I regret never getting the LEGO Batman set. It’s so well done. I hope one day it will be in my collection. Great video!

[@CarbonScoring]

It really is. I wasn't buying a ton of lego at the time - space issues and all - but I am so thankful I didn't let this set pass me by!

[@ImNotRye]

I have it. It’s my favourite lego set so far. I also love the new batmobile.sad they didnt add robin.

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

You missed one - the Alfred figure that came in one of the last waves of Multiverse under Mattel had swappable heads, one of which was Alan Napier from the show. He scaled quite well with the Neca Batman if I recall.

[@CarbonScoring]

Wow - had no idea! Great catch - may have to hunt that down!

[@marcacosta7594]

I think the Alfred, swap head goes more in scale with the Mattels. Back in his day, Alan Napier was 6'6, few inches taller than Ceasars Romeo. Try to find him, he will look great with your collection.

[@riverehrstien3712]

Cool Batcave sets both regular and in Lego.😃

[@kalphil4385]

I hope Mezco One 12 or Mafex make figures of these two great characters.

[@CarbonScoring]

That would be cool - I am going to have to re-do this video with McFarlane pumping out figures left and right...

[@naomishelton1960]

Just watched it for the second time. Great video!

[@Normonaut]

Gotta love youtube sometimes. Here I was trying to find information about the various batman 1966 figures and compare the different lines, and here you are with exactly what I needed

[@CarbonScoring]

Always here to help - check out some of my other videos for more fun!

[@simplythea9928]

Dam I bet Adam west would be a great cameo

[@CarbonScoring]

The best ever, probably!

[@Yankeesjetsfan71]

Another great video. My love for the 1966 show knows no bounds. One figure you forgot to mention was the NECA 14 inch Batman. I have this and it is phenomenal. I couldn't afford the Hot Toys Batman, so I settled for thie NECA 14 inch. I need to get the Burt Ward Robin as well. Thank you for the awesome content.

[@CarbonScoring]

Thanks, my friend - I always appreciate your encouragement! I don't own those 14 inch NECA figures, but after really looking at the detail of the 7 inch versions, I can only imagine how great they are!

[@richardmark9161]

You missed a couple of variants on the Funko line including a Batman variant that had a different cowl and bat emblem featured in the screen test for the show. This line also featured the Eli Wallach version of Mr. Freeze. The Mattel 6 inch line also included the Batman and Robin action figure set where they were climbing up the side of a building. I also have the Batman with the Battusi dancing action feature and musical TV set. I’m not sure if this particular set was a Comic Con exclusive but I managed to get one for a fairly reasonable price at the time.

[@CarbonScoring]

The Battusi set was a comic con exclusive - as I mentioned earlier, I try to focus on figures I actually own. The Robin shown was the one from the building climbing set, I just can't find what I did with that building accessory - I had no idea abou the Funko Batman variant - I'm might just hunt that one down...

[@richardmark9161]

@@CarbonScoring I thought the Batgirl was only sold in a three pack with Batman and Robin. As far as variants go on the Funko, The only ones ever call are the screen test Batman (which I just consider a Lyle Waggoner) and the Eli Wallach Mr. Freeze. It would be great if there were more.

[@CarbonScoring]

@@richardmark9161 She was - kinda stupid that neither she nor Robin were single carded..

[@richardmark9161]

@@CarbonScoring yeah that did get on my nerves. I wound up buying the three pack as well as the Batman with the Batcave accessories and the additional Bruce Wayne head. Got my hands on the Battusi Exclusive and I got the villains. I now regret not getting the Batmobile from Mattel. The new Mcfarlane Batmobile is not in scale with Mcfarlane’s 1966 figures. It is too small and the figures stick up too high. Mcfarlane’s ‘66 Batmobile is better suited for the Kenner 5 inch figures. Apparently the older Mattel ‘66 Batmobile is perfect for the Mcfarlane 6 inch figures.

[@kenhill8272]

Figures Toy Company did a really great 8 inch line of Batman 66 figures. They even included sets of henchmen for Joker, Penguin, Riddler, and Catwoman.

[@CarbonScoring]

I have a few of those - probably deserve their own video

[@richardmark9161]

Figures Toy Company made an entire line from the television series in 8 inch cloth outfit Mego retro style. This included many of the characters from the show and included many variations in wardrobe.

[@CarbonScoring]

After reading your comment, I went back and did some research on those - I knew I had the first series, but you are right - those are really, really cool!

[@richardmark9161]

Hey you didn’t mention Figures Toy Company’s eight inch Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin.

[@CarbonScoring]

You are right - I think they probably deserve their own video!

[@Jag2045]

Nice video - LEGO also released a '66 Batmobile (with Batman and Joker) by itself in 2021 (product code 76188) for those who don't have/didn't want to get the Batcave set

[@CarbonScoring]

Great info - thanks for sharing!

[@yourfatboy5359]

Its a shame that adam west was hated for the show, what a shame.

[@CarbonScoring]

There may have been some initial backlash - as happens when anything get so popular so fast - but over the course of his life, he was revered as Batman!

[@richardmark9161]

I don’t recall anybody everything Adam West over that show. Hollywood producers did typecast him but I don’t recall anybody ever saying anything bad about him.

[@naomishelton1960]

So excited 😆🤗

[@CarbonScoring]

Gonna be so fun!

[@devinjenkins4509]

Let's go

[@richardmark9161]

Besides the obvious egregious omission of the FTC line, you missed a few others. NECA produced a 1/4 scale version of their Adam West Batman as well as a 1/4 scale Burt Ward Robin. To be fair, the FTC line deserves it’s own video. There are many action figures in this line from the TV show. Mattel released a 6 inch version of Alfred that included interchangeable heads. In addition to its comic book accurate head portrait, the DC Multiverse Alfred includes a Michael Gough head from the 1989 movie, The Outsider comic book villain and last but not least, Alan Napier from the 1966 series and theatrical film.

[@CarbonScoring]

I did leave out the FTC line partly because I only have the 1st series and have kept them in package and partly for time constraints (trying to figure out what the ideal video length is for my viewers). Also, I don't own those huge NECA figures and I try to feature figures I actually have in my videos so that I can show what they actually look like in hand. I appreciate the comment and hopefully you will check out some of my other videos!

[@richardmark9161]

@@CarbonScoring ok, I’m subscribed now. I do like your videos very much. I do want to point out that the picture on your video show the words EVERY BATMAN ‘66 FIGURE EVER. The emphasis for me was on the words EVERY and EVER. I just assumed that you were going to talk about every single action figure ever produced based on 1966 tv series. I can appreciate that you don’t have all of the figures (There’s no way on earth I’m going to ever be able to afford those HOT TOYS and 1/4 scale NECA) I’m very impressed by the amount that you do own.

[@3dartistguy]

MacFarlane toys should do more variety of villians like King Tut, Egghead, Mr Freeze and Mad Hatter

[@Jag2045]

Mr Freeze (Otto Preminger version) has been released now and photos of King Tut have appeared online in the next wave. They are doing a "Radioactive Cowl Batman" with the pink cowl as well so Mad Hatter should be coming to the line soon as well

[@3dartistguy]

@@Jag2045 why are they doing a radioactive cowl Batman? How dumb

[@Jag2045]

@@3dartistguy IIRC the licence says they have to include Batman in each wave so my guess is that its an easy repaint like Unmasked Batman/Alfred as Batman/Surfing Batman and Boxing Ring Batman
