Mars Toys 1/6 Alfred Pennyworth (Batman '66)

[Lee in MI]

This exactly the kind of drop off that would happen more often if it were a long preorder.

Mars being a smart company probably used the 89 Alfred as a yardstick for numbers and will be probably similar amount of units.

A cowled head, or Alfred mouth/jaw to go into the Saturn Toys would've been a clever accessory.

I've no display availability to make the most of this figure, but the more I see it the more I'm trying to justify it.

what is that all about?

He

what is that all about?

Kit is so determined to get orders out he has enlisted his kids to help him.

 

[Asta]

what is that all about?

Scalpers (and Toys Wonderland before they went bankrupt) hire grandmas to queue up to buy limited exclusives from Hot Toys' stores. The grandma joke recurs occasionally in Kit's group.

Kit prefers child labour for his warehouse.

Oh, is that Kit with his kid in that photo?

That's Kit with his dad.

(Now you can forgive him when he says he's the rudest store on the planet).

He said he prefer to have his kids help him over his grandma

I do believe he looks better in the green apron.

Love the suspenders. And he comes with two different shirts.

 

[Wor-Gar]

You know, I'm having a hard time finding a photo of Alfred in the full tuxedo. Most photos have him in the suit and tie, and there's plenty in the green apron as well.

Those new pics unfortunately are not very flattering

A sculpt with a smirk/smile would have been suiting. Too bad that isn’t what Mars opted for. I like the look where he’s wearing the green apron best. A pretty common look for him to my recollection and based on some of the pictures.

I would have preferred there would be 666 Alfreds but the devil is in the details.

Only 66 Alfreds made!!!?
