DC Universe Classics Figure Frustration

[Dr Kain]

I've already got Batman Beyond, so he is an automatic pass. The wings are cool, but not worth buying him for a third time.

Damian's proportions look weird. His arms are way too huge.

Darkseid looks a lot better than what we have seen.

No TDKR Joker?

No Talia or Ras?

No Granny Goodness, Scarface, Phantom Lady, Abigail, Anton Arcane, Voodo, Grifter, Bat Lash, Turnbull, or even a LOSH.

BTW, why does Larfleeze have a handle on his lantern?

To taunt us like all the other lantern based figures who can't hold their lanterns.

[Rhanen]

The pure accuracy of their likeness and pudgy physiques attract me to them. Come on, it's too much! I can't wait to put Adam West Batman next to Tom Hardy Bane. Plus Cesar Romero Joker with mustache hidden under make up. OMG!

Now I wish not only to (luckily) have a Cesar Romero but a Jack Nicholson to put next to Heath Ledger.
I'm just amazed about that Batmobile. I just want it to use it with DCUC Super Powers Batman & Robin.

NECA has presented an 18" Adam West Batman that looks extremely cool

[SCB]

It gets even better. Surfer Batman!




Holy short shorts Batman! Robin

[Dr Kain]

Sur...

the ****?



And people actually want this ****?

[Thatman]

Yes, we do. You're completely entitled to have no interest, but many of us have been waiting decades for a line based off of the 60's series.

[Pixel Dan]

It's a million time cooler than anything from TDKR, that's for sure.

I love these, and can't wait to get them all! Especially surfer Batman!

[ksensor]

I made a lolcat(woman), because I need a Julie Newmar Catwoman on my shelf ASAP!

[SCB]

I bet series 2, if series 1 does well is Joker, Catwoman, and Batgirl.

[ksensor]

That looks like a pretty reasonable lineup to me, SCB. I'd love to have a Batgirl too!

Of course, they could always throw in Bookworm, Egghead, King Tut or someone to push the line out a little longer. I mean, it's Mattel, so that wouldn't be too shocking

[markatisu]

And people actually want this ****?

Judging by how long the lines are to see Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar were at the last 2 cons I went to that they were at I would say resoundingly yes

- - - Updated - - -

I bet series 2, if series 1 does well is Joker, Catwoman, and Batgirl.

I don't think there is a question on a Series 2, they said Joker was coming he just was not ready yet. So I suspect we will see those 3 at SDCC

[Thatman]

They had a sign up for the line confirming that Joker and Catwoman were to be included - Joker will have his mustache, TG said, but as far as I know they haven't said which version of Catwoman. (preferably Newmar).

Optimistically assuming they have the rights to do whichever characters they want, I would have to think Batgirl's top of the list.

Considering for the Batgirl pilot, the only villain was Killer Moth, I'd say they should do him...

I bet they do both Catwoman figures but one is the chase and one is the regular (since in the DC releases there is almost always a chase in the case)

[SCB]

It'd be great if they one day get into Keaton Batman figures. I'd love displaying Newman, Pfeifer, and Hatheaway together along with the 3 Jokers.

[RocketPunch]

I'm loving the look of this Batman line, especially the Batmobile. I hope it's big enough to fit the DCUC figures as well. My only criticism are the capes. I'm glad Mattel chose to use cloth, but they don't look very good. Kenner's old Animated Batman figures had much better capes.

THis is one Bat variant I was thrilled over, so, yes, I do. And it's basically because it is so incredibley bad.

I grew up on this Batman (the Adam West movie is the first movie I ever saw in theaters), and watched the re-runs in syndication throughout the 70's. It was a really good satire on the whole super-hero genre, and the first season and a half had some really good bite to it. It got more into the silliness after that, and that's where you saw the fully clothed Batman and Joker in their swim trunks on the surfboards. Surfing and the Beach movies were all the rage (hello, Franky and Annette) at the time, so this was a lampoon of the trend. And I love the fact we are getting Batman in that ridiculous get-up, because it really captured not just the West character but the feel of the show in general.

Ah, the 60's. You really had to be there to appreciate them.

I am very happy with all of these figures, and, aside from Robin, am amazed at how well they capture the actors. West's masked face looks like a frame from the show, and his portly physique is perfect. Hearing that the Joker will have the make-up coverd mustache (Romero refused to shave his signature mustache for the role, so they just plopped white make-up over it) just makes it all perfect. Now I just need to hear that they are making Catwoman (they could make all three with one body and alternate heads) and a Victor Buono King Tut and I'll be doing the Batusi...

[Slayor]

Add me to the list of people who want these. I've been dying for figures from this show since I was a few years old. I pray that Batgirl gets her batcycle; those two go hand-in-hand. If Mattel makes an Eartha Kitt Catwoman, I really hope the buck is shorter than a Julie Newmar Catwoman.

Am I the only one who wants an Alfred and Aunt Harriet two pack? And Commissioner Gordon with Chief O'Hara and the Batphone!

They are definitely making Catwoman - we just don't know which version yet.

I'm with you on Tut, but I'd really want a Batgirl, Egghead, and any version of Mr. Freeze.

I'd certainly buy them! I hope we get civilian clothes Bruce Wayne & Dic Grayson as well.

They can probably get away with using the same body for Newmar & Meriwether, but I agree that Eartha Kitt's Catwoman should be shorter.

Holy forget-me-nots! How could I have left out Batgirl? It's probably to much to hope for her in a pack with her cycle, but I can't see them not making her at all.

Egghead would be great, as well as the Bookworm, mostly for the idea of getting figures of the actors who brought them to life. I think that's why I want Tut so much; it wasn't so much the character as he was written, but the way Buono played him, that made him my favorite. And would Egghead have been anywhere near as much fun if he hadn't been portrayed by the legendary Vincent Price?

I really hope the sales on this line are so good that they decide to keep it going a little while, at least. The villains were often so fun and so over the top in both character and appearance that I think a lot of them would make great action figures.

There are seven working defenses from this position. Three of them disarm with minimal contact. Three of them kill. The other-- [KRAKK] --hurts.



This should be agony. I should be a mass of aching muscle — broken, spent, unable to move. And, were I an older man, I surely would... But I'm a man of 30 — of 20 again. The rain on my chest is a baptism. I'm born again.

I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you.

[Mermista]

I love these figures, hoping they do all three Catwomen, Newmar, Kitt and Merriweather eventually.

And they really need to work out the rights for the DVDs, so what they are owned by three companies and the creator of the Batmobile gets royalities. We need the DVDs

Oh and a civilian version of Batgirl too would be awesome

[King Kahn]

I found super powers colored penguin, batgirl,, batman and superman all over my area. Still no TDKR batman figure sadly.

It's a million time cooler than anything from TDKR, that's for sure.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THESE! I have wanted these since I was a kid watching episodes in syndication and on nick at night

yes, my negative medical friend. Many people, like myself, have adam west to thank as being the first introduction to batman and therefor superheroes and comics in general.

Great pics. I really need to find this figure ASAP!

[Mermista]

I am hoping we will get a new Oracle, a Batgirl Stephanie Brown along with a Batgirl Cassandra Cain or Black Bat Cassandra Cain figures through Matty next year.
