New Batman 1966 pictures up on FTC's FB page

If you want super sculpts buy Hot Toys. Lets keep the 8" format as megoey as we can (is megoey a word LOL )

Neca is proving that you can have it both ways and Universal Monsters certainly pushed the Mego look to a more advanced state, too. I'd much rather have the 66 line like it is from CTVT instead of mini Hot Toys, like a toy that may have come out when the show was on tv.

This I can agree with.

I said it before and I'll say it again I don't want perfect just close and I don't think it's even close.
Sorry if it upsets the masses but riddler is a miss for me.
will I get him?
Hell yes, so I can rip his ugly head off and put on the ctvt remego riddler head.
I'll re paint his mask and bingo instant better riddler.
All others I'm fine with bats,joker and robin all look great.The belt riding up doesn't even bother me,if anything it looks more like west.
But for some reason riddler just does.

I don't disagree with this overall sentiment. But to be fair... NECA has had a few misses too. For instance, I challenge you to find the resemblance in DiCaprio's Django Unchained figure.

Im with enyawd72 on this,....I just removed the lip paint and painted the eyes blue on Riddler,..plus made the masks eye holes darker shade and look now,..looks more like Frank Gorshin IMO...(click on pic for a bigger view)...

I can definitely see Gorshin in that sculpt...is it perfect? No. But, people have to understand that even the best sculptors will miss the mark once in a while. Very few sculptors can nail every likeness every time, especially if on a time schedule.
People like to criticize and it's easy to say hey, I'm paying for this so it should be perfect, but not every song is a #1 hit.

I cannot wait for Egghead to get released.

Penguin is not two bad:


Mr. Freeze is just so nice it looks just like the actor.

[thunderbolt]

so what is in series two, I thought it was posted somewhere that it was Egghead, Penguin, Bruce and Dick. Now Mr. Freeze says series two also.

Looks MUCH MUCH better Captact.... You should be the "Color Guide" for FTC. What you did really changes the figure for me....

Wow, you are right! If you click the version captact did to enlarge and then go to this page (link at the bottom) and enlarge the pic in a different tab you can tab back and forth to see the difference. Those few differences make quite a change to the sculpt, and it does look more like Frank.

Everybody send me your Riddler heads so I can fix 'em...just $5

Here's both of them side by side (click to enlarge), felt he really needed a makeover to make him more like the actor, dont you think?

What a difference a paint job makes!

Now why couldn't they do that in the first place, instead of leaving it to geniuses like enyawd to do it?
