66 batman line

[invisiblelad]

I Agree with ScottMetz 100% on this! This FTC BATMAN 1966 line will be the definitive 66 Batman line & especially done in the perfect format for these figures! Do I wish that AWESOME 66 Penguin was shorter, Yes! Do I wish Egg Head's head was in scale, Yes! Do I wish wave 1 Riddler looked like Gorshin, Yes! Do I wish the eye colors & paints were just a bit different to make some of these awesome sculpts even more actor/character accurate, Yes!....
...but Do I think this FTC Batman 66 line is completely fantastic & will be the BEST Batman 66 Toy Line that will ever exist? Yes! Definitely & Definitively Yes!

I just hope FTC gets a great sculpts, paints, & head scales (w/ removable masks where appropriate) for Gorshin's Green Suit Riddler, Julie's & Eartha's Catwoman figures, King Tut, & the Rest (< sang like the original Gilligan's Island theme)! I look VERY forward to:

1. Catwoman (Julie & Eartha)
2. Mr. Freeze
3. Batgirl
4. King Tut
5. Goons
6. Bookworm

& I'd gladly take more villains (-minus some uninteresting ones to me like Siren, Louie, Marsha, Dr. Cassandra, Zelda, Puzzler, Archer, Minstrel, Chandell, Lord FFogg, Peasoup, Clavicle, ect.)

Actually at least Louie The Lilac would make a good looking figure I guess. I just like the more "Dynamic" Villains myself & rather have goons or costumes for goons, than most of the ones I listed above!

But This FORMAT & Scale is my ultimate favorite for this 66 FTC line! But they NEED 2 Stop the GIANT HEAD Madness! Hoping Alfred will be somehow smaller & in scale & moving forward they will all be!

FTC -Watch the eye colors! Egg Head & Riddler's are definitely off! & get new 66 figures out (New non-variant characters) & keep them coming! Haven't even picked up x2 of Shame or Mad Hatter due to the variants killing my excitement for that wave! Don't want to move on because all the DC stuff is lost in the shuffle with all your product!

I think that's likely true. Look at the Mattel line; it was basically pronounced dead by Mattel after one wave, then they backtracked and said that's not what they meant, then released a couple more figures, and now Batgirl can only be had in an exclusive 3-pack where you have to buy another Batman and Robin to get her. Just judging by the cardbacks and the assurances Catwoman and Batgirl are coming, FTC is easily going to surpass the world's #1 toy maker in this property in short order. I'll admit, I'm probably spending more on this line than I should (still sorting out where to put all the accessories from the Bat gadgets set), but I really think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for this property. I honestly don't see another toy maker giving us guys like Shame any time in the near or far future. This could very well become the definitive action figure line for Batman '66 for a very long time to come.

I sincerely hope that you're right. This is an absolutely fantastic line and would certainly be spoiled by anyone else 'jumping on the wagon' (so to speak).

In my opinion, there are items being made in the Bat 1966 line I'm sure will never be made again by any license holder. Enjoy it while you can.

Welcome to the club sir. We will be meeting at Tony Roma's in Orlando!

awesome!! What a fun idea!!

Yeah, The Penguins hat is removeable.

Thank you!

Yeah, The Penguins hat is removeable.

I finally got around to ordering a set of Series 2 figures and they arrive today. I haven't opened them yet but they look great! I am especially impressed by the Egghead figure. It really captures the absurdity of the character. Is the Penquin's hat removeable? My five year old self would have loved these along with the Series One figures. The part of me that is still five years old loves them!

I thought that meant they would have lifelike teeth.

LOL! Actually, I amazed at how they did the teeth on the 66 figures! Look at the detail on FTC's 66 Penguin's teeth! I wouldn't like that for FTC WGH's figures, BUT I consider the FTC Batman 1966 line it's own entity, & think the detailing is BATastic!

LOL! So SO TRUE! Everyone I know knows I have a "Strong Personality"......... IOW, I'm utterly OBNOXIOUS!

Thank You VERY much for letting us know the hints about the 66 Women (@ least Batgirl & x2 Catwoman) were ROOTED in truth! I am relieved to hear that!
