The 1966 Batman Message Board

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48917649151_5d3201ab14.jpg "The Mis-adventures of Adam West", volumes 1-3 by Ian McLean , on Flickr I think the first one collects the original mini-series (which I already have separately, but in storage) and the other volumes collect issues of the ongoing comic...

If the outfit looks familiar...

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...

DC Multiverse Alfred Pennyworth arrived! Goes so nicely with my Mattel "Batman '66" figures. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48635177598_00d64f288f.jpg Alfred and Batgirl by Ian McLean , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48635675122_7d9df360b9.jpg Robin with Bruce and Alfred by Ian M...

Spotted this morning in JB HiFi, Sydney.

These look amazing. I'm gutted we never got joker, riddler, penguin and egghead.

Thank you. Yeah, me too. Here's my Egghead and Olga customs.

Found this set this morning. Had no plans to get these, but they really appealed to me.

There has been a recent set of various Bruce Lee Pops. Not surprising there will be a single Kato, but anyone with the duo pack from 2018, already, is unlikely to need a single, masked Kato. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48364692692_fa39221e84.jpg Kato Pop by Ian McLean , on Flickr When you’r...

SDCC is putting out a maskless version of Kato which makes no sense and doesn't look good. Last year they had the two pack of The Green Hornet and Kato. There has been a recent set of various Bruce Lee Pops. Not surprising there will be a single Kato, but anyone with the duo pack from 2018, already...
