Saturn Toys 1/6 '66 Batman and Robin

[RED.6.Scale]

If anyone’s looking for the Batarang rope I found it taped to the underside of the tray lol

Fresh out of the box with minimal futzing and I gotta say these 2 look absolutely amazing. May get another set just because.

Noice!

What if Mars tackled this?

The emblem would be too low and the pants colors would be wrong

I was 100% sure I was going to need to move the Bat emblem up on Bats, but looking at the source material...I'm not so sure. Saturn may have actually gotten this right even if it doesn't match our collective memory.

That blonde in green is heavily checking out Batman's junk.

I didn't futz with mine at all. The emblem placement looks fine to me and I just use the crotch grabber to pull back any excess trunks after the pose is done. I find these look incredibly screen accurate to the late 60's costumes they used. Honestly, as I've already posted, the little nitpicks vanish when you get these figures. Photos don't seem to capture the quality, especially Batman. Very happy.

Saturn Batman needs more junk.

I agree, the crotch grabber really helps with the baggy underpants. These do look great in person, actually impressive.

Matching nameplates now thanks to EvilFace. Working on getting a proper logo for the bases still so they can match up with Joker’s base.

Really loving what Saturn accomplished with this set. These are up there with the best third party figures I’ve ever seen. I realize all the R&D, etc was done by HT, but whether you factor that into your judgement or not, I couldn’t be happier with these figures. Here’s Adam West as Batman.

Legit. Got my two sets from them. They're also in the US so personally can't speak on how they are when shipping to the UK.

Really happy with these figures, it's a near perfect release and when considering the price point; it's beyond all expectations.

I made some minor tweaks, but thought I'd share something very doable that I think makes a big difference to Robin.

I wasn't too jazzed with how thin his tights were as his mechanical looking knee joints were the only big distraction. I was thinking about padding them out with cotton wool or saran/glad wrap or something. But I thought just an extra layer underneath might solve the issue. My partner's got an extensive vintage fashion doll collection and she found these for me (she had a few, but these were a nice skin tone).

There's no tag on them but I'm assuming they're Barbie or an alike, the length matched Robin's legs very nicely and went on without an other modifications. It was quite a bit of effort to get Robin's costume off, it's very form-fitted and took lots of small movements to get it to clear his hips. Also, his utility belt is glued at the back, I had to slice through the joined layers it to get it off but it reattached easy enough with some strong double sided tape. I did need to trim the ball joint that goes in the ankle connection slightly to accommodate the extra layer, I decided this was a better option than trimming the innner tights and it made the joint a little bit tighter as an added bonus.

The end result is the joints are still there but have a more rounded and organic looking edge, and most importantly, aren't a distraction to my eye anymore. The extra layer stops the shine of the plastic showing through as well, which is a nice bonus.

I'm sure you can pick some doll pantyhose/leggings up off eBay for not much money, and aside from the belt trickyness, it's a pretty easy upgrade.

The only other modifications I've done is taken in the sides of Batman's trunks and trimmed the excess and brought the cape material in to cover the clasp with a few stitches.

I am mad that I don't know how to mod.
