Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

Do you suppose they'll sell the boxes separately? I have a nice Aquaman that I have in a repro box from 15 years ago and I'd love a nice box to put it in.

^they sell cards separately, so I'd say give it a few months.

They won't be exact replicas since they can't use the WGSH and Mego logos or Marvel images. Eventually, they need to make it their own color scheme and art choices. A red Superman or blue Batman box would be a nice option.

I would love to see the Marvel figures re-released like this! I assume licensing issues stop that from happening, what with the trickle of Diamond figures.

[Mego-Amigo]

This is what I was hoping for the most from FTC. I really hope they don't release these with short boxes and the figures crunched down like the pic. Really hope some of FTC original DC characters get released in window boxes too. Maybe even Conan and Tarzan.

Been waiting for this but if mr mixy can't even stand even, oh well, nothing to see here.

[TrekStar]

The effort and idea just to do this is appreciated, but it does look like the boxes seem a little short to pose the
the figure with the knee bend, especially GA but maybe that's probably because he's packaged wearing the hat?
and it looks more obvious.

Hopefully the box manufacturer didn't incorrectly miss measure the box measurements, since that would defeat
the purpose of the whole thing.

CTVT's previous repro boxes (pirates, knights, etc.) were all smaller/shorter.

The deep knee bends kill me, too funny.

I like them but not a fan of the deep knee bends as others have mentioned. Are they going to be sold separately or all together?

Looking at the pic again, Riddler seems to be almost straight-legged, and only the top of his head is hidden. I'm wondering if it's possible to put them in a spread-legged stance and have them completely viewable through the window?

This is what I am hoping too. But I still have my concerns.

Fun newsletter as always! Love checking out the newsletter every Friday. Most of the time I find things I missed on the forum. The rare times I don't, I know I'm cookin.

I've always loved the Mego boxed versions. Great look and a space saver as well. However, if FTC doesn't correct the boxes (and those are the actual releases), I might have to pass. If FTC hopes to move some of their older figures with this method, I would suggest making sure these boxes display the figures without the need to shortened the figures. It's not a difficult task in my opinion.

[Mego-Amigo]

I hope " right down to the last detail " means the ladies will have clear headbands too.

Well I can't wait for reviews to come in on these boxes. Feast or famine.
