Let’s face it FTC deserves a medal for the hero market, period.
That being said- their bodies are complete trash. I must have 3 unopened broken, and God forbid one take a dive from a 4 ft shelf onto carpet...
Pricepoint. The way they deal with retailers just keeps them out of stores, where they belong!
I don’t mind the initial price, but the variants are just too damn expensive.
I love that Mego is back. But until they get a 8” Hero line FTC is still going to get most my business going fwd now that the thrill of seeing Mego in the stores is gone.
Hell FTC had big head problems, but the Diamond line.... well it got better. And we got a couple of cool figuresComment

To me, the best way to make Diana Prince is the Kelly Garret from 2018 NuMego, clothes swapped with 2018 Sabrina Duncan.
Brush hair back & make a ponytail with a mini clear rubber hair band (a pack of 200 from Five Below is like $3).
A Pair of the HP Oval glasses FTC, and done.Comment

I posted this on Facebook and it got deleted within minutes of posting. I just wanted to know if other people had any pleather problems from Classic TV Toys or FTC, but I guess it was forbidden in the FB group.
I was thinking of having a MEGO Planet of the Apes collection and bought a few without clothes off of eBay. To make it “show accurate” I bought two shirts from Classic TV Toys with the purple sleeves.
Now the problem didn’t happen when I put the clothing on, but it occurred two days later when the weather became 77 degrees Fahrenheit and the black pleather started to deteriorate! What a cheap material! I wonder if the real MEGO ape shirts ever had this problem? I wonder if Dr. Mego’s version is better in material? Any thoughts?

^^ Well known and documented issue with CTVT product. Lots of threads can be found here sharing intel and advice.
Folks have confirmed their stock in stored without proper climate control in Florida, where heat, humidity, and acidic air eat everything. Those of us that bought early haven't had the problem but the quality of the vinyl, while looking nice, is terrible.

I believe your post was taken down on FB because it was posted in Mego Ambassadors. That’s Mego’s page and the costumes are from FTC or CTVT.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

Yeah, it's right there in the Ambassadors rules, they want to keep it strictly to their product, which is pretty reasonable. There are other groups where you can discuss both.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions
