Yes, they did. And we can maybe add Scooby Doo too. Archie and gang for sure. I thought there might be one more - Superman from the 50's or 70's.

Anyway if they bring out 12 figures per year, they have a good long list. That list didn't include the good guys or supporting cast either.

I'm surprised the line has gone this deep, but I guess that owes much to the company owner being a fan, as opposed to a Funko or a Mattel where they have to answer to sales figures. Because let's be honest, how many King Tuts or Eggheads could they sell (and I'm a huge fan of both).

Great looking collection, Ken!

I think a lot of the characters unique to the show will sell well simply because of the fact that no one else made 1/12 figures of these characters. Look how quickly they are selling out (at least here).

But are speculators buying, or fans?

Larry,
Its good and bad. Buying them keeps the line coming, but if your not at the store or have the time to search, you're out. We have a FB group here in NEO (North East Ohio) of toy collectors who post when they see new stuff in stores, complete with location.

The part that really worries me is Target reducing the size of the collector area - down to 6 feet of clutter. I'm not sure they would put these and similar lines in a regular toy aisle.

There are so many more characters they can do from the Batman'66 line if they don't have the likeness licenses or they didn't make it to the show: Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Lord Deathman, etc.

Yes, Larry, I’m sure a lot of the problem involves speculators. I’ve noticed that they also grab up the Sideshow Universal monster figures and pretty much any other Target exclusive with a limited niche or run.

And, to your comment, Lou, we have two Targets, but one of them does not carry any of the 1966 Batman line. Target also cut the size of the collector area down to about 6 feet, and, as you say, one of them just looks like a dumping area with very little organization or collectibles in it. The other does not place the 1966 characters in the general toy area, so, cutting down the size of the “Adult Collectible” area may prompt them focus on more recognizable lines.

The good news is the link I gave you a couple of pages ago works, and you receive them in about 2 weeks! I'm still waiting on Egghead, and that outfit is already sold out. The drawback is you pay for shipping. On the other hand, what I paid for shipping, I saved on the figures, so it's net even.

Oh man, this is what i've been excited to see! Although very interesting that this playset is technically in the wave after Tut/Two-Face and those figures haven't even gone up for pre-sale yet.

Wow, Wayne Manor looks good so far from what I can see. Hope the rest of this wave is up soon.

It doesn’t look as if the bookcase slides to show the batpoles though, which does surprise me. Seem it’s all a one piece wall. Can’t wait to see full pic’s tomorrow to confirm this to be true or not.
