    8" retro batman figures coming soon?

    I found this on toynewsi.com

    Figures Toy Company presents the first series in their new line of "World's Greatest Heroes!" featuring classic Batman characters! Each new 8-inch action figure is an exact replica of its original '70s counterpart, right down to the cloth clothing and retro-styling. With 16 points of articulation, you can pose them in any heroic position! Choose from: Batman, Robin, The Joker, or The Riddler. Each figure comes in a reusable plastic protective case with full-color backing card.

        If this is true....I repeat, IF! Then I will be all over it like red beans on white rice.

        I just hope that there are no issues with squishy, oversized heads, and crummily made accessories.

        Hopefully, we will get Batgirl out of it eventually.

        Just for giggles, I will be picking up a Riddler figure.

                  they obviously used real megos in their pictures. I'll wait and see what theirs really look like. A little got lost in the translation (in size, too) during their earlier attempts.

                  Here's hoping for the best.

                    After my initial disbelief, I'm sitting here thinking that Dr. Mego should be making these! WTH?
                    He deserves the opportunity! He kept Megos alive all these years!

                      But the suits are loose just like if they were on original CTVT bodies.

                      The joints on Robin's knees look to me like CTVT.

                        I'm a little skeptical about this because its not on Figures Inc. website.
                        I think its a wait and see, but it would be interesting to see what it leads to if it is true.

                        I agree that Doc really should be the one getting to do this.

                            Joker's hair is a brighter green too and Joket's jacket a bright blue.

                              With this company there will be still quality issues :(

                              Edit: it would be fantastic for parts though
