    So the "set" is the same figure with two different packages. Oh well, I was hoping for different figures, but I will still pick up one.

      LOVE the card design on both! Not sure if I will go for both but will be all over the version with 5 characters more in line with the original Mego.

        Its actually kind of brilliant from a business point of view, because some people will get both and others will pick one card or the other. But if they end up with a lot of left-overs of 1 style, they can easily switch the cards which I assume is a lot cheaper to manufacturer that the figures. So they end up selling out on whichever card is more popular.

          The five character card is my favorite card art FTC has done to date. Two thumbs up.

                This also opens the door for them to sell some of the other figures on cards with new artwork.

                        I don't like being nickeled and dimed to death. I would rather they spend more time and effort producing unreleased figures. They should not be taking advantage of collectors.

                          ^ Is this in reference to alternate packaging? I'm confused, FTC is not forcing us to buy both.

                          If you mean the TV accessory set, I see that as a "deluxe" offering, more costly due to sculpting & detailing--& comparable to Emce's Marvel offerings.

                          I've never felt taken advantage of, nor "nickel-&-dimed" for reMegos if their quality is good & I like the sculpts.

                          It's not possible to do high-quality customs for anything near the cost of these niche collectibles.

                            It is just that I will buy them both to complete my collection, if though I really don't want to. I guess it is my own fault, but still why make the same figure in different packages many times over. Why don't they offer them at a discount with no package like they do some of their other lines.

                              Now that I look closer at FTC Wonder Woman I see she has a revised head not as babyish as Mego WW! I don't mind the change as I did not like original "cute" WW head or for other Super Gals either! I wonder how FTC Supergirl will look?

                                Very nice, although I always preferred the large star version of the suit.
