    The Batusi Batman is fantastic, and a great box, too...

      That Batsui box art is by an artist who goes by Shag. He was the cat who brought the retro/cocktail/I Dream of Genie style back.

      Love the guys work. That alone might make me try and get this.

          The Joker looks good! Not sure if portraying Batman as a dunce is a good move. But I get the nostalgia of the "Bat-usi". Just not sure modern kids would appreciate the poke.

            Spotted the Shag artwork as well. Makes sense too.
            Although I would have gone with El Gato Gomez myself. She's more in touch with the mid-century lounge Eames feel.

            Overall a great piece and definitely a keeper.

            Joker is tops!

                Oh I want this! What a great display piece! And he actually does the Batusi w/ sound effects? Bat-tastic!

                  Love that Batmobile!! So the only 6" figure we haven't seen that's been solicited is Catwoman?

                    these won't be marketed to kids. the Bat usi looks to be CC exclusive and says for the adult collector, so kids won't likely see it, except in mommy or daddy's collection

                            Why? It's West's Batman, not Ward's Robin.
