    Really dislike the shortened sleeves and molded on gloves. I have a feeling this is what is to come with the 66 Catwoman is she ever shows up.

      I don't like the short sleeves either but you're probably (unfortunately) right about the 66 Catwoman.

            Is it just me or are they going to purposely put every figure in a box in a squat/ bent knee position?
            If so, then that means the boxes are too short for the figures, and need to be re-tootled?

            Take a look at the picture from Facebook.....

              It would seem pretty silly, wouldn't it?
              These could just be prototype boxes.
              I hope!
              I mean, to go through all of the detail that they went through to get the box art just right and then to have the boxes be the wrong size,...
              No, I'm going to hope for the best and assume that the boxes pictured are not the final product.

                I have FTC megos displayed in these boxes (I bought repro boxes on eBay). They fit however their faces are slightly obstructed from the window (mostly the female figs) ... I think FTC is bending the knees to fully display the fig faces. Just my guess! ��

                  This is definitely a wait-and-see. I mean, the whole point here is to display the packaging, everyone who wants these figures already has 'em. If the boxes are too short and the figures look silly, then a hard pass, sadly. But if they end up being appropriately sized, they'll sell me 14 figures.

                      I was guessing the same thing: I hope you are right

                        It's interesting FTC has not addressed this issue on the boxes.

                          Why start addressing issues now? Big heads? Wobbly heads? Too tight bodies? They have plenty of unaddressed issues.

                            ^^^ I think its a foregone conclusion, those boxes will be a bust if they turn out that way.

                              I hope " right down to the last detail " means the ladies will have clear headbands too.

                                What they show is usually either the finished product or something close. Things with them usually don't stray too far from the prototypes.
