McFarlane Toys has officially revealed the retro new Batman The Classic Series 1966 toy line – and it is glorious!
Holy hole in a donut! McFarlane Toys has officially unveiled the new DC Retro collection celebrating Batman The Classic Series. McFarlane’s Summer Showcase was the venue for the big reveal and it has delivered our first look at Adam West‘s Batman, Burt Ward‘s Robin, and Cesar Romero’s Joker.
But if that isn’t enough to have you sliding down the Batpoles; they also revealed the Batmobile and the Batcave playset! The figures are less robust than their top-of-the-line counterparts and clock in at a traditional 6″. And although the figures are listed as only having five points of articulation, the release images reveal far more possibility than that. So without further ado, let’s take a closer look at these INCREDIBLE figures.
Batman (Adam West)
Kapow! The debonair millionaire Bruce Wayne may seem like your average cool cat, but you would be wrong! With the flip of a Shakespeare head bust and… to the Batcave! Gotham City is filled with a rogue’s gallery of criminals eager to unmask the Batman, but they are thwarted by the Caped Crusader’s own clever ways.

The Joker (Cesar Romero)
Who is the impractical joker with a key to crime? With a maniacal laugh, a twisted sense of humor, and penchant for setting cunning traps, The Joker is one of Batman’s most notoriously fiendish foes. But when it comes to putting an end to The Joker’s crime sprees, Batman knows firsthand that The Joker’s jokes are never very funny… in the end.

“To the Batmobile!” Batman and Robin have many gadgets in their arsenal, but none more hi-tech and stylish than the Batmobile—ready to power on with the touch of a button. When the Dynamic Duo find themselves faced with imminent danger, laser beams, magnets, and a parachute jettison button become quite useful. And there’s no need to worry about villainous takeovers, good citizen, the Anti-Theft Activator is all the Caped Crusader needs to protect his invaluable vehicle.

“To the Batpoles!” With the push of a Shakespeare bust button, Bruce and Dick are transported into the vast Batcave and transformed into Batman and Robin. Housing the Batcomputer and a host of gadgets, the Dynamic Duo solves crimes and is always alert for trouble in Gotham City. Now, it’s time for Batman and Robin to teach the villains that crime doesn’t pay!

Pre-Orders
McFarlane Toys has confirmed that pre-orders for these figures will go live sometime in August. Moreover, they will be exclusive to Target Stores in the United States. Other territories will have to watch their regular vendors. It was mentioned during the live stream that the Batmobile and Batcave sets will set us back between $25-$35. The figures are expected to cost $12-$15 each which is a pretty fair price for the scale.
I don’t know about you guys, but I am beside myself. These new Batman The Classic Series figures are a dream come true for me. And even though I already own their 3.75″ counterparts, I will be chomping at the bit to get my hands on these 6″ versions.
