I hope so. FTC needs to concentrate on KISS in their classic concert costumes. Those will grab the attention of KISS and MEGO fans. I'm going to hold out unit the ALIVE figures are released.

via email, FTC confirmed DTK figs will not be sold loose.Comment

^^^ I can understand that. Since they're using those figures on the next series, they probably have a smaller run for the suits. Of course, it's like anything though, if they don't sell well enough, they most definitely could make it to the discount chamber. Never say never. But after seeing other sites heavily discount KISS figures carded (even lower than CTVT loose prices) there's plenty of good reason to hold out for a better price. I love what FTC is doing, but there's also a saturation effect taking place. It's going to be hard for them to sustain $70.00 & $80.00 prices on figures that consistantly sell for 50% to 60% below retail after six months. I have every incentive to wait on the 12 inch variety. If they were more price competitive, I would give them the business directly, but I can't justify those prices. There's too much out there I want that the same money can buy for considerably more product.Last edited by MIB41; Dec 29, '13, 7:56 AM.Comment

Can anyone who has purchased the 8" DTK Kiss figures comment on the bodies? Have they been fixed or do they still look all crooked and have a hard time standing up? I'm curious about this. Thanks!Comment

Proof in the pudding that he's known for over 30 years how their hair was supposed to look and had hands-on experience with Mego quality.
I have to admit, I knew no one as a kid who had anything KISS.
Course, everyone "knew" the four guys with face makeup, but I had no clue I could walk into a store and buy KISS merchandise until somewhere around 1984.Comment

Sorry to dust off this thread, but I thought you might be interested to know that CTVT is ALMOST offering these loose. You can order the heads, the suits with bodies, and the suits on their own.

The heads are $6 each or all four for $19. Suits are $10. Suits with bodies are $13.
So all four heads and the four bodies with suits end up being $71 as opposed to $99 or whatever. Or provide your owen bodies (which a lot of people seem to be doing with these) and it's only $60.
You save enough money to go to the movies! But no popcorn....Last edited by CrimsonGhost; May 8, '14, 9:20 AM.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

That's pretty cool. Buy the parts and put them on a type s body. Thanks for the heads up.
Since money is tight and I am selective on purchases, I've received the 12" gene, Paul and ace figures as gifts the past few months.Comment

Wow. That's too bad for the line. I heard rumors the Alive series may be it for a while. That's a bummer because we missed some real iconic outfits like Destroyer and Dynasty.Comment

Once they start to part out the Alive outfits, I'm in.Fresh, not from concentrate.Comment

Yeah, I got the first set, but really wanted Destroyer figures. It was the first album I bought.Comment
