    The Blue Falcon has landed!

    Blue Falcon arrived today...

    I really like this one: the head sculpt is on-model and in scale, the suit fits nicely, and the body feels fairly sturdy. I especially like the "heels" of his talon boots--this was a nice surprise. I'm looking forward to displaying him alongside Space Ghost.

        I'm surprised by the boots, they're a nice upgrade from the prototype. I like this figure.

          FTC did awesome with this one. Dynomutt is great too (more articulation than expected)

            The head sculpt doesn't look as cylindrical in person, and the style of the sculpt fits with the animated look. All in all, this is a very solid release from FTC.

                In your second pic it sure does.

                  They look great! Hopefully we will see some Wonder Woman pictures soon so I can place my order.

                  Thanks, Krypt0nite!

                  ...and Teemu!

                    You should put Dynomutt on an S-type, too!

                      They do much better with the HB characters for figures. I'm guessing it's due to the streamline uniformity Toth and Takamoto brought to the designs, where DC has massive variations to choose from.

                          Besides the boots, did you make any other changes to Space Ghost?

                          That's the team-up I always wanted too!

                            I put Space Ghost on a Twilight Zone body and switched his boots with Punisher. The suit fits the TZ body a lot better than the FTC body.

                              My complaint with Space Ghost was the head--If I could find a good replacement, I'd buy one tout de suite.
