As said before, the Reeves Superman logo is not even accurate. Actually nothing is so my interest in him is gone. As much as I would like to support this lineup, this round has nothing I care about. I wish they had atleast done one new show character.

Well, that '66 Superman is definitely not George Reeves. Disappointing.

'66 Batman robot is my favorite out of the bunch.

I agree! This round has no interesting new additions and that Superman looks terrible! At least I can get an additional regular Batman and Robin again for my Batboat.

Someone wrote they thought it was Ben Affleck as George Reeves from the movie hollywoodland. I never considered that.

Agree Randy. At least one from the show would've been nice. But this is what we got.
That said I'll most likely fill out the collection with all of them.
The robot seems fun.
Do you think the Joker's head might end up a little too small, like egghead?

I don't see Affleck in it at all-- I'm also not sure where the rumor started that this was going to be George Reeves in the first place, he's not in the comic. Yes I know there is a one panel cameo, but you do that as an artist when you DON'T have likeness rights. I like the Robot a lot but truthfully I never cared for the comic series-- it felt too Third Season Jokey for me. I'm a big fan of Lord Death Man because of Kuwata's use of the character in his vintage Manga series on Batman.

That Alex Ross Superman and Batman painting was used in a TwoMorrows Book about TV Superheroes.

That is what I would ALWAYS prefer. Here is my uprated wish list, starting with most importance:

Mad Hatter
Batcopter
Suit and Derby Riddler
Bat-Signal
Eli Wallach Mr. Freeze
George Saunders Mr. Freeze
Masked United Underworld Penguin
Bruce Wayne in civilian clothes
Dick Grayson in civilian clothes

Lou, Is ordering direct from McFarlane quick and reliable? Do they put stickers on the toys boxes?

I ordered from McFarlane in the past-- super fast shipping, no stickers. I'm not a MOC kinda guy but everything looked fine.

Just went to BBTS - the pre orders are sold out except for Joker and LDM.
Went to Mcfarlane toys and was able to preorder a “ bundle” which is each figure plus the Batmobile, which I don’t really want or need, but oh well.
Delivery in October.
Anyone else have this experience at BBTS?
