CTVT tights: How do they compare to vintage?

Thank you Tothiro.

I think most o f us thought you meant the bodysuits, commonly referred to as tights as well...
Reference the 89 Batman movie where Joker says Batman is home, washing his tights...

Over the summer I purchased three sets of figures from CTVT: Merry Men, Mad Monsters, and Super Knights. I have had no issues with putting the Merry Men and Super Knights outfits on DM bodies, although the Merry Men tights were a little "form fitting" and the chainmail outfits were a bit loose. The CTVT bodies are crap but these outfits are very good.

The Mad Monsters on the other hand...Dracula and Mummy outfits are way too tight and small for DM and Mego bodies. Heck, the Mummy outfit is too tight for the CTVT body. The Frankenstein outfit was a better fit to a DM but a tiny bit tight. The Wolfman outfit was a perfect fit.

And when you say "tights" do you mean the leggings like on Soldier Ape, Cornelius, and the Generals? If so, then, no, CTVT does not have buttons on the tights for the Merry Men.

I have actually been doing the same with the CTVT reissues, Switching them all to DM bodies . I haven't Done the Knights or pirates yet. I am a little nervous because of the armor being glued together. Any suggestions ? As Far as the Outfits I have had no problem with them fitting on DM or Vintage Mego Bodies.

Use an exacto knife to slice the armor open. If you plan on swapping out the bodies there is no other way to do it. You can then either re-glue it or just snap the armor back onto the knights, which is what I did. If you happen to break the armor you can always buy more from CTTV for a couple of bucks.

to glue the armor back together, find some of the gluey paste that you glue it on with the brush.
pirates is easy.
