Re: Toy Photography with 66 Batman Figures.
Yeah, but only the Poison Ivy intrigues/tempts me. I saw some bad reactions, but I thought the Ivy looked great. Even a little Ann-Margret-ish, who was many people's pick to play her on TV, IIRC. It's nice to see female Mego-like 8" figures that don't have the generic Supergirl/Invisible Girl/Batgirl/Wonder Woman/Catwoman face.

Ann-Margret!!!!!!! THAT'S who She looks like! I thought so and yes, I agree, She'd have been great as P.I......A lot closer to the comic than the actress who played Her in the movie.
BTW, has anyone else noticed that the generic face looks a LOT like the cheapie doll one can occasionally find at fairs and carnivals?
Hope those of You who celebrated Yesterday had a great Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Two-Face is not unlike William Shatner, mmmm?

Catwoman finally tracked down her missing cat statues on eBay! A little gold leaf paint and they aren't too unlike the ones from the TV episode.

Re: Toy Photography with 66 Batman Figures.
Some folks at the Mego Museum boards believe Ivy is "borrowing" the Daisy Duke head from FTC's "Hazard" line, and that this should possibly be considered a prototype and subject to change.
Personally I'm more freaked out by Batgirl's mouth. I'm not even sure its possible in real life to form your lips in an "o" and still have all your teeth showing. She looks like the Salt Vampire from Star Trek.

Hey SprangFan,
It IS possible to open ones mouth like that and show both uppers and lowers, however I think that FTC was trying for a "snarling"effect. I'm hoping that "Her" head that is shown is just a test shot. I'm my humble opinion, I'd like to see FTC make a copy and rework it to look like their Barbra Gordon head, but w/o a bouffant hairdo.
Cheers,

FTC's prototype's rarely change, and if they do its usually for the worse. The Daisy Duke mold should be destroyed, just a terrible sculpt.SprangFan wrote:Some folks at the Mego Museum boards believe Ivy is "borrowing" the Daisy Duke head from FTC's "Hazard" line, and that this should possibly be considered a prototype and subject to change.

Re: Toy Photography with 66 Batman Figures.
^^ Yeah, she's a no necked little monster. Yecchh. For 30 bucks I expect a bit better. And then there are the FTC female bodies, pure garbage.
