    CTVT have freshened up their site

    Just got the notification in my email inbox, thought I'd share... Look's a little cleaner but not much else is noticeably different

    Wonder if that's a sign that they are going to do something new?

      my money's on that they are following all of the resurgence of 8 inch toys and repositioning themselves for this new audience.

            What new heads?

            Just found the Camera and water bottles.

            LOVE these guys.

            But not for bodies. ( Unless Theyre fat or children)

              They told me they're "making a comeback" this year. I replied "You go girl."

                I got the email too!
                I haven't seen anything new though,
                except for what has been mentioned here already.
                I like the new bodysuits, shorts, and capes.
                I didn't see any new heads.
                I hope they are making a comeback, better than before, in the quality.

                    It is mind blowing how cheap they can sell mego repro items. I love Doc for the repros he had before I could get them elsewhere but for the past several years CTVT has been my number one resource. And fast cheap shipping to boot.

                    - not to slight Paul at all since he offers high quality, great variety, and pioneered repros as well as LICENSED complete repro figures.

                        I have noticed something about their bodies. I think the first couple of renditions will always be pretty useless, but some of the later ones seem to have cured themselves sitting in my body box over the years. I was looking for some hands recently, and noticed that a lot of the 'pee pee pose' bodies had straightened-up, especially the later ones. I'd say if you get the later 1999, glow, or Happy Days males they're ok for cheap civilian characters that are just going to stand on the shelf. I think the rubber bands are loosening just enough.

                          Yeah, it looks nice, and it looks like there are some new clothes. And I love that they are so cheap!

                            I've placed a couple of order from them recently and have been very happy with the results. I still avoid the bodies, but everything else is great.

                              Paul, I agree. I did the same thing.
                              Ordered a kid body and as soon as I moved the right arm, a part of the forearm that is attached to elbow pin came off, like brittle wax.
                              But I do plan on ordering more kid's bodies for custom fodder.
