    No problem. . FTC is using the closest modern equivalent to vintage Mego fabric: It's polyester single-knit (jersey). But it's not quite as soft or stretchy as the vintage cloth.
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      it is pretty close but has a slight shine to it which seems most obvious on the wonder woman flesh parts compared to the original but the catwoman doesn't seem as shiny but it's a different flesh colour to the wonder woman.

        I have only been able to remove the heads by cracking the torso open. Don't like the retro action male bodies anyway.
