World's Greatest Heroes! New "Series 2" Full-Page Ad

My problem is the version of Catwoman they are releasing. This is the third version of her. If they had to stick with this costume I wish they would have gone with the first version that looks more comic book related with the blue leggings. Why Mego decided to go with this version is another story.

Another thing, this might be out of FTC hands one what they can release first. This might be WB/DC call.

You have to remember that Mego did this to themselves to start with. 9 out of 22 (and that is counting the Teen Titans and Isis) were Batman related. Heck only one villain they released was not a member of the Batman Family. You cannot blame FTC for the ratio of what Mego released. I was shocked they decided to do the Bruce Wayne and Richard Grayson. Those were the exclusive figures. Even though all I want is Batman & Robin, I will support there waves and buy them all.

From what I gather the are trying to test the market on the Batman Megos first. There will be three waves. To keep this going Mego released 3 different Batman & Robins. So with each wave you get a Batman & Robin. Wave 3 will have Batgirl, RC Batman, RM Robin and a mystery character. This is as far as they have advertised.

So wait. They need THREE WAVES to "test the market"? So they plan to release twelve figures -- HALF of which you're suggesting will be Batman or Robin -- to "test the market"? None of that makes any sense.

They're going with the Batman line first, then they will branch out. I've seen pics of some of the first samples, and I think they'll go over well assuming that the bodies are of acceptable quality. This license has the potential to have legs for years just like when Mego had it.

Back in April, I posted the full-page ad that appeared in Previews magazine depicting FTC's Series 1 "World's Greatest Heroes!" line.

The most recent issue (June 2013) features a full-page ad promoting the "Series 2" wave:



I must confess, The utterly baffling assortment of characters chosen to represent the critical 2nd Wave has dulled the luster of my excitement.

Secret Identities? Seriously? Not Superman or Aquaman? Or Shazam?

And of the four Super-Gals presumably available to Figures Toy Co. -- all DC characters -- Not Supergirl? Not Wonder Woman? …Catwoman!

I can only surmise that FTC is contractually confined to producing only Batman-related characters. But if that's the case, why not Batgirl?

…CATWOMAN?!

SMH

It's another nice ad, but… I just… WOW. I just don't know…
