    I get the frustration but the Newsletter isn't just about the new releases from FTC.
    To me, it offers much more.
    Please don't stop.

    That being said, I like these figures AND I'll buy these figures but it doesn't make sense to me that they are going to release THIS SET 2016_FTC_BTV_SURF_Group.2.jpg before they release THIS SET 10301179_902557673164720_4286102776107086422_n.jpg.
    Shouldn't they release the regular Barbara Gorden & Chief O'Hara before they release variant versions of the figures?

      I really enjoy the newsletter!
      In my timezone I always get the mail in the afternoon (today it was at 1:30 pm),
      when I am still at work but preparing for the weekend .

      It's always great to get the mail and see what's new.
      And even if the FTC news has been spoiled, there's so much other stuff
      that I might have missed during the week.

      Keep up the good work.

          Positive note* Keep the newsletter going for our own personal info and enjoyment for future releases.

          Negative note* Webbed hands Aquaman nice idea, but why flesh color and not green? if made in green only (1)
          version would have been enough.

            Appreciate knowing it's read. Just venting because on weeks where people post spoilers ad nauseum readership declines sharply, which is crappy. I've said my peace.

            As for FTC comments, I don't work there and don't have piles of insight. I do like working with them however, they're good people.

                I get what you are saying, but at the end of the day I'll be getting both sets so to me it doesn't matter which one comes out first.

                  hoping the delay is due to some revisions on Batgirl.

                    FTC has great products and im happy to see them cranking out more exciting lines but this last year has been a doozy! It seems like tons of product from various companies and only a handful of folks working on designing,sculpting and creating these works. Its no wonder why some stuff will take longer than mentioned. The KISS figures are my most anxious and awaited figures but I need to just be more patient. I think the clues are fine but can understand if the other folks get restless. Im unhappy about the delays but as an artist myself, I understand the work it takes. I hope 2016 is a magical blast

                          I also very much enjoy the Newsletter. I sometimes get stuck in the ReMego section of the forum, and the newsletter reminds me that there is so much more!

                          As for the scoops... if FTC loads the stuff at the end of the day... Thursday?... ever think about changing the newsletter release to Thursday instead of Friday, even for a afternoon/evening release?

                            I like the newsletter, too and loved when the FTC announcements were included in the newsletter every Friday starting last February! Don't know why FTC has started posting the reveals on its site late Thursday, I thought FTC made a deal with Mego museum to let you share the news 1st. Maybe the newsletter on Thursday morning like TRDouble said! Highlight of my week!

                              Love the newsletter too, and the early release of information prior to the newsletter formally announcing it doesn't affect my enjoyment of it in the least. It's way more than just a single reveal anyway. It's like a mini-magazine.

                                Palitoy, I've posted "scoops" before the newsletter a couple of times through the past year too, so please accept my apology. I want you to know I greatly appreciate all you do, especially the newsletter, and I'm sorry if I've contributed to frustration about scoops.
