McFarlane Toys doing Batman 66 figures?

[BatmiteReturns]

One contact said the Reeve head will be available in the aftermarket. It will be as simple as pulling out the old head, and inserting the new head. We’ll see, but if it exists, they will post it on FB.

Very cool but the logo is still wrong

I’m not sure if I should post this here or in the “off topic” forum, but someone on eBay has a pretty decent head sculpt for an 8 inch George Reeves. It comes with glasses that you can remove.

Or just George as Superman

Yes! Saw that, too. With or without the glasses. It’s a good likeness for the Mego line. I think someone is also selling the correct Superman chest emblem, perhaps the same seller? They have it in black and white and color.

I'll apologize in advance for ever-being the Debbie Downer when it comes to the reality of which likenesses are available on the license, but unless Lee has been added (which to my knowledge, she has not) then sadly that's still a no-go.

Although she hasn't officially been included before (eg. no Lee for Figures Toy Company's 8" line either), it is fun to investigate the "Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman" mini-series, because that storyline features (with no actual explanation) all three Catwomen. Lee's Catwoman also has a tail on her jumpsuit, possibly to make the character a bit different to her movie appearance?

Of course, Ra's al Ghul is the main villain, and he has a Lazarus Pit for reincarnating himself. Not sure if that was going to be an intention of the story.

Could the Batman version be far behind?

Is there a Green Hornet available too in that scale?

[Lou Szabo]

Not yet, no GH figure.

Give it time. I’m sure they are wading through whether the do a Batman TV or Batman ‘66 version. Van Williams likeness would be the major issue.

I wonder if the Batman 66 comic license includes the mini series issues of Batman 66 meets so and so? If it doesn’t characters like Green Hornet, Kato, Carter’s Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Ras Al Ghul and other characters featured in the meets runs may not happen. So far ever figure made from the comic has been from the 30 stand alone issues or variant 52 covers (Superman)

[Lou Szabo]

We need those 52 variant covers posted

[rickkrefft]

This link shows most of them. As you could see we can get Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Earth 2 Flash, Earth 2 Green Lantern, Season 1 Mr. Freeze, Zatanna, Batwoman and more from the variant covers. All very classic looks too. I believe there was a Shazam too and maybe a Teen Titans.

Eh. I do not need yet another solo Lee-based Kato figure. If I had a wish list, it would have a 1/6 scale TV GH and K with alternate, unmasked heads at the top, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen. Anything else, especially products living off of the memory of Lee specifically tied to the GH TV series--but does not include a Van Williams version--is a hard pass for me.

Best chance for a 1/6 Van Williams is by Mars toys.

I was thinking along the same lines. If there's enough interest (i.e. profit potential) is another matter.

Here's a side by side shot I took on my phone to compare the McFarlane and Mattel Batgirls. Hard to believe it's already 8yrs since the SDCC Batgirl came out.

I know a lot of folks here don't "do" Instragram, but here's a short Reel I posted today with some narration comparing the two.
