    Curious about this myself. Probably make for a good Giant Man scale as well as Galactus scale if they are any good.

      They sell the bodies but not much clothes and no heads? I saw them on Classic TV Toys but never saw any heads at all listed. Where would you buy a head?

        I hadn't wondered about that--It's just a body and Superman boots that I need.

              I think the body doesn't stand well and the wrists pins are way too small.

                Is the problem with standing due to the stringing?

                  No the body is fine just like a 12" Mego I can't say if the 12" female body is any good though...

                    ^^
                    I bought one of those "12" female body for daisy duke ,actully its quite good ,although like the "8" figure its a bit
                    to tight ,and it tends to want to go to either side ,it doesnt have the stubles around the waist ,so its easier to set it
                    right ,the quality is very good ,i have no problem if they use it for Giganta or "12" supergals .i just hope they dont use that
                    skinny anorexic thing that daisy came with -Awful .i Think FTC knows that,which is why they havent used it again .

                      I know this is an old topic, but they still sell 18" bodies. I was just offered DST's Ultimate Quarter Scale Kirk and Spock for $60 shipped (since they were opened and the person didn't think they'll be making any more Star Trek crew). DST's 18" figures look scrawny, like there's no food on the Enterprise!

                      How are FTC's 18" bodies? Do they scale well with other 18" (or 1/4 scale) figures like NECA, DST, etc.?

                      I know I probably won't get another opportunity to get these DST figures for $30 a piece, that's why I'm looking into other 18" figure bodies that may scale well with DST.
                      Yes, I do plan to make a Dr. McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura (maybe a slight problem), in the future, if time permits it!

                      If anyone has a picture of a DST Ultimate Quarter Scale (even if it's from Terminator or Star Wars) next to an FTC 18" figure, I would greatly appreciate it!
