FTC Limited Edition DC 2-Packs

[samurainoir]

I'm suspecting these limited edition two-packs will become the norm as we get more releases.

It will be interesting to see how they approach Green Lantern and Flash compared to Matty.
Also wonder how they will do Hawkman's wings.



Looks like they are really trying to justify tooling up the Teen bodies. Superboy, Supergirl, Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr. (or "Shazam jr" as he's now known). I'm guessing Raven, Robin will also sue those bodies. Would prefer Starfire Nightwing and Cyborg to have adult bodies, but looking at the grouping, we might get them on teen bodies as well if they are part of the Teen Titans series.

I'd guess Sivana might use the teen body as well?

[Nostalgiabuff]

those are really cool and all, but the price point is a bit off IMHO

[megalomaniac001]

I really hope that FTC does use an adult body for the likes of Cyborg, Nightwing and Starfire etc. The 4 Teen Titans in series one make sense in this scale, (A Robin too!) the others would not.

Calling Lonnie Fisher!

Matter of time before this picked up. Great marketing idea. Well done FTC!

Vinny0026 should get royalties. Same for The Toyroom

Multi-pack figures have been around since at least Star Wars.

The character lineup is perfect---too bad release-wise they had to start with Alfred, of all their choices.

And, yeah, what's up with Riddler style art going the femme way two images in a row? Coincidence?

[ScottA]

I might go for the Batman/Robin set.

If there's one thing FTC has proven they can do... it's milk the heck out of a minimal amount of already released items that are sitting in-stock before moving on to...um...."moving on".

"Great marketing"?

Or

"Common sense when you want to tantalize while drawing out release date intervals"?

It all depends on your point-of-view.

I just went to the site, thinking that these would be equal in cost to the normal FTC's and was ready to plunk down my money.... limited edition or not, at $10 extra, there's no way I'll buy these, EVER. These are obviously for "packaged" peeps and "packaged" peeps only, as they're not only the same price---they *exceed* that price.

Wonder if they'd consider putting together FIVE-packs for $110 apiece...ya know, in plain brown cardboard boxes.... I'd be all in for those.

Look overall - I'm glad to see that all the new stuff they are making. And happy to see all the new figures coming out.

I talk to Anthony - He asked me if it was ok if he made the 2 packs - when we both knew he had the rights and did not need my permission.

It would have been nice to just see something That said Inspired By me and Toyroom.

Anyone who knows me - knows I give 100% credit to everyone for any help I get and also for every little part I use and Who they come from.
Just would have been great to get a shout out or something - at least give the credit when its due.

As far as the art work - Toyroom is the master. I tell him what I plan on doing and he puts it all together. Again If you know me you know one of the first things I say or post is that 85% of my collection would not be here if it was not for him and a lot of people on the boards.

A little credit just would have been nice.
But as they say in NY - it is what it is.

Yeah these should be $50 each tops, guess FTC charged $10 extra since only 100 of each. I wish this card art was used on single Batman Series 1 and 2 figures!

You're paying the extra $10 for having a numbered product limited to 100, and the card art. At least that's why I paid.

[Vinny0026]

I don't think the ten bucks extra for a limited piece is a far fetched for a 100 piece item is an issue
people buying these sets have no intention on opening these - so price is not the issue.

[Mego-Amigo]

I just hope they do all these characters on single cards and not limit some of them to two packs. I have no interest in two packs.

Pretty nice but not even a buck off for buying all of them!
