I was out and about this week and ran into a couple of members of Mattel’s boys retail team and we got onto the topic of Yvonne Craig signing her likeness rights deal with Warner Brothers.  While they did not tell me any specifics they did tell me that the Classic TV 66 Batman stuff was selling very well for them and they were confused why so many collectors thought the line was ending after Catwoman ships in a few weeks.

They said that their announcement of the first wave of figures was only “That’s all we have to announce at this time for 2013.”   They were very careful in how they chose their words when they put out that answer.

What does that mean for 2014?    Maybe we will hear more this week at NYCC, or maybe we have to wait until Toy Fair in February to hear about any additional figures.  Time will tell.

They asked me if I could help clear up the confusion that they did NOT announce the end of the line.   So there you have it…
