Today I finally received my Mattel 1966 Batman and Robin 2 pack. I ordered them from Amazon for $30. They are some of Mattel's finest work since they acquired the DC Comics license. Every Batman collector has wanted 1966 Batman figures for a long time. It has been worth the wait. The figures are extremely detailed and articulated.
Now Adam West finally gets a Batman figure. It's good if you love YTMND or are a fan of the 66 TV series. Anyway onto the toy. The 2pack recreates the classic scene of Batman and Robin climbing up a highrise where the celebrity cameo would peek out the window.
The figures are a bit skinnier than the Mattel Movie Masters figures. It's not a bad thing but, It may be a problem if you want to stand them up. The costumes are superb. Not to mention the capes. The capes have wire support on the edges which is a first for a Batman action figure. It would have been nice if Mattel would have made the capes out of satin, but that would be too expensive. The capes in the TV series were made out of satin.
The scale is the same as the Movie Masters line. Robin is the same height as Faora from Man of Steel. Mattel seems to be giving some effort in making the Movie Masters line having scale for a change. Their headscans are excellent representations of Adam West and Burt Ward.
