First pics 1966 tv batman, robin, joker, riddler!

[The Bat]

My take:

Not happy with the Riddler at all, I don't think he looks like Frank Gorshin.

Batman: pretty nice but his head is to BIG.
Robin: not bad...but the likeness is off.

The Joker: "dead on" perfect!

I see myself using them as Customs. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the costumes!!! I plan to replace Batman's head with a 70's Neal Adams style sculpt.
Robin, need to find a an Adams style head sculpt.
The Joker, gonna put my Heath Ledger Resin head to use finally!

The Riddler...not going to buy at all(and he was one of the ones I was looking forward to the most)I don't think he looks like Frank Gorshin.

Having looked at these repeatedly, I like them more and more. They are kind of like Mego's Flash Gordon 10" line...a step up from the usual offerings. A "deluxe" series if you will, with better costume detail, etc. But they still look Mego, which is VERY important to me. I'm getting the Hot Toys, but I don't want my chocolate in my peanut butter, ya know?

VERY psyched for these!

its the waiting thats sucks about all this ,i am in for two sets easy.Holy MEGO ! ,those look so cool .

[comicmike]

they're happening...they're really happening...i mean, can you really really believe this? Years later, and proving that wishes really do come true...and it's the Holidays...what more can i say? ~gasp~
I didn't get to see the TV series when I was young. ...but I sure loved my 8" Megos...I could only relate to the series from my Batman-Catwoman Viewmaster stills....then the '66 movie was re-released during a summer 10-ish years later (was it summer of '77 I think?)....I was wide-eyed in that small home-town theater...I"ll never forget it...I saw it again a few years later at a public showing at our local university...then I started watching the '66 series in my early 20s when I got a satelite dish and the '89 movie resurged the TV re-runs....& right around then I found a '66 movie on VHS..man, I'll tell you, I got probably the deepest into my Megos in that era...a deep passion in my young adult brain...I even started sending away for after-market Megos through toy collecting catalogues...now here we all are, and 8" Batman TV Megos are really happening...I mean, they are really, truly~ happening~...it's just ~WOW~!
Honest, I celebrate Christmas in my personal traditions...I'm up too late, & I'm looking at these pics again & again, and I think I really believe in Santa Clause right now...just WOW! ...I hope I can sleep tonight...

I think those gloves are going to be popular customs items down the road.

AMEN! I wonder if there are hands in there or if the gloves will be solid in the hand area and a stem to insert into the forearm?

The Batman and Riddler suits look ripe for pilling. Pilling was the word I was looking for earlier (thank JediJaida). I guess we could use fabric shavers on them

It's like a puzzle piece that's been missing for 40 some years has finally fell in place.

[mego]

These are ok, not great.

[kingdom warrior]

I dig them so getting them.....

[fallensaviour]

I'll be getting a set for sure!!!

[ScottA]

I'm in.

[hedrap]

Yeah I'm in.

If they were Hot Toys accurate, it wouldn't feel Mego to me. These are close in representation, with enough slight differences, that they feel Mego-correct.

That Batman, for me, is actually near-perfect. He has all the trademark West aesthetics but a better mask fit than West ever had. Maybe it's because he doesn't look cross-eyed.

I will definitely pre-order these. Robin's mouth does look a bit small, so hopefully that is fixed. Now if somehow an official DVD would be released.

[MIB41]

THOSE were the pics I was looking for. Very fun!! I will be ordering them. Another home run FTC! Great work by the Farrow!!

[dr_cyclops]

Love them!
