Yes, indeed! I ended up pairing up my villains:

And the next villain wave has been announced: Egghead, King Tut, Clock King, Bookworm, Mad Hatter and Mr Freeze.

The guy who makes them said he requested permission to make Louie the Lilac and the licensor said they didn't know who that was and no one would want to buy it :roll:

I'd love to see Commissioner Gordon and Alfred, plus Olga to go with Egghead, Siren, False Face and Shame. Plus Mr. Freeze (season 1) and Lee and Eartha's Catwoman. Clock King is a nice surprise.

Maybe Louie is still not on the list of character likenesses that can be licensed out. When he appeared on the animated "Batman: The Brave and the Bold", the actor's likeness was not used.

Clock King was featured in the "Batman '66" comic (and was specifically revealed as Mad Hatter's brother).

It is unlikely we will see a pin of Commissioner Gordon, either, since his likeness was not approved for the comic - nor Figures Toy Company 8" figures, nor Funko 4". Neither was Louie the Lilac.

It doesn't surprise me they picked Clock King over Louie. Clock King is a comic book villain and made 2 appearances on the very popular Batman Animated Series. So the name alone gives the character a boost. Kind of like how Mr. Freeze often gets made over Egghead and King Tut, but on the series he was no where near as good as them. Also, by the third season viewership dropped a lot and many people may not have seen Louie's episodes compared to the exposure Clock King got in his early season 2 episodes. I always felt Bookworm, False Face, Clock King, Ma Parker and Black Widow were the best of the one shot villains, but Archer and Minstrel had some cool looking outfits and would make great action figures, even if I didn't care for either villain.

FanSets recently lost their DC Comics and "Batman '66" licenses and they had to sell their as-yet unsold stock to an associated online seller, PinForce.

Three new '66 villains have been announced. Not ready for ordering yet:
