Teen Titans?

[EMCE Hammer]

And I am getting a shirt printed with this on it. One of my favorite lines ever here:

"Unreasonable complaints will be balanced by indiscriminate endorsements."

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

The sleeves will likely pull up a bit but I bet those gloves aren't snug against the hands either. Cut a bit of double-sided tape and put it inside the glove so the hand has something to stick to and it would likely snug the sleeves up the arms a wee bit.

Nice card art, wonder why WG has that big bland "DC COMICS" above her name when the others don't?

My biggest issue is still that Wonder Girl's arms don't bend. I know that makes it true to the original figure, but it also makes her much less of a figure than the others. "Points Of Articulation" I wonder if the rest of the female figures will be handicapped the same way.

They all look ok to me but some how Wonder Girls head is off, maybe pushed too far down. I remember the first batman retro figures, some the outfits looked like they didn't fit right but I've seen them improve as I looked at the retro Catwoman recently and noticed that she looked much better this time so they seemed to fix that or maybe it depends on the luck of draw? sometimes their just right or off a little.

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.

In fact looking at the male figures again, it looks like the gloves on the right hand are lower than the left, suggesting that the gloves on the right hands aren't snug on the hands or as snug as on the left hands. Also notice that on each of these three figures the suit seems to be tilted toward the right. It almost looks like someone did that on purpose to the figures I guess to cover up the gap between the glove and sleeve that would have been created by the glove on the right hand sagging a bit.

Anyway I'll wait till I have these figures in my hand before I pass judgement on them.

I was wondering that too. Maybe some legal thing? She never ended up in the Teen Titans cartoon that came out a number of years ago and I assumed that was legal bs as well.

[ThePlayerOnTheOtherSide]

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".

Which is exactly what they should have done. If they had made the leggings red as in the picture then everyone would have been complaining that they made the figures different than the original Megos. Same thing if they had changed Kid Flash's hair to red.

Just comes down to not being able to please everyone I suppose.

Agreed. And if FTC were to make "corrections", I would prefer vast improvements -- tighter fitting clothes, S-Type body design, etc.

That said, it would be cool if FTC made a more accurate Speedy a website exclusive at the same time they offer Robin. I'd probably buy one (along with my TT Set).

Don't you love how they STILL couldn't do Speedy correctly? Seems an easy fix when you are staring at the picture.

probably my biggest complaint with straight reissues, some stuff mego just had wrong, why perpetuate it

Because we want Megos again, warts and all.

As someone said if FTC is smart they can sell the 'correct' suits and let the collectors that want to swap out, do so.

[jeffbearco]

Are Wonder Girl's legs locked too? Or do they bend?

I'm with you jds1911a1. I have the original Mego figures and as much as I like them, I'd like improved product.

I understand why some want exact replicas, and that is the route FTC is taking. I just hope once the company is finished with retro mego, it's ready to produce modern figures in 8" scale with removable clothing that takes advantage of better design, better sculpting and more accurate depictions of the characters.

I agree with you madmarva and jds1911a1, being that FTC possess the DC license...They should also make more "Comic book" picture accurate figures with better sculpts and depictions. This way you could satisfy those that want the Mego look, and those that want that "Bit more" of a modern look. I never was a fan of how Mego made the heads of the majority of their female figures (Big fore-heads). Incidentally, Wonder Girl not having more articulation...In this day and age, is a "Big no no" in my book.
