    The Hulk was the BEST hulk I have ever seen. face was a little blah.

    People have mentioned FC when I ask about putting more expression on figures faces. Constipated screaming is not an expression.

    I had them all.

    Hulk is the only one I kept.

    Some sucked and some were awesome. Now let's see them come out 8" and with better bodies.

    I liked Storm, Invisible Woman, Wanda.
    Psylocke, on the other hand, looks awful. Off with'er head!

    The only one I ever owned was Dare Devil. I got him for 6 bucks at Target on clearance during a trip to Buffalo. They were kinda cool though. The only change I made to him was painting his hands red and tossing the gloves.

    Couldn't have described it any better.

    Agreed !

    The only thing I really dislike is some of the female face sculpts,
    Again , my thought exzactly.

    I don't collect them, I reshape them to my own vision.

    Hello, my name is Shane... and I collect Famous Cover figures.

    Therapy is good for the soul.

    I really like FC's. I LOVED Megos when I was a kid, but when I started customizing the FC's were a dime-a-dozen at any KB toys. I always say that if I would've know that Mego bits-and-pieces were so readily available i would have customized those instead, but I don't know.

    I really prefer FC's articulation. I like the slightly bigger size. The "store-bought" FC's had such a wider range of characters, females, heroes and villians. No monster, which is regretable.

    FC's are like the Rob Liefeld of cloth-dressed action figures. Everybody loves to hate on them. I do notice that an AWFUL lot of FC pieces wind up on Mego bodies and the most often "altered" mego body seem to beef them up.

    Again, I even acknowledge that the hasbro 9 inchers are a better quality of figure (I think Green Lantern is probably the best doll I own)but, again, when I started customizing these were really hard to find.

    Oh, ebay how is it that you can ruin my life and make it better at the same time.

    I would love to start an Famous Covers site.

    I like that description. I like to think I've made that my primary goal for more than half my life with Mego's, Gabriel Lone Ranger, Big Jims, GI Joe A Team, AHI monsters and so many more. Now that I think about it...uh...I need a bail out.
