Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

[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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[drogge]

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

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'!

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