It depends on what type of poses you are putting him into. I've got Shadowcat grappling herself around his arm with his legs spread apart and he stands just fine.

EDIT: Man, I have to say that heads for Banshee are beautifully sculpted and painted. It is weird that they didn't have the same look for both heads, as his screaming head is more representative of how he looked in the early Claremont stuff and towards the end while his closed mouth head with the sideburns (or whatever they are called) was from when he lost his sonic abilities after the fight with Moses Magnum.

I wonder if this means when they do get to the Cockrum Banshee if they're going to give us a standard head that matches the screaming one.

That Psylocke portrait is freaking GREAT. I don't collect X figures but my buddy has that set and all the other team suits. He removed the cell shading from the animated Cyclops. He has a display of them all together. I have to admit. It's very very cool.

I'm not sure I'm ready for soft goods mixed with my peanut butter.

They finally gave Hawkeye an Arrow you can put in his hand? Where was that with the MCU Hawkeye and Kate Bishop Figures.

[Spyne98]

Man, I guess I'm buying this. I like the look of the Sky Cycle and Hawkeye looks good too!

Got the Nebula figure from Guardians Vol 3. Its a great figure and a much needed upgrade from the First Movie figure in the Vol 2 wave. Love the new pinless body and her body proportions are much better than that Vol 2 wave Vol 1 figure. I can't believe Hasbro skipped her Vol 2 Ravagers outfit look

Of course Hasbro didn't paint either of Nebula's guns so I gave her my painted Gun that came with the First movie Nebula figure from the Vol 2 wave.

She looks great but they mistakingly made the uniforms blue instead of the proper black.

Ha! You really gotta work on new material, or we're gonna have to remove the "Har" in “Harbinger.”

[tierneygreen]

My Outback Rogue showed up this morning. Solid figure. Can't say I'm a big fan of the portrait, but I'll leave her displayed as-is for a while before rifling through my fodder bin for a suitable swap.

Hey it was late and i was tired. Just be glad it wasnt the the obese chick in a thong gif i saw ( the internet is a scary place )

Can the previous masked MCU Star-Lord head easily fit on the new body?

[TheBlueMarvel]

I just encountered my first ever “down payment” fee for a preorder on BBTS. My initial thought was that the e-retailer might be engaging in counter measures to discourage shoppers from placing back-up orders in a gamble to see which platform delivers soonest. However, while I did order the Thor/Destroyer 2pack, I believe the mystery might be tied to the more expensive non-Hasbro figure that looks to have been attached to a Kickstarter for a smaller company.

Either way, whether it was attached to just Legends, or it’s a more global application, this is an interesting wrinkle to pre-ordering and might change whether I continue to use BBTS. Feels sketchy...

I saw a review showing the vol. 2 masked head on the vol. 3 body and it looked good, it maybe sits a little high. I was also hoping to get more verification here on the boards though.

Whatd you po? I know if its an expensive item they sometime require a non-refundable down payment. Hope this doesnt apply to all their po stuff. If it is i just wont po from em.

I defintiely noticed they've been increasing the 10% down deposit required. Seems like most SHF figures require it now, when that wasnt the case a few years ago.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they eventually adapt that policy store-wide at some point. Personally, I dont really have a problem with it...factoring in the free POL option, cheap shipping and excellent customer service, ordering from them is still worthwhile.
Itll just make me a little less impulsive placing preorders. And yeah, they probably are doing it to curtail cancellations, which I've done numerous times myself, I have to admit.

Well, that solves the mystery. I ordered a Kickstarter figure that was $110 with the preorder down payment being $11 (10%). I’ve never preordered a Kickstarter fig on BBTS before, nor have I pulled the trigger on a SHF/import making me unfamiliar with the process. While I understand the reasoning behind the measure, I’m not a fan and will keep this in mind moving forward.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, I apologize if it has been said before. Most of the Puff Adder wave arrived over the weekend from Hasbro Pulse. Puff's plastic feels super soft and gummy. Especially in the shoulders. I was worried I'd break the peg connecting the arm to the shoulder when I moved it. He seems alright now that I've taken the usual steps to loosen a joint, but what a QC downgrade.

Yah hasbros quality in plastic has taken a massive shit as of late yet they continue to increase prices.

[Dr Kain]

I don't know if I can say this is something new, as their IceMan figure from a few years ago was awful and super gummy too, but it is annoying to have $25+ for a figure that is not up to par with others. Does Puff Adder use all new parts with pinless joints?

[Cyclopswc]

I think "Eternals" refer to the time these will sit on shelves.

[Harbinger]

Id buy thena if they put her out.
