    CTVT had complete figures for $5 for a long time. If you missed the boat - sorry about your luck. They are not mego quality bodies but for display, parts and accessories are worth everyy penny.

    I see they have gone up in price. Such is supply and demand. If they don't sell at that price, they will come back down.

    I didn't realize until now they are offeing EIGHT INCH Kiss! Wow.

    I LOVE CTVT!!!!!!

    They have reproduced many great figures, suplied us with MANY reproduction pieces and all at a dirt cheap price. Doc's (I love you but...) accessories are 5 times as much as CTVTs.

    and if you are just looking for bodies - by original Mego. parts and lots are CHEAP! with basic skills you can assemble dirt cheap bodies.

    Why are there still haters out there?

    Doc pioneered repros, offers quality stuff, worked to license big names. CTV offers inexpensive stuff and offered cheap to license stuff.

    Before both you had a gloveless batman and green arrow without a bow.

    If you want to continue to get gifts - stop be otchin about CTVT

    I have painted the boots red and they are much improved.

    Fortunately I have been able to purchase a few Zica bodies- they are AWESOME!!
    I think you mean translucent, not opaque.

    I too have bought CTVT figures and used the bodies and clothing,
    but $6.00? Come on!
    All the previous bodies have been disassembled over time and I've used the knee pins on Megos, and also the feet.
    The rest of the pieces are in my storage bin.
    I wouldn't spend $6 unless they have improved the quality,
    but still Doc's are $5 so I'm going with his bodies!

    I bought the reproductions of the knights and king Arthur and they were soo poorly made I decided to never buy from them again. Have they improved at all after the knight repros were made?

    I've noticed all of the figure lines have gone up in price. Either they are selling out on inventory or trying to make up funds for other reasons.

    Perhaps a little of both. They just purchased the KISS licensing so perhaps they are trying to make back some of their cash.

    Maybe those KISS pre-orders aren't as plentiful as they had hoped. The one thing about KISS is it's brand name has saturated the market for years. Maybe general interest is down as a result? I have to believe if the money was coming in, they wouldn't have to adjust prices on existing inventory.
    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

  8. This may just be wishful thinking but MAYBE they have finally upgraded to better bodies and have to charge more.

    That would be nice on the better body upgrade. I still do not think that they could compete with Doc Mego on the price and quality though.

    I think that there are a lot of potential customers that are still a bit squeamish and are holding off on their purchase to see if the body is indeed better.

    As for myself I wish they would hurry up and start shipping them already. I am a bit anxious to get my hands on them as if you could not tell.

    Even if the body is crap I would still welcome the heads, costumes, accessories and put them on a real body as in a Doc Mego body that is.
