New CLASSIC 1966 BATMAN TV SERIES BENDABLE FIGURES by NJ Croce!

Here at the Bat-Blog awhile back we reported about some brand-new BATMAN 5 1/2" Bendable Figures that are being made by the NJ Croce toy company. Those were all based on "silver age comic book" versions of the characters.



Well, now, they have announced some more they're gonna be making and they are based on the Classic 1966 BATMAN TV Series! Our first photo here up above shows what the "Adam West BATMAN" figure is gonna look like. Yes, they're gonna sell these on individual blister cards first (retailing for about $8 each) and then later you can buy the complete set in a fancy window box. You can look for all this stuff to hit stores around March, 2014. Also, please keep in mind that these are "prototype photos" and the actual product may vary.



The characters include: Batman, Robin the Boy Wonder, The Penguin, Catwoman and The Joker too!

Classic 1966 BATMAN TV SERIES Desktop Wallpapers

Here are 2 new Wallpaper Backgrounds I created to celebrate the Classic 1966 BATMAN TV series. 



The 1st one is a vintage black and white photo that shows Adam West and Burt Ward resting between takes. I guess it's sort of a "behind the scenes" photo.



Then, next, here's a more modern day photo showing Adam West waxing the George Barris-style Batmobile car... sweet!

HOT TOYS - ROBIN THE BOY WONDER 1960's BATMAN Movie 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure

 

"HOLY MULTIPLE-ARTICULATION, BATMAN!"

The HOT TOYS Company is trying to drive me completely INSANE by making some really great figures based on the 1966 BATMAN TV Show!! Arrgghh! This Classic TV Series was my personal favorite as a little kid and it's also what really got me into the characters, the comic books, and eventually, collecting the toys.



Now, in 2013 (yes, 47 years later, ha ha ), HOT TOYS has plans to release a Set of Batman and Robin Figures and then, a little bit later in the year, a huge 1966 Batmobile vehicle that is HUGE enough for these large dolls.



The crime-fighting hero of Gotham City is rarely seen without his faithful sidekick – Robin in the Batman 1960s television series. The campy and lighthearted TV show has become very popular with fans and a movie was made between the first and second season of the TV series.

Hot Toys is delighted to introduce the 1/6th scale Robin Collectible Figure from the classic 1966 Batman movie. The collectible figure is newly developed and highly detailed which is specially crafted based on the image of the Actor Burt Ward as Robin, the Boy Wonder! It features a screen-accurate masked head sculpt, the classic Robin costume, weapon and accessories.

The Batmobile photos will be coming soon, so please stay tuned!
