FTC confirms on FB page today that it will be revealing Batman Wave 4 figures soon

Exactly what I hoped they wouldn't be. 18" figures will be an easy pass for me.

Ditto. Its just as well. I can barely afford to buy all of the 8" figures I like now.

Wish they would just focus on the 8" lines. Giant-size superheroes seems like a silly path to take, IMO.

I am curious about the 18" figures. I have some -- NECA Adam West Batman, comic Hellboy, Toy Biz Spider-Man -- but none with cloth clothing.

Does anyone know if they just up-sized the Mego body, or if it is a improved Mego body?

A lot of companies do this, up-sizing a smaller figure to gigantic size. Mezco, Kubrick and Mattel (to a lesser degree) comes to mind.

I may be interested depending on the body and character selection.

I would like to collect Sideshow 1/6 DC and Marvel but they are $200 and UP each! Same with SS and Hot Toys 1/6 Star Wars!

So, I am curious to see PRICE on FTC 1/4 18" DC and Batman TV figures!

My DREAM is to have a 18" Lynda Carter Wonder Woman! Lynda WW has topped my Christmas list since 1975 when I was 5! Mego 12" WW was good but I want a Farrow Lynda sculpt!

Looking forward to seeing these---hopefully the head scale issues will have been corrected.

I don't care if they are build-a-kits as long as we get new figures. Looking forward to seeing these.

No the heads will be life size.

Well, if the 1/4 heads are large, FTC could sell them as life-size busts. Just kidding. I might go for an 1/4 Apache Chief or Colossal Boy but I don't have room for toddler-sized figures, unless they just knock everything else on the market out of the park.

Yeah I would only be interested in giant type heroes to use with the 8" heroes. Not massive Batman and Superman, no interest in that whatsoever.

[fallensaviour]

Apache chief is the only 18" figure I can see myself purchase ever in the DC line.
Even that I would prefer in 12" I think.

[CrimsonGhost]

I can see this jumping on Gentle Giants bandwagon with the 12" Star Wars figures and Mattels new 12" HeMan repros. I think those figures look cool, but I'm not going to buy any.

[The Bat]

Neal Adams style BATMAN Please, please. please!!!!

^^^FTC is beating the crap out of any competitors and even of the big manufacturers like Mattel or Hasbro...^^^

Despite the complaints from some here, they really are. Childhood all over again.

Also today on Facebook FTC said we will get news soon on FTC 1/4 18" DC and Batman TV figures and what FTC has seen so far is awesome!

The 18 inchers really won't interest me, I don't have enough room now to display all the 8 inchers I've bought from FTC.

I would like to collect Sideshow 1/6 DC and Marvel but they are $200 and UP each! Same with SS and Hot Toys 1/6 Star Wars!

Me too, although the more expensive they get, the more delicate they get too. I sent back my Hot Toys Adam West Batman after I found out that I could not touch the costume without causing snares. I don't play with these, but I should be able to pose them before displaying them.

I did get the SSC Batman that was just released. Nice and sturdier, but not worth $200.

I had a lot of SSC Star Wars figures when they were sub $100 and a few even when they hit around $125. Then they priced me out and I sold them all.

I am hoping that the FTC 18" figures do not price people out before they are even released. NECA 1/4 figures, which are mostly sculpted but have a lot of articulation, are around $90. If the quality of the FTC 18" body is good (that is, better than their 8" bodies), I would expect them to cost about that.
