Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

[Figuremod73]

Cant wait till they start selling them in parts
Is the plastic on the plugs to thin? I'm use to the bodies being a little tight banded. CTVT usually does pretty well on the clothing.

Hope they make it to Conan and the other REH characters. Thats what I'm most anxious about.

i bought two sets of these ,have no problems at all with the ones i removed from packages ,they pose well and look very sharp.
my only problem so far is waiting for the next series .i hope their very successful by taking on this difficult challange producing these figures.

^^^^^Same here! PERFECT figures! No problems at all!
However, neither FTC nor any seller should neglect customer complaints or feedback and treat them with arrogance... That's an instant deal breaker!

It's becoming clear to me that the trap FTC has falling into was laid out by us the consumer. We've been asking and begging for so long for someone to make the toys we grew up with and in doing so we got the same issues the original Megos faced. I have a few Megos with broken pins still on the card. The problem is the design of the product (fragile pins, tight rubber bands, loose stringing...). Megos and the new stuff are beautiful toys to pose but as far as play with, they're just not made for the rock n' sock'em. I've come to terms with the fact that if I want Megos then I'm going to get it's baggage too. I'm not saying we shouldn't contact them for replacements because it's our right to get satisfaction as a consumer but let's understand the products we buy. I'm treating these as Ferarris not Toyotas.

Extra Sticker and DC Direct Comparison

DC Direct has always been a good comparison, and also the old CTV toys ironically.
Yknow it comes out of the package obviously not wanting to be touched.

This is not that situation, and honestly considering i think we are lucky its not worse.

BTW the extra Batman sticker feels to me a way to say hey we are thinking of everyone.

While I think these type of toys are meant to be more for display, than play, they shouldnt break right out of the package. The "real" Megos that I have gotten over the last few years are really good quality. (and decades old!) They are put together better to. I do think Figures Inc. is trying, maybe they will improve as the line goes forward. Mattels line had some major flaws and they were harder to fix. The great thing about these figures is they can be fixed with a spare part here and there.

A customer should expect a little bit of support if they put up the $25 dollars though. From what I've seen in the past the company usually will send a replacement part right away when there is a problem.

[The Bat]

It's sad to hear that FTC still has quality control issues. Me personally...I'll buy them regardless. The Heads, clothes and accessories makes it worth $24.99 a figure to me...I'll replace every body if I have to. Hell, I did it with the crappy Mattel ones.

And the sales on the Teen Titans are gonna be HUGE!

[thunderbolt]

still waiting for the 66 line, these retreads do nothing for me. I hope they eventually re do the Batman figures with improved suits and sculpts. Mattel did the right thing and ditched the mitts.

Can't argue with that. In fact, I'm replacing Batman's head right away with a 70's Troy Younger sculpt. I also HATE the oven mitts.

[Figuremod73]

That does look good. Those molded gloves they offer are good replacements for overmitts. I would like one hand closed fist and one open.

I was thinking of replacing the mitts too , but aren't their gloves too light a shade of blue ? It would be nice if it all matched - there's a wish list item - darker blue molded gloves.

Yep, I looked and they are a different shade. Could paint them I guess. Maybe they would considering making them.

Gloves

The gloves seem easier to fit on if you ask me.

[Iron Mego]

Didn't we discuss oven mitts already? These are repros of the originals, the originals had oven mitts, so these do as well. I'm sure they'll ditch them for any "new" figures they produce.
