    It looks to me that the figures were bent so you could clearly see them for the photos. If they're straight, some of the heads will have a shadowed look in the pics.

      Compare them... something is definitely wrong.

        The boxes are to short, you would not display a figure inside in that position if the boxes were the correct size
        the comparison pics prove this.

        The FTC figures are displayed like that so you can see the full face. Hopefully this is corrected or a nice idea
        will be a wash and most people will buy the figure loose and get there own custom window boxes.

        It looks like someone misread the box making instructions and made the boxes 8 inches length for an
        8 inch figure instead of 9 inches. JMO

          Here are two more comparrisons, one making the two boxes the same size and one where I tried to make the figures look the same size.

            Sorry guys. The boxes are too small. Got RC Batman and Supergirl in today. No one was looking forward to these more than me. Really disappointing.

              Dang that's lousy, I was thinking about grabbing Superman, Aquaman and Arrow myself depending,
              now I'll pass for sure, still can get them loose but it defeats the purpose since I wanted them boxed.

              How were the bodies?

                Not sure why this is so hard to get right, seems like everything there is just a bit off, but they just ship it anyway.

                  Batman's body was fine. Supergirl's was not. I already have all these figures in different packaging but I was really wanting to get them all boxed. I won't order any more of these. Hopefully down the road they will reissue these again in correct size boxes.

                    Wow. So sorry to hear that. Can you show us some pics of them standing straight in the box so we can see how off the windows are on these?

                      This to me looks like there is room in the new box to straighten GA's legs. There is def room at the top...at least 1" or more But it looks like if you do the top of the figure's head may be cut off by the window. But it def looks like you could stand the figure up straight.

                        ^^^ Where that pic compare confuses me is if you take the natural progression of his boots to the bottom of the new box, his feet would not touch the bottom in that shot. So is something impeding his feet from getting there like the insert being turned around in error or is the figure's head literally going to be obstructed from the top if he stands straight up? We definitely need some actually pics to determine what is happening here.

                          Look at their recent pix of the Aquaman. Legs look alot straighter and still plenty of room.

                            Wow, these photos are truly baffling.

                              what's baffling to me is we already have a person that has them in hand and stated that they are too short and there are still people trying to make an excuse or explain away how they are ok.

                                I don't think anyone is making excuses for them. If their heads are cut off standing straight up, it's an epic fail. I just want to see a picture that is not doctored like all of the FTC photos. That's all. Not sure why this is a irrational request.
