    First thing I thought, too.

    Didn't they "borrow" some other CAW parts already?

    Edit: EMCE's pics didn't load at first. FTC's is apparently Atom repaints. I've felt they have a real gold mine in variations, GA minus goatee, different colors, etc...

    Easiest one has to be white-out eyes.

      These will be good for Captain America, US-Agent, Bullseye, and tons of others. I could also see these being very popular if FTC takes a little time to put together a nice "Build your own Hero" customizing kit. They have everything you need, it's just a matter of putting together a good mix of parts in an attractive package that shows the possibilities to the average customer. It would be a great starter kit for those unfamiliar with customizing to try out.

        Exactly. Thanks Steve. The Castaway head is really entirely different. More pronounced forehead, entirely different ears and eyes, and even the head itself much longer from top of the head to chin. It's not like it's a new idea either. Put wings and a big "A" on it and he's Cap. Sheesh. Can't wait for the Atom!! I think I might try and customize him into the Destructor as well from Atlas Comics.

          I could tell it was not the same heads, just that they looked similar.

                  I like that Reverse Flash head!!! As a matter of fact, I like the Mr. Blue and Mr. Yellow too!

                    My fave is still the Cast-A-Way head, but these are pretty neat nonetheless!

                      Dark Green head would be perfect for Spy Smasher.

                        3 fantastic supermen would be great never seen a custom of them.

                          It's hard for me to believe, that my last week of custom superheroes ideas has been "T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents".
                          Yellow head for Lightning.

                            These are a nice suprise from FTC, they could be used for above names mentioned, or generic heroes and villans, Batman can never have enough villans to battle,
                            Superman or Spiderman either for that matter.

                              These are great. I see a lot of golden/silver age comic characters coming to life now.
