    OMG, how disappointing is that? I know nobody can control what happens in shipping, but I sure hope she wasn't packaged that way! Do you open your figures? Or at least open them long enough to fix them up so they look dignified in the clamshells?

    I'm still on the fence about getting this one. She's cute, but I have so many others I'd rather have first.

      Honestly, looking at the way the one sandal is in the package, it MAY have come off during shipping but the hair? She was basically just thrown in the package from what I can tell with no attention paid to getting her hair to lie flat. I will be opening her to fix her up and then seal the clam again.

        Yeah,like more 3 stooges figures that nobody wants...but when you can make figures in-house for 29.99, why not?

            Added Superman with Kryptonite chain.

            That's really just annoying to those of us that got the first one. I'm sure that chain will show up on CTVT at some point, but really?

            I'm sure Clark Kent will be coming soon now.

              I just got back from vacation and noticed that. I'm glad I didn't buy Superman yet, but yeah, that kind of sucks for those that did buy early. I guess early buyers at least got the Mego-style card though, for those that collect them.

                  I pretty much love anything Superman, but I have to admit this is a bit on the cheesy side, especially the red boots, it's like FTC is running out of ideas for new figures, so they rush something out just to get something done. Do they not read these forums? there's been so many good ideas, but obviously we're not the ones getting the final say on what's released and what's not, and I understand about the whole licensing issues, but I know FTC can do better, they proved it with the 66 Batman line and some other releases.

                    Here's the first look at Dr. Fate, Firestorm, and Red Tornado:

                      Saw that, Dr fate and Red Tornado look ok, not great but ok. Their suits look baggy and the heads look a little sloppy. Firestorm is disappointing, not sure why they chose the material for his torso, but it needs a waist and probably would of looked better with the standard material. The head is sub-par.

                        Wow, I feel the opposite. I think Firestorm looks really neat, especially the head sculpt! I think he's probably the coolest (hottest, haha?) of the 3! If I was to get any of them, it would be him! I also think Dr. Fate looks good. He reminds me a bit of the classic Dr. Fate. I think Red Tornado is the least exciting, and does he have a red body or a flesh body? But I think the issues with the clothing looking baggy/sloppy comes down to whoever is styling these figures for the photos. Like obviously they could have fixed the bunching fabric before they took pictures. Otherwise, I think FTC did a really good job with all of them!

                          I like these and can't wait to order them. The heads look good to me(suits a little baggy )
                          and Dr Fate looks really nice and Mego-like. It's o.k that some don't like them because that's more for collector's like me that orders multiples. Hawkman was supposed to be with them in this wave

                            I think Firestorm just needs a white belt to pull in the waist. Otherwise they look pretty good!

                              If Fate looks as good in hand as that pic...could be the first complete fig they've made which looks authentic.

                                I still say there are a lot of customizes here that do a better job. I could sculpt heads better than FTC's heads and a lot of other people could too. They look rushed. The suits design wise look ok, but why can't they get the sizing right yet? With as many figures as they have made, you'd think they would be able to get that kind of thing down by now.
