I think this shows why some members here are frustrated & see you as dismissive. Although you stated early-on that you were a purist, you have often made allowances for changes you like or can tolerate, while at the same time downplaying other's concerns as obsessing over minutiae.
Supergirl is a good example of this, because as an example of FTC's mission to 1. produce "exact"--even exacting--high-quality Mego reproductions, and 2. to accurately depict DC characters, she does not succeed.
That said, she can still be a fun toy, or desired as a collectible--just not defensible as a business model. I for one cannot help but feel disappointed when FTC doesn't deliver on its promises--especially when they can easily do so.
In the aggregate, with body & head issues, incorrect accessories, paint problems, and disregard for costume quality & details, I feel there is legitimate cause for concern. I say all this as an early, ardent supporter of WGH.
I believe that if you had indicated how idiosyncratic your appreciation for FTCs offerings would be, especially in light of your rebuttal of others' posts, you would have been met here as just another new member with his own opinion to share. I post this without enmity.
