"Yes, Commissioner" and "Sure Thing, Batman". They are unlicensed, as so much “Batman ‘66” merchandise of that de...

"Kingdom Come" Superman by Ian McLean, on Flickr

"Kingdom Come" Superman just arrived from eBay. He joins "Batman '66" Alfred, the comics' Krypto and TV's "New, Original Wonder Woman".

Where is it exclusive to? In 2018, there was a twin-pack at the run of big toy/comic conventions in the US. Sometimes the leftovers end up at retail in places like Australia. And on eBay. Then there was unmasked single Kato, to go with the previous single Hornet. For 2019's big toy/comic convention...

Wowsers, I totally missed out on the duo pack from last year.

New poses for the 2019 exclusive Pop twin pack (right), compared to the 2018 twin pack (left).

And not to mention Mezco had the good sense to start with the big villains! I still don’t know how Funko thought that the minor villains would sell well, I mean I like them, but the general public doesent know who they are! But Mattel did the main villains first and it didn't save their line. Funko...

In Sydney, Australia, "Batman" didn't start airing until halfway through 1967 (Sunday and Tuesday nights), but when episodes ran out, I am sure the Sunday time slot went to "Captain Nice" and/or "Mr Terrific".

Sydney's Australian TV premiere wasn't until Sunday night, June 25, 1967, with the followup episode on the Tuesday night (June 27), so we always had an extra 24 hours to wait for "same Bat time, same Bat channel" (when the narrator started using that phrase). I remember the whole family sitting down...

Well done. Fabulous backdrops Ian.

Thanks. It's the lounge room set from the Mego "Bewitched" two-pack (8" Endora and Serena), and the back panel of Mattel's unmasked Batman.

For the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood soundtrack, Quentin Tarantino has managed to dig up an old promotion for KHJ “Boss” radio featuring Adam West and Burt Ward in character! And it's on the movie soundtrack CD and LP! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48650820568_398ff314ed.jpg Soundtrack to On...

Picked up this week: "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" movie soundtrack CD. Final track is the Radio "KHJ Batman Promotion" from the end credits, featuring the voices of Adam West (Batman) and Burt Ward (Robin), plus the "Batman '66" theme music. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48650820568_398ff31...

DC Multiverse Alfred Pennyworth comes with several alternate heads: comic book Alfred, Michael Gough's movie Alfred, The Outsider, and even the beloved Alan Napier Alfred from "Batman '66", that goes nicely with my Mattel figures. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48635177598_00d64f288f.jpg Alfred...
