NEXT Mars Toys BATMAN Figure...?

[Captain Clown]

I’m glad to see Mars progressing with Egghead, he’s a must-buy for me, but man, every update that isn’t a preorder for Penguin seriously sucks.

It was the one thing I didn't order because it was too under scale, though if it went up again I'd probably have to get it.

It’s up now.

"Hello, I'd like to report a hoax!"

"Hello, I'd like to report a hoax!"

But it is! …It’s just that Mars accidentally called it a skateboard.

Also, now I’m wondering about swapping Gorshin Riddler’s wristwatch onto Romero Joker.

The health and safety manager said no skateboards on the factory floor.

So that was the end of that!

Hadn't thought of it before, but in addition to the obvious Green Hornet and Kato episodes, if Mars wanted, they technically have the opportunity to produce a wide range of personalities in this line thanks to the "wall walk" cameo scenes. Everyone from Sammy Davis Jr. to Santa Claus.

If doing Lurch opens the door to the whole Addam's family 60s cast being done, I'm all in.
And I can finally have the ultimate Family vs on display.

Batman Family v. Addams Family

Batman v Gomez
Catwoman v Morticia
Batgirl v Wednesday
Robin v Pugsley
Alfred v Lurch
Aunt Harriet v Uncle Fester
+
Lincoln Futura Batmobile v 30's Packard Ford Phaeton

If they did them in black & white, I’d be all over a classic TV Addams Family from Mars Toys.

 

[Mondragon]

Will need an extra forgotten accessories expansion pack:

Alfred's bowler hat, umbrella cane, and feather-duster
The boxing ensemble oposing yellow shorts, and gloves for Batman.
Similarly surfing Joker should have included the yellow swim trunks for Batman, and offer both surfboards.
Whatever that mystery Blinky-Riddle-Box was, (actually does nothing)

Any forgotten Penguin accessories.

If they can pull-off an opening umbrella at this scale, would be great!

Trigger detail on the handle, to invoke all the gadgets:

(similar to HotTotys Mando whistling-birds or flame attachment effect) .
Flame, sparks, and a couple of different color smoke attachments:

Include a nasty jar of sardines ....

a mechanical/stuffed penguin...

I think he had a weird hypnosis Penguin noise maker gadget too.

The giant Penguin for Mayor buttons, and a few Posters

the boxing glove attachment was preposterous, but he was lethal with it

If including something for him to steal?
The "Priceless Folio of Famous Parasols" might be the most significant.

All or some could make for some fun accessories.

Original Addams family would be good, but they'd have to be in colour.

(Still waiting for a Jenna Ortega Wednesday too).

Oh yeah, B&W a must for Addam's Family. !

They look all wrong in color.

At least desaturated. Or best offer both.

 

[Asta]

They look all wrong in color.

They'd have to be in colour to go with the '66 figures. It's a catch-22 because I think figures look wrong in black and white because they're meant to be in colour.

I saw these posted on OSR last year.

Not the highest quality but they were obviously a labour of love:

 

[Mondragon]

Those are terrific, color is somewhat at a minimum anyway, though Morticia, Fester could stand to be paler, and definitely Lurch should be pretty much a death white Zombie, not blond with rosy cheeks.

They look great together though, wish Mars or someone would do a set. I'd take what I can get.

Fester definitely needs some element in his head to trigger a light up bulb when attached!

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's a very impressive set, though.

Discerning their real skin colour is an odd one because they were made up to appear a certain way in black and white.

For Batman they let Lurch keep his suntan:

Well, either way, like the Green Hornet, after the Lurch window cameo, a full Addams - Batman crossover would have been great.
Maybe Addams (eccenteric billionaire) is in town to raise money to save some extinct Bat, rents the spooky manor next door to the Waynes, suddenly all the Bats start disappearing.
Wayne think they must be some cooky new villains in Gotham.
Somehow they end up mistakenly fighting thinking the others are the villains.
Addams (swashbuckling swords) fights Batman
Morticia (whips and claws ) fights Catwoman
Wednesday & Pugsley fight Batgirl & Robin
Lurch and Alfred bond over tea.
By the end they realize their neighbors who they thought were square, strait-laced, are actually even weirder, have a more bizarre, cooky secret life in their basement, than they do.

There is something peculiar about that eccentric billionaire and his family next door.

They think we're the weird ones?

I like this idea.
