FTC Limited Edition DC 2-Packs

Hue, what "slow-going"?

Other reMego lines have been annually or even longer.

Mego itself, aside from 1974 which featured both the Super-Gal & Super-Foe releases, did a WGSH wave each year amidst other releases.

I'm more concerned about quality over quantity. If we get two waves (say, April-November) or even three (April-July-November) a year, that's fine by me.

[VinMan]

I am with PNGwynne. He nailed it.

I don't think its slow at all. I think FTC is doing a great job. I would rather it be slow and look good than rushed and we get crappy figures.

Take your time FTC. Slow and steady wins the race.

Personally I think there's no satisfying some of you. I mean if you had told us even a year ago that we would already have 2 waves of near-prefect WGSH Mego replicas and were weeks/days away from getting a Batman 66 wave and TITANS not only near perfect Mego replicas of existing characters but new ones like Alfred, Gordon, Hawkman, Flash, etc etc etc, I think everyone here would have said it would be a dream come true. Yet there's so much hand-wringing here that it's honestly hilarious to read it.

Oh they are taking too long to make them! Oh they are making them TOO FAST...quality will suffer! I want to see more figures, when will they announce something besides Bats?!? No, they are announcing too many figures, they'll never make them all!

Good grief, seriously guys. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. The really funny/sad part is that when we are sitting here in August having had another 3-4 waves of figures out by then there will STILL be people complaining. About....something.

I could not agree with this post more.
For those of you who know more about me I was a manager for both Toys R Us and Disney - I also owned my own Pizzeria (oddly enough all around 10 years each)

You can never - and will never make everyone happy - It is a FACT

I get why some are you think your disappointed - It is because you did not buy any of the figures out to date. Its like your waiting to see if they will make others before you buy what is out there. You will be diving into ebay to try and get some of these first few waves of figures once you see the line is for real.

The rest of us have bout just about 1 or 2 of each figure already, and have reserved the waves that are not out yet.
So money for the few of us is tight. That's 100- or 200 per wave. Lets not forget they also put out first wave of Dukes, and 12" figures and Kiss

so if you look what they did in about a years worth of work and what is still going to hit -that is a ton of figures!
some of us even jumped in on 2 packs when we already had the figures.

So in short I think the pace is just great - I get it for some of you that you feel like Christmas past you because you did not get what you wanted (yet)
But for the rest of us Christmas has hit a few times already.

Sit back and relax - I'm sure you will finally get figures you want in waves 4 and 5
or jump in now and grab a figure to hold you off. Once you have one in your hand - you will see that they are for real and get better with each passing wave.

Some times what you want to eat is not on the menu - that is not a reflection of the restaurant.
In short - your dish will be ready soon - just sit back and wait for it

That makes a nice bumper sticker slogan, but without the figures, I just don't "feel it"...this slow-going on the WGSH branch of FTC's stuff accentuates that this is the worst time for me (personally) to be a Mego fan. How long is it going to take to reach a goal that Mattel blasted out of the gate with?

LOL!!! Sorry, but I can't take anything you say seriously after that statement. Yeah, Mattel "blasted out of the gate".
Then, all their superheroes tripped and fell over themselves because of hernias, polio, and rickets. Of course, you can always turn your Lex Luthor into Professor X. His legs are SUPPOSED to be useless.

I love the card art, but I either already have the figures, or don't want the ones they offering that I don't have. And I would have teamed up the Joker and Riddler.

[HardyGirl]

Having read some more of your posts, I think this whole FTC thing is fabulous! I never thought I'd see Megos reincarnated to this extent, and I can't wait for more! One figure I really want is Aqualad to go w/ my Aquaman. And if these had some "old school" style commercials, I'd be in Heaven! (even if they were only online for us adults, who remember watching these.)

I believe they have that set as well.

Hue,

I totally see your POV and understand.

IMPO, I think the pace is very spot on in this day age compared to 30 years ago. Take into account the time it takes from concept all the way through post-production. And I take into account the funding issue as well without trying to go into debt and running on extensive credit.

I, too, was weary of the delivery and still on fence albeit leaning to FTC's side and after showing my geek-core co-workers the news, seems FTC has picked up some new clients and these are early 20-something folk have FTC on their radar and are looking forward these figures even though they've never collected or played with Megos.

I'm optimistic they will deliver and certainly looking forward to getting me mitts on the '66 crew.

BTW, how's the band?

[blastphemey]

Has it been discussed as to why there is 2 supermen on the back?

[Vinny0026]

One is Superboy

[Chris]

Next FTC will be stealing TheToyroom's KISS boxes.

[HardyGirl]

That's the Joker and PENGUIN, not the Riddler. Riddles and Jokes just go together, so I think Joker and Riddler should too.

I believe they have that set as well.

[The Toyroom]

Joker would NEVER team up with The Riddler. He views the Riddler as an inferior copy. At least there's precident with the Joker and Penguin teaming up on Scooby Doo and Batman '66

Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman all worked together in the '66 movie.

Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman all worked together in the '66 movie.

They've worked together several times in part of larger groups in the comics, Detective 527 immediately comes to mind.
