Looks like Spidey is Swinging our way.

NECA bodies a A+ Solid! outfits and weapons are great! It's a shame NECA is not doing MARVEL,STARWARS,GI JOE,and WALKING DEAD

A point well made by you and Barrett
The detail is also there as well - no issues with them from my end.

Speaking of NECA...
How are they putting out awesome figures without the typical complaints that we hear about FTC, BBP, etc.?

I will support NO MORE remakes of any toys! I think the new FTC DC remade figures have crappy, loose fitting clothes that look terrible. The new figures all suck compared to the originals. NOBODY HAS REMADE ANYTHING TO MATCH THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINALS. All the repro "Mego" bodies have issues that the originals didn't have. They aren't manufactured the same. They need to stop making junk!

I think you have to take the good and the bad with everything:
1) I liked the EMCE Trek Figures - I Had No issues with them. And price point was fantastic! Got most of these for less than 10.00 per figure. I ditched my loose incomplete figures and got a nice shinny new set for display.
2)The DC Remakes from CTV - are good cheap replacements if your just buying figures for display. Much better to pay 25.00 a figure than to pay 50-70 for a loose figure that is incomplete and not mint or all original. If you had to piece ot that figure in reproduction parts: Head 5, cape 5, belt 5, sticker and boots 5, gloves 5 and a body 5 to 10. So even if you don't like the CTV body - you could put him on a type s. now you have a perfect display figure on the perfect body for 35.00. For the average guy who can't afford Minty originals this is still a great deal.
3) all of these re-megos have lead to some good things: like new parts on doc and ctv sites, the type s body!!, the new figures Neca is making, the 66 batman figures. So like I said you have to take the good with the bad. For the most part the re-megos have done more good than harm.

Again - I hope the marvel line makes it through. All of these companies have had some flaws - but for the most part they seem to fix them. and if they dont we will
But rather see these items being made than not being made at all.

TRUTH....

[EMCE Hammer]

I think the Diamond/EMCE Trek and POTA are awfully darn close. If you factor in the improvements Paul made to the knee pins, they're neck and neck for my purposes.

Famous Covers did suck. But they were cheap enough to excuse the flaws. $15 is quite cheaper than $80. I had them all. They didn't have to be "pre-ordered", and you could see them before buying.
I think the figures should stop being made by CHINA!!! Supporting China is stupid. Make them in the United States!!!!

some good points. - yes you could pick them up and see them/ touch them before buying. and yes 15 is always better than 80.00

I had no issue with the Famous covers - at first I was real happy with them.

As they were "Mego-Like" really wish they were made in the correct Mego size or scale.

Later on I just did not feel the same about them because they were NOT mego size or scale. So I sold or I'm still selling off the ones I have left.

I really hope you guys post some good pics later of Spidy. and all hope is still not lost if it is bad. Just means they have to fix those problems before the next figure is made.
Really want the Marvel line to do well. Would really love all of the originals to be re-made - along with others never made.

PS: Famous Covers sucked.

Famous Covers sucked so bad it got 5 waves and store exclusives...obviously customers bought them

[DSTZach]

My Famous Covers Spidey has been around the block a bit.

Famous Covers were great from the neck down; too bad they were an inch too tall.

I am reserving judgement until I have a set in hand. I'll be surprised if I can't tweak them to my liking. I hope that the proto Peter sculpt is just hiding under the paint app.

[jayraytee]

Yes, an accurate review would be nice. I am reserving judgement until I hold my set. For those that are championing FTC, remember when that line started, the bodies were strung too tight, arms fell off in the packages, heads are often too big, the female bodies are defective, etc. The ZICA/Castaway Action Jackson also had production issues from China. All of these lines will have their issues, the question is do they accept them or improve?

I'm hoping for some clear pics from one of our fine Museum members soon!
