Toy Fair 2015: Mattel Batman 1966 Line (including Batcave Playset Fly-By Video)

Remember watching the Adam West Batman show and ending up with a cliffhanger – only to miss the following episode? That’s what it felt like waiting for news about Mattel’s Batman 1966 line. A nostalgic favorite for many, the line hit some snags with sell-through and its fate was uncertain.

At least until this past weekend, when Mattel announced the Batman 1966 line would be returning to retail. And in a fitting twist, much of it would be reruns. The 6-inch figure assortment is returning with no new additions to the line-up. The one new 6-incher, the Yvonne Craig Batgirl, shows up in a 3-pack with Batman and Robin. Speaking of the Dynamic Duo, they return with the Batmobile. And Adam West gets a headsculpt in a new deluxe playset entitled “To the Batcave, Batman!”

Toy Fair 2015: Mezco One:12 Collective Judge Dredd Lawmaster Fly-By Video

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of what Mezco has done with its One:12 Collective line – and that’s having held just one production figure in hand. I’m psyched to get Judge Dredd when he becomes available later this year, but I’m even more pumped that Mezco is making an in-scale Lawmaster for him to ride down perps.

I went back to the Mezco booth yesterday to shoot a fly-by of the Lawmaster. Enjoy!

Toy Fair 2015 (and Kickstarter Monday!): Four Horsemen Mystic Legions (including Fly-By Video)

The Four Horsemen have a booth at Toy Fair for the first time this year, and with the bulk of the show behind them they were admittedly a little weary. But mention of the Mythic Legions Kickstarter campaign quickly got them animated again.

As we approach the end of the first week of the campaign, they are approaching 2/3rds of their funding target. To put this in perspective, funding for Mythic Legions passed the threshold for their first Kickstarter, for the Gothitropolis Ravens, in the first three days, but the target for this campaign is much higher – $140K versus $65K. They’re pleased with the progress thus far.

Toy Fair 2015: Good Smile Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Statues (including Video Fly-by)

It’s been really fun watching these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles status by James Jean get developed over time. When I first saw the four of them a few shows back, only Leonardo was painted – the rest were still gray in the original casted resin. And each successive time I’ve seen them, another one would show up in full color. Now, with Donatello and Raphael finished, all four turtles are complete… and they look gorgeous!

Toy Fair 2015: DC Collectibles Arrow, the Flash, and Arkham Knight

In addition to their awesome lines for BTAS and DC Comics Icons, DC Collectibles is also continuing to support Warner Bros. TV shows and video games. DCC showed off waves of figures for The Flash, Arrow, and the newest Batman video game, Arkham Knight, which is due out in July this year.

While Constantine was represented in other parts of the showroom, the NBC series has not gotten any love yet. And it may not be forthcoming anytime soon, with NBC not extending the first season beyond the original order of 13 episodes, and the decision for a second season or cancellation still in limbo.
