    18" repro figures...

    ...really suck. The body is a remake of the 12" body, not the 8" one. It has very fragile wrists that break easily.The knees are weak can't support the weight. The waist is too smooth and they won't stand up straight. It was great in theory, but failed in execution. It should have been the eight inch style body that they used to enlarge, and it really needed something to help it's waist stay in position. I wanted to make a custom from one of the bodies, but the bodies sucks. Bummer!

      Totally glad I never bought into that line.

        Never took mine out of the box. Now I'm glad I didn't.

          In the box, they are sweet. Opened, it's all regret.

            ^That's pretty damning for a toy, IMO. I appreciate your honesty. If FTC had done Aquaman or Capt. Marvel in this format, I'd have jumped. And evidently been disappointed. So those $$ are better-spent on 8" offerings.
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              I had not heard any hard reviews on the bodies until now. Thanks for sharing that information.

                Too bad about this, I was really interested in 18 inch Superman, but the price was to high, was still thinking
                of giving in, but now it's a pass for me.

                  The only one I bought was the 18" removable mask Robin. He has never been out of his box so wasn't aware of the issues.

                    If they were better, I'd have them all. I got two of the removable mask Robin figures. My mistake. I was hoping they would make a Shazam, so I could have a giant Peter Parker!

                      Got any pics you can show? I plan on keeping my Batman in the box, but I always enjoy seeing loose pics.
