    Very nice touch up job on Catwoman, came out beautiful. I also love your display of the 66 Batman collection
    amazing to say the least, curious if you have Bruce, Dick and Barbara Gordon (aka) alter egos, just not pictured?

      Great collection RCBMego, love the RC Batman and RM Robin too, and is that the Minstrel behind Catwoman? and it also looks like that's the Siren peaking over the Jokers shoulder?

      I also like the Trek set up below, course I'm bias when it comes to Trek just wondering who that is behind Khan?
      kind of looks like the Keeper or as I sometimes call it Baloks puppet, wearing a different outfit?

        Thank you, yes those are customs of the Minstel and Siren, my wife made the outfits as she enjoys sewing projects, I would never have been able to complete them. I was also able to add customs of False Face and Commission Gordon using Figures Toy Company’s FF mask and a modified Pa Kent head with standard FTC suits, I really like Teemu’s customs of these figures, that is excellent work.
        Yes, for Star Trek that is an original Keeper dressed to appear as Balok’s puppet, as IMO he looks closer to him, and I also added a custom Talosian Keeper figure.

          And thus you transferred her at the forearms to retain the Gloves?
          I just picked up an Excelsior Catwoman off of ebay ( to totally redo using a Dyed RAH Cheetah outfit, and body) and will eventually Pick up and Eartha Kitt to do a similar transfer....
          ( although in Eartha's case I may just B&P the hands only)
          Looking at the Excelsior Catwoman, that seems to be the only way to retain the gloves is to swap at the Forearm.

          Yep, everything was the same like Batgirl (Forearm glove transfer).I had to paint the neck on the cheetah body though because of the off color of the skin to the head sculpt.It was just a little harder this time around though and the Belt needed to be cut and re-attached.

          Thank you very much! But No,I stayed away from the Variants and alter-ego's.If I did get them,I'd have to transfer them to new bodies.Maybe one day though (having room is also and issue). I plan on getting some of the goons that are coming soon. possibly up to 8 of them to fill the very back row

            Catwoman (newmar) is really nice!
            I like it better in person & I thought I’d pose her without the mask but in hand I like the mask on her after all.

            Well done, FTC.

              I did away with the crappy sculpted arms. I need to take pictures of Babs to show how much better the figure can be.

                  no they aren't, neither are the shortened sleeves. They ride up when bent and just look really cheap.

                    LOL It's not that bad,my pictures prove otherwise....I'd like to see what you did since you claim it's "better" and knitpicking something that's not that big of a deal (still waiting on that false face too) and no, the sleeves don't ride up when bending the elbows.

                      Finally just got my False Face parts, its tough deciding which look to go for, so I just did a generic Face in a suit. Really thinking about taking in the catsuit, too, its too baggy. To me it is a big deal and a poor design choice, they should have at least gone with full molded gloves like Batman and Robin have.

                            I will be picking up a Newmar and painting the claws/possibly adjusting the belt as said previously.
                            but what is with their prices????? $30 before shipping??? and she STILL has a huge head????
                            a quick inflation calculation shows a $2.99 item in 1974 comes out to just under $16 today... is it just me or is $30 a lot of money for something that we have accepted as imperfect at best???

                              30 bucks for a big headed messed up hair crap body figure. I did it to complete my 66 collection.
