Batman 66 Line

[rlkrefft]

If you like Mad Hatter, Oh man you aint seen nothing yet. The Best from the 1966 line is still coming!

On the card backs the only villains they show that still are not released are Catwoman, King Tut, Mr. Freeze and Bookworm. Not counting any variants on already released villains, do you know if more are planned?

I hope they use vinyl for the Bookworm's patent leather suit!

^I suspect they will; FTC has done pretty well with B66 costumes so far. Hopefully they choose a pleather that looks like the show but still allows posing.

Hopefully they don't ruin the leather look by putting that god awful ugly Velcro on Bookworm. The horrors.

Agreed.
Maybe it'll Velcro in the back.

How about some old-school Mego snaps?

I hate the Velcro in general. It works well in back closures and reduces bulk in front vest closures, but yuck.

But HoD, how can a suit-jacket snap in back?

If you look at some of the pants on the Batman 66 figures, they Velcro in the back.
I was just saying that if they have to use Velcro on Bookworm's coat, maybe it could be put in the back somehow as to not ruin the look of the figures front.
I actually removed the Velcro from both the Joker and Shame's jackets because (Like You) I didn't like the look of it either.

[PNGwynne]

Aha, OK, I hadn't realized that about some of the trousers because I hadn't opened all of them. Sorry about that!

I agree with you about removing the Velcro, but the problem with the pleather is that, since it's not woven, any holes from stitching will show as perforations if it is removed.

Two sets of snaps on the jacket-front, hidden in the gold trim, would serve better.

I also removed it from my Joker and Shame as well. Joker never ever never appeared on the show with his jacket closed. FTC should have known that had they researched. He didn't need the Velcro and it looks just plain awful with the jacket closed to hide the Velcro. Shame is even worse. I mean a beautiful detailed cowboy jacket ruined by Velcro. The inside vest need it, they close so it hides. Outside coats don't need the Velcro. I hope to heck they don't add it on Bookworm, because I don't know how easy it will be to remove it on that material. Joker and Shame were easy.

I also removed the velcro on mines to keep the jacket opened as well as the others,...and rearranged the buttons like in the show,..Joker looks a whole lot better and accurate to the show!!! And even repainted Riddlers lips and shoes!

I wanted to add the boots and guns are repurposed from the Dukes line. I noticed that when I received series one today in the 12 inch format. You could see what was scaled down on the eight inch. Smart move. It works.

[thunderbolt]

the guns don't work at all for Shame.
