Not a big strange fan so I'm just gonna ask why is his face blue??

It's an old costume, but simply providing a head swap doesn't represent an effective approximation of the look. If they weren't going to go for a completely redone paint deco along with the new head sculpt, they should have just skipped the concept.

Thx. Thought it was some weird magic possession thing or something to that effect

No prob. As it relates to possession, Strange allows Zom to possess him during World War Hulk...and in another instance, he creates Paradox (whose costume does slightly resemble this early blue outfit) to stand in for him...but this fig is just a weak nod to his old look.

I feel like the original concept was a good one for what they had to work with then. I feel though that now with the new movie they need a new concept. The blue marvel is correct. A new head doesn't cut it. They should have skipped the concept. I really wish they would have put the effort into a new figure like the civil war vision or falcon or something.This just doesn't work. I even feel like the new Blue head sculpt is weak. It shows a lack of effort on their part.

Got the figure today from the German Disney Store.

Kind of strange.... it is nearly impossible to change the head to the classic Strange. Need to try,... but it is kind of hard and I dont like to broke something.

Anyway, overall a really nice figure.

Try heating it with hot water or blow dryer first, it'll come off and on easier.
