A pass for me because I gave up on this line long ago and got rid of my figures, but I know a lot of you are still invested in these.
Alfred as Batman variant, which is interesting because I don't think we ever heard Alf's last name on the show, and they seem to have put him on a super thin body. As I said I no longer have my figures but I don't remember Alfred being on a thin frame for the regular figure.
Also in this wave are the long awaited Catwomen; Eartha and Julie (although she looks a little more like Lee to me). Odd that they call her a superhero because I'm pretty sure Catwoman in 1966 was a proper villain.
Rounding out the set is another "variant" of sorts-- Alfred's Cousin Eggbert from whatever episode that was.
All of these are up for pre-order on their site with shipping planned for December.
) when they tried pushing Batman and Robin tied to plastic tables. Honestly...? 
That, and why couldn't they give us a False-Face figure? No, they give us cousin Egbert which is just a rehash of the Alfred one. FTC, I just don't know.....
With every stunt event he was looking into the Grim Reaper's face each time and staring him down. The fact he broke every bone at least once was like notches on a gunslinger of the old west's gun handle. That, and he wore colorful outfits like a superhero with a cape and carried a diamond-tipped cane like a magic wand! I think he should have had a stars and stripes top hat to boot when he was't wearing his helmet! In some ways he was just like Batman swinging between the office towers or Superman soaring through the air, albeit Evel would be aloft only for a few seconds. My friends and I used to emulate and imitate him and all it took, much to the dismay of our mothers ("You stupid kids! Just because Evel Knievel wants to kill himself doesn't mean you have to! 
) Check this out to get Evel's point of view for a stunt and feel for yourself what it would be like and take to face such a challenge that you couldn't turn away from.
) while I remember his friends saying they thought Evel was the epitome of the fearless and adventurous American Spirit never backing down from a challenge. This was Evel's appeal back then, but I will agree with you - he was quite the showboat (with a possible deathwish at that, who knows?) as well. Who wouldn't have been in his position? You'd have to do something to distract you from your high stakes, risk-loving lifestyle.
These guys were calculated to get the comic crowd as fans and it worked and the team-up with Marvel comics in '76 was just going to have to happen one way or another anyway at some point. Interestingly, the Love Gun 1977 tour, which was the height of their stardom, was also referred to as 'rock meets Star Wars' (before that they were considered 'rock meets Hammer Horror carrying on Alice Cooper's legacy) because the movie had come out and their stage set was phenomenal in terms of sleek-looking and special effects. It was a great time. However, as much as I liked Star Wars I was never a huge fan preferring Star Trek (original series and original movie series) and, as I said in the Justice League thread, I have zero interest in Disney's Star Wars recycled hash.
