Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

I think they look great. Still waiting to get my hands on one.....once opened if it goes into the pee-pee stance or gets all floppy I will probably cry.

Honestly, I'm not concerned about the body itself as we have several options for those--the deco/costume fabrication is paramount for me. But of course for the price-point, we should be getting as good a body as we do with CAW, Emce/BBP, and Pres. Monsters.

I'm honestly GLAD that Figures 66 output is coming a bit later. That way it will hit AFTER much of the stuff we've seen, and may have a better chance of catching on with the general comic/Batman fans, and not get lost in the glut of 66 merchandise that is hitting right now. Hopefully this will translate to more waves making it out.

the work was basically done for the repros, the 66 stuff is being done from scratch so it will take longer. Patience, grasshopper.

The '66 property has a few more layers that add time to the whole process. Just think of them as early for Christmas 2014:-)

Well, when you put it that way.....the waiting STILL bugs me! However, I am supposed to be a mature woman, who can wait for something like this.

Emphasis on the phrase 'supposed to be'!

Any idea when series 2 might be coming? Any new on Tarzan or Conan?

I'm a teensy bit ticked that the Classic TV version wasn't ready to go out as well. I was looking forward to that, more than the one that's coming out now.

It'll be out too late for Christmas (which is another peeve) and I only hope that it isn't pushed back until next summer. That would really be a bummer.

People are getting them. Heck even the postman is posing with them. This was posted on their Facebook page. I wonder if FTC has touched a nostalgic nerve that will grab people who are not hard core collectors? Could be interesting to watch.

I hope this is the case. I would really like these to succeed like gangbusters and get us those DC characters Mego never made.

wish they would give a option of non collector friendly packaging just glued on bubbles for those of us that would let the figures loose and not keep all that garbage anyway. Or even better repro boxes. sure seems like that would cut a few bucks off the price if some of that packaging was dumped.

they've dumped the packaging on KISS figs as a low-cost option...has me darn tempted to buy some loose figs off their site once disposable income for the collection improves.

^ Hope that's the case. These pix look promising and good reviews here of loose figures will make or break this line IMO.
