I like it.
The face looks a little like an Osmond Brother to me (maybe Alan).
My only worry is that the emblem looks like it could peel off.Comment

Another giant head...
This, along with SF Robin's oversized noggin means I'll be passing on this whole line.
C'mon FTC, get it together---I really want to buy your products, but the giant heads are an absolute deal-breaker.Comment

I'd initially thought that the time lag was due to FTC correcting the oversized head problem, but if this Superman is any indication...who knows?Comment

So take a head that's a tad larger, then put it on a smaller-scale body, and we get World's Greatest Bobble Heads.
Has anyone modified a Bizarro with a Type S, EMCE or original Mego body? I would be interested in the comparison.Comment

I think the suit looks nice. The head being too big just kills it for me, though.
Either FTC is serious about correcting the head scale issues or they're not. They've said they recognize the problem and are taking steps to fix it, yet the photos they are sharing still have the size issue. I just want them to be honest about what's going on. If we're not going to see any fixes for another year or so, just tell us. If the oversized heads are a design choice, just tell us. For them to keep saying they recognize the problem but continue to show new figures with oversized heads is just going to tick off a significant portion of their customer base.Comment

Since this is undoubtedly a prototype, I’ll reserve my opinions till later on when we get better pics of the production release. Fingers crossed big time that this line kicks major tookus, because I REALLY want to want this entire line!MY GODS ARE SMALL...... AND PLASTIC!Comment

FTC really needs to make some body upgrades for characters like this. To me the head looks too long. The Freddy Mercury teeth aren't helping.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

It's funny that something as small as the belt is the major offender that throws everything off. Yes, there is a LOT "wrong" about the details of the head sculpt---starting with the size----BUT, I see what they were going for---it really is the definition of "a swing and a miss" whereas their Robin head sculpt was very good. Yes, the boots are a bit thick, but I felt the same way about the Mattel Retro hero boots, but changed my mind when I had some of the figures in person.
I'd pick this guy up eventually----heck, I'd pick up any Re-Mego with the "Super Friends" name on it eventually. The reason I won't do it right away is because, yeah, it's not spectacular, and, frankly, my DC Direct SF Supes will tide me over for a long time.
I think the real "tempters" of this line---the ones that'll haunt me til I'm able to purchase them, are characters like Grodd, Brainiac, Toyman, a "SF" recolored Capt. Cold----figures that are really unique to the toy world.
Wendy, Marvin & Wonderdog? If they release those---I THINK---even though I have great DCUC-type customs of them, I'd still buy FTC's right off the bat----those releases would be the MOST unique."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment
