Two-Face was a Batman '66 comic figure

I wish I knew how to really contact and send the photos of my renditions to McFarlane toys. I tried sending them to their PR/Marketing Department but the contact links at their website do not really seem to work - the email gets bounced back. If any other fan knows how to send the photos to McFarlane, please feel free to do so. Spread the word! Maybe if they see them, they'll make them.

Solid sculpt reuse of the 66 set. These are fun.
Looks so retro ...

Twen titans is an intriguing idea

My only mild disappointment is that I preferred that they would have been based on the original 1968 version, that the hips would also have had sideway joints for better articulation and that the capes would have been plastic instead of cloth. However, this retro line, based on the vintage DC Filmation cartoons that I grew up with, inspired me to create a set of "wish list" renditions of more DC characters in the same style from the other series such as the 1966 "New Adventures of Superman," the 1967 "Aquaman" (with Justice League & Teen Titans), and the 1968 "Batman with Robin, the Boy Wonder" series. I hope folks like them and who know? If McFarlane Toys sees this, perhaps they'll make them a reality!
I wouldn't mind seeing Penguin and the JL in this style.

The Batman head sculpt is terrible. Looks nothing like the cartoon. The belt is wrong also and the cloth capes look tacky.
The Joker is the only stand out in my humble opinion.
interesting that these are re-used molds (mainly) but have an increased price, weren't the 66 figures like $17.99?
