My 02 cents on this:
I am saddened and yet anxious on this news. While I have and always supported Dave and Jason,
Selling everything to FTC I feel is a bad mistake due to FTCs now ( infamously legendarily) bad customer service.
I’m glad I bought as many of the Hero heads as I could before Jason and Kacie stopped selling them,
(And yes the neck adapter was theirs not FTCs, and works just fine with a bit of glue to hold the head in place.
Even works to adapt heads onto old Type 2 bodies if you go upside down with it)
And now I wished I bought more of the Type S before a Dave closed the 8inchsuperstore.
Seriously, unless FTC sells the type S on Amazon, or completely moves over to Amazon to sell there stuff,
I’m VERY RELUCTANT to buy product from them due to their terrible customer service.
Hopefully whatever Dave and Jason got out of this deal means they are creating something incredibly better
And we can give them direct monetary support again.Customizing 1:9: My Videoblog journey of Customizing!

I am not thrilled about it either, despite teemu stating that they will use the same factory, I am sure FTC will find a way to cheapen it up or something. And will they now justify a price hike with a body upgrade on new figures? sorry, 30 is a bit nuts now, anything higher may drive people away faster.
My only hope that as far as FTC is that the new Mego Super Heroes blow away FTC's releases which should then put the stake in their Heart once and for all.
People ALWAYS vote with their wallet....if FTC doesn't offer lower cost options ( they raised the price of loose figures from $20 to $27), then given a couple
of years Mego should overtake FTC easily....and then no more FTC nightmare customer service stories for sure....Customizing 1:9: My Videoblog journey of Customizing!

I received two Type S bodies from FTC today. They seem to be great, especially compared to what was available in terms of 8" bodies before. The neck plugs on both, however, were rattling around inside both of the bodies (I don't know if this is standard, but it is annoying as heck). It's just a matter of opening up the bodies and taking them out, though, which is good. Great job FTC. I am very impressed."I thought they didn't allow no bathin' suits in here."Comment

of late, I've been buying new Mego Richies, Fonzies, and AJs and just using the Hero Heads without the adapter, which makes the heads simply pop onto the new Mego Neck Stem, easy.Customizing 1:9: My Videoblog journey of Customizing!
