My take on the Retro Batman line so far

Heres his pics of Batman and Robin adjusted for better viewing.

Thanks for the fix I tried but for some reason photobucket didn't turn them right when I linked the pics

Tightness is, for some reason, a standard issue with FTC/CTVT going all the way back to Munsters and the other Mego repros.

I was hoping the factory change from India to China would solve that, but it must be about the materials available. No "shattering in package" would be an improvement.

The culprit used to be the black bands and hooks inside. Either the hooks grappled too tightly or the bands were auto strength rubber and had no pliability.

Then again, if they ever get new figures made, I'd be more apt to swap them all.

So, the gloves are thinner/softer that usual CTVT but still smooth? Just curious.

My first impression is: pretty spiffy. I like the slight color variations, & Joker's coat seems to be constructed properly.

Cant really tell you on the gloves as I have never got the repro gloves and don't have any to compare. but they do seem pretty close to the originals.

As far as Joker I have to say everything about him is pretty spot on :-)

My recent Biff Bang Pow! figures are all pretty stiff too. I'd rather have stiff than floppy.

LMAO. And I agree stiff can be worked out floppy well it will just get floppier

I've never bought any figs from figures. What type of bands do they use to hold the bodies together?
