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

[palitoy]

I was surprised to see these hit Canada, they only had three figures, Batman and the Penguin looked great. I found the Riddler was oddly a little soft in the likeness department, so I passed.

Got the Joker today. Nice figure but I don't think the likeness is as good as the other four. Neck is too short and the body is a little stocky. Would also have preferred the moustache not to be highlighted as much. I don't know, maybe I'm just being too picky because Cesar Romero is still my fav version of the Joker.

The cards are actually pretty neat ...., best packaging design I have seen for 66 stuff ...

[Remco Monster]

Yeah, Joker and Surfs Up Batman are in stock at EE too.

A carded Joker has hit eBay. Not the best pic, but he looks pretty damn good.

Hope Amazon gets them in soon!

Big Bad Toy Store Just billed me For Joker .
1st I've heard He's out ...

[Hedji]

Can't seem to find a Batmobile nowadays. I shouldn't have hesitated.

Ordered the two pack from Big Bad Toy Store, and Riddler/Penguin from Target.com.

I got a notice that EE was shipping my 2-packs...FINALLY! Not sure why they aren't shipping the other Wave 1 figures.

It will be hard to argue likeness under that costume she has no rights to. Ask Peter Criss and Ace Frehley if you doubt that is commonplace in the market.

It's too bad for Ace/Peter, because, at one point, they totally owned a piece of ALL their related-likeness merch. They just caved, and sold those likeness rights back to KISS... all for some quick cash.

I haven't seen any of this Crap at Walmart.... or any retail here for that matter.

Same here. Looked today at Target just for the h e l l of it. This specific line/size holds zero interest for me (I'm all in with 8" from FTC if they get their act together) but I at least wanted to see it. I'm beginning to think Targets and Big Lots in WA get left out of everything.

I didn't know a Robin single was going to be available in the first two waves. Maybe it's a Wal Mart Exclusive?

There is NO single carded Robin figure.

[Barnabas Collins]

Did anyone get the Joker yet? It is shown in-stock at Entertainment Earth in a group package (wave 2 figure case) at $109.99 as of today.

A Robin single was DEFINITELY said NOT to be coming. Egads...how hard can this be?

I paid 15.97 a piece for them @Walmart, not sure what there going for @ TRU. I may take them back, I"m not entirely sold on these yet. Impulse buying kicked in.

Unless I'm mistaken, the card art for the FTC '66 TV figures utilizes screen caps from the show. The card art for the repro line utilizes the style guide artwork designed by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez that is ALSO featured on the Mattel packaging (Barbies too). There are two different things going on at FTC (repro and TV) but their packaging is using the all encompassing art that WB/DC designed for this whole retro '66 marketing and that's what's confusing the issue.

Good points Anthony. Because Mattel is using the style art and FTC is using both depending on what you want for the carrying case. And the backer cards are screen shots from the show. That really is confusing.
