    you'd think they would to protect the inventory. FLA is murder on pleather and rubbery stuff.

      So, I did a Space:1999 order a few (2?) months ago, because I'm doing some 1999-related customs.

      I ordered this...

      He came without the helmet visor.

      I also ordered this outfit, which I thought might (stress might) have the red jacket that came with the special edition Alan Carter...

      I wondered about it, because it had the same description as this outfit...

      But of course...BIG NOPE. No red jacket, just the tan outfit. Why the Hell would you say it comes with a red jacket, if it doesn't? I don't see a red jacket in the picture, like in the description of the other outfit sale shows the blue jacket (which says comes with one and it actually does come with a jacket....for a penny less!).

      Aaargh!

      I'm only posting this now, because, I'm about to order another astronaut dude, this time I'm going to ask them to make sure it has a visor. Hopefully they'll do so. They just irk me sometimes and I also don't understand how they can write a description that is patently false for some of their products.

        Dana - I think you can order just the helmet. Pretty sure I ordered a few with my last order.

          I bought a "heavy metal guitar for figures", and really feel like I got ripped off. Here's a picture of it next to a Mego guitar. I don't know why this is in the section for 8" figures. It is way too small, and they should be ashamed for misleading customers.

              FTC likes to sell accessories for both their "8" figures and their wrestling figures as if they are compatible for both .but the wrestlers are smaller ,and
              stuff like that can be misleading to us mego guys .they should be specific about that .

                I didn't realize that, good to know. Some of the wrestling accessories, like the broadcaster's station, look nice.

                  It was in the 8" figure accessories section.

                    True, but I need the body and outfit for another Space:1999 custom.

                      That's sucky, Lonnie. That's a shrimpy guitar for the 8 inchers. It's definitely 6 inch wrestler figure scale. They apparently don't care if they're in 8 inch scale or not, they just want to make a buck.

                        I'm still angry about the Space:1999 outfit not coming with a red jacket, when the description said it did. I have to make one now...and they aren't easy to make (I know, because I've made them before, well, black ones, for Commander Koenig...ugh.)
