The 1966 Batman Message Board

Hot Toys would be NUTS not to make Julie Newmar first. Nothing against Lee Meriwether but Julie Newmar is the gold standard for Catwoman. I'd buy a Julie but not a Lee. If Hot Toys holds rights for only the '66 movie likenesses, then Meriwether it will be. But, let's face it: odds are none of this ...

As this stop motion video features the HT 1966 Batman (and Robin!), I thought it might be best to link it here in the 'Merchandise' section.

Pretty funny, and certainly well executed.

As nice as these are, I can't get by the face sculpting - which for me, and for the price, just isn't on the mark. Batgirl is certainly terrific, but Batman and Robin (especially) leave something to be desired. The West sculpt just doesn't look well defined (fleshy and, dare I say it, jowly?), and R...

Thanks very much!

I have my Dynamic Duo posed with the Newmar Catwoman Maquette and they look damn fine together so having the car aint a big issue...I'd have to save up to pay for the thing anyway. Mr. Jimbits, would you be able to post some photos of your Hot Toys B&R with your Newmar maquette? I'm on the fence ab...

Wow! I held off on buying the BD set (the basic complete set) until only a few days ago, when I did as this thread suggested and ordered the Italian release - through Amazon UK. I paid £39.88, with the set being sold by an Italian company but 'fulfilled by Amazon UK' (i.e. the stock is stored in Ama...

There's been some suggestion that the coloring of this 'variant' might anticipate the forthcoming '66 Batman animated film - but I tend to think that's a tenuous justification at best.

Is anyone here tempted?

I have collected so many vintage items over the years, but when they announced the Hot Toys 1:6th scale Batman & Robin figures, I had to own the pair....and am ecstatic with them. They are a little pricey, but I think the quality is worth the $..... Yeah, I must agree. Aside from Chuck's cowl (and ...

It should also be noted that there have been consistent complaints about the build quality of the NECA figure - legs coming off, etc. Although the old 'hot water' method is cited as a way of 'fixing' some of these issues (i.e. softening the plastic to refit), it is a legitimate concern.

That's ridiculous! I've heard many stories of this happening, so one must assume build quality is non-existent on this over-sized figure. Neca should be ashamed, as this figure retails for over $140 here in Australia. I'd be sending it back, myself.

Dreadful.

I seriously doubt Adam and Burt recorded commentary for every episode which would have been roughly fifty hours, they seemed to be running out of things to say during the two hour feature. The selection of a well-informed moderator/host on the commentaries would certainly help prod West and Ward in...

Oddly enough, I think changes to the original body make it appear less lifelike - i.e. more like an action figure, with the cliched chiseled torso/abs. I think Hot Toys were bang on the money for my tastes.

But, absolutely - whatever works for you.

Aussie Batfan, can I please ask if you ordered these HT figures? If so, from where? I only ask as I'm in Melbourne and was wondering where other Australian fans were ordering their copies from (I went through Popcultcha myself, which appeared to roundly offer the lowest price given my location). Tha...

HotChix review is up, with some excellent footage of the HT TrueType body and what has been added in order to 'beef up' the '66 Batman (great for those who will likely never remove the outfit, and are curious as to what lies beneath).
