McFarlane Movie '66 Italian Movie Poster & Robot Batman


I've followed this line of McFarlane action figures for a while now, only recently dipping my toes into it, and really find them appealing. Of particular interest to me were the strange variants of Batman, including this Italian movie poster-inspired, red Batman and Robot Batman. Eleven years ago, I read issue #14 of Batman '66 that featured a giant Robot Batman much like this figure, and the Movie Poster Batman merely appealed to my love of foreign, off-model color variants of superhero figures.


Black and red make a great color combo for Batman, and this figure is no exception. Sure, it's merely a repaint, but an exciting one! He can't really get his arm all the way through the Bat-Sheild straps, so he has to has to hold it with his only gripping hand. Still, it can be held and it's a fun accessory you can use with your other '66 Batman figures.



Robot Batman is such a fun, retro-licious figure, I had to have him. He struggles to hold his jets, but the two prongs can be clipped onto the figure's claws. His articulation is only slightly more limited than the regular figures, most pronounced in the hips.



Below, Movie Poster Batman with my Funko Gold Batmobile, which also has an off-model colored version of '66 Batman- something about color variants really appeals to the collector in me...


I have a few Mech Batmen in my collection, including a couple of these really fun Imaginext Exo-Suit Batman toys that has lights, sounds, and a missile launcher...

While we're here, Space Batman Vs. Colossus Rex ...!



And finally, all three of my 6" McFarlane '66 Batman figures- I'm mad for these and kinda wished I'd started collecting these earlier in the series, but ya can't collect everything. I'm just happy to have these unique versions of Batman from the series- they're fun and a little wacky, just like the beloved TV series. Recommended!

More Later- Make It FUN!
