Funko has existed since 1998 (wow) but didn't really get big into the game until 2005 when they signed a TON of licensing deals with other companies like Marvel, DC Comics and Lucasfilm, to name a few! Funko is most well known for their bobble-headed POP figures, but they have increasingly made lines of nostalgia toys for some iconic movies and films.
A wave of figures was released for the 1966 Batman tv show starring Adam West (R.I.P.) as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. This included Batgirl, Batman, Robin, King Tut, Bookworm, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze and the Batmobile! I haven't watched a ton of the 1966 Batman tv show, but I have seen enough to know it was campy, funny, ridiculous and fantastic all at the same time.
This figure and other Funkos are certainly not designed for their wide range of articulation or playability. They more serve as a static collector's pieces to be remembered fondly.
That said, the head has surprising articulation, and his little batradar is a neatly made and painted accessory that fits fairly well in his hand. This is not a typical figure to my collection, as it was a gift, but a welcome addition nonetheless!
