    NEW FTC Resin Heads---WOW!!



    Looks like a New Alfred, and is that supposed to be Power Girl, Ocean Master and TheEradicator?
    and the Hawkman looks nice...

    So, that was SF Hawkman?

    Maybe I can dremel out the bottom of the face & neck and wedge another half-head up into it.

    Ocean Master is decent.

      These "I didn't call him Hawkman or Booster Gold" sorts of products are fine for hobbyists (heck, I get a big kick out of giving my custom heads their own goofy knockoff names)... but it seems like a dangerous game to play for a current or former DC license holder.

      Some of them do look nice, though.

        It's all a bit confusing--are they not completing Super-Friends or other DC characters? Some of these heads were announced as Three Stooges entries.

        Why the change or delay in figure introduction? Admittedly, that tooling investment in the horrific Wonder Woman wave must have hurt.

          I was surprised to see Three Stooges heads amongst them.

              These like nice, but are disappointing because it makes me think we will never see them used on actual figures from FTC.

                Feels like either they're losing the license or these figures were canceled for whatever reason. But unpainted resin heads is pretty odd.

                  They have been using generic names for items when they part stuff out for a long time, so its not new to the resin heads.

                    That smiling bald man makes me think of Jackie Coogan as Incle Fester.

                      The one with sunglasses is or was that supposed to be Plastic Man?

                        I think that's an abortive Booster Gold.

                          I think it's better to salvage such things than work going to complete waste. I find the renames amusing, China can't have all the fun with unlicensed faces. I got a spare Velma head from them under a different name, planned to build my own but found her complete when trying out a new toy store.
                          I believe in psychics, but I also believe in charlatans and mental illness.

                            Seeing Black Lightning there really stings---I was so looking forward to this one.

                              Fair point. I guess it just feels different since there is no official figure that is being parted out.
