      I stood my original next to the FTC one and the original is definitely shorter. Not by much but there is a definite difference.

        Thanks for those comparison shots. That really makes the case for how close these figures are to the originals. But at the same time, there are enough subtle differences to distinguish one from the other. The Riddler and Joker are just about dead on. But the material used on the outfits are different from the originals. Otherwise I would have a hard time telling the difference at all. Very good work.

          thanks for the pics - they do look really nice and for those who've never been able to afford minty-megos, these will do quite nicely for a collection display.

          I've not jumped - the bodies I got with my Wave 1 spooked me too much to drop $24.99 + Shipping on them.....make em $19.99 for a mass-produced item and then I can swap the body without so much buyers remorse.

                    The common trait with all the figures, are FTC seem to be "longer" at certain parts. For example, Batman's head has more of a length look compared to the original's width. Same with Robin and Riddler.

                    That would also account for Penguin's torso. It's the difference in manufacturing today and 40 years ago. Maybe the rubber.

                      i also received my two sets the other day .fantastic!!.I like bruce & dicks outfits ,Bruces head is smaller then dicks ,but the bruce head is slightly larger
                      then doc megos ,which makes it look better ,Penguin is great ,hes got the kiss shoulder idea,so you can move his arms like he has wings ,Catwomen looks
                      very good ,although they should have put tape around her hair (like mego did) to control it .the female body is not as good as mego but its the
                      best i have seen to date,poses very well .i think Figures toy company did a very nice job on these ,cant wait for series 3.

                        Yes she does! It is routed behind one of her legs so you cant really see it when packaged inside the clamshell, but is there. These figures are all great reproduction of the originals!

                            Still can't get past Dick's/Robin's elongated head. Just doesn't look right.

                              I dig Dick Grayson's threads.

                              But never cared for the original head sculpt of the Bruce Wayne Mego. FTC were very faithful to Mego's head -- which is clearly what they were trying to do and what their customers want. Getting a good Bruce Wayne sculpt is just difficult.

                                Does anyone know if these will show up at mass retail? Or will they only be available online and at comic shops? I'd love to visit a TRU to find these guys on the pegs!
