Holy Adam West, Batman!!!!! Hot Toys 1960s TV Series Batman and Robin - Full Specs


"Great Scott, Dynamic duo! Hot Toys have done it again!"
"Indeed... Commissioner Gordon. It seems that whoever works at these Hot Toys... has somehow found a way to copy our bodies... exactly!"
"Holy cloning shrink ray, Batman!"
"Quite possible, Robin..."
"Saints be praised! They've even got yer little Shark Repellent spray!" 
"Yes, Chief O' Hara... someone seems to have learned our deepest darkest secrets... even down to the way I dance... the Bat Tusi... I suggest we go to the Batcave and do a full Bat Spectrum Analysis of these figures... To the Batmobile!" 



Yes, well these guys are undeniably amazing. Even if you're not a fan of the TV series (I'm no fan, but I appreciate its place in Bat-History) you cannot deny how cool these guys look. Adam West's likeness is spot on. My only criticism is he may be a bit too tubby, I know he had a bit of a Bat Belly but I think they've filled him out a bit too much in the arms and legs. I'm also not keen on the way the cape hangs around his neck. But that's nitpicks for what is undeniably an impressive figure. 



Robin is also fantastic and the tailoring on the suit is perfect. His likeness isn't perfect, but you can tell who it's meant to be! Those little threads on the shirt are brilliant. Other companies would simply stitch those details on, but Hot Toys are quick to go the full hog, which is why they are so successful and easily hold the title for the best quality 1:6 scale figures money can buy. They don't come cheap, but you know you're getting something fantastic. 



Also, check out that Batmobile... *drool*... As much as I'd love the whole lot, these guys are way out of my price range. Maybe when I win the lottery.
