      I made the mistake of ordering Sivana and GWS set on the same invoice....

        Looks much much better IMO. Really captures that vintage bubble card look. I'd have loved to have seen these released on bubble cards. I'm very tempted to remove the trays from mine now after seeing yours, but theres that part of me saying just leave them the way they came. Really does look great though.

        Yes, thanks very much. Really looking forward to these. Without doubt my favourite FTC line. Any chance of a RM Robin 'exclusive'?????

          On removing the trays: You can easily pop the tray with figure out of the side of the card without even removing the seal tag at the top. Just run a finger down the seams on the side. It easily opens. I even do that on all of mine to adjust them and make them look better on the cards.

            ^^ Yes, Ive done exactly that on a number of my FTC figures to straighten them out. I don't think I'll remove the trays permanently though. They do look better IMO, but I like to keep things the way they were intended.

            Now about that Kresge, RM Robin....

              noticed they are price gouging on Sivana, he's 29.99 while the rest are 26.99

                Something I'd noticed myself, except for in the UK. They're all 26.99 (pounds that is).

                    I have to say, the Kresge's are my favorite to date, Green Arrow looks phenomenal in this packaging

                      Good to know. I just did the small screwdriver method, so still have the tie intact and reusable. Plus they included an extra one with my order. So if at any time I choose to return it back to normal, it will be easy peasy. I don't really see myself doing so though. Looks so cool hanging on my wall, it will probably be up there forever.

                        Does anyone know if the recently unveiled Harley, Mary Marvel and/or Scarecrow will be different on the Kresge cards from what will eventually be released on the Batman or Shazam cards?

                          I really like that Green Arrow, but I'm holding back. I expect him to either show up in the Super Friends line with their packaging plus I'd really love to see him show up in his own wave with Arsenal, Black Canary and Count Vertigo.

                            Nothing like 8 variants of Green Arrow! :/

                              I'm OK with variants, but I'd prefer that they all look a little different and not be just package variants.

                              I did get the Justice League variant because I liked how his costume turned out.

                              But we still don't have a hoodie GA yet! I'm hoping that is how they do him for his own wave.

                              GA would also be an easy one for a First Appearance figure.

                                I think an entire silver age JLA wave with head sculpts based on Sekowsky art would be cool. I'd also love to see a Red Tornado.
