I think from the beginning, we all knew this was an inevitable variant...
...but a sound chip that plays the music and some Adam West soundbytes makes this an absolute must-have. Multiple must-haves, even.
As part of a renewed push to merchandise the 1966 TV series, there will also be a new line of digital comics from DC featuring the Adam West Batman characters and continuity, which leaves me to wonder who the first writer will be that attempts to retcon the three different Catwoman actresses, or the two different Riddlers. It's too bad Alan Moore's all mad at DC, because I'd love to see him get crazy in that universe and have it be all Burt Ward's deathbed delusion or something.
After the jump, a first-look at the Cesar Romero Joker toy...

@RKOLemonJack ´66 Batman fan? Search Amazon\/Ebay for BAT BAD GIRLS book, HOT photo-anthology with sexiest villainesses from TV show. POW!
Take that thing into the backyard, throw it into a fire pit, and poke the embers to make sure they burn completely.
That being said, I WANT that Cesar Romero.
@PhillyCyberGeek BAT BAD GIRLS\/ HOT book about sexiest villainesses from Batman TV show is now available on Amazon\/eBay. Tons of photos!!!
love how they captured cezar takes as the joker in plastic including if one looks real hard see they did keep his moustash . and that batman with sound chip in battusie pose is surely tempting to pick it up . mostly to hear the music and pose him dancing that thing espically if mattel does get around and does king tut later.
@HollisDorian Epic! And last year, I could just walk up to the mattel booth no problem. I picked up that sweet Death fig and Tiny Titans.
@bohemboy Seriously? I'd have figured they'd be swamped. Yeah if you can get one I'll send you the dough. SWEET.

Alan Moore writing Egghead gives me a weird nerd boner. It's like a regular weird boner but it's packing batarangs and makes puns.

As friggin' awesome as this is, what I want even more is a version of this that comes with an additional King Tut figure & playset.
@arivalscientist and sadly that is the one piece of batman tv show that will still not happen due to fox and warners still stuck in a mound of red tape of clearance rights for the show to finly take its place on dvd and blue unless they annouce a surprise reveal at comic con. the show sadly remains forever off dvd and blue ray.
@DadDigsFood oh, good lord. lol. mattel usually has some that you can order from the club. I'm not going this year or else I'd get you one.
@DrStrange1974 You're not going to comic con? Wow.. almost feels like you're doing something sacrilegious!
"Cesar Romero Joker toy..." = bonus! Who wouldn't want a Battousai Batman.....oh wait, read that wrong...want it anyway!
@DrDSM @ToplessRobot Where's Cesar Romero's mustache? netflixroulette.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/07\/1440-x…M4c
@m_pattison @DrDSM It's there if you look closely - the lighting on that image makes it look more like a shadow

I was pleased when my 10.5 year old loved the old Batman episodes when we introduced her to them this year. Less pleased we had to find the episodes in Youtube feeds. Sup with that?

@dnjscott Rights split between two companies, not every actor's estate signed off on merchandising still. But they air them on The Hub sometimes.

I really, really hope they overproduce these. Because Mattel Comic-Con exclusives can be the biggest pain in the ass to get anyway, and this is one I know I'd like to buy multiples of as gifts. It's gonna be tough to snag, but thankfully this year I get to set my own Comic-Con timetable.
