    They eyeholes in the mask they offer are too teeny. They need to be enlarged so that you can see the characters eyes, fer goshsakes!

        I was thinking Zatanna.

        It looks to be sculpted & molded differently than the vinatge Wizard's hat.

          Great news! Glad to see that they are getting in more new items. I have been placing orders with them for some time.

          Each time I placed an order I always left a brief message in the comments field to add more new stuff. Looks like the are actually listening.

          I was getting a bit concerned about them after placing my last order. I must have hit them pretty hard on the body suits. I bought out a lot of their stock and then they doubled the prices on the remainder of their stock the next day.

          That is supply in demand I suppose.

            As a customizer it's always nice to see a company doing new stuff, but grey and blue suits aren't new. Looking at the tie alone, it certainly doesn't appear to be near the quality of Doc's suits. Why copy someone else's repro items. Develop your own. A lime green suit would have made a killer custom Riddler and probably out sold the grey or blue. If you're gonna do the SWAT hats why not do them in blue as well as black? Even if you alter the shade slightly to differentiate between original LJN and the new ones. There's always a need for a replacement for an original figure. Always felt CTVT had a significant lack of vision in their designs. They could have done so much more for customizing with the amount of money they spent than they did.

                      LOL!! Yep...Guilty as charged. Good to see and hear from you my friend.

                      If in the future you should need any CTVT items that were sold out just send me a PM. I "might" be able to help you out.

                      I can't get enough of that funky stuff. Something told me that their stock had to be getting fairly low on some things. So I made sure to stock up while the getting was good.

                          I am doing fine as a frog hair split four ways. Now that is pretty fine.

                          I may take the MM in small doses at times, but the cool peeps like you as well as others here keeps me coming back again and again.

                            I know exactly what you mean, but... the irony of that sentence made me laugh.

                              I like that the stuff is so affordable.
                              Sure we need fat bodies but they can be made with A torso from CTTV and castaway or EMCE parts.

                              Very glad to get some M16s cheap.
                              I'd love to see a riddler suit and a more "staples". Star Trek Stools and computers. Generic lasers and swords etc. Helmets.
                              No reason why not.
                              I see the Monster and Bradies are going up. I cant believe I regret not buying a Ghost earlier.
                              Someone said that Fearsome Ghost was badsed on an old film but I couldnt find any screen shots.
