      the glasses look better than the ones that were pictured on the prototypes, The warped arms or whatever the things on glasses are called sucks tho. I like the new paint app on Cesar, they did some shading on his 'stache, too.

        True, you shouldn't have to but at least it's an easy fix if you want to.

        That being said, I can't help but wonder if the glasses that were sent to you aren't defected in some way.
        Someone on Facebook posted these photos of his Alfred and as you can see, the glasses fit much better.
        I would contact FTC and ask them about it.

          crap, looks like any version of Alfred is going to have a giganto head.

            I think (houseofdracula) has a point, I would contact FTC and ask about it, maybe they will send you
            a new pair, unless the facebook person made there own adjustments, but there's definitely a difference
            in the way they look.

              UPDATE ON THE 2 PHOTOS THAT I POSTED!!!!!

              I spoke to the guy who originally posted those photos to Facebook.
              (His name is Rick Krefft)
              He told me that he did indeed have to use a glue stick to get the glasses to sit on the sides of Alfred's head.


              At least it can be fixed.

                    The glasses are intentionally made of the same soft material as those clear rubber bands so they won't break. They look absolutely fantastic, and any warping is a non-issue because they are meant to be glued in place. My Alfred came with glue already applied at the temples which holds the glasses on perfectly...so I'm not sure what the problem is.

                      Is the head as gigantic as it looks in the pics posted?

                        Not at all...if you notice, the photo is taken from a slightly higher angle looking down on the figure. The head looks bigger from the forced perspective. I think it looks fine in person. The Bruce and Dick from the set are absolutely fantastic also.

                        The entire set was too expensive, but the completist in me is very happy I got these.

                          ^^^ That's what has kept me from getting them. I really like picking up these exclusives, but the grouping price has pushed me out. I wanted to do the same on the Dukes, but over $200 on both these sets is just off the wall for figures that I mostly already have. I think they should have priced those better like they did when they adjusted pricing on the new 12 inch figures.

                            I recommend the Dukes set.

                              Nope. I ain't touching these at the minute. The price of them is just crazy. More so buying them in the UK. Retailer wants almost £50 ($78) inc. shipping each and theres no way I'm paying that. Hoping Toycade get a few sets in the future. At least that way the price will be a bit more realistic.

                                They go on sale once and I'll nab them. I have everything else (both scales).
