      It being carded makes it official?

      The figure parts exist which make it official,you just have to make it.

        Teemu, yes a carded release from FTC would make it official. Buying the parts and making it yourself would qualify it as a custom.

          that makes no sense because they sell 66 batman figures (and others) in baggies...does that mean they are "unofficial" pieces now?

          FTC will do EXACTLY that...they will Cobble the current pieces available and make a card for it...

          If you want a "variant" Alfred Batman...it's available NOW!

            That is incorrect, but you're free to think as you will.
            Until FTC "cobbles" together the pieces and releases it themselves, anyone else who does so owns a custom figure.
            Using your logic, I could put a Dick Grayson head on a Batgirl body, and since all the parts were available from FTC it's an "official variant".
            And your bagged figure argument is flawed as well, as those are officially released versions, just without the card and clamshell.

              Interested in all of the characters, but not the variants either. May make an exception on that removable cowl Batman, though...

                ALL of FTC figures have become "customs" and that is exactly what FTC does (cobble parts to produce variants) see the pathetic 66 batman laying on a table ....So also if we change out a body, it's now a custom?

                This "official" must be carded crap is nonsense and none of FTC will ever be worth anything in the future (especially to a generation that could care less about 8" mego dollies)

                Now,If you want tranny Dick grayson,go ahead.The point is, the parts exist to make a 66 Batman Alfred in Batman disquise RIGHT NOW! on your own! It doesn't need to be "official" to be made

                  I never intended to buy more than four or so characters, I think I'm up to 9. Well played FTC.....

                      disagree! besides,Customs are Better than "official" pieces anyway

                      Why? because there is more quality and care put into them

                        Quick question on the Alfred argument, does the removable cowl Batman mask, fit properly on an
                        Alfred head? just curious.

                          My guess would be no, because of the shape of Alfreds hair. It would probably work better with a cloth cowl.

                            You are correct. I just tried it. The cowl does not fit properly on Alfred's head. It sits a lil' too high, because of the hair and the cowl is also too small. (Alfred head was stretching Batman cowl.) I took the cowl off immediate for fear it would remain stretched and ended up looking like a helmet. ( I don't know why, but I keep wanting to buy another removable cowl Batman.) (CTVT did a great job on this figure.) Just FYI, Toycade has this fantastic figure on sale for $25.60 right now. I paid $29-ish for it

                              So if FTC decides to do a 66 Alfred Batman, the head would have to be shrunk or the cowl would
                              have to be altered? my guess is they wouldn't bother with either, but if enough requests are made?????

                              I would rather see them come out with vehicles, a 66 Batmobile and Batgirl cycle.

                                Buy it! It is one of my favorite.....especially after transplanting him onto the Type S body. (I'm gonna get another head from CTVT and try and make 'em into a 1939-ish Batman.)
