Justice League figures shipping!

[JimP]

Is it just me or do all the heads look warped? Very obvious on Aqu, Bats and Sup. They seem to slant inward to the neck from the temples. The paint is bad too. It over accentuates the 70's sideburns and close hairlines. ... That rough Aquaman neck joint.\! (Yikes) They need to work harder on keeping the good parts of our old megos and dropping the bad.

My biggest disappointment with the JLA figures seems to be Captain Marvel's cape. It was originally shown with yellow trim. That didn't make it to production. That took a "must have" figure - set of figures to a "skip" set for me.

The neck plugs are a little loose but none of mine are warped looking and I have 3 of each. Bad pics like that can make anything look bad

On the two Aquaman's that I have bought -- Fist Fighters and JLA -- the next plug has been rough. Must be in the mold now. I swapped the FF Aquaman onto a Type-S body and it fit perfectly, hiding the rough spots.

I don't recall any of my JLA heads being warped. Maybe it's just the angle of the photo with Batman being in the background?

I wish FTC did not drop the trim from Captain Marvel's cape too, but I think the rest is so much better than the CM Repro that I swapped it out for the JLA version. I am a fan of the huge lightning bolt and I love the boots.

I've checked my JLA figures and compared them with your photo and mine look just fine. Having said that though, I can see where you're coming from with your Batman, but all the rest look OK to me. Try taking a closer, side/square on photo of the figure from the shoulders up and see how it looks.

when i do not like the look of where one of my FTC heads meets the neck hole (ie, Mechanicat's JLA Aquaman pic), i boil up the FTC head, remove it, and add a small black rubber washer within the neck's indentation. I did that with my JLA Batman and JLA Green Arrow. Using the Aquaman picture as an example, IMO, the neck plug looks a bit loose regarding the height of indentation (too generous where neck inserts into the neck hole). A skinnier rubber washer builds up the space, and when added after the head is boiled to pop the neck back into the figure, the washer hides under the neck hole, with a tighter neck plu finish.

If I think the head looks warped, I reshape it by wrapping the softend head up with criss-crosses of Scotch tape from shoulder to shoulder, and chest to back, crossing at the top of the head, and place the figure in the freezer overnight. A day later, I let it thaw at room temperature for another day, and remove the tape. I let it sit a day or so (and I might guess it could be potentially reshaped carefully with a hairdryer, if the head now looks too flattened in height, and a person wanted to try paiently with it). I was never happy with my elongated FTC Robin heads, so i reshaped one of my Robins this way about six-months ago, and ii now looks more like the origial Mego Robin head shape. It has still held the new shape.

FTC didn't drop the trim. It was a factory issue. No one Yelled louder than me over this. It would have looked fantastic.

The moose is on the loose!

Well, if anyone can yell loud but actually say nothing it's you. #whenmmmspeaksnoonelistens

Actually it looks like your always listening. The Loyal opposition always hard at work!

[amby87]

I can actually see a very thin strip of yellow trim around the edges of my Shazam's cape in places. I'm thinking the yellow was there but the factory cut most of it off during production. Just an uneducated guess on my part.

[jeffbearco]

Do you think the Captain Marvel capes will be fixed in a later re-incarnation?

Will Mary and CM Jr have the trim? And will the correct cape be available later through CTVT?

Or should people just take a highlighter to it?

I also hoping that CM Jr comes with a red cape with yellow trim.

I hope Shazam wave at least has yellow trim and tassels!

[PNGwynne]

I think you mean a florette . And yes, the trim needs remedied for the future Marvel Family releases--Mattel got that detail right.

[Boy_Wonder_1978]

Does anyone know who's likely to be announced for series two?
