Tiina, I'm amazed that you're amazed that FTC criticisms would be posted in a thread created as an FTC criticism.
This is a 1/9 forum, and I collect and enjoy that format--so I'll read or post whatever I want, wherever I want here. The mods can decide if I'm amiss.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I do buy them, and I do care one way or another. But of course I understand that everyone "cares" differently. I just don't enjoy being chided for expressing concerns or making criticisms.
I think being unhappy about a price point in relation to a track record might be justified. But buying what makes you happy--that's the best solution.Last edited by PNGwynne; Jul 22, '21, 6:47 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

The molds used to be co-owned by a couple of parties, and were able to be used by either. When the Yvonne body sold, the new owner was able to get the type-s bodies made without owning the copyright. I think I was second in line to purchase the Yvonne molds.Comment

I lost respect for them as a company after they released their latest Wonder Woman line. A lot of people had high hopes for them when it looked like they were going to release 8” scale figures of the old 12" Mego doll line--including Nubia. Granted, their promo pictures weren't the prettiest, but the actual product they sent out was even worse with the darker skin tone, and baggy, loose-fitting costume. I can't believe they sent those figures out looking like that, and took people's hard earned cash. Are you telling me not one person working there didn't think anything was wrong with them? Obviously, they knew something was wrong because they cancelled Nubia-- but not until people purchased the other 4 figures in the line.Comment

Those WW figures are already getting parted out so they must have went over like a lead balloon. They were poor in design and execution. Why that was even brought to market is beyond me.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I’m amazed that people come on this thread and say things like I don’t buy FTC or I haven’t bought any in 2 years….
Why even read FTC threads then? Go back to your Tootie dolls.
Mego figures get plenty of criticism from folks who won't buy them, and also folks who actively orders whole cases of them. The fact that the discussion here is kept civil by the moderators is a great thing, but there's still going to be dissenting opinions of everything.

Another reason is, people buy whole cases and turn them around to make a profit on ebay.
It’s been said before, FTC is a hit or miss with there products, but the prices keep creeping up along with shipping on top.
But what the heck, if you want it bad enough then buy it, if it’s not a must have then pass on it.Comment
