Batman is a pretty fashionable crimefighter, and if you’re looking to celebrate his grooviest era, you can now make space for a cowl straight out of the 1966 TV series that starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader. McFarlane Toys has announced a new Batman 1:1-scale collectible cowl as part of its DC Direct line, and this one is affordably priced at $100 ahead of its release next year on February 20, 2025.

While the cowl looks strikingly similar to the one worn by Adam West in the 1966 Batman TV series, there are some key differences, the most notable one being the choice of material used. In the ’66 Batman TV series, West wore a cowl fashioned from satin materials on top of a fiberglass shell, whereas this replica is made of rubber. Nevertheless, it looks just like the original and maintains the unique details of that mask, like the painted eyebrows, broad ears, and a black face shell. There’s even a texture on the cowl to make it look more like the screen-used material, and it comes with a display stand so that you can proudly show it off in your secret lair.

At just $100, this is a pretty good price for a display piece, as the MattyCollector version released several years back goes for hundreds of dollars on the reseller market. Preorders are available at Amazon and Entertainment Earth.

If you’d prefer a grittier cowl, McFarlane Toys also makes one based on the one worn by Michael Keaton in the 1989 Batman movie. Like that mask, this one is almost completely black, has much longer ears, and the Batman emblem is part of its design.

If you’re looking to add a few classic Batmen to your collection, McFarlane Toys also makes several retro-themed action figures based on the classic 1966 TV series. You can pick up Batman, his trusty sidekick Robin, and faithful butler Alfred Pennyworth. You can round out the collection with a few of Batman’s nefarious villains like the Joker, Penguin, and more.
