No two packs until October.

Finally got my Aquaman / Green Arrow 2 pack tonight. Wow, what a mess and obviously thrown together in the office to expedite shipping since they committed to shipping them over a month ago.
AM's body is twisted....GA's body suit is unsnapped and he has no hat. I've resigned to chalking this purchase up to my stupidity of buying their stuff without seeing what others were getting with these first. I'm opening these and letting the kid trash them because there is absolutely ZERO value in having them in the clamshell....They don't even fit.

When I say he has no hat, I mean it's no where to be found. Oh and AM's gloves are sitting on the bottom of the package. Grrr.

Both the Superman/Shazam & Aquaman/G Arrow arrived today in So Cal ... they are so awesome ... G Arrow's quiver is awkward ... I could be fitting it wrong tho.

Welcome to the board! I can't wait for those figures to come out as singles to get mine.

I'm still on AM/GA 2-pack watch. Now I understand how Cleveland sports fans feel.....waiting and waiting and waiting for something positive to happen....

LOL! I do't even follow sports closesly, & even I burst out laughing after reading that!

^^^ You're a LUCKY LUCKY GUY right now ovenmitt! I have to wait for my x2 SUPER Waves when EE gets them. I may not open my FFs, so I'll have to wait for FTC to decide nobody else is going to buy the 2-packs or FF at the higher price before they release singles of AM, GA, & Shazam in 2015! So until them I'm hoping you do a photo shoot, maybe even taking pics of the FTC DC line-up so far! That would be so AWESOME to see! Well either way....CONGRATS on your FTC DC re-mego collection of a lifetime!

[ovenmitt]

I received my 3 DC 2-packs today! Since they were delayed I already have Superman and Supergirl, but Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Shazam are also SUPER just like I remember them when I had original Megos in the 1970s as a boy! Green Arrow is still one of BEST Megos ever made! I liked Aquaman from Super Friends and Shazam from his live-action Saturday morning show!

I displayed my loose FTC DC Megos on my bed by how Mego originally released them and I cannot believe I have almost ALL Mego DC WGSH! Just need Clark Kent!

Thanks, FTC! Cannot wait for NEW DC Megos in 2015!

I ordered the yellow and red boots from Dr Mego when I first ordered the 2 pack. Of course, they sat in my office for a while because of the shipping delay on the 2 packs. That horse has been beat to death now.

The more I see, the more I'm genuinely offended by the lack of twist ties. I ordered a 66 Batman/Robin 2 pack for a Christmas present. If they take that short cut on what I'd consider their "Premium Line", I'll probably hold off on pre-ordering anything else from them until I see what other people's look like when they are delivered.

The neck issue along with the upside down ball piece I've heard of on the female figures is really making me suspect that they are having SEVERE quality control issues with China. I have already ordered 3 Dr Mego female bodies and I'll try them on Batgirl and Supergirl. The other I'm going to use for a custom Wonder Woman because I want something more in line with how the 66 Batman line looks. Tired of waiting on that.

The fact that buying their figures is really helping out Dr Mego's bottom line, should be bothering someone over at FTC. I wonder if the people at Dr Mego actually start stocking up now replacement parts when they see a new FTC figure being announced.

Anyway, enough B&M from me for now.

Still haven't received my AM/GA two pack...it's been over a month since I paid for it. Sigh. They've lost a customer. Bummer.

Someone had asked how Supergirl looked with boots. After cracking the case open, switching out the shoes and boots, and staging them a bit better, here is what I came up with.

JeffBearCO

Those look way better than any of the 2-packs as sent by FTC. Those would look PERFECT if they had necks! I actually LOVE batgirls costume & all of Supergirl's except the sleeves. But Batgirl especially look bad w/ no neck. I tried pulling up Batgirls & Wonder Woman's necks to absolutely NO Avail! ZERO luck using the needle nose pliers, it didn't even come close to popping out for some reason....& believe me I tried HARD!

I'm gonna try FTC Wonder Woman's too short red boots on FTC Supergirl when she comes, IF I get some repro RED Dr. Mego boots. ThePLAYER says to just take off WW's boots & she'll look like Mego's WW w/out boots. Unfortunately My FTC WW has a lot of wear on the feet & have not only stretched causing the feet material to thin & start pulling apart, the red silkcreen is wearing away as well, so I need red boots. Tonight or tomorrow I'm going to try some of my generic 70's doll boots (look like Mego's boots A LOT) but the quality is very subpar & they are thin & fragile, some colors more than others. I will use them for customs I guess. Hopefully the 70's generic red & yellow boots will look superior to the FTC short boots until I upgrade to Dr.Mego proper mego female boots!

