    Wave 3 bodies AREN'T TIGHT! Can't believe no one mentioned this

    Couldn't resist, had to open my RC Batman. Limbs move normally, no tightness like there was in the first 2 waves.

    Also, I love the new clamshell design. It's the same as before except the tray that the figure sits in on the card can be removed, which means you can now easily remove the twist-ties without cutting them! Also means you can display the figure with or without the inner figure tray.

    IMO both this change and the change in making the figures less tight proves that FTC is listening to its customers. A very good sign.

    I love the vinyl cape on Batman but hate the cowl. It's very hard like a helmet, I always loved how rubbery and malleable the original cowl was. This one is the exact opposite.

    Do love the dark blue color of Batman's costume versus baby blue original. Just wish the grey wasn't so light on his suit.

    same for the 66 figures, bodies are pretty good. Gosh, a company that actually listens and corrects problems. Unlike Mattel that said they would fix problems but never actually did.

        I'm betting the cowl was made of a harder plastic this time to prevent the blue color bleeding onto the heads like the originals do.

              Also Batman's suit on the RC Batman seems to be altered slightly at the shorts, you can more easily lower the belt so it doesn't ride as high.
