    At this point, we will at last have a pajama-less Wonder Woman.

    I'll make my peace with it as long as the head isn't ginormous! Or I'll just use the outfit and repaint the eyes on a black haired Sue Storm head.

      So I got Wave 2 in today. Overall, aside from some not-so-neatly applied paints on Aquaman and Black Vulcan, there were some other issues, none of which are deal breakers.
      -The left glove/hand on Aquaman, Eldorado AND Black Vulcan was bouncing around in the bottom of the clams. I put them all back on and 2 fell right back off so I put them on AGAIN, with a small dab of poster tac.
      -Black Vulcan's head isn't the smoothest of sculpts but it will do in a pinch.
      -Aquaman's costume isn't the best fit. The legs are sewn a bit short so it won't pull all the way up to his crotch. He looks like he has a diaper full of seaweed.
      -The costumes on Eldorado and BV are really sharp. Nicely done FTC!
      -Eldorado's head is several shades lighter than his body.

      The main player I was concerned about them getting right was WW and I would have to give her about a 6 out of 10.
      -Her costume, IMHO, turned out great. Fits well and really nice design.
      -The boots are a little off looking to me but they seem to work on this figure. I'm thinking the toes should have been pointier.
      -Her head is my sore spot. Surprisingly, it IS NOT too big! At least I don't think so. Not like bobble-head big. However, she just looks mad as hell and although the paints aren't too bad, the shape of her head is just BIZZARE! I recommend NOT lifting her hair in the back. No one needs to see this. But, because I'm such a sharing kind of guy, I thought I'd share some pics anyway. Enjoy!

        WW looks pretty cool. I'm fairly impressed given the early promotional shots left me wanting. I'm very curious to see Aquaman. That is the one I want most in this series.

          Finally got WW. The body was crap. Chest section actually fell apart while I was trying to pose her. Updated her body using a Cheetah body.

          So, here is the WW Collection so far.

            How hard is it to swap the head of a FTC figure onto a Mattel female body? I have a Janine body, which could be tighter in the hips, but it's still usable.

              you'll need to thicken the Mattel head Peg to get the FTC head on...I use plumber's tape.works great!

                Mattel WW is the best of the bunch in my opinion

                  I didn't want to start a new thread, and I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else.

                  It looks like Wendy and Marvin are coming...

                    Thanks for the find!

                    I'm pleased they're coming, but they seem a little off-model to me, especially considering the depiction on the card art.

                          Can't wait to add Wendy and Marvin to the collection, but sorta disappointed it isn't in a 3-pack with Wonder Dog.

                            Wendy and Marvin look really good.

                              I like ordering from Toycade as well. Everything I've gotten from them has been perfect so far.

                                Wonder Dog needs to be included just like Bandit needs to be included with the Johnny Quest figures...if not,that is FTC cheapening out AGAIN!
