    Got the new molded gloves and boots in, love them

    Can't figure out how to post pictures but if you have a regular Robin you must get the green gloves. A night and day difference in the look of the figure, makes him look 100% better. The gloves and boots also improve the regular Batman's look greatly.

    Very happy with these, hope FTC starts using them when it makes sense on the new figures.

      Very nice. Now all they have to do is come up with the same option for the females!

        I hope they do, Batgirl would look amazing with longer boots and yellow molded gloves!

          I'm confused? I can't see how the x2 FTC WGH's Robin can wear the new "1966" molded green gloves by popping his hands off, BUT how do WGH's Batman where the boots or Superman if that's what the red boots are for? The player can't fig the pics thing (took me awhile) but I'm on his "Ignore List" (Oh the Shame! The Shame. lol) so he won't see this unless it's reposted I think? But even if you cut off the bottoms of Retro Batman/Superman bodysuits, how does the boot fit? Can you just yank the ankles & foot off? I never tried. Those BOOTs & GLOVES from FTC 66 Bats line LOOK GREAT, but they are a little to rubbery/wobbly for me. If you are putting them back on the card or in doll stands they probably display good though. It just the MEGO repro'd WGSH from FTC look right w/ milk bottle black boots & I'd prefer Mr. Fantastic like molded gloves on new offerings (Bats could be New but keep the retro style). I LOVE the detailed rubber molded boots/gloves for Bats 66,

          *but for FTC's MEGO WGSH repros (and New characters).... I want Mego w/ cartoon/comic simplicity, not television/reality based gear. That's just for me though! I still would like to see pics

              they come with adapters to use them with the FTC bodies, so they will and do work with them. Same ones used on 66 Batman and Robin, and presumably Batgirl and Catwoman down the road. And honestly, after seeing what they can do with the 66 line I would love for the same detail level brought to the DC heroes in some way.

                Yep, I want them to give us a (pretty close) replica of the original DC figures Mego did, then after that update away. I suspect these gloves and boots will make their way to the '70s' Batman and Robin figures that should be out in the next two Batman waves.

                  Man, I definitely agree. Those gloves look super sharp on Robin. Thanks for the pic.

                        BTW once the fist fighters come out you can add these gloves and actually give the fist fighters a FIST, at least on the right hand!

                          I'll take my ReMegos as they were originally made, thank you. (Although I will admit the one fist for the Fist Fighters does sound cool...)

                            Robin looks dynamite! Do you have a pic of Batman?

                              Very nice! Looks better than the oven mitts for sure, although I will always have a place in my heart for the oven mitts! I would like to see FTC do the boots with a flat top instead of the point. Perhaps down the line they will.
