I’m 54 years old and have collected toys and comics for over 30 years and since the mid 80s so u can imagine how extensive my collection is so, I definitely get it. I grew up on Batman 66 reruns in the early 70s as a kid and personally, I appreciate the actual line vs not having a line exist at all. Many have read about Todd McFarlane but I was fortunate to actually meet home during a signing when he was with Marvel Comics and how he literally revamped The Amazing Spider-Man comics. I might be dating myself but having that kind of history is priceless! I agree with a lot of the ideas and remain hopeful that this line will continue with even more characters and play sets. Having more variant characters and maybe a few alter ego figures would be cool. I’d totally flip out if a Barbara Gordon Changing Room Play Set and a Batgirl Cycle were ever to come out. I’d also love to see a Commissioner Gordon play set as well.

I believe that everyone is forgetting that these action figures are categorized as 6 inch action figures. They are toys for Pete sake. So let us just humor the thought for just one second and say that McFarlane toys did make some of these action figures in the toy line perpetually height correct: would anyone complain why the price of a 4” action figure is the same as a 6” one? In the toy world, I think we can all overlook the height factor and just be humbled at the fact that such an iconic classic was resurrected into a toy line after 57 years of it original television debut.

It seems like Todd McFarlane toys are basically making smaller scales of the figure toy company Batman, 1966 8 inch figures. Well, I was disappointed that Mattel discontinued their line a few years back. I am very pleased with what I see with McFarlane and his vision. I realize that he’s getting a lot of pushback and some not so good reviews, but I’m looking at it from a standpoint where I basically grew up with Adam West, as Batman, so to see the toy line after so many years of the iconic and can’t be television show, I am overjoyed, in addition, we get a background figure which doesn’t necessarily have to be the likeness of the late great Yvonne Craig, but she fits the bill and the collection nicely. I really would like to see a playset with Barbara Gordon’s bedroom and batgirl changing room. hopefully will also see some other variance, such as the cat woman, action figures, unmasked, and perhaps figures of the altar.
