    ^^ Of course we all know there's a long-standing lack of ethnic options in toy history that FTC/CTVT are only a small part of, but I'm not a fan of their taking of existing anglo/white sculpts and putting brown paint on them either. They do however collectively produce a notable amount of product; it's reasonable to propose they can do better with gender and ethnicity with just a small effort.

      yeah five bucks more than the regular body is a little out of whack. They just continue to try and price themselves right out of business.

        FTC could do many, many things better with just a small effort or a bit more care.

        I honestly don't care about price, if it's well-made or well-designed, it's worth it to me.

                  This part is so true. It is a serious challenge to customizing diverse characters. Sadly, FTC's offerings are the best options we have. I know it is driven by economics... but apparently more people glow-in-the-dark than are Asian or Hispanic.

                      You'll get no flippery disagreement from me!… just trying to be diplomatic in my disappointment before placing an order. I'll remain hopeful until the clear plastic shatters upon my brute handling!

                        ohh don't curse it like that. I have been scratching my head for a while how to do Sue Storm and am hoping this does the trick

                          Well, I guess the Yvonne head tends to lend itself better to blackface than the male blackface AA heads.

                          The Full masked white head would make for a nice and easy Hector Ayala White Tiger custom.

                            Just got the clear female body. Looks great but ankles are very weak compared to solid. Hard to stand up figure. Maybe shoes might help or LaserMego can do some Micronaut type feet.

                              I should be getting a clear body tomorrow, and I was planning to make some Micronaut shoes and bracelets for her.
