Figures Toy Company (figurestoycompany.com), after having success with KISS action figures (see our stories HERE and HERE), announces that they have secured the license for multiple classic properties to be produced as retro-style 8-inch action figures. These licenses include Batman 1966 Classic TV Series, Retro 8 Inch Batman, Dukes of Hazzard, Evel Knievel, Conan The Barbarian, Tarzan, Dallas TV Series and Gilligan's Island. These figures will have cloth clothing, 16 points of articulation and accessories. Figures Toy Company will also introduce a talking President Barack Obama 7-inch figure.

Batman 1966 Classic TV Series

CFO Anthony Balasco states, “It has been my understanding that the collectors community would enjoy collecting retro 8 inch and 12 inch action figures based on the “Batman 1966 Classic TV Series”. When we saw that the rights were settled between the involved party’s we immediately became interested in acquiring the license”. We are proud to say that the collectors will be able to enjoy a vast selection of characters that have never been available before. Our head sculpts will look life like and the cloth costumes will be highly detailed. Series 1 will include Batman, Robin, The Riddler & The Joker. Future series will include The Penguin, Catwoman, Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Egghead, King Tut, Mr. Freeze, Shame, Bookworm, Mad Hatter, Batman (with removable cowl), Robin (with removable mask), The Joker in prison baseball outfit, The Joker in opera outfit, & The Joker in grey suit.
