^And Chris, it's not as if Catwoman is made to follow the credits sequence.

^Yes, good point. She'd have a cowl and blue skin!

As long as she's not wearing the Mego outfit and wearing the Tv version it's ok.

My money's on it not being a mock up. I think it's just cutting corners.

I still think its all DC allows them to use.

[Earth 2 Chris]

DC is very slavish to their style guides these days. You rarely see product that doesn't have the same graphics over and over. The recent Polar Lights 66 Batmobile kits are the only ones I can think of that have unique graphics, and that was because they had no 66 material built up then.

It's a shame. The days of Mego, Remco and Ideal packaging looking totally different are gone.

I think there's some confusion here. This looks to me like the Retro comic-based Mego repro line, not the Batman 66 TV-based new line they're doing.

[PNGwynne]

You'd think so. But there's additional charaters on back, with colors & costune detailing that mimic '66 details. Particularly Catwoman overall and Riddler's hair color, question-mark motif. Even Penguin's colors have been streamlined to suggest Merdith's.

And yet the logos they're using are the old Mego logos and not DC logos for the characters, adding to the confusion...

Personally I think it looks better than any of their other attempts at card backs.

The card backs for the 66 are on the site. These are only for the remegos.

The '66 cards have images from the show on them.
