The Farrow making FTC Kiss announcement on the Electric Ballroom show

[Grimjohn]

Most excited about Super Friends! My all time favorite DC cartoon! Wonder Twins! Hope Gleek is included with Zan or Jayna!

Gleek would have to come with Jayna, Zan gets a bucket of water as his accessory!

That's great news! I'm a big fan of the Destroyer and Dynasty outfits.

Absolutely! I am surprised that they chose Dressed To Kill, Alive and their latest versions before these... Dynasty and Destroyer are really different and really cool.

I'm just glad the line lasted long enough to get to them. Heck, I even like the Elder outfits.

Okay, I know that I'm a Huge KISS Geek but I'm going to use that Geekdom to show how cool these KISS figures could be.

The Great thing about both the DESTROYER and the DYNASTY costumes is that there is room for variant figures.

With Destroyer, you have the regular set of costumes.

However, Peter Criss had both a long sleeve and a sleeveless version of his costume.
Paul Stanley had the long sleeved version of his costume but also changed to a sleeveless version when KISS went over to Japan in 1977.

If they really wanted to, they could even do the "Spirit of 76" version where Peter Criss had the Bloody Bandage wrapped around his head.

With Dynasty, you (again) have the regular set of costumes.

The capes should be removable since Paul Stanley and Peter Criss didn't always use them.
Especially while performing live in concert.

Once these get made, there will be only two eras left...TWO... The Elder and Creatures. If we're this close, you almost have to recognize them even if they're just short runs.

PART 2

While Gene Simmons & Ace Frehley's costumes didn't change too much, Paul Stanley had an entirely different costume when KISS went over to Australia in 1980.
Also, Peter Criss had left the band and was replaced by Eric Carr for that tour.

Gene's original (prototype) version of his DYNASTY costume was made with Rhinestones.

The thing about the Dynasty costumes is that each member had his own color incorporated into the costume.
Gene -Red, Paul - Purple, Ace - Blue, Peter - Green and Eric - Orange.

So, there are many variant figures that could be made with these.

What about a secret identity series, lol. I remember the photos of Simmons with the scarf over his face when he was dating Cher.

What about a secret identity series, lol. I remember the photos of Simmons with the scarf over his face when he was daring Cher.

GREAT Idea!

Such great news.
FTC's quality control seems to be much better so I'm pretty hopeful about these series. While the previous series were nice, I just wasn't inspired to pick 'em up (except the repro Love Gun series, which I totally treasure). Dynasty and Destroyer are what I've been holding out for. House of Dracula: nice job of laying out some cool options! That 76 shot with the red background was on my bedroom wall from childhood until my college years. Love that stuff!

Maybe they will do an Eric Carr figure for a variant in the Dynasty series... Their costumes changed very little from Dynasty through Unmasked and having a Eric Carr figure would be cool! Either way... these have some serious awesome potential!

If I can get Dynasty/Unmasked and Elder outfits, I will be over the moon...
