It's OK, some of them look awesome, but some not so much. This is my first ever purchase of FTC mego like figures. Some look so spot on it's scary and them some fall flat. But unless you want to hunt all the OG's down, it's worth the $. Still can't figure out why RC Batman and regular batman have capes made out of two different material.Comment

Wow! Thanks for the pictorial review, warlock! That really helps. Still not perfect, but not nearly as bad as first thought.
I think that the comparisons with the repro Spider-Man box (the taller of the two Marvels) are illustrative, since it's the same as the FTC version. I have it next to a real Mego box right now, and faux-Spidey's is just over a 1/4 inch shorter. If FTC had added that extra 1/4", the cutting-off-the-top-of-the-head issue wouldn't be one. But, as I said, still much better than it originally seemed.Last edited by rodkeith; Feb 13, '17, 5:15 PM.Comment

You have to do some futzing, unfold the top of the insert to give them more space, but overall I think they look great. I'm really glad they included the colored inserts, unlike EMCE with their Marvel figures. I purchased the set of 16 plus an extra display box. I filled it out with my set of 4 Solid Box Replicas (an Emerald City Comics exclusive), the EMCE Spidey and Cap retros, and an RC Batman and RM Robin in Emerald City Solid boxes.Comment
