Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

It's difficult to sell nostalgia. It's very subjective.

Very true and a lot of you are all basing opinions on lousy out of focus and unclear pics too...
Give it a bit of time to see where it plays out.
I'll get them either way.

I'm a bitted stunned.
I hope it's not too late to cancel my pre-order with my local comic shop, because I am passing on all of these. Two enthusiastic thumbs down. What a shame.

They can't be much worse then the Mattel DC 8" clothed figures with the lousy posing bodies and material that pilled up as soon as you touched it.
I know that wasn't Docs fault too BTW..

I am really happy they are doing these. I have dreamed about it for years. I for one have no interest in trying to find perfect original figures on the secondary market and pay high prices for them. I did it for years and always needed to upgrade in some way. This way I can have replicas of my favorite childhood figures and be completely happy with them. I realize some of you already have originals and some of you prefer only originals and that's OK but they are making these replicas for people like me. A big thanks to Figures for making a life long dream come true.

Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are two of the most anticipated figs for my seven year old boys. They can't wait for these S.I's.

The thread kinda went astray though...sorry bout that.

I'm tellin ya, it's a fantastic idea for a T-shirt!!! You could even have options of which characters you want on the shirt with the same verbage. Just use the pics from the museum trading cards or somethin...somebody somewhere has to have them cataloged, right? Use the proceeds to help fund the museum or just donate part of the proceeds....you get the idea.
I think we may be on to somethin here...

Dumb dolls in suits... that kinda sums up this whole subculture, don't it?

[newlyknighted]

Great T-shirt!! I'm feeling optimistic about these retros. I really want this line to have the sales expectations FTC wants it to have. If so, we could all win with new interpretations of our iconic heroes and heroines. Bring on Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, and many more! Good luck with these FTC!

[Captain Awesome]

Make that into a shirt and I'd buy one!
REPRESENT, YO!!! Lol!

[megoscott]

Hell, you can put that on my tombstone.

[Aricosaur]

^^^ That is disturbing and hilarious!

I want this quote on a t-shirt

Here ya go.. well, sorta

The rest of the world doesn't care about copies of the Montgomery Wards Secret Identities. Most of us don't either. The Secret IDs are special only because they are rare and legendary. Otherwise they are just dumb dolls in bad suits.

I have been on here for years now, I rarely say much. I am happy to see this line with all its imperfections. I hope it is a success! I will buy these.
