I like them too.
I actually like them much better than the "Destroyer" series that was shown last week but I'm also going to post my honest opinions.
I realize that the "Dynasty" costumes are very intricate and reproducing them on such a small scale is difficult enough but here are the things that popped out at me.
I hope they give Peter his black gloves as well as giving Ace the thick silver trim around his arm bands and wrist bands.
We don't really get a good look at Peter's costume in the photo of the figures but I'm hoping for the best.
I wish that the V shape chest piece that Ace is wearing was made of plastic or rubber like Gene's amour rather than thin materiel.
This would also work well with the FTC Ace Frehley "Destroyer" figure.

I LOVE the fact that they gave Paul his cape.
It was never used live and only used in a handful of photo seasons but it was important to include as every member of the band had a cape for the "Dynasty" era.
I hope that they add the neck chokers (collars) to Paul, Peter & Ace. Gene did NOT wear one for this tour.

Interesting choice with Gene's cape.
He did indeed use this cape but also used a solid red cape which FTC could have gone with to take the easy way out but they didn't so, a big thumbs up to FTC.

These definitely outshine the Destroyer figures. Interesting they are putting them out virtually at the same time. Almost makes Destroyer an easy pass. Glad they chose the iconic album cover expression for Gene. That was the right thinking from where I stand.Comment

I like these more and more every time I look at the photos. I'm not a big fan of the Dynasty era look, but the costumes seem reasonably accurate, so they're good. I already got my favorite era of costumes, the first album, so I'm not complaining!!
It's interesting to notice how changes in the makeup (the green around Peter's eyes, the blue over Ace's eyes) completely change the look of the sculpt. I'm hoping an updated Love Gun era set is coming. The original Mego look is classic, but I really like the one piece boots and armbands, etc of the modern versions.Last edited by CrimsonGhost; Apr 30, '16, 2:26 PM.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

In fact, I don't feel too weird saying that this Gene is the best Gene figure ever released... ever... because of this "Dynasty scowl" the sculpt has going on.."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment
