    Long awaited and epic news! Very excited to hear/see more news from the Vegas expo next week...

    In thinking of what merch I'd like to see, other than "tin totes" and t-shirts...this license evokes retro action figures in every aspect, I can't imagine action figures otherwise. Sure, 6" figures would be great, but with so many companies using basic bucks over unique sculpts - that doesn't work for this license. Hot Toys 12" are too big and too expensive for my collecting habits, and statues just...bore me. 8" retro cloth action figures would be the way to go, but with DC retro action's failure at retail, how would this be possible? It'll be interesting to see who picks up this license and what comes about.

      Been waiting for this for a loooooooooooong time, but I hope we get more than just statues and Hot Wheels cause I ain't exactly interested in that

        I would also have zero interest in any 12 inch figures or statues. I would love to see BBP do 8 inch versions of these. I have little faith in Mattel after the way they handled Retro Action.

            dont think Adam was in bad shape considering that it was the sixties and not many people sculpted their bodies like now. Would like to see HT tackle the show but doubt they will have interest

              I think Hot Toys will be interested in this series. Not only have they released every major "costume" character from the Nolan films in one way or another, they have even took the plunge into the 89 movie and vehicles from all the above. The 66 series allows them access to nearly the whole of Batman's Rogues Gallery, and a ton of vehicles. Imagine a 1/6th Hot Toys Barris Batmobile?

              I'd love to see Retros of these as well. Unfortunately, Mattel will probably be involved and veto this. If BBP or EMCE could do it, I'd be more excited.

                Sadly, The price HT would charge for a 1:6 Batmobile would eliminate me. A HT Batman I would go for. Plus, it would fit in w/the other HT movie heroes.

                This could be a could property for Diamond Select's ZICA body.

                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                  I agree, and could you imagine displaying all of them together

                  I mean come on guys, if you want the best most realistic looking Adam, it has to be Hottoys
