Late last night, actress Yvonne Craig announced she’s made a deal to allow her likeness to be used on future Batman ’66 products.
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
While no specific product was mentioned, its hoped that this new development will lead to an extension of Mattel’s recent Batman Classic 1966 TV line. Until now, it appeared the line was finished at wave three, but this news is a potential game changer. Would Mattel really pass up the chance to produce one of the cult show’s most iconic characters? Fans have been demanding Batgirl ever since the line was announced — her inclusion could easily carry another wave of figures, and open the door for other fan-demanded characters like Egghead, King Tut, and Mister Freeze. The ball bat is in your court, Matty!
