Perhaps if we wait long enough, someone will make an aftermarket head for Cesar. The other thing that might help...notice I say "Might help" is to widen the face with putty and after painting the white face, mix up a bit if a grey and stipple brush it to duplicate Cesar's mustaches. Just a suggestion!

I think a few of the figures have been good Romero likenesses, especially the ones that add his moustache. He was not on the list of "No Likeness Rights Available".

The Joker definitely didn't have to be altered, as Neil Hamilton's face always is. (Alan Napier's Estate signed a licence halfway through the run of the official '66 comics, and that's when his Alfred and Egbert figures popped up for FTC.)

Not to be pedantic, (who am I kidding? This is me… haha) but it’s important to remember that there are actually three different Batman ‘66 licenses, one for merch, one for the comics and one for animation. The likenesses are not mutually exclusive across all three, which can get super confusing.