^^^ I think the costumes look FANTASTIC, the only exception is Green Arrow's sleeves. Otherwise I think GA looks GREAT! Aquaman looks good as well! I just wish these were $50 or the regular releases were In Stock/shipping, because obviously FTC has the costumes, accessories & Heads available right NOW! But FTC knows it's smarter to put these out as 2-pack exclusives or Fist Fighters first, as they would get $30.00 per figure, instead of $25.00. That extra $5 per figure really adds up for FTC. My opinion on the costumes for: SUPERMAN, SHAZAM, BIZARRO, Mr. MXY, BATMAN, ROBIN, BATGIRL, JOKER, RIDDLER, BRUCE WAYE, DICK GRAYSON, ALFRED, PENGUIN, AQUAMAN, WONDER GIRL, & ALL THE 1966 BATMAN figures in Wave 1, & 3/4 of Wave 2.....Look FAN-FREAK'n-TASTIC! (66 Grayson's shirt is the only thing I'd change on him). I didn't include Removable Cowl BM & RM Robin since I LOVE the costumes, but my only gripes is Robin's Mask is just ok & 1 of 2 of my Cowls on BM doesn't fit over his eyes at all!)

*So I LOVE FTC's costumes on 22 of FTC's re-megos! They look really good to GREAT!

*I LIKE 6 of FTC's costumes in general w/ some small gripes. But overall they look pretty good! (Catwoman, Green Arrow, 66 Dick G., Aqualad, Speedy, Kid Flash )

*I only DISLIKE 2 of FTC's costumes for the reasons stated below! But they BOTH have good-to-great things about them! (Wonder Woman & Supergirl)

I LIKE FTC's CATWOMAN & GREEN ARROW costumes. Overall they look Good! I just wished 4 tighter sleeves on them & no bulging seams on Catwoman's upper legs, both costumes are nowhere near a deal breaker for me at all!

I somewhat have Dislike for 2 of FTC's Super Gals costumes. But I still really like parts of both of these costumes & still LVE WW & bet I will LOVE Supergirl when she arrives from EE eventually. So my only nitpicks for WW & Supergirl are:

WONDER WOMAN's costume has BEAUTIFUL Screen Printing! But after a google search on Mego 8" Wonder Woman, I realize the stretchy material Mego used had a tighter formfitting look that FTC's doesn't. It's a little too baggy, but I have a bigger proble with the sleeves being too short on one side & the other side being stitched together too low making WW's arm attached at her mid torso. That lower stitching on one arm, & shorter sleeve on the other, makes it impossible to pose her arms much at all sadly. Still a great looking doll.

SUPERGIRL's costume looks ok overall. Some parts look really good, but the sleeves are an unfortunate departure from her charming Mego counterpart! Supergirl was the ONLY Super Gal I did NOT have as a little boy. To the best of my toddler memories (much stronger early childhood memories than everyone I know), I never even saw Mego Supergirl. I did get ISIS after my 1st or 2nd 8" Mego WW broke, but I only remember SUPERGIRL from the packages headshot bubbles. So when Mego was operating I had 1 or 2 8" WW & ISIS. Years later I lucked out & got my only Batgirl (along w/ Batman, Robin & Batmobile) far after all my mego has broken (except Kirk & a naked Cheron lol) when I was playing w/ them at my cousins (who like their parents were anal so the 3 Megos+Batmobile were MINT)) & they were getting older so my Aunt gave them to me! *But I never had a Supergirl mego, so I was really hoping for the pirate sleeves & the side-parted hair w/ some bangs on the FTC Supergirl. But overall I can definitely still be exicited to get a Mego-ish interpretation of SUPERGIRL from FTC! Besides the bad body on her, I can get over the hair & tight sleeves!

[jeffbearco]

I got my 2 pack of Supergirl/Batgirl yesterday. They honestly looked like they had been fighting in the package. No twist ties. Supergirl had throw a shoe. Hair was a mess.

I was able to open the FTC zip tie, replaced Supergirl's shoes and Batgirl's boots with Dr Mego footware. I tightened up Supergirl's belt. Straightened out both of their hair. Then added a twist tie on one foot each to hold them in without messing up their hair.

They look great now. But it took a lot more work than I'd expect for the price.

I didn't notice that; it feels about like the original to me.
