I'm practically giddy about my first foray into the world of eBay. My first bid, I bid on and won the full set of Classic TV Batman figures to go along with the way too cool Heroclix Batmobile my sweet wife gifted me with.
It is a counter top display that contains all 16 figures in the set with eight random duplicates. The iconic Dynamic duo vs some of the best of their TV foes, including some lesser known villains such as King Tut and the Bookworm (Portrayed on screen by the great Roddy McDowall.
Here the Caped Crusaders do what they do best, complete with campy sound effects graphics, just like in the show.
POW!
That's going to leave a mark.
But you also get sculpts of the Dynamic Duo doing their famous wall-scaling routine via Batarang and Bat-Rope. How cool is that? All that's missing is one of the14 celebrities of the '60s who poked their heads out a window to make with a cheesy quip or two. Holy Rat Pack, Batman! That's Sammy Davis Jr.
And Here we have Bruce Wayne taking an urgent call from Commissioner Gordon while his young ward, Dick Grayson, flips back Shakespeare's head to open the secret bookcase which conceals the Bat Poles. This is quite possibly my favorite pair of figures.
I'm going to have to make room in the Bat Cube to fit all these new figures and the Batmobile inside. But, I think when it is all said and done, I need to build a replica of the Bat Cave to display them properly. Holy foam-core and poster board, Batman--This sounds like a job for the Supa Cat Daddy!
Holy Heroclix, indeed! Here's the new pride and joy of my Heroclix Collection--
Ooooo! Can't wait to get this out of the box!
For my money there's no Batmobile quite as cool as the classic 1966 TV version. Now HeroClix has launched a fully playable version, and what a sweet ride she is, too!
When I saw her I had to have her, and now she is the showpiece of my HeroClix collection.
Just look at this baby!
From the distinctive nose and grille work
To the sleek lines of her profile
Fins, afterburners and drogue chutes,
Who could ask for anything more?
Wouldn't you love to jump in and take her for a spin?
Is there a more recognizable vehicle in the world?
Plus, she's fully playable either as a piloted or autopiloted vehicle once you slip her on to her HeroClix base. There's even some optional campy signage for effect.
Here are the specs. You can take a closer look at them on the HeroClix website.
Hey kids! I've added a new feature to this blog. If you scroll to the bottom, underneath my blog posts, you'll see, "Supa Cat Daddy Presents Movie Serials." Now you can watch classic movie serials right from the comfort of this blog. Isn't that just spiffy?
We'll start off with "Batman" from 1943 starring Lewis Wilson as the Caped Crusader.
