66 batman line

[darkbros]

now now,we can't have all this negative nancy talk as it might offend the cheerleaders .FTC needs to stay cheesey or otherwise it wouldn't be a Mego

screw that! That's why I passed on WonderGirl, and I wanted one bad as a kid!!
I'm just glad WonderWoman, Isis, and Batgirl in my collection are all
poseable bodies. Not a fan of straight arms, or the silk screen printed suits ( on BG and SG)
mego did....

[Teemu]

Or they are going with the baloney of "Well, the original Mego body wasn't articulated; why should this one be?"

Uh, because you are trying to improve on the Mego legacy, dimwit, not copy it exactly! It's the same excuse they gave me for the teen gals figures.

This may have been discussed already but it just dawned on me that so many of us (Me included) are waiting for both Catwoman & Batgirl in this line.
I don't currently own any female figures but I was just looking at the FTC Daisy Duke figure and noticed that there are no elbow, knee, wrist or ankle joints.
Thus, if they use the same body for Catwoman & Batgirl, there won't be a lot you can do to pose them.

FTC really shouldn't even use that body at all. Its probably cheaper for them.

[Ivaniski]

FTC should make all their female figures with multiple points of articulation. My daughter and her female friends want to pose their 8" female action figures in varies positions, just like the male figures can do. Even field FTC...Please even the playing field.

FTC's Conan has a warmer, more Megoesque color, maybe some other releases will.

[timmy]

grayish is a good way of describing what I have seen. in some online pics they look "brighter" or "warmer".
I still like them, just didn't know if it was adjusted on newer shipments.

[PNGwynne]

FTC uses a medium skin-tone, a bit grayish. It's not as pale as BBP or Matty's RetroAction. The warm tan of classic Mego is out of fashion I guess.

[JediJaida]

Not as pale as the BBP stuff; their figures looked like escapees from a wax museum.

[timmy]

How are the skin tones on the 1966 batman set? some pics they looked dark or "desaturated"?

[wise guy]

Batcycle with Batgirl set would be cool

[Boy_Wonder_1978]

I'd love to see the Batcycle and the Batboat to go with the Batmobile. Or is that asking too much do you think?

[rlkrefft]

I agree about a 1966 Batcave, even if they have to use the old Mego one with a different background. Just make the Batcomputer look like the one Mattel is doing, and somehow move the Batpoles over the other side where the batcopter landing is (add two poles though, side by side) and pretty much it could work. An in scale Batmobile would be cool too. At this point I could less if it rolls, I just want a great Batmobile to put Batman and Robin in. As for figures, my list is pretty much the same as most. Catwoman (Julie, Eartha), King Tut, Mr. Freeze (Otto and George), Batgirl, Barbara and Commissioner Gordon, Bookworm, Riddler in jacket, Removable mask Riddler, Removable Cowl Batman, Vote for Penguin, Jockey Penguin, Penguin Goons, Catwoman henchmen, Joker henchmen, False Face, Clock King, Louie The Lilac, Siren and Olga. I'd even maybe buy John as Riddler and Lee as Catwoman, but they are less important to me. I just hope we at least see King Tut and Catwoman soon. They are my top 2.

As a side note, since they are doing a remake of the Batcave playset, I'd love to see them do a 66 version with artwork based on the 66 Batman Batcave!
