inch action figure line

[LordMudd]

I saw a post somewhere...1. The major villains will be spread out over the line to keep it going and facilitate other villains getting done. 2. They are having some individual licensing issues with character/actor likenesses.

Series 2 is suppose to have Joker,Penguin,and Riddler,Egghead and more. I highly doubt they will go any further past series 2. Funko always talks big,but never delivers past a wave..

I would really like Siren, another bad girl for Batgirl.

They promised us Munsters in 2016 and someone asked about Addams Family. Their response was that all of the licenses they wanted were not available, then in 2017 started talking about Addams and ignoring Munsters.
All I really want is a good bride figure for my UM Dracula and I think Lily would look better than Morticia.

there are some rumblings that this line is dead in the water.

Well, that would be a damn shame considering all the major villains yet to be produced. I hope there is one more wave.

And if they plan to do the Addams Family, they better do all eight or not bother.

Do you have a source? I hope that's not true, because a Batman line without Joker, Penguin, and Riddler is absolutely ridiculous.

We'll know for sure at ToyFair.

I hope that's not the case, even though I only picked up a few of these. I think they shot themselves in the foot right away when they made two very desirable figures (screen test batman and alternate Mr. Freeze) shortpacked. I didn't bother with trying to collect them all when I knew I'd have to pay a premium for those two. I know didn't hurt Mezco when they did the same thing with their Classic Punisher, but they have a much broader line up to choose from and a product done in a unique way.

just some people talking at the batman66 forum.

Would't surprise me. Funko have been known for releasing strange 1st series action figure lineups, and then cancelling the line.

[LordMudd]

Funko needs to suck it p and start showing some consistency or they will lose all customer support and end up dead in the water.

I hope it's not true. It may have been too big a gamble to rely so heavily on Tier 2 villains in Wave 1. It would have made a lot more sense to have Joker and Catwoman in the first wave, and Riddler and Penguin in the second. But to only have one of the big 4 in the first wave was a huge risk. I hope it didn't backfire. I won't declare the sky is falling yet though.

But at least we'll always have five different colors of Batmobile... eye-roll emoji.

Dan Greenfield has been covering this line heavily on 13th Dimension, and he seems confident we'll know about Series 2 soon. I hope he's right.
