Although I acknowledge the head on the figure was a disappointment after expectations were high, my main gripe with the figure was the odd shade of blue they chose. A shade closer to navy would've been more Adams and Aparo appropriate.Comment

All of the above!
That's why I don't always mind waiting for the big guns. I'd rather see a messed up Red Tornado early and a great Batman later, than what we got in the opposite.
Of course, I'd rather see none of the figures messed up at all.
Yuck.

FTC went to the effort of darkening their standard-release Batman, and the colors of SF Bats were nice. But that powder-blue they want to slap on everything new is not good for Batman or some villains.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

When Adams and Aparo were drawing the character, Bats was nowhere near navy. His blue parts were the same color as Superman's costume. The Kenner Super Powers figures captured the color scheme almost perfectly.Comment

I got Dr Fate today and I'm really pleased. I wasn't that impressed with the pictures initially, especially with the way FTC handled the shoulders and his amulet. But, as with several of FTC's recent figures, I like this one much better in hand. Overall I really prefer the 'simplistic' approach to exaggerated detail, as seen on Boomerang or Poison Ivy. The main point for me is: Does this look like something Mego might have made? And this figure certainly does i feel. Really nice work, FTC. Please keep making them like that!
By the way, I even like their updated Batman much more than I thought possible. After the pics and reviews here I really didn't want him. But then I got him for Christmas and I had to revise my opinion. I would have preferred different colors, and the head IS too big, but apart from that the sculpt is actually one of their best.Comment
