Look out Batman 66 fans because The Penguin and Catwoman are coming to McFarlane’s DC Retro collection!
Citizens of Gotham beware because McFarlane Toys’ Batman 66 Rogues Gallery is expanding. The awesome action figure line has already delivered wonderful action figure versions of The Riddler and The Joker to menace the dynamic duo. But now, McFarlane Toys has shared our first look at Burgess Meredith’s supercriminal – The Penguin. Yes, the purveyor of perfidy is finally making his debut in the new 6″ scale. And the face sculpt looks stunning. But if you thought that was enough to have you reaching for the Batpoles, think again. Because the line will also find itself treated to a “purrrfect” helping of Eartha Kitt’s Catwoman.
ROGUES GALLERY
In addition to Catwoman and Penguin, the line will also see the release of “Boxing” versions of Adam West’s Batman and Frank Gorshin’s Riddler. Which is fitting considering these characters will be making a return to the screen in Matt Reeves’ upcoming Batman flick. Just like the rest of the line, these figures are in the 6″ scale and come with the same articulation as previous figures. Read on for the full details and image galleries.
