Batman 66 getting closer. Toys r us already listing batmobile and sale date

[Barnabas Collins]

I got the Batman/Robin figure set. The wall-piece accessory is a waste. While the figures are cute, I don't like how they're squeezed into the packaging in the climbing pose, because the figures (particularly Robin) now have permanent bow-legs and mis-shapen feet. Also, Robin's legs are painted in several colors (slightly different flesh shade for each sectional piece) and it's a different color altogether from his arms, not to mention paint smudges galore. I realize these are only $15 figures, and I'm glad to have them, but I think Mattel could have done better. Wouldn't it have been great to have been blown away by them?!

I don't have one in hand yet, but a guy over at Fwoosh posted a pic in this thread http://thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic...228&start=1050

I've been thinking about that Batcycle ever since these figures were announced. I've had it for years, and the DCUC figures look pretty good on it, so I knew these would work. I have the Batmobile on the way from Target (shipping confirmed)...and no figures. I guess the single releases are clogging up my order from Entertainment Earth!

Want a 1966 Batcycle for your Mattel figures? Pick up the Hot Wheels 1:12 Batcycle. It fits them great! I just scored one off of eBay for $25.00 with free shipping, and the seller currently has three more, but they ain't gonna last at that price!

Thanks for the photos-they look very nice. Fantastic Batmobile. But too high priced for me :(

^^^Nice! Congrats!^^^

Received my two packs from Amazon, and Batmobile from Target.com today. These are so cool! Can't wait for some villains!

^Awesome! Thanks so much for posting you ordered AND received this! Obviously this goes to show Mattel has NO idea what they are doing, or talking about. They still had info from San Diego saying the car was a TRU exclusive!

Thanks for the head's up. I took a chance and ordered one from Target too. My wife has a Target red card, so shipping was free anyway, and it took 5% off the price.

We'll see if it shows up or not!

Mine arrived from Target.com today---very fast shipping--and yes, it is the Mattel Batmobile! Very surprised at how large it is.

Target.com is showing the Batmobile in stock at $49.99. It's the same stock photo as the Mattel version, but the listed dimensions are different. I went ahead and ordered it anyway (as it can be returned at any Target store, per the site). Add something else to your order to make it over $50 and you get free shipping. Sales tax applies.

Got my Batman and Robin two pack tonight. The twisty tie bat rope kinda bites but other than that I think the figures are awesome. Already trimmed the tags off the capes. Looks great.

Got the price match at toys r us. Brought my receipt and they refunded me 10.86.

Any news on a second series?

[warlock664]

Woof. Not impressed at all. I didn't pre-order, but figured I'd impulse buy 'em once I saw them at TRU. No chance of that now, though. Paint apps are poor, the articulation looks wonky, and the huge tags sewn into the capes - WTH? I'll save my money for Hot Toys - way more expensive, but worth it.
