    Still think False Face would be doable, and I wouldn't mind seeing it go out into the 66 comic villains.

      I think the line has legs, but they will have to be very intentional with it. I have been trying to convince them to take modern characters and give them the 66 treatment. Sure, many purists would balk, I get that. But you could mix in classic characters as well. Cast a broader net for those who wouldn't typically purchase a 66 product while giving old school fans the chance to see fantasy versions of characters they didn't know they wanted.

        Over the years it has been revealed that Two-Face and Poison Ivy would have been used if Season 4 would have been picked up. I also think that kooky character like would have fit in with the Batman '66 villains:

        * Captain Stingaree
        * The Cavalier
        * Cluemaster
        * The Eraser
        * The Mad Monk
        * Sweet Tooth
        * Kite Man
        * Polka Dot Man
        * Tiger Shark

        And yes I want Henchmen and what few Henchwomen we have had in this series. I also would love to have the Man-Eating Giant Clam!!!


        And what about the rights to do Legends of the Super-Heroes? More characters done in the Batman '66 era.

              Not sure what the hold up is with Catwoman, but she would pretty much complete the line. O'Hara without Gordon is kinda sad.

                I don't think we need comic book villains on a 1966 card, the upcoming Scarecrow FTC is doing is very silver age looking and will fit in fine. They are also doing classic versions of Two Face and Poison Ivy and even Harley Quinn. All of these will work with the Batman '66 figures without really extending the line to them. I would much rather see False Face, Olga, Clock King and Siren made. The goons for Penguin, Catwoman and Joker are a must.

                  Agreed. I hope they limit the 66 line to characters that appeared on the show only.

                    Well its either that or variant city really soon, then the line will be running on fumes. Bane, Harley, Croc, Clayface have all appeared in the 66 comic and would work well in the line.

                      I'd like to see the line keep going as well. I think the rub is the cost of tooling a head vs. how many will actually sell. Everything else can probably be reasonably repurposed items that are already in their repertoire. I also think they'll need to keep the same price point or it will drive people away. I like the NECA Home Alone offerings, but I had them in my hand and just couldn't pull the trigger at nearly $100 out the door for three figures. I think tertiary 66 characters would suffer the same fate if prices were to rise.

                        I liked the idea I saw on Facebook, I think it was 13th Dimension, that FTC should recreate Action Jackson and offer different costumes for the 66 villains henchmen
