Headless Horseman from Scooby Doo Question

[PNGwynne]

New question: is this figure on a fat body, having tights with suspenders?

[PNGwynne]

It's like a hat, not a replacement head. But I haven't seen before and after pix, either.

[Brown Bear]

Has ANYBODY bought the Headless Horseman?! I may have missed it but thought by now there'd be pics showing how that mask fits the head. Looks more like a hat.

I really want to LIKE this figure but the pics just look off to me.

Don't tell me what I know. To me the bodies are fine, the issue I have is 30 bucks for oversized heads on some figures and poor costume execution on others. Couldn't care less about your weight obsession. I've had breakage with the Castaway bodies and screws strip out after one rescrewing, so not so perfect either like you let on.

There is no comparison to the S-type and majority of people who have them know the greater difference between the two.

No rubber bands to deal with!
Better poseability!
Better plastic! (which makes a heavier figure. Yes,the feel (weight) of a figure matters as it doesn't feel cheap)
Costumes fit better on them vs the smaller FTC bodies
Extra hands (fists, grip hands) VS. the same standard usual "cup" hand that we almost get with every FTC figure.

I have never had a breakage with S-types.I customize a lot too So,Not sure what you are doing that you're breaking them.

The screws won't strip if you are using the proper screw driver.

And nothing is perfect! but there is no comparison trying to compare these bodies to each other

Agreed. If they could get the stringing of the body right, I would never have to replace them. And my restringing efforts have not been very successful.

I've used O Rings with success. All I keep is the shoulder metal hook and the hip pins. The rings are about the size of a dime.

That is just one of the reasons.It feels cheap and you know it.Don't pretend like you don't know....especially for the $29.99 plus shipping price tag.

It has nothing to do with it. China FTC is close to vintage Mego and those were seemingly "OK."

The "problem", even with heavier bodies like BBP/DM/EMCE, is in the too-tight stringing.

Don't know what the weight has to do with it at all.

the male bodies are fine, maybe you had bad luck or something. Since they switched from India the bodies have been much better. If I get one a little too tight I just replace the bands with 5 cents worth of o rings.

if you like featherweight plastic crap...I guess they are fine enough. Nah, the S-type has spoiled me and I won't except anything lesser than that

I think these figures are great, Im not that fussy like U Guys, the only thing that keeps me away, is the price. Nearly $40 is way too much......

exactly, over-priced for what you get....now if they gave us much better bodies,the price would be justified

[starsky]

Scooby figures are very tempting for sure,but then reality sets in and I then realize I have to spend more money and change the bodies out to make them good....

huge reason why i've stayed away from FTC.
