    A Little FTC (CTVT) Fun!

    Got in an order for CTVT yesterday and even though my Red Belt was a fail on the DST Retro Daredevil, the rest ended up good. And it made me dig in my ofetn overlooked parts box to find something I previously ordered. and, without further ado...

    Here is my Isis on a China body that was part of my order:

    The female bodies are still too tight and prone to hunch, but you can adjust them and find that sweet spot to keep them in place. I never owned any female Megos, but I gather many kids list Isis' wrist bands because I almost did while working with the figure!

    I took female body number two and finally was able to properly put together my 1st Appearance Batgirl. The original body was ridiculously bad...

    As I was dressing her, I wished I had bought the yellow molded gloves. Then I sort of recalled I did. after some digging, I realized... I did! I think they wok much better than the oven mitts, while retaining the full retro feel that the Jayna gloves would take away (but that would be perfect on the new Batgirl we are getting).

    Finally, I had a megowgsh Aquaman Camo suit stashed from his last Mego Meet sale. So, I ordered a Aquaman head (surprised and how hard the material is) and a set of black and white hands, so I could finally make this (on a Type-S body):

    The whole trio...

    And just the girls...

    Awesome stuff. Love the Aquaman especially, I was quite fond of that mini.

          Isis is a pain to stand up and I think that is why. I didn't even know they had different style of feet, but I did notice that they were a bit rough on the bottom. I am going to have to check some of my other FTC female figures to see how the feet differ from each other. No problems with Batgirl and her boots.

          Thanks!

            I didn't realize there was a difference in the feet either. Does anybody have a picture of the 2 different styles?
