I cannot wait to see what King Tut looks like in this line! I'm still a little confused as to why we're getting a '66 comic figure before we've had the likes of Bookworm or Egghead but, I can't complain given that we're somehow six waves in to this range, which is far deeper than a lot of us would have anticipated even just at the start of this year.

That list shows 3 figures from Wave 6 and 1 from Wave 5. B&W Riddler was suppose to be released with B&W Robin. Some from Wave 5 look to be missing.

I am very happy to see that this line of 66 Batman figures is still going, and I will purchase everything Mcfarlane does for this. Hope it continues to include more villains like Mad Hatter, Egghead, Bookworm, Masked Penguin, Un-masked Cat women, Lee Meriwether Cat woman, George Sanders and Eli Wallach Mr. Freeze, John Astin Riddler, A GOON 2-3 pack for each of the 4 main villains. The good guys, Commish Gordon, Chief O'Hara, Barbara Gordon, Batgirl, Alfred and Aunt Harriet, the Green Hornet and Kato. I am sure it has been discussed before but I missed it, why are there no weapons/accessories with the figures?

The likeness rights for Yvonne Craig have run out. She did not wish them granted in-perpetuity. There has never been likeness rights established for Neil Hamilton or Madge Blake. Nor John Astin.

Lee's Catwoman and Green Hornet/Kato would be different licensing agreements.

I assume accessories were dropped to save expenses. Mr Freeze's hand is made to hold a weapon. But I assume a separate accessory pack is planned? There are a few accessories in the Villains' Lair playset.

Anyone have any updates on the Target pre-orders for Mr. Freeze, B&W Batman, B&W Joker, Villains Lair, and Bat cycle?

Not sure on the pre-order situation but I've had Freeze and B&W Batman in hand that I bought off the peg for several weeks now. Still no sign of the Batcycle in the Targets i've been hitting whilst travelling across the country in the last month or so. The only person I've seen with the Villains Lair play set in hand is Ian in Australia!

"Zing! Pop Culture" in Australia have had both the Villains' Lair and the Batcycle, plus the figures from that wave. I didn't feel the need to get the Batcycle as I already have several smaller versions.

In my area I just seen and picked up a B&W Batman off the peg yesterday. The MR. Freeze has been out there for a few months, as has the Batcycle. Still no Villain's Lair.

Found the B&W Batman at Target in the Buffalo area. Didn’t think I would like it but they really nailed it with the color palette!!
