McFarlane Toys Batman 1966 Retro 6-Inch Figures Revealed

Posted on June 4, 2021 at 10:26 pm by Joe Moore under DC Toy News

Retro Batman 1966 McFarlane Preview

The first photo has surfaced for the upcoming Batman 1966 TV Series Figures that are coming from McFarlane Toys. Last month, we reported on pre-orders popping up for this line (along with many other DC figures). Unlike their current DC Multiverse line of figure, which are 7″ scale, the new Batman 1966 Retro line will be in a smaller 6″ scale. The photo shows off Batman, Robin, The Joker, and a Batmobile. It also appears the photo is giving us our first look at the Batcave Playset.

The photo comes courtesy of @peruvianfanboyaction on Instagram. At this time, there are no officially released details. For now, you can see the photo after the jump.

UPDATE:
A better quality photo has been released by Todd McFarlane.

    Robin's face looks a bit too cherub-like, but I am definitely all in on these.

    Why are they using 3 3/4" articulatin on 6" figures? Look at those hips and please get on the pinless elbow/knee train. Even Super7 is doing them now with the new Conan figures, come on McFarlane.

    The Mattel figures were better than these just because of better articulation.

    I'm curious how big and complete that Batcave playset is. I'll get it just to go with my existing Mattel figures. Also curious if the Batmobile is more detailed than the Mattel version. I may upgrade if it has a more detailed interior and extra features.

    I really hope McFarlane eventually does the Keaton Batman and gives us a 1/12 scale 1989 Batmobile. That would be amazing.

    These are 6” scale,eh? Dope, I’m buying them. They look great.

    Re-registered out of sheer excitement! Few lines have burned me as much as that truly abysmal Mattel line, and even if these aren't perfect, they're already so much better looking that I can't bring myself to be upset.

    That said, I know it's a pre-pro pic and nothing's final (blue ears and black nose on Batman? Sculpted buckle? Fins pointing out? Tapered cape? His whole-ass headshape?) but that Mickey Rooney Robin is... something else. The Batmobile looks promising. They seem to have haphazardly photoshopped the rear of the door to look seamless, which I hope is a sign the doors open but just weren't looking presentable at this stage. The rear canopy is a a lot better than Mattel's. Theirs was chopped down to make it easier for figures to get in with those sealed doors. And it's so nice to see a Romero Joker that doesn't look like Herman Munster at a Halloween party.

    And are those hinges I spy on the Batcave walls, implying that thing folds up into something more compact? Are we looking at a legit kids line!? I could totally get into that, perhaps even more than if they went full McFarlane with the hyper-realism. Especially if the rear of that set looks like stately Wayne Manor....

    Nice peepers, looks like a fun backdrop! More companies should make backdrops type playsets

    Very interesting, but a little troubling that Todd went with a much lower-budget look to these figures than his regular DC stuff. Those joints are pretty ugly looking.

    That said, I'd welcome a whole new line based on the '60s Batman series, so I'm curious to see where this goes.

    I’m going to just quote you. Exactly how I fell, I welcome this but the scale change and changed articulation are troubling.

    Also….where the hell are the Burton and Schumacher films?

    I can't tell if those are simple peg hips or the weird H-hinge hips DC Classics had...

    I'm excited. I imagine he went with the lower scale/joints due to the vehicle/playset(s)? I wonder what the price point will be?

    I prefer the NECA version that they sadly were only able to do with Adam West Batman.

    The articulation is suspect like the faces, but a buy

    The reason I think I can accept a simpler style for these (even if I want to see some changes) is that it fits the show itself. Adults see a comedy, kids see a rousing adventure, so why not make the toys fit that as well with a halfway point between McFarlane's usual work and what we'd see in a pure kids line?

    Can't find the link now, but I saw a listing mentioning "Surf's Up! Joker's Under!" Batman & Joker, unmasked Batman, and Riddler, along with $50 MSRPs for the cave and car. For reference, the Mattel Batmobile was $60.

    Aaaaand there went the better part of an hour composing a post because new members can't post images. Oh well. But they aren't sporting those funky hinged hips....

    Those capes look like ass. They shoulda went with the Super Powers c-clip capes.

    So replace ass with more ass?

    Oh nooooooo! There's a chance they can cut these capes to look good, but those old clip capes were always bad and there was no way to attach a replacement. You at least you have that option with this style

    I'll be in to this line IF McFarlane shows they're going to go more "all in" than Mattel did. If it looks like we're going to get Mr. Freeze, Egghead, civilian Bruce and Dick, more than one Catwoman- then I'll be very intrigued. Right now, these look pretty good, other than Robin's face. Based on the simpler articulation, I'm guessing maybe each figure comes with a Batcave piece (whether the Batcave is 100% built through the figures, or there is a separate playset that can be added on to by with the figure pack-ins), and that will bring them up to $19.99 each, but if they don't do that, and just charge less per-figure, we might get a bigger variety of characters.

    Looks awesome. I just hope that the figures will be sold individually, and this isn't some all-in-one playset.

    Below is what's been solicited at international retailers, most likely before they should have. May not be 100% complete and may change, but so far looks like more coming and the playset is it's own thing:

    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Unmasked Batman – NYCC 2021
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – The Riddler
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Batman “Surf’s Up! Joker’s Under!” Version
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Joker “Surf’s Up! Joker’s Under!” Version
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Batman
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Robin
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Joker
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Batmobile
    • DC 6″ Retro Batman 1966 – Batcave Playset

    I hope they go deep enough that I can add another Joan Collins figure to my shelf, and that they have the good sense to release Riddler in his three-piece

    But I do not envy the people who have to figure out production numbers on the villains. How many Eggheads to a Shame or Tuts to an Archer, or Otto Freezes to Wallach Freezes

    It kinda seems to be more of the same for me. I already kinda miffed most of my DC collection is now out of scale with the new DC figures, but these both look kinda as cheap but with less articulation as the Mattel ones, and it's the same damn lineup AGAIN.

    Not to mention, these faces look pretty bad, as per usual with McFarlane. Romero Joker looks OK from afar, but I bet the usual all flat caked on make-up looking paint from McFarlane doesn't even give us a Romero mustache underneath.

    Between these and the Avatar figures just announced, is McFarlane going to reduce articulation in general?

    Interesting, I may pick these up

    I wonder if McFarlane will do a pack in extra heads for Catwoman (Newmar, Merriweather & Kitt) and Mr Freeze (Preminger & Wallach since they wore similar costumes - Sanders would need a different outfit)?
