Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

Looking at the pics on the site, it looks like the twist tie around Joker's throat doesn't allow for the jacket to be up where it should be.

[Iron Mego]

To me it looks like the jacket on Joker is just pulled down weird in the back, notice the sleeves... they are sort of bunched up as if the jacket is just pulled down on this particular figure.

That's what I was thinking, too. Looks pulled down in the back.

It appears to me that FTC has patterned the jacket incorrectly, omitting the excess fabric that would form the front lapels--so the back collar fits poorly.

I will say the screening looks excellent, much better than their Dracula.

I'll be curious about the reviews on Joker. That jacket looks like an odd fit. Hopefully that's just the way its situated in the card, but not the actual fit. O

Just ordered a set. Will be giving Batman and Robin as Xmas gifts to our friends' twin boys, and the Riddle and Joker will be staying here.

WOW! They look AWESOME! I actually LOVE the darker blue on Batman. It just so happens that I already have a Troy Younger 70's Batman head painted the exact same color...bye, bye molded cowl! The first FTC Custom!

Yes, we knew about the extra emblem back in September:

Nice to see it is still included.

Man, I missed that. Glad they're silkscreened!

I'm wondering how the belts are on Batman and Riddler. Are they stiff like from what I've heard about Doc's? Or are they more like the other plastic belts?

[hedrap]

I like the box art a lot. I'd really like it if the figures looked like the box art...

Batman and Robin, however, feature silkscreened emblems. Batman also includes a paper emblem ...

Nice to see it is still included.

So, it looks like Batman comes with some extra emblem stickers. That's a really good idea.

I'm tempted by these, just to have a set carded. SOOOO tempting...

Good eye. And yes, that is a really great idea.

Isn't that extra emblem the first edition version that came with the RC Batman? It registers that way.

They do look awesome, I just went to classic tv toys and ordered batman and robin. I have the original type two batman, robin, riddler, and joker. On Christmas of 79 I received batman and robin, and I thought it would be cool to wait and open these this Christmas. I think they look well made, and the pic is awesome. Looking forward to these, it's going to be hard to try and wait and open these. I hope everyone is happy when the orders arrive, good luck to all.
