    Interesting. The way I see it is that some people here think that if someone disagrees with what they feel is a problem that it might send a 'mixed message' to FTC and cause them to not take the first person's problem seriously. I've had multiple posts aimed at me just because I disagreed on the severity of the neck plug being in or out of the body. It's no biggie in my book, but I can understand why some people like you would see it as a problem that needed to be corrected. I just don't agree with them, and that's ok. Or at least it should be.

    I also think that some here feel that if FTC is praised for the figures that they need to point out the flaws to again avoid sending the 'mixed message' that it's 'ok to sell figures that aren't correctly made (to them)'. Again, I have no problem with anyone voicing complaints, I just don't see why we need to rehash the same laundry list of complaints on an almost a daily basis. If I started a thread almost daily praising the Batman Wave 3 figures, after a couple of similar threads the responses would be 'ok dude we get it, you like the figures, do you have to keep reminding us?'

    The bottom line is that some people here in general like these figures, some are finding what they feel are problems. Both groups have opinions and both are equally valid. The problem starts when one group thinks that their opinion needs to be heard more than the other group's, or that their opinions are more valuable to FTC than the other groups. Which leads to shouting and rehashing, etc etc etc.

    Others have tried to politely say that we need to get back to having fun with discussing this hobby versus the constant chest-beating about whose opinion is more valid. Maybe we all need to listen to what posters like MIB and BrownBear are trying to tell us.
    No ones opinion is more valid, not yours, not mine, not MIB, not BrownBear's, etc. There is just as much need for rehashing complaints as there is for rehashing praises of rehashing how the complaints seem less important (to you). If it seems as though (to you) people have tried to have their opinion heard more than any other group it could be because when they've voiced their opinion it was negated by the self appointed sheriff of FTC town. They are reacting and defending their position from backhanded attacks.

    Here's an idea, how about a truce? Everyone freely voices their opinion, positive or negative. Everyone else respect that opinion and let it be what it is, don't try and minimize it or invalidate it. If everyone can agree on that, there would be no problem.
    My posts were needlessly deleted ...

        I like the retro mego box in the three packs,also like the circle suit repro. I feel like fallensavior said about wave two batman the Bruce and Dick dont do much for me,but if Im buying all the rest ,I would see them missing,if I dont get them. If I dont get them all Penguin and Egghead are musts for me.
        The Conan line is also a must,even though the pictures of Kull and Kane dont do much for me. Kane looks awful.
        Also invisablelad did you get my PM?

          LOL, I somehow messed up something w/ my profile where it no longer shows I have a PM before going forward to read/post on the forums. It was doing that every time before! I'll go read them right this second pal!

              Jay, diplomatic post & great suggestion, I'm open to that, too. I need to refocus & "disentrench" myself.

              There's little point in slapping lillies at other members.

                Zach did clarify on the EMCE forum that the Mego repro box can be removed from the 3-pack display and displayed by itself.

                I'll skip Spidey, am definitely in for Thor (unless they muck up the Mego version) and probably in for Cap. Would be in for Iron Man as well if they get that far.

                  If you can make that Kane look good I would love to know how.

                    lol Well, I can only do so much, but it's the hat that's driving me crazy... I have some ideas, just unsure as to their practicality.

                      Same here it's awful looking.
                      I was really looking forward to this figure to.
                      So yeah if you got a fix let's see it soon. Lol

                        I think the Cap set is spiffy, it makes me more excited to see what EMCE might do with the others.
