Todd McFarlane today released a video for the
McFarlane Toys Summer Showcase which focused on the new line of
6" DC Retro 66 Batman TV series products. In the video he shows off the first three figures being released which includes
Batman, Robin and
Joker. He also shows the 6" scale
Batmobile that holds two figures and the
Batcave playset that is 24" wide.
The 6" figures as we first reported to you yesterday will retail for $17.99 each and have minimal accessories. Looks like all you get are a couple of word balloons to replicate the fight scenes from the show. Batman and Robin do have soft-good capes so they can sit in the Batmobile.
The first wave of figures again includes:
-Batman
-Robin
-Joker
We also know there is going to be an
unmasked Batman offered as a
NYCC exclusive which I think will be made available online. We have also
seen images for an
unmasked Robin and a
Masked Joker, but still no word on how or where those will be released.
The
Batmobile and
Batcave will retail for $30 each. The
Target DPCI# for the
Batmobile is
323-01-3615. In the video Todd mentions these being available at Target but doesn't say they are Target exclusives. I believe these will eventually be available everywhere, but likely will show up at Targert first. It however does not look like they will be going up for pre-order today.
The Batcave is mostly a plastic wall with the Bat-reactor on it. You get a circle piece of cardboard to put in front for the Batmobile to sit on and 11 Bat-Computer pieces to place around the playset. There also appears to be some Batpolls off to the side and a ladder. While I would not consider either the
Batmobile or
Batcave to be high-quality collector grade items per-say, the low $30 retail price I think makes them attractive to fans of the show.
Not shown today but the second wave of figures which have been listed in the Target system will include:
Riddler - DPCI# 323-01-3764 - Price $17.99
Batman Swim Shorts - DPCI# 323-01-9454 - Price $17.99
Joker Swim Shorts - DPCI# 323-01-5411 - Price $17.99
So far McFarlane has not released much in the way of new official images for these. We got a new image of the Batmobile with Batman and Robin sitting inside and a new image of Joker which you can check out below. We also took a few screen-caps from the video. Check back later for more images as they will likely be released throughout the day.
