Hot Toys - Batman 1966 Live-action TV Series - Batmobile

[amos brearly]

Could they be waiting until the blu-ray release to get more interest?

I can't see the 1/12 bat selling well and they still made it

great point. heck, if they make the 1/12 bat the 66 batmobile is a dead cert.

Uhh the Bat has NOT been made...but specs are up and POing taken. It will be made.
I'm convnced the 66 Batmobile will not and I don't care if Howard is interviewed tomorrow and says it's coming or in development or whatever...he has said that about many projects that we have not seen despite years of talking about them "coming"

The not knowing if my Batman and Robin figures will ever have their vehicle is very discouraging. Has there been any official announcements?

I sold the duo at retail. These are pretty boring figs without the batmobile

I definitely think we need the car, but how anyone could find these figures boring is beyond me.

100% agree!.......

Guess I'm not a true 60s bat fan- even though I watched this show faithfully as a kid. these are def out of place in my setup without the car/no villains

 

[Lee in MI]

I agree, they could use some flushing out as in more characters to represent this era but boring they are not IMO

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I'd get these two in a heartbeat if there weren't so many coming out soon/likely to go up for PO in the next several months.

no way are the figures boring but the car was as much a part of the show as batman and robin themselves. we need the car for sure. for me a 1/6 66 bat mobile would be the ultimate collectible.

This won't happen. Hot toys have moved on

 

[MegaPrime33]

Ewoks no, but I could see storm and clone troopers potentially being their next big thing. So many different variations of essentially the same kind of character.

Clones are Sideshow's game. HT will be running through the OT for a while yet.

True. I have no interest in the series, but I love the look of these. If I had spare cash I'd get them.

If Hot Toys puts out more product for the series, these will see more sell thru. Right now with them being the only product available to represent the show, guys are figuring "why bother?" And that's a good stance to take. If they don't make anymore and you are not a HUGE fan of the show, they are likely the kind of niche figures that will get moved along out of one's collection anyway sometime down the road.

This year has been disappointing from hot toys considering its the 75th anniversary of batman. All we got is the bat, bank robber joker 2.0 and batman returns batman coming up.

I sense that this will be announced shortly. My local dealer for Hot Toys asked me if I wanted to put my name down for this. We pontificated on what the price would be--I suggested $800, he said more likely similar to the Delorean. I stated that if this was more than $650 I would pass--he said a lot of collectors said the same. Who knows, but damn this would look killer in my collection. My wife was standing next to me during this conversation--her face was priceless, full of eye rolls and not exactly showing the same enthusiasm I had...

 

[gypsycatcha]

I really hope this comes out. One of if not the best car to grace our screens.

I wouldn't be surprised if this goes up when the series set comes out next month

Sounds pretty familiar! My wife's reactions to this hobby are classic
