Batman 66 Shipped!!!

[dr_cyclops]

I lied about the not buying these, for my own personal interests.
I want these so bad that I'm aiming for this weekend to have the money ready.
So, everyone who wants to ask; "Why should I have to trade/custom bodies and heads?", don't buy them. I need more time!

i bought two sets of these,they are fantastic ,i dont need a s-body, i think their just fine the way they are.

[LovethoseMegos]

I love these. Got mine yesterday. I will convert the joker and riddler to s bodies. Anyone have any pics of how to convert batman and robin to the s bodies?

Why all the body transfers? Are their quality issues or is it just preference?

preference,more posablility,heavier feel,no rubber bands....the FTC body really isn't all that good

converting is simple....the ball joints from the hands on the forearm,use a hair dryer to remove them and pull them out.then carefully superglue them (with the ball out far enough to attach) into the Zica forearms...they sit in there perfectly

then use the Zica hand pegs and swap the Foot ball joint from the FTC body onto that peg (using the same pins)...then take a hair dryer and heat up the bottom of the Zica legs and push the hand pegs right into the feet...and wah-lah! you have the exact same set-up as the FTC body

Thanks I'll give it a shot.

Robins arm snapped right out of the box......I have no luck with FTC. My order is always being ping pronged back and forth.

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure that's a real pain in the neck.

At least, it seems to be an isolated incident.

If it broke at the hook, check with MIB41, he had a solution to fix it.

I just don't trust FTC bodies. I bought 20 Zica type Z bodies and I'm switching all my FTC figures onto them. The type Z body is awesome by the way.

[PNGwynne]

Why aren't they using their updated shoulder joint on figures? That's consistently their weakest link. Changing that, and stringing them more loosely, would obviate the need for replacement bodies IMO.

Just received my Bats and Jokes. IMPO, bar none the best release in 8" Mego type format of the year, next to the Type-S body release. If you did not order these I would highly recommend getting these beautiful figures. Simply stunning and very impeccable. I can see collectors and fans scarfing these up. Also perfect for the next gen of play toys for the little tykes.

I agree, all that is left is a proper scale Futura Batmobile.

Looking forward to Batgirl, Penguin and Catwoman. My all time fav '66 Bats characters.

[PNGwynne]

I really want a Lee Meriweather Catwoman, but I know I'm in the minority and it's very unlikely. I have some reservations about the all-important Penguin prototype, maybe it's just the angle of the photo...

Can anyone post Romero's Joker with the tailcoat unfastened in front? I'm wondering about the inside shirt/vest details.

yep! same here....EVERY figure I get will be converted over to Zicaway bodies...those bodies make the 66 Batman figures even better
