Love that picture, great line-up of super arch criminals, don't see King Tut? Egyptian holiday?
now all we need to add is Catwoman.

King Tut is the next shelf Hoping to finish filling it up with Catwoman and False Face

Beautiful collection!!!.....Were the male characters (costumes) hard to fit into the Type-S body?

not for me they weren't, other than King Tut.King Tut took some special manuevering because of his costume design.Batman,Robin,Freeze you had to transfer the ball pins for the gloves/boots which is easy.

I would say the majority of them were pretty easy to re-dress with the new body..

In person, I like the figure. Still going to make a few tweaks and I'm thankful I live with someone who curls doll hair on a daily basis.

I also am impressed with the RC Batman in this wave. He seems to be overshadowed in "Batgirl-Gate"

I finally took my Batgirl out of her packaging last night. For the most part, she is a great figure. I think the issue is that people have waited for this figure for so long that anything less than perfection would never be a 100% success. I wonder how the "make yourself a figure" of her in the cowl would have turned out.

Anyway, people were so caught up on perfection that they are missing out on what is a pretty solid B figure for the line. Not A, but not really C either.

I do plan on making tweaks like everybody else, but she is a solid figure that ties into the line well.

Thanks..here is another shot after I added Mr Freeze's Freeze gun hose

Teemu, I'm curious to know where you got the Freeze gun accessory along with the Riddler cane and Penguin umbrella. These figures really should have come with their signature accessories and look so much better with them.

BTW, I really like your display.

Forgive me to bringing this thread back to life. Yesterday I received 3 figures I ordered from Toycade from the current Batman 1966 wave. I decided not to purchase the RC BW/Batman because it's simply a figure I can do without as I foresee a time when I can probably purchase just the RC (removable cowl) separately. Had the head sculpt been different from what has been offered it'd have given me incentive to buy it again like I did with Mad/Angry Batman variant. Otherwise it's the same sculpt I have of Adam West from that BW figure dressed as Batman.

I'm very happy with my Batgirl. I'm not about to do body swaps again, it's too expensive and I wonder if that aspect ruined the hobby of reMego for some folks who may have sworn off buying 1:9 figures ever again. I've already been-there-done-that with the male Mattel figures back in the day when I switched everything over to CAW. It's too dang expensive.

I've not a single complaint Chief O'Hara. He's another great example from the type of quality we've come to expect from this line. Spot on likeness. As with all my male Batman 1966 figures, none have flaws. Maybe I'm lucky. Knock on wood, thus far no broken parts, good paint apps, and super nice tailoring.

My Batgirl 1966 is sweet. The only thing I'm troubleshooting with her is trying to fit her belt at the hips. If only the belt were longer I wouldn't need to touch a thing. I bought some clear velcro and will try to carefully and gently modify the belt in the hopes of hiding the fix and hopefully that won't cause any unforeseen damage to her costume or cape.

My Barabara Gordon figure is the only thing I'm bummed about and it's solely because the figure is defective. First, one of her eyes was poorly painted. I think I could fix it with a toothpick size dot to create a pupil in one eye. I haven't done anything just yet as I've already contacted Toycade about how to proceed with an exchange for a more serious problem. If Toycade tells me I have to call FTC for exchanges then so be it. Anyway, my B.G. had stiff knees. I fixed one leg by soaking in hot water from my household water cooler. The other leg got the same treatment, but the glue or whatever still won't allow it to budge. The stiff knee has turned slightly white from the stress of my gently, but firmly attempt to try to bend, and then there's a split on her thigh happening now. Had the legs had no issues I'd never request an exchange.

Beyond that, I am truly happy with FTC's work on this Batman 1966 series!. I hope to eventually buy the Monkees, HP, JLA, and Superfriend series. Any one else like me, that thinks Plastic Man ought to be a cheaper figure due to his limited wardrobe? I don't plan to buy a polybagged version, but that figures should cost less than ones that require more material, you know?

I received my 1966 Batman Wave 3 figures last week. I haven't taken them out of the package yet, but I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw with Batgirl in the package. She was much better than I anticipated. Sometimes pictures do not do a figure justice.

pictures don't do her justice and with a body swap and repainted belt,she is even better..

If people are not happy with their figures,improve them and make them better.I do it all the time

I bookmarked the link, thanks. I saw those accessory example on FaceBook, but wasn't aware there was a store.

I agree Teemu....i do it all the time too..just check out my updated Batgirl, hair cut and flipped, belt extended to go lower, glued ball joint (upside down) of waist to upper torso, rerooted hair to the sides of the cowl, adjusted front of cape to be more TV accurate along with yellow painted pouches on belt, applied Elmers glue to elbow joints for poseability,...and VUOLA!

That looks great, captact, but people need to also remember that not everyone has the skills to do what you did here. I certainly don't. That's why it's so important for companies like FTC to get it close to right without modification. Because making the figure better is not always an option.

[captact]

Youre absolutely right on that TRDouble...when you buy a figure as high priced as this one,..you expect not to go through any troubles in altering a figure to improve it.....but just couldnt see her looking like she did when she arrived.....
