Wonder Woman Superfriends

[jeffbearco]

If the female figures are going to be out of scale, they should at least fix the eye paint on the Sue Richards head so we can switch them out without Zombie Eyes.

Losing hope for the eventual Wonder Woman line before even seeing it.

But the point is...they are consistent....My 66 Batman ALL have the same sized heads.

I get your point and noted it in my post, you're choosing to overlook my perspective.

BUT, I'm just razzing you a bit, hence the "lol", not trying to start a flaming debate. Truce.

My Mego Hulk and Thing never blended very well with my other WGSH figures back in the 70s, but I didn't get too fussed about it.

[Teemu]

lol Yeah, consistently too big.

Regarding their Mego copies, the slightly smaller size from the originals is because original heads were used as molding prototypes. and there was a bit of shrinkage in the process.

Consistency across a line is laudable, but speaking for myself and some others here, we were hoping FTC originals would blend better with vintage Mego. for over-all display.

But that ship has sailed... In general, I'd like heads to be scaled for the body that supports them.

It's funny,everybody complains about the size of the heads and yet FTC heads are consistent with each other.My 66 Batman collection heads are all the same size...again,head size is consistent there. Superfriends Heads have been consistently the same size

When you look at FTC re-mego's, the heads are smaller and yet still consistent with each other.

It seems when FTC makes "NEW" figures (like 66 Batman/SF's(,the heads are ALL ONE of the same size- So while the heads may be bigger than your typical mego re-make,they are consistent at least.

I like the Mattel RAH version better.

[warlock664]

Yes, really .
I'm mostly fine with this, considering I'll be paying $22.50 shipped for it from Toycade. Would I like the head to be smaller, the body better proportioned, and the costume better fitting? Sure, but that's part of the charm of the retro-Mego figures to me. I found plenty of faults with the original WGSH when I was 10, but I still loved 'em.
I collect high-end 1:6 figures as well (Hot Toys, etc), and understandably I am much less forgiving when paying $200+. These don't seem out of place compared to classic Megos.

Really? That is a sloppy mess. It looks cheap all the way around. Eyes painted poorly, bracelets flimsy, and the key to the figure... The costume... Ugh. I'll buy the head for customs..

[Krypt0nite]

Her head is almost as big as her body! Pass.

[warlock664]

Yep, I love this line, can't wait !

[palitoy]

i can't wait.

[drogge]

and another bobblehead. yeesh.

The head isn't that bad, I know the pic I took makes it look huge but I think it is actually in scale and the overall figure looks great. And I have to say the big heads have been one of my biggest complaints.

[jeffbearco]

I'm wondering if this will be the same "Farrow" sculpt that they use for the Wonder Woman wave, only with a different paint app. The heavy black lines everywhere are OK for Super Friends since that is how they were drawn, but would suck in a more normal figure.

I wouldn't be too surprised.

I have ordered one from Toycade and already have a Cheetah to sacrifice for a better body.
