My FTC order arrived yesterday! More on Robin and the Wonder Twins in a separate thread, but I finally bit the bullet and ordered a bagged Superboy, which I wanted and it helped me get free shipping. And after opening him... even before, because it looked like there was no care in bagging him... I want to complain about this figure, but when I knew almost exactly what I was getting because the FTC site's pictures were very truthful and spot on, it's hard to legitimately complain about it.
And generally speaking, it's really not awful. The belt placement on the costume is awful, but fix that and it's not a bad costume. But that just happens to be glaring bad.... just like the pictures showed on the website. Hard to complain after purchase.
The think that bugs me the most, even more so than the light black dot on his face that I can't get off, is that he is a bobble head. That is driving me crazy!
Is anyone else's Superboy a bobble head too?
The head sculpt is actually better than I expected. But sadly, here really isn't another body to put him on, unless the new male skinny body works, but he might still be a bobble head.
Superman Series 3 was a tough, tough series. Good idea, but the execution really had to be good to get sales beyond the hardcore collector, and that just wasn't the case.
Now onto the more pleasurable purchases of this order!
