The scarlet witch bishoujo is much better imo. I think I should buy one before long.

Someone noted they hoped to god the Joker has the Cesar Romero mustache under his make-up. I agree wholeheartedly.•• Wouldn't that be like making a Mr. Spock figure with removable ear points? Either we play into the fantasy, or we don't. And if we don't, why bother?
I always thought the evident Romero mustache on the Joker was a nice twisted touch, as if even if this TV Joker was actually scarred by a chemical accident (something I didn't know when I was a kid first watching the show), his mustache suffered the same fate and is a mark of vanity amid that grotesque greasy mask of madness.

I like the Scarlet Witch bishoujo statue a lot too. That and the Eaglemoss statue are probably my favorites of Wanda.

Are those Batman TV show figures going to be from Hot Toys? If so, I'd
think the mustache likely, only because they tend to be really literal with
their likenesses, down to moles, wrinkles, and age spots.

I never noticed Cesar Romero's mustache as a kid. I imagine that had something to do with the older TV broadcast standards. That and I wasn't looking for it, just enjoying the Joker.
I like that Hulk statue also. The Tardis would be fun too. I've thought of building a small shed that looks like the Tardis from the outside. That would be a cool tool shed.

Like Brad, I never noticed the mustache until much later. Probably after reading about it on this forum I would guess.

I used to fake sick Sunday mornings so I could skip church and watch the old Batman show on the local station. I was young enough I thought they were playing it straight but I still managed to notice the mustache.
Either we play into the fantasy, or we don't. And if we don't, why bother?
They're based on the TV show. Romero had a grease covered mustache. Would you give the Adam West Batman nice abs?
