1966 TV Batman
« Thread Started on Oct 12, 2008, 12:32pm »
My TV Batman figure and accessories has been an ongoing project, well, ever since Classic Plastick went public really. While I'm always working on adding new stuff and upgrading existing accessories, I finally have a likeness to Adam West that I'm really pleased with.

As a 'Mint-In-Box' display the figure really evokes a feeling of 'being there' in 1966, especially with the new Bat-fight decals ! POW! BAM!

Here's the complete TV Batman set on the custom Bat-box insert card. Accessories are attached with elastic cord so they are removable and can still be re-attached for Mint-In-Box display.

Here are some close-up views of the Batcowled head of the figure and one showing the scale of the BatRadio:

Here's a look at my latest TV Batman in his natural environment- my display case -as he takes a call on the red hotline phone:

[image]

I hated to undress the figure completely to try on his spiffy new Batboots so I split them in the back, that's why they look kinda wide. Future figures will get heel surgery so they fit without cutting the boots. Still, I think they look super-Bat-terriffic!

Of course, the hotline had no rotary dial so this accessory will need some modification but I couldn't wait to see how it looked with the figure so I painted it red right away! Holy Hurry-Up-and-Wait, Batman!

Here you can also see the sculpting done on his body to get a more West-like physique. As I look at the legs they might take some smoothing out as well so they're not so 'muscley', depends on the articulation there at the the thigh. Not as critical as the rib cage sticking out.

Here's a closer look at the latest in Bat-footwear: Cut down from 'off the rack' boots and sprayed Bat-blue, I think these really enhance the figure. The vinyl takes a special paint but once it's sprayed it stays put, almost like dyeing the stuff!

"Commissioner! I've been shrunk down to the size of a doll! I'm trapped in a devilish display case, obviously the work of some mad, mad genius!"
