    Been out of the loop.....

    Hey guys! I've been out of the scene since the beginning of 2015. Long story as to why, suffice to say, last year was a very rough one in every possible way. Anyhow, I have a few questions that have come up since i got back into the swing of things a little more.

    First, i remember there being a Comissioner Gordon bagged figure from FTC. Was this figure ever slated for a proper release in a set ,or just a one and done deal?

    Secondly, as it pertains to FTC/CTVT bodies, are the hands easily swappable and do the bodies work with DST hands? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the Marvel sets, and just wondered if I could use the FTC bodies with DST hands to put those extra outfits\heads to good use.

    Finally, I've been looking at several of Neca's retro figures. I know they are advertised as 8" scale figures,.but they somehow look bigger than Mego or FTC ReMego figures to me. At least in the packaging. It sure seems like a Col Taylor or Soldier Ape would look to be larger than their predecessors from the vintage line. It could just be my eyes playing tricks with me though. At any rate ,I'd love to pose the FTC Batman duking it out with a Neca Jason, or Neca Ash having it out with CTVTs Skelton Knights......i just want to make sure Neca retro figs do not tower over the FTC/Mego figures. Thanks to anyone who can help, and its great to be back!

    Just 1 man's opinion... Do not use the CTVT/FTC bodies for anything... If you are going to use Bodies for the Marvel sets use The Bodies from DOC Mego or The Type S body from the 8inchsuperstore.com

      Gordon came out as a clear bagged early bird or a bagged exclusive. I passed as I had ordered Superman that way and the release came out less than a month later. That Gordon is sold out and listed up to 100.00 on eBay. The same figure, but with a green trench coat instead of brown is supposed to be part of the next batman wave, but has not been announced yet.

        I have a Neca crimson Ghost and it fits in perfectly with the Batman '66 figures I have.

            Yeah, we have all been waiting a while for Batman wave 4. I think they must have been afraid of Batman Fatigue since they were rolling out a LOT of Batman figures at the time.

            I'd love to see this wave come out sometime soon though.
