Walmart is kind of deceptive in that way. FTC is actually selling and shipping those from their warehouse. You can type in the Diamond Select figure sets and find some of those too, but Walmart isn't selling them. Toywiz is the seller. In most cases those are individual sellers actually providing the service. Think of Walmart as a kind of online classified section.

It's one more way they are trying to compete with Amazon. They get you in their online storefront but they don't actually sell the items.

But still, anyone doing a search for a specific DC action figure will see them and be able to order them. I wonder if they can pay using a Walmart gift card. That would definitely open things up.

If you can only get them from there online website, why bother?

just go straight to the FTC website, if you get something defective/broken you get another item of the same or refund, plus you can call them direct.

The point I was making is exposure. People outside of the normal FTC circles will be exposed to these figures. Additional exposure can only help the company expand.

And then those people will get a sticky booted, two neckholed, crooked emblem mess of a figure for 30 bucks and stop going to that well. FTC needs to get the quality right first before they seek more sales and exposure. They are capable, but some of the stuff I've seen lately really makes me wonder if they even care about quality.

Toywiz? That's an arm of the Shamus/Wizard empire, right?

No surprise here...I posted this about a year and a half ago when I ordered my Spiderman set.
