I can fix most of the problems, but the hair. No idea how to make the hair look styled and untangled. How does one do this. After giving this set another look, I am mostly pleased. I can see the thought and care put into creating this set, I think some of it was lost to costs and execution. Also, these bodies are strung way too tight. They are libel to start snapping as time passes.

I mailed mine back yesterday to FTC asking for a replacement. Hopefully I'll get one with better elbows. Trying to keep positive...Comment

I was told once that for a Barbie that had "played with" hair, the best option was Downy and water in a spray bottle.

What truth? You stated "it is what it is". Most people on this thread are unhappy with a product that is poorly made and want quality control or yes they will stop buying. Figures toy company monitors this board. If they don't, they are not smart. The prices have gone up and the shotty work is all over their products now. Here's another entry for your list.

All I am reading is a bunch of whining by certain people and their complaints are very valid as I never said they were not
but what I said is the truth and you know it.FTC is NOT going to change anything if they haven't by now
and What makes me the sucker? I buy it and FIX it! Some of you buy it and do nothing and keep coming back for more!Comment

It makes a difference. In the latest fist fighter wave, I bought three GL's, because the figure was done fairly well with a proportional head (and will likely get more when the standard body version comes out). I only bought one Manhunter from Mars because the head is so oversized, even though J'Onn is a favorite character of mine. Had he been done properly, I would have bought multiples. I likely would have gotten more multiples of Flash if the head was a little smaller. This is happening a lot with FTC; I would have gotten at least one extra Jimmy if the head was just a tad smaller, and same with Perry (who's more than just a tad big) or Alfred (who's ridiculously macroencephallic). On the other hand, they did a good job ob Korak, with a nice, proportionate head and a slightly smaller, shorter body, so, even though I'm not a big fan of the character, I bought more than one. And I'll likely pick up a couple extra Lois Lanes because the hairstyle is unique on a standard female head. With Batgirl, I would also have been tempted to get multiples, but the moment I saw the prototype, I balked, and am now glad I did.
From me alone, FTC has lost a LOT of sales, simply because I would buy multiples of good figures with an eye toward future customs; or sometimes because I like the character enough to want them in multiple displays. Batgirl would have been such a figure, but she turned out so badly I'm almost regretting getting the one I've got coming from Big Bad. On the other hand, Barbara turned out at least decently, and I'll likely get all three of the versions we'll be seeing of her. Had she been as bad as Batgirl, that wouldn't happen.Comment

I was hoping that when I saw pictures of the actual figure, that I would like her better, but the face still bothers me.
I may have to pass on her. :(Comment

Got a replacement Batgirl in the mail today. Elbows still loose but not cracked, so I'm accepting it as a design flaw. The hair doesn't look too bad this time around--not like a rat's nest as before.
At least FTC was quick about sending it back. The entire process was under a week.Comment
