They did. I think they're both intimidated by it and had only gave it a cursory sniff.

I looked on Amazon cheapest one is 54.60 add $39.99 for delivery that's close to $100 so your route is better. Maybe I'll get lucky?
I'm a fan of Batman 1966 and other Batman movies too

Today was a perfect day for a rainy day project: bulking up the Bat-Manniquin and fine tuning the costume.

First was building up the chest and abs to give him the dad bod the millennials love today.

Pinned the back of the EZCosplay boots to get a tighter fit around the calves.

I also pinned the trunks for a tighter fit, and I finally got the Evolution Props gauntlets on.

The belt buckle actually broke while I was trying to get the belt back on. Probably due to stress from being worn by my wide self. After some Super Glue, some duct tape, and some strategically placed clips, the belt is back in place.

Finally pulled back the cape to show off the manly chest and the scallops of the gauntlets.

So basically the costume is retired from cosplay duties and will remain on the mannequin. I will soon be consulting Dr. Williams regarding plastic surgery of the face to complete my life-sized '66 Batman action figure.
