As my dad used to say: “six of one, half a dozen of the other.” The figure on the McFarlane has better body proportions. The face on the Mattel more closely resembles Yvonne.

I just wish that someone would put out an accurate Batgirl where in her uniform was accurate. most capes are too stiff, or the outfit is not colored correctly. I'm working on a Batgirl 66 outfit for my G.I. Jane 12" figure. You can bet that even if the outfit is not made of the exact material, it will LOOK like the correct material.

Cheers!

The oxygen mask Batman and Robin are starting to hit 50% off at Target. One target in town they were full price and the other one they were half-priced but they weren't marked I just had to use the self scanner to check the price.

Thanks for the heads up, Old Chum! I’ve been holding off on the Gas Masks figures because I really dislike try repaint on Batman, but for 50% I think I’ll end up grabbing them after all and potentially doing some customising on the cowl if nothing else.

Batman/Robin oxygen mask were 50 percent off at my Target, too; however, BatGirl was on clearance for $13.99.

I intend to stand my Robot Batman amongst my Funko and Mezco figures. Should look impressive!

Could someone explain to me why a George Reeves Superman figure has never been licensed? Just amazing to me that we have not seen any licensed merchandise from the 1950s.

Picked up Batman and Robin with rebreathers for 9.99 each at Target.

Regarding Reeves, I know he was an only child, but I can’t recall if he had any children to get a license from?

Like Lou, I also bagged my self a pair of the Oxygen mask Batman and Robin for less than what one of them was retailing at upon release. I stand by the fact I greatly dislike the paint job on Batman (which is what initially made me hold off), but i'm tempted to use this figure as my protoype to trial and error a repaint i'd like to do on all of the Batman variants so far in this line (regular, unmasked, Alfred, Pink cowl, Surfs up etc)

Went into a Target tonight and Batman & Robin (oxygen mask) were further marked down to $5.99 each. Which reminds me, is Target done with Batman '66 figures? There are still no preorders available at target.com for wave 8.

Yes, Batman 66 is no longer exclusive to Target thankfully.
