Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

I think these look pretty good. Even though they're prototypes, I'm noticing that their legs seem to standing up straight, which is a good thing.

In regards to these being exact or not... haven't people here expressed the desire to have small differences that distinguish the originals from the repros? The differences that are being discussed seem very very slight. There's bound to be some differences here, 40 years have passed.

I was so excited when Retro Action figures came out, but they were more "mego-like" than mego to me. I love them anyway, but these look and feel like Mego. This FEELS like an extension of the mego line to me and I hope the usual expected witch hunt doesn't put a damper on it. C'mon guys.....we're getting DC mego's.....stop wining!

They're not exact replicas and people will bee-otch about them no matter what we get. I'm thrilled that these are coming and as long as quality/price meet my needs I've support the line and so far it does.

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

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 want this quote on a t-shirt

I want this quote on a t-shirt

Here ya go.. well, sorta

[Aricosaur]

^^^ That is disturbing and hilarious!

[megoscott]

Hell, you can put that on my tombstone.

[Captain Awesome]

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

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!

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

[Captain Awesome]

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...

[Captain Awesome]

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

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.

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.
