This turned out to be a bit harder than I thought as I got near the end because I've enjoyed all of them. So I had to pick according to FTC not only nailing the likeness, but also giving me something I never had before like the Batman '66 figures. Here are mine...thus far.
1) RC Batman - My all time favorite Mego and FTC managed to beat the original (IMO). Perfect cowl made from improved materials; excellent vinyl cape that is pliable to fold and perfectly layer on the shoulders - another improvement; And a fantastic backer card with classic artwork altered to advertise the removable cowl. Just an excellent piece all the way around.
2) Kid Flash - Another personal favorite that they nailed and improved upon. Molded the head in flesh tones instead of yellow like Mego did. This meant the mask got painted instead of the skin. Looks better that way IMO.
3) Batman (West) - What can you say? A dream many of us had as kids come to life with quality and style that we never would have gotten from Mego. Beautiful accuracy from the belt and plug in gloves and boots to the wired/poseable cape.
4) Robin (Ward) - Another dream we had perfectly executed with incredible detail to his outfit. Nice likeness and a great partner standing next to West. He had to follow Batman on my list.
5) Joker (Romero) - Now seriously... Did any of us ever believe we would get a figure of Cesar Romero as the Joker? And to get him so perfectly made that the sculptor even included his mustache? A fantastic piece from top to bottom.
6) Alfred - A nice addition to the legacy of heroes. Glad to see him recognized and in classic comic form.
7) Mego Joker - A perfect replica that never looked better. FTC really gave him all the love he so surely deserved in the Mego rebirth.
8) Riddler (Gorshin) - A great addition to the Mego line up and one Frank himself would have been proud to hold.
9) Mego Riddler - Hey. It's hard to pick one without the other! A perfect replica of the classic Mego. An easy pick here.
10) RM Robin - A great figure with awesome artwork on the backer card. A classic illustration tweaked to show the mask off. The mask itself is fragile but I was happy with my fix for that. Another easy pick for my top ten. What are yours?
