Re: NECA DC Comics Prop Replica Batman '66 Batarangs

I see no problem with the Batarangs, as 1:1 scale prop replicas from the series fall under the "here today, gone tomorrow" category, unlike the seemingly endless Batmobile replicas and action figures. I do not expect NECA (or any other company) to actively produce 1:1 scale Bat '66 TV prop...

Re: 1/25 Black Beauty model is out

New tooling makes this attractive. As much as I enjoyed the Aurora version, its inaccuracies were not easy to gloss over.

Re: Flash movie cuts Joker and Penguin

I heard they are changing the ending to a different Batman - Clooney to someone else, but I can't recall who it was. Be fun if it was a '43 or '49 Batman AI figure.... If you're referring to The Flash 's ending, the gag add-on was Clooney--he was the surprise switch. The film did not feature any ac...

Re: Flash movie cuts Joker and Penguin

Batman is not defined by one actor's portrayal, even if I personally believe two were the best/closest to sources than others. It is clear superhero adaptations of the 21st century responded to audience's desire (and comic book fans in particular) to see versions that mirror the source, as opposed t...

Re: Behind the scenes of the Time Tunnel

I thought it laughable that they always appeared at a point in time and space where everything is about to go wrong. Not once did they ever get to land where nothing was urgent or dangerous. Never someplace fun. No, they land on the Titanic or in Nazi Germany or at Ford’s theater just before Lincol...

Re: Meow Bomb prop "The Purr-fect Crime"

This is arguably my favorite episode and contains so many cool props. This prop like so many others created in the series was created from a vintage toy called the Time Bomb by Milton Bradley. I found one recently at a toy convention but couldn't bring myself to destroy a vintage toy so I just 3D p...

Re: Crazy Foam Batman '66!!!

I'm a fan of the goofy looking 1974 vintage Crazy Foam bottles, so I decided to design a '66 Batman version that we all wish really existed. I 3D printed the cap and bottom rim and used a 2 1/4" dia. cardboard mailer tube for the body. I printed out the graphics on white vinyl and covered that...

Re: McFarlane Toys doing Batman 66 figures?

Eh. I do not need yet another solo Lee-based Kato figure. If I had a wish list, it would have a 1/6 scale TV GH and K with alternate, unmasked heads at the top, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen. Anything else, especially products living off of the memory of Lee specifically tied to the ...

Re: Cott Batman soda can sold in Chicago in 1966?

After 4 years searching I found a 1966 Cott Batman soda can. I've always liked the design of it. Was this Batman soda can ever sold in Chicago in 1966? Did it have a limited run of one year? I'm pretty sure my parents or one of my relatives would have bought me the Batman soda can for my birthday p...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #207: The Bat-bible, and Buck Henry’s rejection of camp

Semple's series "bible" was a good idea, but there was no way the production would honor all of its rules as the series took a deep dive into repeating what Dozier, et al., thought was the true rhythm of the series--which was not the early season 1appraoch on the series. I've said it befor...

Re: Bat Binoculars

Thanks Andy! I haven't heard about that figure, but I would be interested in one. I could definitely make the Mego gun because I have been working on a full-size version of the Radium gun for a while now. I have the design in progress and have become hung up trying to figure out the handle and bott...
