    Or George Perez's version of Bats would work as well.

      NO! samurai! Don't back down!

      Actually not only do I love Adams Joker because he reminds me of
      all the ol' 70s merch...apecifically I had that
      Power Records STACKED CARDS 45 as a kid
      and man that art in the accompanying book was cool...and
      that HAD to be Adams cause it looks just like the panels you posted earlier.

      The Adams head can work...yeah it'll take a little tweaking on the chin,
      but Dang, get that dude that sculpted SINESTRO and well, he
      could make it work I bet, he sure downsized Sinestro's long-headed look
      in a more normal size without missing a beat!

      Bottom line, I really like that Adams stuff you posted and I'd love to see a
      head closer to that than what Mego did.

            Don't really care as long as it fits with the retro theme. No modern Jim Lee look, thank you.

                The pouch belt, logically makes more sense for holding all of those Bat items, but I've always liked the look of the classic tube belt. I'm also a fan of the yellow oval.
                I like the longer ears and really hope they offer a RC bats and RM Robin.
                It's all good!

                      I think the long ears are pretty cool, and I prefer pouches on the belt, to the tiny tubes.

                        You have to think, with the Adam West TV show in syndication at the time, Mego used a stubby ear version to allow kids to identify with them. Now that we're all grown up, time to Improve the little details (Like Green Arrow NOT having eyeballs) ooh....no eyeballs for Bats either please. long ears.

                          Somewhere on my ten disc bootleg Batman series collection there is a screen test in the Batcave with Adam West wearing a no yellowoval bat shirt and his cowl has long ears.

                          After thE CRAZINESS of the ears through the years . (Berni Wrigtson anybody?) I would prefer something like the brave and the bold look.

                          They can make a belt thats Adam West looking without geting sued right? If it has to be pouches, no more "cloth looking ones"

                          But I'm happy with my Silver Age 9" Batman. Don't need another.

                          And like I said before Best Joker ever was the Silver Age 9" Joker. Sculpt , costume everything.

                          I just wisjh they had used the gloved hands mold on the Msterpiece Batman, That and the messed up Beffy neck ruined a great figure. That cape has mucho cool play value!

                            I didn't get that, THAT 9inch Joker was marketed as Silver Age ..., He was packaged in the Same Box as the Modern Batman,.. and Thus was a Modern Joker.

                              Longer ears than the orginal Mego Batman would be great. I love that image of the bat-belt, awesome! I think the orginal ( the one without removable cowl) Batman Mego was one of the weakest rendering of the DC lines. A solid update is in order, one with a removable cowl.

                                The smart thing for Mattel to do here would be "somewhere in between" to make us all happy.
