The jacket on that Gwen looks to be Civil War Scarlet Witch's jacket. This information does nothing to narrow speculation since both Hasbro and customizers reuse parts.

Yeah, the jacket was reused with Elsa, which is just stronger proof that it may be a custom after all.

i think hasbro would have re-used that spider-gwen alternate head for her

[redfox]

Here's a WIP of a "No Paint" Gwen Stacy that I have been slowly working on. Just need an extra Vintage Widow for the torso and the upcoming Gwenpool for the upper legs.
It currently looks very similar to the other pic, sans head. That's due to it being on the Elsa base body. The black and white filter on the original pic helps hide that fact, and let your mind fill in the blanks.

Too small.

Anyway, just because it has reused parts doesn't mean it is a custom.

Everybody has made a great case for it being a custom through identifying the parts, but I'm gonna agree with Kain here and play devil's advocate to say that reused parts (and headsculpts for that matter) mean absolutely nothing. Hasbro's been doing it for years, and even more egregiously as of late. Sharon Carter, the recent vintage Black Widow, Hydra Brute, and the upcoming Jewel all reuse parts right down to the headsculpts, with other examples of kitbashing being almost too daunting of a task to count. Also, having trigger finger hands means nothing in terms of proof of custom work. Hasbro has been getting trigger finger hands wrong for a LONG time, constantly giving them to characters that don't need them (Batroc for example) and omitting them from characters that do (Punisher).

While the filter could be a giveaway that it is a custom, remember that Hasbro has also used filters in reveals as well. The upcoming Thanos, as well as Shuri and Klaw also had black and white filters with effects to hide paintwork and reveals.

Could be a clever custom and an epic fakeout, but it would not surprise me if we actually got this or something close to it should Hasbro release a Gwen in the near future, which I think thanks to the MJ two pack's popularity will only be a matter of time from now.

Hasbro reusing parts?? Never. lol. As for the two pack suggestion....More civilian two packs please. I would buy (even in my current state) a Professor X Moria MacTaggert two pack in a heart beat. Even half of a heartbeat. Probably Wolverine and Mariko as well...

Has anyone picked up the Vintage Wave Punisher? I got mine yesterday and his hands don't have any trigger fingers. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm hoping that the fingers just have too much paint on them. And before anyone asks, no it wasn't swapped out because you can't open the packaging without ruining it and I pulled the figure from a sealed case.

My Bullseye's left gun-hand has the trigger finger locked to the others. I don't know for sure what caused this (if it's excess paint or plastic) but something similar may have happened with your vintage Punisher.

The fig I purchased is apparently right handed given the lack of a trigger-finger on its left hand.

Half. And. Ass.

Not that you asked - the paint apps are great; the redeco'ed bandanna'ed head looks excellent and doesn't suffer from the 'stoned' look the original sported...

After grabbing a few Hydra sets, I was slightly irritated by the lack of trigger-finger(s) on the brutes...additionally, it was mildly annoying to note the minor differences between the new and old hydra grunts. Unpainted noses, shoulder insignias, etc...

I bought one but he had two left boots, so I returned him. Only his right hand had a trigger finger, not his left.

BTW, I second the idea mentioned above for a Prof X/Moira two pack. Or if not Moira, Gabby.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who has this problem.

Have you ever tried to get the trigger finger free with an exacto knife?

On my Walgreens Punisher, I never had any problems with the bandanna head but I always thought the plain head looked drunk.

Haven't bothered trying since his right hand holds the gun just fine.

I did see it, and I know what you're getting at, but it was on her back at one point during the big final battle.

Anyway there's a small hole on the sheath that indicates it could have been attached somewhere, it just doesn't. It's not the best sword, anyway, I may just forgo it and find her a nice gatling gun to use instead (fits this version of Valkyrie better, anyway).

Could I just have the Valkyrie figure now, please? Not Thor, just Valkyrie. She was fan-friggin-tastic.

It would be nice if we could get her Valkyrie costume as a single figure release. She and Hela were my favourite performances in the film.

[hasbroherofan]

A poster on Youtube claims that we might get some 10 Anniversary MCU Legends similar to the Vintage series, covering characters who are missing. This could potentially include some fan-requested ones like Yellowjacket, Quicksilver, Crossbones and Ronan.

(he talks about it about 16 minutes in).

Grain of salt but I'd be all for it if true.

I don't remember the sword being on her back in the movie. I know in some of the promo shots it is.

I'm not sure those holes on the sheath really mean anything. Toys that are hollow in the middle like ML Doc Ock's bendable arms have holes in them. I would assume that it's part of the manufacturing process

It was amazing. Just as good as the first Thor movie (which was already excellent). Hela and Grandmaster are the villains and both were stellar, especially the Grandmaster who Jeff Goldblum nailed in his performance. I want a movie just on him now.

"UPDATE: Hasbro just sent word that the Black Knight figure shown this past weekend at the London Comic Con is actually part of a second wave of Avengers figures coming in 2018 and not part of the first wave which will include the Songbird, Classic Taskmaster and King Cobra as previously reported."

"We have gotten word that it was announced during the London Comic Con that the upcoming 6" Marvel Legends Black Knight figure which debuted there would include an alternate head sculpt featuring Nathan Garrett, who was the original Black Knight and a bad guy. We did some checking and were told multiple heads were sculpted for the figure but could not get a firm confirmation that the Garrett one did in fact make the final cut and be released with the figure, however if it was mentioned at the London Comic Con, we are going to assume it probably did. We will know 100% for sure once Hasbro gets around to releasing packaged images for the figure."
