    These have arrived in Thrillwaukee!

    Fresh outta the shipping box:




    And opened, with a few tucks (and a swap out for Batgirl's belt:




    Overall, I'm very happy. The paint on Dr. Fate's ears seems kinda sloppy (like a repaint) and the choice for Batgirl's boots remain disappointing. Worst of all, Red Tornado's face has some ill-advised attempts at shading that didn't show up in the pic. But hey - a Doctor Fate Mego. What a time to be alive!

      I got mine today including batgirl(which wasn't a needed figure as I have the grey version but what the heck) I got the fist fighter ones because I wanted the SP cards and I am pretty pleased with these.the heads are the right size and don't bobblehead.I just wish FTC would forego the soft.afraid they will rip boots,belts and gloves and go back to the old mego like ones.

        Those are a freaking fantastic group of figures. They look great. Maybe the flame on Firestorm' head it a little short but he still looks great.

            Son of a... the Fist Fighter version of Red Tornado does not appear to have the crappy shading my non-Fist Fighter figure has!

              I got mine yesterday. Besides Red Tornado and Batgirl needing some serious readjustments from their packaged states, these came out really good. Yes, Batgirl has the same issues as the last new Batgirl, but that was expected. Firestorm does look a little odd with the shorter than I remember fire top, but the suit has been tightened up, as with most FTC production pieces.

              I will try to open them this weekend for a better look. Not sure how many Type-S bodies I have lying around, and I hate trying to move the hero boots and gloves to them, but depending on what's in the parts box, I may give it a shot.

                Interesting! I will have to watch these tonight.

                Any other differences that you noticed between Fist Fight and non-Fist Fighter?

                  Out of the package their costumes were easy to adjust for a better fit.

                  I switched their left hands and prefer Dr. Fate to have two open hands.

                        I think I might have to get FATE. He turned out great. FTC figs look pretty darn good when they aren't sportin' HUGE noggins.

                          Are Fate's epaulettes made of pleather and tacked in place? Good grief, they reproduced Green Arrow but can't figure out sleeve treatments on Firestorm and Fate.

                          The heads on this wave look much better, though.

                            Can someone describe/post the head difference between FF and regular Reddy?

                            (The glove switch is a superb idea, BTW.)

                                Very good point. They might have looked at Iron Man as well for the shoulders. I was actually quite shocked when I saw a close-up of Fate in a YouTube review. His epaulettes and amulet look like very sloppy custom work. It's a shame because Fate was the figure I wanted most in this wave. Firestorm on the other hand turned out better than the promo pics promised. The really good news about this wave is that all the heads are in scale and I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting them all.
