#MMFTCNEWS Batman Wave 5

[Figure8]

I agree with the majority here. Catwoman is a winner and I'll put Two-Face on my want-list, too. Mattel made a nice Two-Face, but I can't seem to find that figure for a reasonable price. I like the updated Batgirl-suit, but the sculpt is a definite deal-breaker. FTC meant well with Ivy, I think. Scarecrow is one of their best figures, but he has almost too much detail for a 'Mego'. With Ivy it just doesn't work. They should have used a screened suit and, as someone already pointed out, the Invisible Girl head would have suited the character better.

This one could work too,I think. http://www.classictvtoys.com/femaleb...hhead-1-1.aspx

I was actually hoping they would do fishnets for Poison Ivy. Had they done green fishnets they would have been ready to sell them in different colors to get a good Black Canary and Zatanna!

And I agree that Mary Marvel's head would have been a lot better match for PI.

Or even the generic red head female head they have. DD is just one of the UGLIEST sculpts I've ever seen.

I like the looks of Series 5. What's the release date? Spring 2017?

That is the head I used for my custom Ivy I did almost 4 years ago.

I haven't purchased anything since the first superfriends wave and I am done. They continue to ignore the problems with their product and churn out garbage.

Scary how much better that custom Ivy looks than the FTC product. And that doesn't look like a million dollar custom (no offense intended) it looks like something that could just be put together with a little skill and effort. It nails the Mego look perfect for Ivy. While the FTC one is just a big whiff.

I agree that this looks great, and much preferable to the official version, as it stands.

They probably would have saved a lot of money.....and had an easier time selling them with that generic red head....it doesn't make sense

[JediJaida]

You're expecting FTC to make sense???

All kidding aside, I have to wonder just what is going through their minds when it comes to these godawful female sculpts. It looks NOTHING like Catherine Bach.

Couldn't agree more. You know my opinion on the FTC females. Looking at all the female figures I have purchased from them, every single one of their "new" female sculpts are "wierd" at best. There are only two of their original sculpts, IMHO, that even comes close to being acceptable AND looking like females and those are the Barbara Gordon head and the SF WW head. And even those, when viewed from the side, are flat and misshapen. And lantern-jawed.

That being said, I have beat this horse dead on numerous other threads here so I will just leave it at that.
