New solicitations listings have gone out to overseas retailers like
Big Boys Toy Store for new
DC Retro 6" products from
McFarlane Toys based on the
66 Batman TV series. The listings show the following items.
-Batman 66 - Batmobile ₱1,795.00 = $37US
-Batman 66 - Batcave Playset ₱1,795.00 = $37US
-Batman 66 - Batman ₱1,100.00 = $22US
-Batman 66 - Robin ₱1,100.00 = $22US
-Batman 66 - Joker ₱1,100.00 = $22US
Some things to note here. These are not listed as
DC Multiverse, but as
DC Retro. I don't know if that means we will see these designed completely different from the Multiverse figures. The two things that come to my mind when I hear the word "Retro" are either
less articulation or cloth like
MEGO designs. These are listed with a scale that is 6" over the traditional 7" that McFarlane is known for with their action figures
The prices listed overseas might not translate exactly to US prices, but we can't help but notice the low cost of both the
Batmobile and
Batcave playsets which are both listed as 6" along with the figures. Friday in a video
Todd McFarlane did for
WonderCon, he mentioned how they were working on a Batmobile and something bigger, which would likely be this Batcave. It's hard to say what a low price might mean for items such as those, but I guess we will just have to see.
It's also odd that these are being done in 6" scale as opposed to McFarlane's traditional 7". Many fans since it was first announced
McFarlane Toys was taking over the
DC license from
Mattel had hoped for 6" figures. I suspect this scale will only be limited to these "Retro" figures, but I am sure when folks see these it will renew the demands from some fans to see all DC figures done in the 6" format.
