This past week on her official website, actress Yvonne Craig announced that she had reached an agreement with Warner Brothers on the rights to use her likeness for future 1966 Batman merchandise.
Hey Bat Fans!
To all of you who’ve been asking: I’m pleased to announce that I’ve just signed a licensing agreement with Warner Brothers. So expect to see Batgirl toys etc. on the market in the very near future. I look forward to seeing what they make.
Best Bat Wishes!
Yvonne
Ms. Craig has notoriously avoided signing over her likeness has lived many years as a quiet, private person. She was the last major hold out in the 1966 Batman deal. What the WB will do with the newly acquired rights, only time will tell, but fans would love to see Mattel’s TV Batman line expand to include Batgirl and I’m sure no one would mind if NECA and Hot Toys took a crack at her in their larger scales as well.
