    Still waiting on shipping. I guess the donkey from Florida to Oregon got lost. Hopefully today. I really wish they gave the tracking information with the shipping notice instead of making you ask them for it.

      I was thinking his clothing is pretty sharp, too.

        Seems like they would just include it in the shipping notice.

          Yeah, I thought they used to do that. But maybe not.

            With the impending white out here in the Bronx, I finally got a chance to sit down and strategically open all 4 of wave 1 and all 4 of wave 2 Figures without clipping off the FTC zip tie, took some group shots and some individual shots all with their Original counterparts next to them to compare. Wil post pics soon.

              Guys I should have posted this sooner. To those of you who would like to keep the FTC zip ties intact and not have to cut them to open the packages I used this. From target $4.
              Just slip the flat piece under the little flap that catches to the teeth lift and slide the plastic out of the hole

                  I guess but judging by this, FTC made the wrong call on the method of "freshness seal." Maybe they would be more secure with like, one of those hologram type seals at the top? FTC logo seal? I'll be honest, I really don't care much about this aspect, I just want the company to keep producing WGSH figures, both in repro and new form. I plan to buy them all.

                    Got my set of 4 figures today. Overall, I have to say I think they pretty much nailed it. Dick Grayson is really nicely done. Wasn't expecting actual working button holes on his jacket. Nice detail FTC! Bruce looks great as well. I will say the Penguin does look a bit slimmer than my original one but really nice nonetheless. Catwoman is nicely done as well. Suit is a bit baggier but the facepaint is really really nice! And the boots are very high quality. Bring on the next waves!

                      Does the repro Catwoman have a tail like the original? Haven't seen it in any of the pics and haven't seen anyone address this yet...

                              Based on photos, my guess is FTC has reproduced the Grandpa Walton "tall-fat" torso, and will use it for Boss Hogg as well.

                              Weird, since (India-era) CTVT had reproduced the standard fat torso.

                                Is the FTC Penguin taller or is it just the pic?
