What was revealed at SDCC? I know they are putting Adam West Batman into the 7" line, did they announce anything else for the regular 66 line?

Found images from the McF booth - Variant Joker with mask and backpack, Batman with a red costume, Batgirl in grey (looks like the Mego WGSH colors to me), and a Wonder Woman. Not sure where the Joker and Batman looks are from - Joker maybe from the film?

Can't say I am too inspired, I kind of get it, a re-paint wave getting classic-ish Joker and Batgirl back out there (especially if her cycle is coming), plus Wonder Woman to go with Superman. 

I think I am most surprised no civilian Bruce and Dick yet, given the Library playset, the already unmasked heads around, and probably not a lot of new tooling to make a "sweater" type torso.

Still no green-suited Riddler.

Strange they are doing Batgirl in grey again since they already had that with the Platinum variant from the New Adventures of Batman wave

After losing my first EQL, my 2nd one was a success for B&W Alfred!

Has anyone had their pre-order from bbts ship? Since the most recent wave has been out other places for the last few weeks, I expected to get an order processing email from bbts for the figures I pre-ordered by now. Maybe bbts is just late getting them?

BBTS has seemingly been late getting a lot of McFarlane stuff recently. I've had many pre-orders that I've had to cancel because I found the figures at brick and mortar retail before BBTS got them. Since they're usually a $1 or so cheaper at retail and then not having to pay for shipping (even the flat rate $4 with PoL), I usually grab something if I see it in the wild, but not always. I didn't do that with Mr. Freeze or Astonishing Wolvie recently and just waited for the pre-order. They often will ship Marvel Legends stuff before most other places do, though.

Wondering if anyone with the Mattel 66 Batmobile can help me out.  Do Todd's 66 Batman and Robin fit in the Mattel Batmobile OK?

@yojoebro82 Yes, the Mattel Batmobile is actually a bit larger than the Todd version - maybe 2 inches longer and a bit wider. I think the Todd 66 figures actually scale better with the Mattel release and the Todd release is undersized.

Only downside to the Mattel is that it tends to exacerbate how small the McF Batcave is scaled if you use it with the playset.

Thanks.  I have the 66 Mattel Batmobile but the Mattel batman and Robin are sculpted like string beans, I thought it might be time to replace them.  I wanted to be sure Todd's versions of those figures fit in the Mattel Batmobile though because I'm not switching to Todd's smaller one.

Batgirl's cycle looks great to me. Clock King looks very good - I don't recall that we knew he was coming? 

Probably don't need the rest...keep the new villains coming though!

Will definitely get Clock King and the Batgirl Cycle, possibly Wonder Woman (as I loved the Batman '66 meets Wonder Woman '77 crossover comic) 

Movie Joker is nice but would still want a Lee Meriwether Catwoman to complete the Catwoman trinity

Really dont get the Batgirl one though - it looks like its based on B:TAS but... why?

Clock King is a nice surprise! The only other villain I really want at this point is Mad Hatter. Although, I will buy any show villains they make. Having action figures of older, average-bodied men in silly costumes on my shelves makes me happy. Hopefully, the line keeps going strong. It looks like most of this wave already sold out on bbts, which I assume indicates overall sales are good.
