    Exactly. I had planned to earmark the majority of any "Batman 66" funds toward the FTC figures, but I can see that money being diverted elsewhere, like say Mattel figures, if it takes too long to get any info or get these figures to market, just to get that 1966 fix. Are they even going to have any releases of 66 stuff in 2013?

      I agree.
      They shouldn't have posted the photos so early but I'm guessing that they may have been as excited as all of us.
      This could be a good thing,...
      Maybe the reason for the push back is because they're working on better bodies.

        The Mattel figures do nothing for me as I am not into that format, and the Hot Toys stuff is outta my league pricewise. So FTC had my attention, but its sure seems quiet on the Adam West front.

          We should all know by now, when dealing with factories in China, delays will happen. I'm sure Figures is just as frustrated as we are. When they change the date four times like Captain Action has, THEN I'll worry.

            Agreed. My only issue is that the figures take so long to make that I forget what I pre-ordered.
            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

              I hope they take the opportunity to fix RM Robin's over-elongated face.

                I kind of figured that an October release date was being optimistic.

                Looks like Doc is going to be getting most of my money this year.

                  what annoys me is all the hype from FTC and all we are doing is waiting. Their website still says August!! They need to get with it and not hold up peoples hard earned $$.

                  I pre-ordered series 1 and 2 and now trying to figure out a way to get a refund, Ill see come November if Im even interested anymore or maybe Ill just wait and pick up the ones I dont have originals of.

                  VERY disapointed.

                        I'm trying to figure out why they're still selling these on Ebay if it's been pushed back.

                            But still no word on '66 Batman. I'm starting to feel bad for these guys. Could it be that everything (Dukes, Evil, Dallas, Gilligan, Conan etc...) was on the same boat from China? I don't see how that would be very wise.

                              Agreed! Sometimes too much on your plate can cause an overload.......or overstuff if you will. Darn!!!

                                Either that or if they were considering going the outside retail route, and preorders from them were slow, they would push back production and delivery until more retailers were on board.
                                It's not a doll it's an action figure.
