Look at the Emerald City website pics of their massive FTC display & you'll see what I see;
FTC's BATMAN 1966 Heads are ALL TOO BIG! But I think that's exactly why it works, they are a different line w/ a different aesthetic/feel to it, & have NO awesomely scaled & perfectly nostalgic Mego's to repro & add NEW cohesive figures to. They ALFRED, Comm. Gordon & I suspect Ra's Al Ghul (@ the very least) all fit in much better scale wise w/ FTC's Batman 1966 line. I wanted to add these characters to their intended place, alongside FTC's/Mego's WGH/WGSH figures. They do NOT fit well at all, /not even close IMHO. If you look at the EMERALD City pics that are linked to their website here at the megomuseum, you'll click on the x2 images to super magnify them & you'll see the FTC WGH Batman & Bruce Wayne 2-pack hanging on th peg next to FTC Batman 66 Batman (Pink Cowl), 66 Bruce & 66 Dick. Wen you see them side-by-side you'll clearly see the HUGE difference in head scale/size. It just doesn't seem like the 1966 heads are that BIG when they are amongst each other, but next to the FTC WGH figures, you see that they are HUGE! So other than Korak & Jane, FTC's NEW characters in WGH & Batman 66 ALL have BIG Heads that are way out of the majority of Mego's 8" offerings. Now as for the FTC Dukes figures, I have not seen them in person & therefore do not know if they are Mego scaled or FTC 1966 (+Alfred, Gordon, Ras, Jayna) scaled. Just think they should NOT release another BIG oversized head in their DC WGH line, or any other non-Batman 1966 line as well.
*FTC, STOP the presses! Do NOT release any NEW figures w/ these admittedly oversized & out of scale heads! Castaway/Zica halted the release of their Action Jackson line due to this, even though thousands of $$$ had been already spent by customers through their kickstarter campaign. Now that is putting quality over quantity!
