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

The kicker is, I just got batusi and the penguin today and they are such cool figures.

[The Toyroom]

Stupid....

If I'd known the line was this limited, I would have bit on the Bat-tusi Batman. Now he's sold out. Maybe he'll show up at Ollie's or Big Lots...

Very disappointed Mattel has no plans for Batgirl, but not altogether surprised this is it. I agree this would be a perfect line for a Matty sub moving forward. Also kinda surprised Mattel didn't take advantage of the A-list character variant potential more. Very happy with what we got...but Batgirl is a huge missin piece IMO.

[thunderbolt]

that was quick. Hope CTVT's line has better luck.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^I don't know why the line COULDN'T go farther. I'm guessing Mattel took the lack of support from any retail chain as a sign that this was dead?

This series would be the perfect avenue for a subscription, ala MOTU and Club Infinite Earths. If they can offer Watchmen like this, why not Batman TV figures?

Mattel continues to baffle me at every twisty turn they make.

I never expected this line to go any further than what has been shown. Batgirl is a seriously missing piece, and a major bummer, but I am surprised we even got a Batmobile.

[kerowack]

Line is dead. Stupidest launch of all time. Barely on shelves and announcing this? It'd take massive sales to make more....but I KNEW the line was going to be this short....I just didn't expect Mattel to help try and kill it.

Woulda been nice to have an Yvonne Craig.....oh well. Hot toys looking more affordable and figures toy company has a window now....

[Earth 2 Chris]

Mattel doesn't sound like they plan to continue the line...at least for now.

Q2. Are there future waves of 1966 Batman figures planned beyond what has already been announced?

A2. No, at this point you have seen all the 1966 figs including the awesome Batmobile.

Got my Penguin and Riddler today too, and Batusi Batman yesterday. Great figures. Love the Penguin. Joker and Catwoman can't come soon enough!

[Werewolf]

Got Riddler and the Penguin today. Riddler's likeness seems a little off from the proto but the Penguin looks really good.

Neca tweeted me back to my question about actual release date of 1/4 scale west and they said mid/late September.

[The Batman Professor]

Back in stock at TRU's website.

Hi. Thanks for the note on the boiling water fix. Last night, I took a hair dryer to Robin's mis-shapen legs and now they're reasonably back to normal.

Robins legs are a different color than his arms, because he wore tights on the show. To reshape their legs, dip them in boiling water.
