    Has FTC begun selling new figures on Type-S body yet?

    As the title says - I am curious.
    I see they are no longer sold out of the Scooby Doo villains.

    Curious if anyone has received a new figure that comes on a Type-S by default now.

    I doubt it will happen without a price increase.

        I need to pick up a Type S body for my Black Adam figure. I was attempting to transplant a Black Adam head from a Mattel Retro Action figure to a regular FTC body and it just didn't look right. I used a leftover neck plug from a Type S body I bight before, but it doesn't seem to want to work properly without the type S body to go with it. Unfortunately funds are tight right now because of this stupid COVID-19 crap.

          did they ever make an announcement that they'd start using the body, or did we (I) just assume too much?

            no they did say they would be using it and the Yvonne body down the road, probably have a lot of old style ones in the pipe already tho.

                Carded the body quality doesn't mean much. And I bet at least half of the figures they sell never leave the card. Why they would take the cost of using a more expensive body for complete figures while they still have a mountain of earlier bodies wouldnt make sense. Still they did stop using the india bodies for new releases so it could happen at some point.

                  they stated that it would happen down the road. Probably just as they run out of old rubber band figures. I can see them using it to justify a price hike too.

                    I called the other day and they told me that they didn’t have a definite date for when the figures would become available.

                      type s is 9.99 on the site and the current 8 inch china made body is 7 so expect a price hike when they do.

                        So basically Joe... you’re saying there may be a price increase?

                          the bad thing is the female bodies have a harder time fitting the outfits and footwear so something would have to be done about that.
