This is neat and all but the lack of the United Underworld logo is a head-scratcher.

The Batcycle is really nice. The playset is just okay. I've always disliked black and white figures. The B&W figures reminds me of another thing that's irritating about this line, no jumping on point. If you missed the regular Batman, Robin, Joker you're out of luck. I never saw them and have zero interest in surfer Batman, boxing Batman or B&W Batman if I can't ever find the regular one.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

If it's anything like the Batcave set, it's more in scale with Mezco's or Funko's 3.75" figures than McFarlane's 6" versions.
Besides that Batcave, I haven't bought any of the McFarlane 66 figures myself, but Cindy got the Earth Kitt Catwoman, which is quite nice. I know they have a Julie Newmar Catwoman out now too.
I still prefer the Mattel offerings over what I've seen so far, but the Batcycle may be a purchase. The diecast Hot Wheels Batcycle is pretty much in scale, but getting the figures to fit on it right is a bit of a chore.Comment

You know, I give Spin Master a lot of credit for their DC line for keeping main characters on the pegs. You might not be able to find Firefly or Grodd but collectors and kids just starting the line will have no problem finding the regular versions of Batman, Superman, Flash, Shazam, etc. and easily get a nice starter collection.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

I honestly don't know why I am buying the basic McFarlane figures since I like my Mattel figures and the Mattel Batmobile was much better. The only thing McFarlane I have opened so far is the Batcave set, which I use as a backdrop to my Mattel and FTC '66 figures. I am just a sucker for Adam West Batman merchandise.
Really cool seeing a Mr. Freeze though (no pun intended) and a scaled Batcycle.Comment

I might like the bookcase to add to a library set I have, but overall I'd probably pass. And as for the series, I still hold out hopes for a George Sanders Mr. Freeze, but I gather that's a dead end.Hugh H. Davis

Also interested in figures based on literary characters.Comment

Can you head swap these figures? You know, are they ball jointed and you can just pop the heads off?You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Just got the 66 Batcave playset. Like has already been said, it's really under-scaled. Some of the accessories, like the desk, comically so.
The bat poles are too long to really properly hook on and hang anywhere. The circular platform for the Batmobile is a thin piece of cardboard. Same cardboard as the box is made out of. What surprised me the most is the details are all stickers. Some of which were already peeling. Looked more three dimensional in the pics online. The accessories are also really thin and tend to tip over easily. Still the price wasn't bad and I got it on sale. Looks nice with Super Powers scaled figures.Last edited by Werewolf; Jul 4, '22, 6:47 PM.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Finally got the new 66 Batmobile and yeah, it's undersized. The 6 inch figures do fit but they are looking well over the windshield.
Now, Super Powers scaled figures fit and scale perfectly. It's just slightly longer than the Toy Biz 89 Batmobile. If you already have the Mattel 66 Batmobile for the 6 inch figures, this is still totally worth it for Super Powers figures.

So...how do the 4 inch Batman 66 figures look in the Batcave, Villain's Lair, Batmobile, and Batcycle? Were those figures from Reaction or Mezco?Comment
