Batman 1966 - 5 Points Figure Box Set by Mezco Toyz

I can't help but love the details and care that went into these, but that price is a HUGE bullet to swallow for me. I know the Reaction figures run around $15 and this matches pretty closely and I'm not big into 5poa stuff, but how can Hiya be so close to the same price as these items?

INSTANTLY PREORDERED! Been waiting for this!!!

I would guess maybe licensing costs are different for Robocop/Predators, plus they have some decent parts reuse between all their releases.

This is 7 figures plus a vehicle, so I think the price is pretty fair.

I'm surprised by all the alternate heads and accessories like that. Then also surprised The Joker is the only one without another head haha, I guess all the others are disguise/no disguise. But I'm glad they kind of went all out.

It's about 10 dollars cheaper on bbts. This actually feels like it's just about worth the cost IMO. Only nitpick is that it doesn't look like Batman can sit in the car without removing his cape and Joker not getting a masked head since I'm assuming Penguin with the mask is from the movie so Joker could have a masked head as well.

The amount of goodies we're getting is bananas, admittedly the lack of a masked Joker head is weird since I'm almost certain he wore one in the movie, but I'm just so excited for this that I can't complain! Makes me wanna track down the Funko Batman'66 figures so I can have some more villains haha

I have the funko batmobile and figures, so this is a must. I went through BBTS.

I would love to pick this up, but $140 is a bit much.

Love that Catwoman figure, however. I had the biggest crush on her as a kid, lol.

BBTS has it for $10 less

Love the interchangable heads. Its an evolution in 5 point figures.

Preordered off BBTS since it's cheaper there. This set will perfectly compliment the short-lived Funko line and finally completes the main group of villains. Now I don't feel so annoyed that Funko stupidly chose to do secondary villains like King Tut, Bookworm, and Mr. Freeze before doing Joker, Penguin, and Riddler (which I'm pretty sure killed the line). Plus they gave us Batgirl, which is the one character Mezco unfortunately chose not to include in this set. I now wish Funko had done Egghead too. He's the only other 1966 show villain I'd like to have in these two combined toy lines.

With the alternate heads for these Mezco figures, I'm surprised they didn't offer alternate Lee Meriweather or Eartha Kitt heads for Catwoman. Though I guess for Eartha Kitt they'd have to repaint the neck on the body to match the skintone too. Probably no hope of them doing any more figures/variants outside of this box set huh? :(

Also, did Mezco ever release the 5POA Scooby Doo set they showed off at Toy Fair in early 2019? I'm still waiting for that one and hope I didn't miss it.

I’m assuming Scooby is next up. Mezco showed the warriors the their day. We still need those Superman figures as well.

No love for the Mad Hatter?

Also Funko made Robin exclusive with their Batmobile, didn't they? Really dumb.

Earth Kitt was 5'4" and Julie Newmar is 5'11". Lee Meriwether is 5'9". Maybe Julie and Lee could be done using the same body, but Kitt not so much if you want accuracy.

I'm really surprised Batgirl isn't included in this set. We get Alfred and all the main villains, but no Batgirl?? Makes me wonder if maybe they'll do her as a separate release with her Batcycle if this set sells well enough. I'd love to see that along with the regular Batcycle for Batman/Robin.

I'm honestly okay without Batgirl. Much as I love Yvonne Craig, Batgirl's introduction marked the downturn of the show, so it's hard for me to disconnect the two haha

Nice for the scale, 1/18 is sort of that sweet spot, exactly what I would want to showcase vehicles and other accessory types (batcave). That being said am passing, they did not quite go as far as I'd like for my dream "small scale" '66 Batmobile (would want more features, need several gimmicks to be done). Not tempted to add another version, but they do overall look very good all things considered.

Pretty sure the teaser images looked like the hood would open on the car. It looks better than the Funko one - which was stumpy looking.
