    Glad ctvt isn't going with goofy grins and a printed costume where more serious facial expressions and individual pieces of clothing are more appropriate. It gives me hope the line will have longer legs than just reproducing vintage figures.

    If the line is going to survive past doing repros, it has to go beyond what was acceptable to children 40 years ago. Too me, the Alfred figure and too a degree the 66 Batman figures shows Ctvt is making an effort to not just capture the 70s nostalgia crowd who are mego fans but also to pursue fans of the characters in general. To me that's a good sign.

      ^I'd like to see them refresh their comic line with Bronze Age accurate figures of Batman, Robin and Catwoman. Long ears, stern face on Batman. Parted hair on Robin. Catwoman in the purple dress, etc.

        Don't care much for the card design. Wish they had stayed with the head shot side-cars.

            I wonder if that is a reaction to some of the criticism of the cards?
            I just noticed it. Wow I'm slipping. I don't like it at all. Stick with the vintage vibe.
            Like M.A.S.K.?

              Wow. I just said that yesterday with no knowledge of what was coming today.

              I hope we see a Yvonne Craig Batgirl before too long!

                Wonderful character choice and quite nice figure. Everything looks as a final product to me, not a prototype. Unfortunately I don´t expect a smaller head.

                    I like it more then the gordon. Should be skinner though, anyone think of a thinner body that can be used?

                      Probably.....I have some good news here for those who may be worriied of "Big head syndrome" for Alfred and Comm.Godon. The advertisement-Banner on FTC page (pictured below) shows Alfred beside Batman and Robin, in which Alfred's head and body are on near 1:1 scale, without any deviation in head size...as compared to Batman & Robin.

                        Looks fantastic!!!
                        This is a must have figure for sure.
                        Call me impressed.
