Caesar Romero Joker Nano
I picked it up at Walmart tonight. Let's see if the Riddler and the Catwoman are next in the series.

No problem. I am shocked that I am the first person to post it. I am usually the last one to know about anything!

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
The backing card on this Joker and Penguin is the same as the Batman 1966's. The other Batman figures show either the Batman Vs Superman logo, Justice League, Suicide Squad, Batman Animated series, or a generic DC card. JADA calls the figure Wave 4: TV JOKER. (DC54).

The Batman figure has the Classic TV Show logo.

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
They are both definitely part of the '66 line. They were promoted that way at Toy Fair. Not sure why they didn't put the classic logo on either-- but then again I didn't notice it was on Batman. That Joker pose, especially, is all Cesar.Big Daddy K wrote: ↑Sun May 06, 2018 7:57 pm I saw the Joker and Penguin nanos but passed as they are not from tbe Classic Tv Show.

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
I am assuming that with the number of different versions of Batman and the subtle differences among them, the company wanted to clearly delineate that the Batman was a '66 TV version. The solid purple costume on the Joker screams Caessr Romero. The lack of stripes is probably due to the mass production of the figures.

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
Batman has Classic logo - the others do not.
Tv show Penguin wears a lavender hat - this one does not. Joker has two colors (pink and green). Why not the Penguin?
The Joker and Penguin in this line look like those from the animated versions of Batman.
They can use whatever card they choose, but the actual figures do not match the characters on the tv show except for the Batman figure.

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
I'll agree that Penguin and Joker are hardly screen accurate, but they're both clearly based on the classic TV show. I think it's always easier when it comes to Batman himself as the Adam West costume is very different to any comicbook version, or indeed, Michael Keaton's or Ben Affleck's. I think of them like the old Corgi Batmobile. It's hardly accurate, but it's definitely from the TV show.
Having just looked at the NJCroice bendable figures, I think that Penguin and Joker are probably the weakest in those collections too. It's mainly the colours that are right, more than any likenesses. I suppose it depends what you want from this kind of merchandise. If you're after accuracy then Hot Toys and Tweeterhead are probably your only options. Let's face it, the Vinyl Idolz, Funko Pops, Bobbleheads, Mattel figures and Barbie dolls look as much like Adam and Burt as Donald Trump looks like Brad Pitt.
Besides... they're cheap.

talking about the correct clothing and not if the faces resemble the actors. The Nanos are too small for that. All the more reason for their outfits to be screen accurate. Just my opinion.

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
This was your original post though...
However, we agree that the Penguin and Joker figures are not great representations (even taking their size in to account). While the Joker pose is clearly Caesar Romero, the purple suit should be much more pink, and Penguin should definitely have a purple hat and bowtie.
Still, they are what they are. I'm not buying them either anyway, but that's more because figures that size don't interest me.
What we're saying is that they are from the TV show. That is a fact.Big Daddy K wrote: ↑Sun May 06, 2018 7:57 pm I saw the Joker and Penguin nanos but passed as they are not from tbe Classic Tv Show.

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
Joker's pink looks pretty close to my eyes. I agree Penguin's hat should be a lighter purple (It was NEVER pink) but his hat is purple and so his bow tie on this Nano, it's just too dark of purple. Tweeterhead has their statue coming out and the color was taken from the exact hat Burgess wore. It's purple, not pink. Also comic book Penguin always had a yellow or orange band around his tummy, this figure is all white in the tummy area just like Burgess. These are 100% TV 1966 Joker and Penguin, and I love them. Only official 1966 merchandise has that Batman art that was created especially for the merchandise. I think the only reason Batman has the TV logo is because it says Batman. These are figures of Joker and Penguin, so it needs to say those names. Are they dead on 100% right? No, but how much of the releases have been? Figures Toy Company's Joker is wearing a purple suit instead of pink. Their Batgirl has a cape that goes all the way down to her ankles. The Hot Toys Batman has ears on the cowl that appear bent. The list goes on and on. Tweeterhead is about the only company that has really given us 100% dead on likeness in every way (so far)

Re: Caesar Romero Joker Nano
I meant purple but typed pink. Sorry.
Hasbro was producing crappy military 12" GIjOES and kept it up because folks bought them. Then along came Dragon and 21st Century who made accurate figures. Once collectors abandoned Hasbeen for Dragon and 21st Century. Hasbeen started making more accurate military figures. So............ if folks keep buying stuff because it's on a Batman card, the manufacturers will keep making junk..
There's no reason why the Nano Joker and Penguin can't be the right colors.
