Action figure collectors had to wait nearly half a century for good action figures based on the 1966 Batman television series. But now that the license has finally been unlocked and figures are abundant, the potential selections are almost overwhelming. Hot Toys has reduced some of the noise with their latest reveal.

I'd like to prepare you for the two best 1966 Adam West and Burt War figures action figure collectors are going to get any time soon. Mattel's stuff is fine, NECA's 1/4 scale figures look great, and there are some other fun alternatives. But Hot Toys absolutely nailed the dynamic duo, as you can see with the new details and images below. This is an awfully fun time to be an Adam West Batman fan.

Batman (1966): 1/6th scale Batman Collectible Figure “Na na na na…Batman! Batman! Batman!” The catchy opening song, campy style costumes, and lighthearted comical scenes have made the Batman 1960s television series a classic among Batman fans. Adam West has become synonymous with the crime fighting hero and the show’s success has even led to a movie being made featuring most of the original TV cast. Hot Toys is excited to introduce the 1/6th scale Batman Collectible Figure from the 1966 feature film. The collectible figure is newly developed and highly detailed, which is specially crafted based on the image of Adam West as the iconic character Batman, featuring a screen-accurate masked head sculpt, specially made costume Batman (1966): 1/6th scale Robin Collectible Figure “Holy Smokes, Batman!” The crime-fighting hero of Gotham City is rarely seen without his faithful sidekick – Robin in the Batman 1960s television series. The campy and lighthearted TV show has become very popular with fans and a movie was made between the first and second season of the TV series. Hot Toys is delighted to introduce the 1/6th scale Robin Collectible Figure from the classic 1966 Batman movie. The collectible figure is newly developed and highly detailed which is specially crafted based on the image of Burt Ward as the boy wonder Robin, featuring a screen-accurate masked head sculpt, the classic Robin costume, weapon and accessories. The Batmobile will be coming soon, please stay tuned!

It's difficult to talk about Hot Toys figures without spewing superlatives all over the place. The head sculpts are typically wonderful, the costumes are superbly high quality, the accessories are numerous and amazing, and the articulation is perfectly lifelike. The only thing I can find to complain about with this pair are the way the tights occasionally reveal the awkward knee articulation, and some could argue that's a feature given the characters' tendency for knobby knees.

My only other beef with this reveal is that it didn't already include the rest of the Batman cast! It will be a real shame if these are the only two characters Hot Toys manages to get to, but given the flurry of 1966 Batman collectibles this year, I'm worried the line might not get enough support over its competition.

But at least we know one more thing will be joining the line. The batmobile is coming soon...
