Mattel Batman Classic TV Series Figures Available to Pre-Order on Amazon.com

The whole assortment of DC Universe Batman Classic TV Series figures are now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. I grew up loving the show, catching it on re-runs almost every day. I’ll admit, when I first heard about the toys, I wasn’t feeling too enthused. After years of collecting muscle-bound action figures, something about getting a not-that-cut Batman wasn’t gelling. But the Rogues Gallery for the show was outstanding, and while the Riddler and Penguin on their own didn’t get me over my hesitancy, the latter reveals of the Joker and Catwoman have gotten me close.

At the current Amazon prices ($15.99 for singles and $29.99 for the 2-pack) these are probably as cheap as you’ll see them – and as Prime products direct from Amazon, you’ll get free 2-day shipping if you are a Prime subscriber or get free regular shipping if you’re not but spend over $25. Amazon has a release date for all figures on August 1. No sign yet of the 1/12 scale Batmobile, but keep your eyes open.

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Classic TV Series Batusi Batman

It’s actually a re-announcement, for those of you paying attention, since Warner Bros. had introduced the Batusi Batman as part of a licensing launch announcement at Meltdown Comics back near the end of March. Since I wasn’t paying attention back then, the re-announcement suits me just fine. I am curious about the “internal mechanism” of the figure – is this some kind of action feature in the torso? I’ll have to look back at my earlier TV series Batman pics to see if the regular figures have ab articulation. (Yes, they have ab crunches.)

Mattel also introduced a classic TV series Catwoman Barbie and a Hot Wheels A-Team van. Holy nostalgia, Batman!

BATMAN Classic TV Series Batman™ Batusi Batman™

It’s the dance craze that swept the nation! For the first time ever, this Batusi Batman™ figure recreates the iconic dance from the BATMAN Classic TV series! Sculpted with authentic likeness and featuring a fabric cape, this figure has unique articulation and an internal mechanism that allows it to perform the Batusi. The diorama package features vintage-look art from Shag, and a sound feature plays music with a ‘60s vibe to perfectly capture the scene where Batman™ shows off his unique Batusi moves. The package is designed so the Batusi dance moves can be activated without removing the figure.

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

NECA Teases Upgrades to the Quarter Scale Adam West Batman – Burt Ward Robin in the Works?

NECA teased some upgrades to the 18-inch Adam West Batman that already looked impressive when we saw it at Toy Fair. In addition to some tweaks to the head sculpt, it looks like Bats will come with Batusi hands and fists. And could it be? Is that a Burt Ward Robin head sculpt at his feet? Also, you’ve gotta love the kitbashes the guys in the studio have come up with. (Click on the image for the full view.)

Since Toy Fair we refined the head & added multiple pairs of hands. Super poseable too. Check this out & enjoy – Adam West

Square Enix Releases Play Arts Kai DC Universe Variant Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern Press Pics

I had mixed feelings when I saw the variant DC Universe figures from the Square Enix Play Arts Kai line at Toy Fair. Now that Square Enix has released their press pics of the first three figures – Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, my take hasn’t changed. I’m mostly positive on their other DC offerings – the Arkham Asylum / City line has been fantastic, and I will probably be picking up the Dark Knight trilogy figures. The Superman: Man of Steel figures look interesting. But these DC variants will most likely be a cherry picking line for me.

I’m expecting that the articulation on these babies will be just as good as the other figures I’ve picked up, but I’m so-so on the designs. This is the kind of thing I worry about with 3A Toys and their highly-anticipated Marvel line. When you look at iconic characters through the lens of an artist with a distinctive style, there’s a chance that what you see won’t agree with you.
