So I called FTC and asked about the oversized heads...

[The Bat]

according to invisible lad they are, they looks close enough to Mego for me.

I kinda thought Batman's head was a little too big as well....but your side by side comparison with Mego Spidey proves me wrong.

Invisible Lad:

not much of a difference at all between Bats and this WGSH poster child.

Wait, so now the Batman 66 heads are too large as well?

Thanks KryptOnite. Yeah been waiting on that Hawkman for about 35 years, so I'm hopeful they nail it!

[Krypt0nite]

Hi Dayton43

Welcome to the board! Hawkman was always one of my most wanted as well---I really hope that FTC knocks him out of the park! I wouldn't want FTC to end, but if waiting a little bit longer leads to better figures, I'm all for that!

[Dayton43]

I totally get why people are upset with out of scale heads, but isn't it a good thing that at least there's the choice for people to purchase(or not to purchase) these figures? To suspend production would take away (for me and I assume others as well) all the excitement of seeing what's coming next? When I was a kid in the 70's I always wanted a Hawkman Mego and in 2014 to be this close to getting one is pretty cool IMO. I appreciate people's passion on this issue, but I appreciate the option to be able to buy these figures more. No offense to anyone here.

*Brown Bear, Thank You So Very Much for reaching out to Anthony for all of us concerned! I actually feel MUCH better knowing that the boss man himself says they are working to resolve this issue & it will show in future FTC releases! That brings me some peace of mind, & for that I sincerely Thank You!

[invisiblelad]

Maybe I'm becoming a Negative Nellie, but I hope you are right and I am absolutely wrong. Right now, it's hard from me to have confidence. And, yes, it is terribly hard to understand why it's not an issue with 66 Batman. I do think those heads are large, but it is minimal compared to WGH and Battle Star Galactica and $6 Million Dollar Man figures

Look at the Emerald City website pics of their massive FTC display & you'll see what I see;

FTC's BATMAN 1966 Heads are ALL TOO BIG! But I think that's exactly why it works, they are a different line w/ a different aesthetic/feel to it, & have NO awesomely scaled & perfectly nostalgic Mego's to repro & add NEW cohesive figures to. They ALFRED, Comm. Gordon & I suspect Ra's Al Ghul (@ the very least) all fit in much better scale wise w/ FTC's Batman 1966 line. I wanted to add these characters to their intended place, alongside FTC's/Mego's WGH/WGSH figures. They do NOT fit well at all, /not even close IMHO. If you look at the EMERALD City pics that are linked to their website here at the megomuseum, you'll click on the x2 images to super magnify them & you'll see the FTC WGH Batman & Bruce Wayne 2-pack hanging on th peg next to FTC Batman 66 Batman (Pink Cowl), 66 Bruce & 66 Dick. Wen you see them side-by-side you'll clearly see the HUGE difference in head scale/size. It just doesn't seem like the 1966 heads are that BIG when they are amongst each other, but next to the FTC WGH figures, you see that they are HUGE! So other than Korak & Jane, FTC's NEW characters in WGH & Batman 66 ALL have BIG Heads that are way out of the majority of Mego's 8" offerings. Now as for the FTC Dukes figures, I have not seen them in person & therefore do not know if they are Mego scaled or FTC 1966 (+Alfred, Gordon, Ras, Jayna) scaled. Just think they should NOT release another BIG oversized head in their DC WGH line, or any other non-Batman 1966 line as well.

*FTC, STOP the presses! Do NOT release any NEW figures w/ these admittedly oversized & out of scale heads! Castaway/Zica halted the release of their Action Jackson line due to this, even though thousands of $$$ had been already spent by customers through their kickstarter campaign. Now that is putting quality over quantity!

[MIB41]

MIB41, I hope you're right: I genuinely like most of what FTC has put out, and have supported all but three of their DC Comics figures with my wallet.

I purposefully asked my questions in a neutral way, with an upbeat tone of voice. There was no baiting on my end of the call, and the person I spoke with was cordial as well. Hopefully the person I spoke to was just unaware of FTCs plans.

Oh I absolutely believe your intentions were in the right place. I have no doubt there. I was just stating that the person on that other end, be it the owner or a hired hand, was not likely going to seriously field questions about their quality improvement processes based on an erroneous Q&A phone call. I'm sure that's why he was flip with his answers, because he wants to discourage getting his service line tied up with inquiries that are being handled on their social page and the various contacts who come to these forums. I can see your frustration in asking, but I can also see why they don't want to have people answering their phones offering an opinion on current products or discussing changes to future lines. They want to sell the product they have on hand, instead of swapping opinions about whether it all came out as good as they had hoped. I'm sure they're quietly fixing it on down the pipeline where it's economically feasible. My opinion.

I have a feeling most of those heads will be in scale. Kora looks to be the last of the first waves, and he looks spot on.

I still don't see how '66 can work so well and WGH be so off.

Nor do I--WGH have been comparatively slapdash IMO.

[PNGwynne]

I would prefer they eat their mistake and remake the heads.

If only. Luckily, customs could remedy that ;-)

[hedrap]

So, if other big heads are in the pipeline, it could be Ras, Scarecrow, new Batman, Flash, GL, Hawkman, Nightwing, Cyborg, which are the figures FTC has mentioned in one place or he other. That's a shame. I hope it's not the case. Personally, I would prefer them concentrate on other licenses and come back with the DC figures when the issue is taken care of. Probably is an unrealistic thought.
