Earth 2 Chris and mego above are correct. Everybody was given the same crappy components to work with. However, CTVT put little effort in designing the overall look of the packaging. There is a way to design that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts. The design choices here are about at a junior high level. I qualify that statement by saying that I spent nearly 20 years in advertising (several of which involved creating ads that had to follow strict manufacturer style guides regarding color choices, art elements, size of logo, etc. I ended my career as a Creative Director who would have fired the designer that submitted that package art). This design is beyond bad.

It's a matter of opinion though...I'm an artist myself, and honestly, while neither are good I find the FTC cardback slightly more attractive than the NECA box.

I wasn't gonna pile on, but I do have to say they could have done way better on the Card artwork. Sure the licensor gives you guidelines, but as the manufacturer you may have to push them a bit for the sake of YOUR product. This looks phoned in... The figures look nice thugh, love that Joker... Oh well good thing somebody makes great looking aftermarket cards.

^Yeah, I don't mean to be overly negative, because these guys have some great stuff going on here. I just wish they'd put an equal amount of effort into the packaging.

Couldn't help but think of the 1989 Smilex Commercial... "Love that Joker!"

[boss]

Yeah, but I was paid for my opinion. ;-)

These look promising, but I'll wait for the released product to be reviewed, so my hopes aren't thrown off the cliff to the jagged rocks below.

Thank you! It saddens me to think that someone got paid for this design. While I'm very pleased with these figures, it's hard to imagine how they allowed this wreck of a design to spotlight this MAJOR investment of their new lines. Nice figures though.

Oh Lord! I really, really REALLY hate to be a Debbie Downer, but it looks NOTHING like Frank Gorshin!!!!

They managed to nail Cesar's sculpt beautifully, and from what I can see under the cowl, Adam West's as well.

I hope to God that this is only a prototype and that they fix the sculpt.

[Brown Bear]

Awesome, thanks for the sneak peaks.

No you're not, your RIGHT! It looks nothing like Frank Gorshin. Sadly, I'll be passing on this figure.

[pmwasson]

I don't know, it looks pretty close to me:



The shape of the head, ears, chin and mouth all look pretty good. I'll wait to see it in person to pass judgement.

I already see one body that's had an arm pop off because it's strung too tight.

Looks like the ones on the green area are finished, the ones next to them they are still working on.

[thunderbolt]

It looks like they are using the Evel Kenevel style gloved hands. I was hoping the black shoes would go away, tho. I agree with Paul, it looks like Gorshin. Interesting that the Bat-Buckle is a separate piece.
