These are cool and all, but the blue on 1966 and 1993 should be reversed. The '66 cowl is much closer to the Knightfall and the '66 blue is much closer to the '93 if you use Mcfarlane's own figures as a guide. It may not be exact but that '66 is definitely too bright. His publicity shots are frequently different looking so will have to see the actual item to know for sure.

Only interested in 89 Batman.  Might sound cliche but Keaton was Batman for me growing up.  The animated version just looks weird. Sometimes 2d doesn't translate to 3d and I think this is one such instance.  Any idea on price?

Oh man I need that Batwing! But my wallet is hurting already! Sigh gotta do it though…

[Jscott991]

Target is carrying the Batwing?  That's impressive.

[Cxb452]

Man I missed out on the BatWing the first time and now I’m gonna miss out again.  Stupid bills. 

[MagnaPrime]

Surprised by the scale. Will that be a price drop too?

The Maxie Zeus figure has been one of my wants for years, so I'll be buying that wave up as soon as they go up on Target.com. I don't have room for that Batwing, but it is a beauty. 

I'll keep my fingers crossed that we see more BTAS B-A-F figures into 2025. I suspect the Bruce Wayne B-A-F will be next wave since it was skipped over due to an unidentified problem. Hopefully, McFarlane will go back to B-A-F villains. Todd mentioned that the BTAS Hugo Strange has been approved by WB/DC licensing in an interview during SDCC. I think they could do an Animated Clock King rather easily by using either of the Two-Face BTAS or TNBA bodies, which are basically a suit, then painting it to match the colors of Clock King's suit from the BTAS show. All they really have to do is sculpt a new head and probably a large clock hand for him to hold. They could actually do a chase figure too by painting the suit in the brown & tan combo and then a chase in all black since both color combos were used in the show.

The Animated Talon figure, which was shown at the 2019 NY Comic Con already sculpted, is definitely another figure on my wish list. They also showed a rendering of an Animated Hush figure too. It was in a trench coat that suspiciously looked like the one used for the most recent Joker figure. I believe the Hush trench coat was brown as opposed to the Joker's grey trench coat. 

There are still a number of old DC Direct BTAS figures that McFarlane hasn't re-released: Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, Mad Hatter, Firefly, Ventriloquist & Scarface, Officer Montoya, Penguin, Clayface, Harley in a nightie, Man-Bat, & Roxy Rocket, plus they could start doing a number of different colored Batman figures like the lightening strike figure in the Maxie Zeus wave. That's a number of waves right there.

My only issue with all of that is that I'm tired of buying figures I have already to get the new characters.    Yet I keep doing it LOL  We also need Red Claw, Tiger, Rupert Thorne, Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon and HARDAC but not as Batman

I really, really hope he eventually re-releases Lois Lane.  That's the only animated figure I am excited about (although I've picked up Scarecrow, and preordered the Supergirl and Livewire pack).  I passed on that the first time because I wasn't satisfied (and it wasn't a great likeness) but I've regretted it for a while.

She is a cool figure but can't stand up for anyrthing

Few of them can, in my experience. I somehow got my New Adventures Catwoman and NA Batgirl to stand. But it's a no go for my NA Batman, NA Joker, NA Poison Ivy, and NA Robin.

I have all the TNBA figures but don't display them.  LOL  FOR THAT VERY REASON

I love the whole Diniverse, but I am very partial to the look of TNBA v. BTAS, so I definitely display them.  Even with the stands, it's a challenge.  It looks like the ones I have standing unassisted are actually Ivy and Catwoman.

I found the ones with huge heads the hardest to stand LOL

[BB_Shockwave]

I think most of them can stand on their own, except poor Zatanna who has no heels. The rest can be made to stand up, even if it is tough to keep them balanced.

I'm torn on these cowls. If the cowl isn't 1:1, maybe a bust of Adam West, Michael Keaton, etc., under the cowl would be better than an empty headpiece.
