WB Announces 60's Batman TV License

[pjam]

Nah, Mattel is a different market, I just hope they end up doing the 8" or 10" inch thing, like Dark Knight.

HT has always been interested in this line and earned some points already doing the TV Bats cosababies, don't forget that, guys.

Worst case scenario -- HT gets the Asian 1/6 line and this becomes a wallet killer. Don't think that'll happen with SSC holding the DC distrib deal here in the US.

Also, right now, HT is monitoring this thread for interest I can guarantee you that.

Hey Howard and Yulli.

I actually found this Freeze to be scary when I was a little kid.

They had a similar white-faced freeze guy on an episode of Lost in Space which freaked me out and I think I associated this guy to that.

OMIGOD, it's the inspiration for the Sebastian Shaw Vader!

It could be HT or Enterbay. It could be Sideshow. It could be an upstart company like Blitzway although doubtful they could afford. It could be a toymaker like Mattel doing 6" plastic figs. This is all just speculation at this point. I'm just saying what I would buy. This is actually a great demographic for the 1:6 companies. A bunch of folks in their 40s/50s with a nostalgic streak and disposable income. Ka-ching!

I'd be in for the 1/6 Minstrel figure.

Clearly Howard was always a fan of Adam West.

I'd be in for the 1/6 Minstrel figure.

You win, he's the worst:

How is that even a Bat-foe?

Cool, I honestly don't think I've ever seen an episode of the show with him... very creepy.

I could see this following a similar patter as the Reeve Superman and Keaton Batman. First we get some busts and statues, maybe figures from Mattel/Matty Collector and then HT steps in. Kind of seems that once the licensing opens up for a property like this HT is eventually pulled into the mix.

I third that. Worst ever.

 

[spindrift]

I would wager money on Mattel getting on this before HT.

But hey, I got the Mattel Ghostbusters and Lex from their Superman line. Maybe the cartoonish nature of Mattel will suit the show?

..oh you mean cartoonish because they are just plain awful....

we need HT or EB realism of real actors in outrageous outfits!

 

[Boba Ben]

How is that even a Bat-foe?

He holds the stock market hostage and sings some ditties.

 

[Wor-Gar]

John Merrick agrees!

 

[Boba Ben]

Poor Joseph Merrick.

I seriously laughed out loud in my office when I saw this guys face. He's saying "what do you want from me??"

 

[Nintenjoe]

I used to watch the show as a kid and while never really a fan of it, I'd still buy the figures. They would look awesome displayed together.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Worst? You're all forgetting Chandell - Liberace as twins!

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Actually I loved the trap in this episode - a player piano music hole punch machine. They had to sing the notes that would make the punches go outside of their bodies.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Chandell

He should have been the Minstrel.

Yeah, that's a pretty good one.

One of my favorite traps though is the Penguin's shooting Gallery,

Tough to beat them being turned into stamps with Green Hornet and Kato.

 

[pjam]

Missed that one DD.

Chandell > Minstrel IMO though. Not even close. Can't beat twins.
