Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

[Teemu]

$25.00 a figure isn't that cheap, especially since he is the manufacturer AND the retailer. DC Comics gets 12% of the wholesale price.

cheap as in lesser quality plastic and cheaper materials used

I've got a nephew and the son of a good friend who will get a set of B&R for Christmas. I'll probably pass for myself, but I am looking forward to Alfred and any other new characters that might come along.

Necks look a little long. Other than that,I don't have a problem with these.

They look like crappy knockoffs/bootlegs.

Isn't that what Figurestoycompany is? a maker of CHEAP,knock-off toys

They look great! Can't wait to see them in person.

Hmmm. They look pretty good. But no one will mistaken those for vintage Megos (which is a good thing). I guess after hearing the announcement and finally seeing production samples (compared with some of their other new licenses) these are an easy pass. The Dukes have been the best in the batch of new figures thus far for me. There have been SO many companies that have done repro costumes for characters like Batman and Robin, these new ones are just a little passe.

Good for them! I am am impressed... they are not perfect, but pretty dang good if you ask me. I'd like more to peek under the hood at that body That, in my opinion, more than anything is gonna be where the rubber meets the road. The boon is for those who customize in the strictest MEGo style. You can indeed do it up MEGO style using these parts and not feel bad about it! I count this as a win!

My off the French card late Mego Batman has a blue hue very close to that for the head and cape. The Joker's coat is much darker as well.

These look nice. The packaging isn't bad. I prefer this straight-up retro approach (albeit modified to make it more TV-centric) to the faux distressed look of the Mattel figures, which bugged me to no end.

Christmas presents!

I would not have a problem dropping $20 at retail for one or any of these off the shelf however (call me cheap) the extra $5 plus shipping makes me a little more reluctant and far less likely to collect 'em all.

[ScottA]

I like them. Two of each please.

[HardyGirl]

I think they look pretty cool. I only ordered the Joker and Riddler, since I already have 3 Batman figures, and 2 Robins. Even though I'll miss the lighter blue of Mego Batman, I like the the cowl, cape, gloves and boots are all the same shade of blue. And I really love the packaging!
