McFarlane Toys pulled the curtain back this week on its DC Multiverse Collector Edition Batman and Robin two-pack, built around the campy, colorful look of the 1966 Adam West Batman TV series. As of August 27, 2026, pre-orders are live and shipping is targeted for September 2026.
This is a Collector Edition release, which means McFarlane is leaning into extras beyond the standard figure format: soft-goods capes, swappable heads, and accessories pulled straight from the show's most memorable props.
Here is what has actually been confirmed so far, and what carded-figure collectors should think about before this one lands.
The set pairs 7-inch scale Batman and Robin figures with six extra hands, an alternate Batman head portrait, two Batarangs, a Bat-radio, and a bust featuring a hidden switch, plus two collectible art cards. McFarlane is marketing the figures with Ultra Articulation for improved posability compared to earlier DC Multiverse waves.
The soft-goods capes and interchangeable parts are meant to recreate specific beats from the 1966 series, down to the Shakespeare-bust gag that longtime fans of the show will recognize immediately.
Pricing has been listed at $49.99 across early retail pre-order pages, with availability confirmed through Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore, and Amazon as of this week. As with most McFarlane Collector Edition releases, expect the price to hold steady rather than fluctuate much before release.
A September 2026 ship window has been confirmed, though McFarlane pre-order windows have shifted by a few weeks in the past, so treat that date as a strong target rather than a guarantee. Collectors watching for exact ship confirmation should keep an eye on retailer order-status emails as the date approaches, since McFarlane has historically notified allocation changes that way rather than through a public announcement.
McFarlane's DC Multiverse line has leaned heavily into modern comic and animated interpretations of Batman in recent waves, so a dedicated 1966 Collector Edition set is a notable pivot back toward the campier, classic television version of the character.
For collectors who have been building out a DC Multiverse shelf, this two-pack is likely to stand out visually next to darker, more modern Batman figures, giving a display some tonal variety.
It also gives McFarlane a low-risk way to test appetite for more 1966-era licensed product beyond this two-pack. If the set sells through quickly, it would not be surprising to see supporting villain figures from the same television series follow in a later wave.
Collector Edition releases from McFarlane typically ship in a full color printed box rather than a blister card, and box style has varied release to release between window designs that show the figures and fully enclosed no-window boxes with printed artwork instead. Box dimensions for two-figure Collector Edition sets have also varied slightly wave to wave.
Because McFarlane box sizes and window styles are not perfectly standardized across different Collector Edition waves, collectors planning ahead for storage should treat any protector purchase as a fit to confirm on arrival rather than something to lock in sight unseen.
For collectors whose Collector Edition box turns out to be a fully enclosed, no-window style, the EVORETRO display case protector for no-window 6-inch figure boxes with hanger is a reasonable starting point. It is worth measuring the Batman and Robin box against it directly once the set ships, since this protector is sized for a no-window box format and McFarlane Collector Edition box dimensions can vary from other 6-inch lines.
Given how quickly Collector Edition McFarlane releases have sold through in past waves, collectors interested in this set should expect pre-order windows to close faster than a standard single-figure release. Retailer allocation has also varied by region on past Collector Edition drops.
It is also worth double-checking whether a specific retailer's listing is a general pre-order or a store-exclusive variant, since McFarlane has occasionally split exclusive accessories or packaging variants across different retail partners on past Collector Edition releases.
Current retailer listings target a September 2026 shipping window.
The two-pack is listed at $49.99 across major pre-order retailers.
The set includes six extra hands, an alternate head, two Batarangs, a Bat-radio, a hidden-switch bust, and two art cards.
It may, but collectors should confirm both the box dimensions and whether their box has a window once the set ships since McFarlane packaging varies by release.
Collector Edition McFarlane releases have a track record of selling through quickly, so lock in a pre-order now and, once the box arrives, check it against the EVORETRO no-window box protector with hanger to keep it shelf-ready if the format matches.
