      They look great!

      You cannot beat that classic Catwoman costume, although, I will take them all.

      SF Green Lantern... They nailed the reference art open mouth look! Actually, Hal probably looks too happy, LOL! But the teeth showing and/or happy look is how I remember the SFs. It loks great on Hal, and would have looked great on Aquaman too.

          My only minor quibble is GL was more tan on SF. He was from California, after all!

          The very nice DC Direct SF figure left out the tan as well.

            GOOD JOB FTC!!!!

            I see these two figure's prototypes & it makes me wish they could all be this great! It makes me wish all the figures retained the 70s Mego feel like these 2 do!

            Green Lantern - looks GREAT! Only minor nitpick has been mentioned, that he should be even tanner...but maybe he will be in his final release. Only problem, I love this figure but some of the main cast seems so off to me that I'm not sold on collecting this whole line, & I'm always all or nothing on these kind of specific lines. I wish Aquaman looked somehow different, & Superman I just can't get over as SF Supes. So GL does tip the scales in favor of wanting this line! Hope all remaining SF & LoD characters retain this scale of resemblance to the source!

            CATWOMAN! - I am impressed! I know the dress will fit purrfectly fine on the production fig, as the protos always sport baggy duds!

            1. I hope Catwoman will sport full black female boots & FTC can cast them in Red & Yellow to purchase for their WGH Batgirl & Wonder Woman, as their boots came up a little....short. So hope they don't use the short black IG boots here!

            2. I hope FTC puts flesh stocking/leggings on here, it will make her legs look more natural & Mego-y!

            3. Hope they add a whip & wouldn't mind if they found some old stock of those bags of 5 plastic cats they used to sell. Regret not getting them when they had them now!

            So the only nitpick I find with Catwoman is the same with many of the Farrow's New female sculpts.... "dat Jaw tho"! I always loved the megomuseum's description of Mego's Invisible Girl....something like "Hell of a Jaw on her" & something about drinking Scotch. LOL! I always think of that when I see a big jawed lady revealed! Can't help it I'd presume! Mego had IG, Lt. Uhura & Daisy Duke rocking big jaws & FTC has Daisy Duke, 66 Batgirl, SF WW, & now SA Catwoman albeit much less pronounced thankfully!

            This is the first FTC MUST Have NOW in forever for me! Good Job FTC!

                I think these two releases look great! I'd tweak Catwoman's cape a bit, but that's just me.

                        I'm glad that there is at least ONE female head that is in scale with the body. The expression is very friendly, and the paint job on the eyes is great! It is SO much better than the IG heads with the too pale zombie eyes.

                        The dress, from what I can see, actually FITS the figure well. A remarkable improvement over the saggy baggy bits of cloth they usually put on one of these figures. Even GL's outfit looks good. Everyone else looks like they are wearing Doctor Denton's pajamas.

                        My only quibble is the Uhura boots. Catwoman should be wearing the spike heels like in the illustration. I know that the spike heel boots for the teen girls will actually fit onto the 8 inch female, so why not use those? Or make spike heels in that scale?

                        I'd also like to see that sculpt sans mask, but I will wait until I actually see the figure.

                          Both of these are incredibly awesome. Kudos to FTC.

                            I don't think the cowl is removable, the hair seems rooted at the back of the head. Perhaps we'll see a new Batgirl handled similarly.

                              I meant a head without the mask period. I don't think it would look goid with a removable mask.

                                I love that they did the vintage Catwoman... I always thought that was the Catwoman that Mego "should have done". The mix of sculpt and rooted on the hair is cool too.
