    Batman Retro Teen Robin... Not a new Headsculpt! Also, Where's Hawkman?

    Just received the "new" Teen Robin figure and although it looks great it doesn't have a new head sculpt like the Newsletter claimed:

    "Robin is back in his tradition costume, with an all new head sculpt, and you can craft his evolution into Nightwing with the fourth and final figure in the series!"

    Furthermore, FTC claimed at the Newsletter:

    "These new Batman Retro Series 6 figures are now available on www.figurestoycompany.com for purchase, along with other new items such as Hawkman’s first FTC figure, the debuting US Presidents line, new figures from Scooby-Doo, Wonder Woman’s nemesis Cheetah, and even Santa & Mrs. Claus to add to the holiday spirit!

    You got to be disconnected from your offerings when you state things like this... What's going on FTC?

    Another Newsletter and no Hawkman picture(s)... And supposedly he was up for order last Friday...

    "These new Batman Retro Series 6 figures are now available on www.figurestoycompany.com for purchase, along with other new items such as Hawkman’s first FTC figure, the debuting US Presidents line, new figures from Scooby-Doo, Wonder Woman’s nemesis Cheetah, and even Santa & Mrs. Claus to add to the holiday spirit!"

          Trust me, you're not even in my top five of Hawkman obsessed people. One guy has been angrily demanding him like clockwork every week.

              Yes, and until you post hi-res pix of the Hawkman head in front, profile, and 3/4 views, those three- a.m. calls every Wednesday will continue.

                Still, based on earlier posts by FTC, this is a disappointment and I was under the impression we were going to get Hawkman this month. Though recently, according to their posts, it was supposed to be the mainstream version. I myself was holding out for the
                Super Friends version along with Giganta. I was really hoping to get them before the year's out since this was the 40th anniversary of Challenge of the Super Friends. Guess I can forget that idea. I also saw a post that Hanna Barbera's Birdman will be out sometime next year. Dare I guess the same for Hawkman? Maybe 2019 will be a year for winged heroes. In the meantime, I'm going to stop waiting on any further announcements about Hawkman and will order him whenever he does come out. At least we know that two versions of him will eventually be coming.

                  Maybe they decided to redesign the wings? I'd much rather see something along the lines of Man-Bat than those hinged cardboard things they showed before.

                    Thank you Joe! If any of my Mego Brothas or Sistas is computer/web proficient and could find such picture and posted here, I'll very much appreciate it!!!

                          Wow, thanks comicmike for posting the pic!

                          However, now that you've posted it, I don't know how I feel about Figures' Hawkman.

                          Head sculpt looks weird to me. What's with the extra feathers below the ears?

                          I can't warm up to those back wings. It would be one thing if the original Super Powers figure had cardboard flippy wings and this was an "homage," but...gee...can't dig those.

                          This is kind of like how I felt when I found out how hotdogs were made... .

                          Hoping that more defined pics of the figure will change my mind.

                          I will definitely buy at least TWO regardless, as I have a very nice bleit Hawkman head and some Doc Mego foam Hawkman wings.

                            Yeah, I have Hawkman misgivings, too. And that particularly stings because I was sorely hoping to use the head sculpt.
