Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

[Your pal, Jim]

Already ordered! :lol: I've been hoping for a year (or whatever it is) for them to parse this figure out.

And y'know, I get wanting FTC to get their act together (some of the missteps are truly puzzling), but I also really appreciate all that we're getting. Four (FOUR!) short years ago, all I had were memories and now I have all the figures I had as a kid and way, way more. WooooO!

[Brown Bear]

Well said Jim.

Another great read on my Friday morning.

[supes]

I look forward to this newsletter every week . Sometimes if I wake up at 4am on Friday I excitedly checknto see if has been posted yet. I know it hasn't, but I have to check. So thank you for all the hard work! The FTC news is not always items I'm interested in, but I appreciate it and what they are doing. It's not easy coming up with something new every week. Sure there is room for improvement on some of the figures, but thank you to FTC. Oh and I love that Wonder Girl has her lasso!!!
Thanks again !

Appreciated gents, wasn't actually fishing for praise. I just came to a realization that a good portion of folks read the FTC news, comment as negatively as possible and move on.

We always hoped more discussion would come from the newsletter and I guess that's the part that is a little disappointing.

I enjoy the newsletter, because even though I come here every day, I often miss threads and things that are going on. The FTC news...well...I'm not as excited by their product as some. That's okay, though. It's just one part of the newsletter, and there is always plenty of fun and informative stuff to see. You guys do good work.

I know you're not fishing for praise, but I really do look forward to Friday mornings. The newsletter is the first thing I look for when I wake up.

Nice job on the news letter. But who is the Bald Ted Cassidy looking Alien a custom of?

[jacoblb]

I figured the Wonder Girl doll would be packaged individually at some point. I have one I got with the TT van. While I like the figure (and awesome van) I chose the TT van over the other ones, because I wanted the (then) exclusive figure, I would make folks aware they could wind up with a figure like I did. My WG figure has loose knees so the figure needs a stand to stay upright and just to convey how loose if I pick the figure up and hold with her back toward the ground gravity already took effect and the floppy legs swiveled toward the floor, pointing down. Who knows if all of them were made this way.
But I love seeing all the customs, some I'd seen on Facebook, but some of the others I did not. There's always something that's a surprise for me each week, if not the FTC reveal, then something else.

You answered your own question.

A bald alien played by Ted Cassidy on Star Trek named Ruk:

[EMCE Hammer]

Rachel made a custom of Ted Cassidy as Ruk. The entire newsletter could be garbage and still be redeemed by that figure alone.

[WannabeMego]

You answered your own question.

Does anyone else see Tony Robbins in that Face?

[TrekStar]

I'm curious to know what head was used for the Ruk custom? looks great.
I've been wanting to do a Ruk custom for a long time.

As far as Wonder Girl, It's not bad and definitely worth getting if your collecting the Titans, but I do
agree with an early post that the price tag is a bit high, and it goes up $5.00 after the convention.

I think it's a Thor? I planned to make a figure of Cassidy from another series and always planned on using Thor as the base.

I keep looking at the Kull head and thinking Cassidy, or Jim Shooter
