    Improvement on bodies and Fist Fighters?

    So yea, I've done pretty well and only had 1 or 2 mentionable issues with some of the new DC figures.
    All's cool. I got the Justice League sitting on my desk and doubles. 1966 Batman collection which I always
    wanted. Perfect and the alpha of the toy collection. Even between the original megos which somehow look
    like they need a nap to me.

    I do wonder about these Fist Fighters tho. From what I recall about the toy, there is going to be a need
    of extra durability for the body right? Are these bodies available for custom yet?

    I am a huge fan of CTVT/FTC DC figures and had bought all of them so far, however I do advice you to not place many hopes on Fist Fighting bodies because CTVT/FTC regular bodies may had improved a bit but still far from robust imagine now their attempt to Fist Fighting bodies... I will be buying these as well but I think of them as for display and definitely not play... I hope they prove me wrong though...

      The original Mego FF bodies weren't that durable either, but like you I will definitely take a 'wait and see' approach to these bodies. I think it's more the functionality it adds that makes them more prone to failure.

        Since FTC is making improvements on some of these reMegos it boggles my mind that they did not make the decision to change the right hands on each of these to fists. Would have been perfect. I mean, "Fist Fighters," right?

          Or for the extra $5 (which to me isn't bad because the Super Powers packaging look may have needed to be specifically licensed) & FF body should be atleast twice the weight as the FTC Chia made bodies they are using, o support the "play value". I might leave my DC wave of FF MIB & MAY let my nephews open my FTC BATMAN wv1 FF to play. My youngest nephew LOVES when we go to /youtube & watch the old vintage Mego commercials. So I've already gave them a maybe about the oven-mitt clad "S/lAP Fighters" lol! But I agree w/ astronaut in a sense, keep them as is, but tape a fisted HAND IN THE PACKAGE (OR 2). or ON THE ctvt SITES, OFFER MATCHING wrist guantlets (they have em) + matching Fists together. Like sell a Robin set of x2 GREEN Wrist guards + x2 Green Fists to add to your FTC FF Robin/Aquaman, 4 a reasonable price! Then just sell those & flesh colored fist for the others.

          *anyone have the CTVT FISTED GLOVES thy sell that you can share a pic of on Batman, Robin or anyone to show how they look? The pics for those look off to me on the site because they use the same pic & just colorize it, making it hard to tell the texture/fit to me.
