Batman 66 Guesses for Wave 4

[thunderbolt]

pretty sure the sculptor mentioned O'Hara and Gordon in one of his interviews.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^If you go by the Batman 66 comic, they seem to have Alan (Alfred) Napier's likeness (although some early issues didn't seem to use it), but Neil Hamilton's Gordon is a bit iffier. Everyone draws him with glasses, but the likeness is usually pretty soft. Jose Luis Garcia Lopez bucked that trend in the Two-Face special, however.

Sorry if this was addressed before. If it was I missed it. Does anyone know if they have the rights to do characters like Alfred and Comissioner Gordon?

[jayraytee]

Agree. I do hope they improve upon their female body greatly if not just for the 66 line. They can't be as slapped together as the other female figures, if that happens I might lose interest completely.

[rodkeith]

If they don't push out Catwoman and Batgirl soon, some folks (me) are going to lose interest.

Agreed, They would do well to get a female out ASAP. I hope the delay is to get them looking right.

I got my series 3 last week, so I am ready for series 4 now !

I would like to see the following in series 4:

• Catwoman
• Mr. Freeze
• King Tut
• Bookworm

But I am afraid that it will be something like this:

• Bookworm
• King Tut
• Batman variant
• Robin variant

Why no Mr. Freeze? Because he is my favorite of the three remaining
male characters (from the cardback) and toy companys never release
the figures in the order that I would like to see

I really think we are definitely getting the Mr Freeze in the next wave, we have already seen a head sculpt ...probably will be released with tut or bookworm, and another variant of batman and robin, like each wave is producing. 2 villains and the dynamic duo....I would even bet on a removable cowl batman, and a new head sculpt robin.....we will have cat woman and the remaining villain along with yet another variant of batman and robin...lol...batgirl will finally be wave 6 I would bet....I know we all have our wishes for whatever they make after what's been announced(I personally want a Louie the Lilac).... We shall see

[thunderbolt]

hey, they could have gotten two figures out of that sculpt.

Judging by the '66 comic Liberace is off the table too.

I know from an interview with Kevin Smith that Carmel couldn't be used for the Batman/Green Hornet book he did. That's why the character had a gummy face in the book. FTC could do that design, tho.

I wonder what happened between 1997 and 2014 with the license? Playmates did a Harry Mudd that looked as much like the actor as any sculpt they did back then. I'm sure I have at least 2 in a box I haven't looked in for 15 years.

[TrekStar]

If another Riddler comes out. I would like to see the John Austin version,
Mr. Freeze is a must, along with Newmar Catwoman and Batgirl and King Tut,
Colonial Gumm, Chandell with piano, Ma Parker with rocket fuel wheel chair.

My DREAM WAVE #4 + Wave #5 would be as follows:

FTC: Batman 1966:

Wave #4:

1.) CATWOMAN - (Julie Newmar w/ removable mask & whip/Cat-O-9-tails)
2.) FALSE FACE - (w/ removable masks)
3.) BOOKWORM
4.) Mr. FREEZE - (w/ Freeze gun)

Wave #5: (Season 3)

1.) RIDDLER 2.0 (NEW Head sculpt, Suit + removable bowler & removable mask)
2.) BATGIRL (w/ rooted hair)
3.) CATWOMAN (Eartha Kitt w/ removable mask & Gold catgun)
4.) KING TUT

BATMAN & ROBIN 1966 variants should remain either exclusives or regular or REVISED 66 BATMAN & ROBIN figures released concurrently but in separate cases. I also understand the need to release:
Batman 1966:

*Commissioner GORDON
*ALFRED
*Barbara Gordon
& possibly a *Chief O'Hara (or even Aunt Harriet as a longshot) as well, but I wonder how these Civilian character's figures would sell for FTC, or if they would sell enough to cover the MOLDS/Tooling necessary for their inclusion. I guess if FTC already has the likeness rights for these civilian characters & their figure's tooling/molds are easily covered & allow for enough profit, I say go for it!

*I do worry some of the more colorful & FUN figures of the BAT FOES & Villains from Batman 66, & Henchmen figures/costumes, may NOT make it out if too many Batman & Robin variants &/or regular Civilian characters are released & prematurely KILL TEH LIEN!

Again these 2 Batman 66 Waves are my personal wish, & I know FTC will probably keep the Batman & Robin figures coming, BUT I'm finally cured of my OCD Action figure completest nature thanks to FTC. I have skipped every Batman 66 exclusive variant (I don't count Bruce & Dick as variants), & I haven't bought x2 of Batman 66 wave 3 because of the RM Robin & New Bat-face figures. I'm waiting to buy x2 Shames & x2 Mad Hatters when EE sells them single like they are eventually w/ Egghead & Penguin. I wonder if there is any chance of ever finding out how the RM Robin & New Batman sculpt are selling for FTC compared to Shame & Mad Hatter? Also wonder how Bruce & Dick sold compared to Penguin & Egghead?

[palitoy]

You're in the right place for FTC news, that's all i will say for now.
