    Reverse Flash is probably the rogue I wanted most, besides Mirror Master. But these identical sculpts for Flash and his arch enemy just don't work for me. That friendly smile on the man who killed Iris Allen? Guess I'll only get the figure if I can find a really good deal at some point. I'm only glad Boomerang and especially Trickster turned out so well. Flash himself is a pass since I already have the fistfighter. I still want a version with red hands but prefer the Mego-like card. Barry Allen is a must despite the recycled head. I guess FTC can't expect enough sales to justify an original sculpt in this case.

    Feel the same.

    Silver and Bronze Age Prof. Zoom/Reverse Flash has an emblem that is consistently the same direction as The Flash, but with alternate coloring. It's not a Bizarro motif.

    Reverse Flash emblem is supposed to be backwards the lightning should point opposite way than Flash emblem. Mezco got RF emblem right and villainous face and Mezco One:12 Reverse Flash (& Flash w/ Barry & Wally heads!) is better. They include attachable lightning for arms and legs and mini Tornado, Too!

    I am still getting FTC Flash Series 1. Flash is better with red hands not rubber gloves and new boots same as Super Friends Flash I believe. Boomerang and Trickster are excellent and I hope Rogues on card back get made, too and Others! Barry Allen was a nice surprise even if it is blonde Bruce Wayne head. Every new FTC figure needs a new head.

    Please, FTC show pics of Wonder Woman Series 1 and Cheetah next!

    Thanks for the pics, MIB41. I finally placed my order for the March figures last night; I was waiting for people to actually start receiving them. I held off on the Super-Friends Of Evil for now, but I ordered 8 others.

    I'm pretty excited for Reverse Flash, but it sucks that yours was covered in dirt. And that Space Ghost looks pretty bad. I agree that they need to step it up in the quality control department. I really appreciate FTC but they're not above criticism.

    Here's some quick shots of of the new batch of figures I got...

    Space Ghost - Pretty much as advertised. Head is a tad lose but mine stays in position if I move him around. No spinning. Wish they had designed that plug so the neck seated flush on the body. Would have made for a descent presentation. Head size? I guess it's all in how you interpret this one. Obviously they are going for that big neck look that is part of his iconic design so I always felt that would play havoc on the appearance. Ultimately I think it's a little big for what they got versus what they were aiming for. He has some fabric snags that I had to use a fuzz trimmer to work on. But because the fabric is so thin and fragile it came close to putting holes in his outfit, so I got frustrated with him real fast. They even had the suit stitched over part of the symbol so I had to take it off and carefully clip those threads in hopes it didn't destroy the outfit. It worked out but I was less than pleased at the sloppiness of it all. I agree he probably could have done without the boots. The cuffs are made of rubber and have the sleeves packed in them. The cape also has a wire running through it for creating different looks. In addition they put him on a black body which I guess was needed since the outfit doesn't come all the way up to the neck of the body (odd). So on this one I have to say buyer beware. I did waaaaay too much fixing on this guy.



    Reverse Flash is pretty much the regular Flash with head painted yellow and a turtle neck suit. They got the lightening bolt positioned good here. The back also reveals other villains coming in the line. Another example of snags and even dirt spots on this outfit. You can see the dirt spots in the pic. I tell you what...My enthusiasm is definitely softening. Quality control was definitely sloppy on these new ones.





    The last new one I received as Billy Batson. No complaints here. On a Titans body and pretty much everything in scale and a good likeness from the comic book. Note he also has a pull over shirt as opposed to the Velcro attachment typical in the back.







    I also got a Shaggy which is excellent. I think that one has been covered relatively well in photos so I left him off this post. Let me know if anyone wants shots of him though and I'll be happy to supply them. I batted about 50% here. I had two perfectly good figures and then another two with enough issues I felt like I overpaid for the QC that was lacking in them. And I'm at the point now where it's too much of a hassle to return figures unless they are truly fried. So I definitely feel like I had to settle for a little less this time.

    I wonder if the Type S would fix that. It has of some of my wobbly wonders. And it might feel out the suit better too.

    Man, we need some pictures!!!!

    Today in mail I got:

    Scooby Doo 1 Fred, Daphne and Shaggy! Very Cartoony! Will get Scooby Doo and Velma next then ghosts/ monsters.

    Teen Titans 7" Robin- head is a tad big but he looks terrific with original Mego TT to complete Fab 5! Will get other TT later.

    Billy Batson- pure CC Beck art come to Life! Glad he's 7"! Displays marvelously with Shazam series 1! Bring on Wizard Shazam, Black Adam, Mr Tawny Tawny and Uncle Dudley!

    Batman 5 Batgirl, Catwoman, and Two Face. Perfect except bat heads on Batgirl boots are labels glued on her bodysuit. Wish Two Face scarred eyed was bulging. Catwoman is flawless her classic costume I wish Mego had made. Even though Poison Ivy has red hair she still has Daisy Duke head and I will not buy her.

    Space Ghost! Head is big but passes. White boots are not necessary. Will buy Jace, Jan, and BLIP 3-pack Soon!

    Now I have to get 5 Super Enemies, 5 Flash 1 figures, Wendy and Marvin (better make Wonder Dog with Scooby Doo body!), rest of Teen Titans, Space Ghost 3 pack, and maybe Johnny Quest.

    Really want Wonder Woman Series 1 and remaining Legion of Doom and Super Powers 4!

    2017 will be FTC'S biggest year yet!

    got my sets today, sorry I don't know how to post pics. Mary marvel and green catwoman are "commando" so glad I got spare white bottoms in my mego spares box. Space ghost head is loose, they need to address that.im glad Freddy Freeman's outfit fits the 7 inch body and is not baggy.I black sharpeed around the eyes of reverse flash to give him a more evil look.catwoman and batgirl's headsculpts are nice and nicely sized. Space ghost is a little baggy in the pants area. Captain boomerang's boots are strange. I'm very pleased, last one still to open is two face.

    Any idea where my thread on the new Batman exclusives went? I assume it got merged into another thread about them but I can't find it.

    Also... Pics of Space Ghost?

    Got Batman Series 5 Catwoman and Space Ghost today. Love both of them. The boots were not necessary on Space Ghost but they don't bother me. Batman Series 5 Batgirl should be here tomorrow.
