    New Adventures Batman, Joker and Riddler Now Available

    Figures Toy Company has New Adventures Batman, Joker and Riddler available loose bagged. Says in the description of each figure that these won't be released carded. Makes me think this might be all we see from FTC DC Filmation.

    That surprises me and I hope not true about other releases. I want that Penguin.

    Why would they not package them, cards and clams are nominal expenses.

      I would love to have a Filmation Catwoman too. Don't understand why they're not going to release them carded either.

        I'd like the original Filmation Catwoman.

        Isn't Riddler reusing SF Superman's head?

          That Batman looks terrific! I placed my order earlier today.

          I wonder if something has changed in regards to FTC's license for DC characters?

            Yes on the head, its laughable. Also note they are charging the former carded price for baggy figures. FTC is going to price itself out of business.

                I'm already working on custom cardbacks for these...I've so far cleaned up the show logo very nicely.

                  I'd be fine with no packaging if shipping reflected the savings they'll see. Clearly doesn't cost as much to ship a loose figure as a clamshell and that savings should be passed on to customer.

                    Just pure speculation on my part, but does anyone think these not getting a full, official, carded release may be a sign that FTC's relationship with DC is winding down?

                      Or sales aren’t going well for them.

                        I do get the feeling from these being released without packaging that they don't plan to do much more in the Filmation style which is disappointing. They do still have a lot of DC stuff that they have shown that hasn't made it out for the DC licensing to be winding down. That could be the case though.

                          Probably has more to do with reducing the cost of shipping from China. And the Riddler is a repaint of Aquamans head not Sups

                            Just got mine in ,their good,
                            Batman is the best with that filmation look,just as he appeared in the new adventurous of Batman & in Hanna Barbera Scooby Doo even.
                            Riddler is weak cause it's just the super friends Aquaman sculpt.they used the skinny body on joker ,and it should have been a regular body.i still like them all ,nice!!!

                              I saw a picture of Batman on Facebook and the cape was attached to the costume, as opposed to how it looks in the sales picture on the FTC web site.

                              Can anyone here confirm this? Can I swap the capes, if I wanted to?
