Non-Batman Adam West 12″ Figure Revealed From Go Hero
 |
Unbelievably, this is indeed a toy based on a comic by Bluewater, the folks who brought you the four-color adventures of Honey Boo Boo, One Direction and Paula Deen. They also have a title that isn’t absolutely terrible called The Mis-Adventures of Adam West, and the fictional mayor of Quahog has granted them his youthful likeness…for toys as well, it seems.
While my mother-in-law will undoubtedly be overjoyed at the fact that the Adam she remembers is being immortalized in plastic, is this a case of too little too late? Shouldn’t they have moved on this before the 1966 Batman TV rights were settled?
Tune in second quarter of 2015 to find out. Same Top-Bot time, same Top-Bot channel.
