    I saw images of the Martian Manhunter figure and his legs look to be a different green than the rest of him. Is that the case for those that have received him?

    I'm with you hoping that they do a whole Green Lantern Corps line. We need a Killowog!

    I'd love some more GL's. Tomar Re, Katma Tui, Arkis Chummuck, Arisia, Hollicka Rahn, there's a bunch of humanoid GL's that would be easy to do in Mego style. Even guys like Medaphyl would need only unique gloves and boots along with a standard body, and fit perfectly with the style used for Hal. Some like Gallius Zed would be problematical, as they'd require a distinct and likely hard to re-use mold, but there's still a lot of potential. And with word that FTC is working on a big body, Kilowog shouldn't pose a big problem, either.

    Agreed! That and others from the GLC would be a great addition!

    I think Flash will be available on a regular body when Flash Series 1 comes out this year. But I don't know if the others will be.

    I got my Super Powers 3 set today and I love all of them! Very Megoey and colorful! Costumes and heads are perfect! Had to pair Barry with Wally, Hal with Ollie (need Black Canary!) and J'onn with Supergirl (see TV) I have wanted Mego Flash, GL, and Plas since their 1970s cartoons!

    A few nitpicks J'onn's head is big, wish Flash's hands were painted red for alternative, Hal needs his lantern which his left hand looks sculpted to hold, and Plastic Man does not have toes. And why wasn't BABY PLAS included with his daddy? lol

    Flash is getting his own line so he may have red hands there. And I'm sure there will be a Green Lantern (Corps) line where lanterns can be included.

    I want more Super Powers like Hawkman, Dr. Fate, and Firestorm pictured on card back! And on recent 2-packs Atom, Red Tornado, etc! I want entire Satellite JLA!

    These take me back to 1980s Kenner Super Powers, too!

    Want more FTC Super FRIENDS and Legion of Doom, also!

    Just received my Super Powers Wave 3 set! Wow, just wow! Love them! Flash & Green Lantern have superior headsculpts and outfits than the Mattel Retro Action counterparts. The Martian Manhunter doesn't top the retro action version, but ain't that bad. I'll probably transplant to a buffier body (i.e. ZICA Buck Rogers) and sew him a green outfit. Plastic Man is just a flesh/tan outfit away from perfection! Can't wait for wave 4.

    I'll post pics over the weekend if someone doesn't before.

    Plastic Man was the first figure I have purchased from FTC (and the first new Megoey figure I have purchased in 40+ years). I thought he was pretty well done. Like the bright colors and head sculpt. The only quality control problem I had was the head was very loose on the body which I have fixed. I would have liked the belt to be less saggy, but I can fix that as well. Based on Plas, when the line gets further into some of the lesser known Justice Leaguers hopefully the Justice Society, FTC will be getting more of my money!

    I just recieved Super powers series #3. and their great .The colors are vibrant ,if these were sold at retail they would POP! ,attention . the my favorite martian figure is nice.and
    although his heads a bit large-looks a bit like an angry granny smith apple ,i like this guy,i also like the mattel retro figure ,but its kinda hard to figure which one that
    would have been what mego would have done .Plastic man is really neat ,i read his comic back in the day -funny ,love the figure .As a kid a i always wondered -Where
    is Flash ,green lantern & Daredevil ?.I also liked the mattel figures ,but these are what mego would have done ,Flashs head is a pinch to large,but not as obvious as alfred
    was .mego would not have used the Bats 66 gloves idea of course on Green Lantern ,perhaps just white hand/fist .The sculpt on Hal is far better then mattel,as with the
    boots,suit etc.All four have nice likeness.Ill be getting the standard body versions when they come out as part of justice league # 2,or will be offered in another DC line.nice
    to have these mego like Flash & Green lantern figures and soon from Diamond /emce Daredevil that i always needed as a kid .The only Damn problem is no time
    machine to send them back to that kid in the back yard with his heros,apes & trek figures.

    I like the Mattel Manhunter head well enough--could that be put on a FTC body? Are the green shades compatible?

    I may still try to pick up odd parts and clothes from them, but for now I think I'm ordering their figures from Toycade through ebay. They don't charge shipping. I have not had to return anything to them yet, so I don't know how their customer service is yet. But FTC has ****ed me off once too often on shipping lately.

    Toycade referred me to FTC customer service.

    Any notice how rough the molding is on the Martian Manhunter head, a piece of the cheeck in missing as well , I can almost see how the clay was molded. It does not polished or professional done. Was this intentional?
