My take on the Retro Batman line so far

[Wise4671]

You guys are making me jealous! Kool-Aid, Pop-Tarts, Batman Megos? I'm coming over too! I'll bring Batgirl, my custom Catwoman, and my Dida Batcave! Oh, and the Filmation 70s Batman cartoon!

You keep talking like that and we may just have to pay for your airfare here :-)

I know we're really drifting here, but wouldn't that be a gas? A bunch of grown-ups gathering to really play w/ our Megos, (instead of just talking about how we used to do it), and watching cartoons and loading up on Kool-Aid and Pop-Tarts? Man, that would be FUN!

Actually it would be a blast we may be committed for it but heck that would just mean more play time :-)

I am happy.
Today is my Birthday and I bought myself this gift.

Yes, I've switched Batman & Robin's belts because that's the way that I had them as a kid.

Yes, they are on the stiff side but that's better than being too loose and unable to stand.

The bodies are MUCH, MUCH better than the FTC KISS bodies that I had to replace and that you can see in the background of these photos.
No, they are not exactly like Mego's but far good enough for me.
I give them an A- to B+.

I just ordered mine yesterday. I also ordered a pair of blue shorts from Dr.Mego so my Batman can have that Filmation/Super Friends look. Can't wait for their arrival.

Happy Birthday! It certainly doesn't get any better than that... Enjoy these and your B-Day!

Really great to see even more photos. Gives me hope that my set will be waiting for me when I get home from work.

Well I opened mine and there is a difference in the Robin shoes. Mego was made of soft plastic were FTC is made of hard plastic. I do not like the way Batman utility belt keeps riding up. I do like the fact that the male bodies can stand on there own and not in there old pee pee dance stance. Growing up I never owned a Riddler so I cannot tell you the difference. My Joker is separated from my LOD, I is in his own shelf with the FTC Clowns. Know to get a Harley Quinn and I will be happy.

It's been a LONG time since I've held any of these in my hands but I thought that there was something different about Robin's shoes.

I got mine today, so they have reached the NW.

I really like the resealable clamshell. I cut off the FTC tag and used a wire-cutter to cut off the twist ties. I then used an exacto knife to make a slit between the holes of the twist tie so I could remove it. Now I am able to take a figure in and out with no problem. I really like how I didn't have to cut through the packaging to get the figure out.

Now when is FTC going to offer the new male bodies for sale??
