    I asked FTC why they did not correct the Speedy mistake from Mego and they told me "We are replicating the mego as close as possible". I will see if I can work something out with my fake TT outfit from CTVT Flashboy outfit.

        I like them. Never seen an original in person, and looking at Holcomb's book, these outfits are actually pretty faithful.

          Yep, I'm looking at FTC's pics and the pics here and trying to figure out how they 'messed up' Speedy's tights. There must be some difference since several here caught it, but it must be pretty subtle.

          As with every wave so far, some people always find something wrong. You can if you want to with anything.

            i *love* them. Seeing a Wonder Girl alone seems like a miracle....i love that her white stars are a non-transparent white litho (compared to the original WG suits), and just look at that great necklace she has!!!! ~maybe~ if I get 2 of them, i can customize 1 into a Debra Winger TV Wonder Girl...and gosh, I hope my Speedy gets his bow

                I missed out on these in 1977 when I was 7 so this is a wonderful 2nd chance! They all look terrific just like originals! I like FTC kept light blue cards and card art of each character looks good! I had already ordered a CASE 3 sets of Teen Titans I knew FTC would do a titanic job! Bring on TT 7" Robin and Series 2 Nightwing, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven! TITANS TOGETHER! 50TH Anniversary this year 1964-2014! My 1st teen idols!

                    Is it just me or does Wondergirl's head look like the cake topper heads at Michaels?

                        Actually, it seems to me that the response here to the various FTC lines has been largely supportive & positive. The most ardent opponents have been silent as waves debut, which indicates either resignation or tacit tolerance.

                        At any rate, unreasonable complaints will doubtless be balanced by indiscriminate endorsements.

                          Wow they all look so good! Even though Speedy looks a little silly with those shorts on, he still looks awesome.

                            It all goes back to expectations. Actually it goes back to having reasonable expectations versus unreasonable ones.

                            For me, I understand that this is a company trying to re-produce a 40-year old toy line. So I expect 'close enough' because an exact replica would be almost impossible, especially at a $25 price point. But based on the complaints here and after every single line, I think some people expected a flawless replica with a few improvements over the original Megos (but only the ones THEY wanted).

                            All for $25. That seems a bit unrealistic to me, but what do I know, I am just indiscriminately defending the company.

                              Odd that the necklines on all the figures seem to be sagging, almost like the top snap isn't done. With Speedy and Kid Flash a bit of sewing could tighten that and reduce the bagginess of both suits in the upper torso, at least. Aqualad already looks pretty good as does WG.

                                Trouble with fixing the necklines might be that the sleeves get even shorter.
