WOW! interesting new loose parts on CTVT 2016

[jeffbearco]

I do the same. FTC does clothes and accessories pretty well. It is always great when the part out things for customizers like this.

More parts without pictures this morning. Looks like they are parting out Barbara Gordon's clothes and a few other odds and ends.

I can't help but check no less than every other day to see what's new.

This is pretty cool. I might pick up a Plastic Man head and suit. Unfortunately, no Gordon, Harley, Ms. Marvel, Scarecrow, or Dr. Silvana. I'd like to get those figures but I have no interest in the cards.

[jeffbearco]

I've gotten 2 66 Joker figures now in bags and both of them had most of the green on the hair rubbed off. That's not a big deal since I'm planning on repainting the head for a more Killing Joke look. But it is definitely something to be aware of. At least the 2nd one has 2 alternate arms instead of 2 left ones and no right.

This is kinda wacky actually. Aren't they undercutting themselves, and when did the licensing change to allow them to part stuff out. That was supposedly a no-no when this all began.

I don't think (i.e. just my opinion) they're undercutting themselves, but rather responding to what their customers want, perhaps after hanging out here & listening to what has been said.

Not everyone cares about the packaging, and not only are you paying for something you don't want/care about, the packaging adds to the cost of shipping. Well not so much in the US, but I'm in Canada & that packaging adds a lot to the shipping charges.

But I think they're addressing the fact that "everybody hates their bodies". Like how many posts include 'I bought XYZ FTC figure & transferred it over the a Type S or DM body'. They're now catering to both the collectors & the customizers. And it saves them the cost of retooling their bodies (again) to try to compete with Type S/DM in a small market that can't probably can't support yet another improved body. Everybody is happy & they're making money, right?

I am certainly not saying my views are correct, rather I'm just voicing an opinion.

As for the licensing issue, I know nothing about that so I can't comment.

"I didn't see the Green Lantern costumes listed separately for sale. I'd love to do alien customs as well.

I missed it too at first, you have to scroll down. There's more stuff below JLA Green Arrow.

Same deal regarding DC heads, more past Samuari.

Now we can buy a Flash outfit by itself. My Mattel suit is pink so maybe I'll bite.

Let us know how it fits. That is, if you're Mattel Flash is still on the Mattel body. I never swapped mine out on this one because my daughter thought the floppy legs made it look like he was running fast!

Surprised, but pleased. Very tempted to grab some Lantern costumes to use with some old Tomland alien heads I have floating around for some generic GLs. Only thing I might want that I don't see are Zan and Jayna heads; I was considering getting an extra set to re-do the hair with more detail and use them on my custom versions.

66 Batgirl outfit available for $12 now. Woo hoo!

[TRDouble]

Wow. So all of the new series are now available as parts? Crazy! I would bite on a '66 RM Robin, but the outfit on one of mine is sewed wrong.

For those that are switching bodies and don't want the packaging, it seems cheaper to buy a wave as parts. I'm disappointed that I just dropped $30 locally on a second Super Powers Flash. The price is the same after shipping, but I could have easily added more to my order to adjust for that.

I may still get the RM Robin parts to make my own; I could re-use the body from The Flash I just bought (wait... darn... FF body... no go :( )

They really need to offer that longer '66 Batman Utility Belt.
