Actually, the suited Coulson body will not fit it without a little modification either. The peg holes for the heads released with Chameleon are a bit larger. You can stuff a little paper towel piece or use something like the museum adhesive (I forget what it is but someone posted it when I asked about this a couple months back in this thread) to keep the head from falling off.

I've had success using the hot glue methodon marvel head to dcuc bodies. Most times just fill the head hole ( pause for childish snickering ) with hot glue place and hold on the dc body then gently twist the head after its near dry to break the seal but leave the head intact to stay on the body and viola. I used it to make my unmasked vigilantes using a couple marvel heads for two of em.

If you're asking in terms of scale, the older Movie Masters figures do work, although as people are saying, it will require a little modification. The Jigsaw here is using a Movie Masters Joker Goon body, which I resorted to after the body of my Face Off Jigsaw snapped in half during a move a few years ago. In this case, I removed the ball peg, and am actually using a q-tip wrapped in vet wrap and tape, which I then plugged into the head and body. This allowed me to easily remove and swap out the head with other ToyBiz characters (like the Face Off Red Skull), as well as give me the option of restoring the body back to the Joker Goon if I wanted to. There are other ways of doing it that don't require the removal of the ball peg, so in the end, I suggest fiddling around with it and finding what works for you. There are plenty of ideas and tutorials floating around the Internet and YouTube, so don't be afraid to give them a try. ![]() One thing that you do want to keep in mind is that the Movie Masters body's scale is not exactly the same as with the Chameleon/Coulson suited body, as it is slightly smaller. This will work in your favor though if you want suited characters of different heights though. Also keep in mind, if you are using the suited body from the recent Mattel Joker figure, that figure is slightly larger than the Legends buck (which would work nicely for larger gangsters like a custom Tombstone or Hammerhead. ) Last edited by Trivial Psychic; 02-20-2016 at 12:02 PM.. |

Actually, Hammerhead is the right height on the Chameleon body, he just isn't the right width. Hammerhead is supposed to have a wide body. No where near that of Kingpin, but still wide enough.

I was bummed out of mind after my last move, because as I was unpacking my Legends, that's when I noticed my Face Off Jigsaw had snapped in half. I had only seen the white suited variant a whopping one time in stores (the day that I bought it) and my heart dropped into my stomach when I saw how much the prices had skyrocketed on the secondary market. I simply kept what I needed most (the headsculpt) and prayed another suited body would come along (I never much cared for the Prof X body truthfully). That's when I noticed the Joker Goon...and the rest is history.
I actually liked the Joker Goon body better than the Chameleon body for Jigsaw, simply because of that cheesy bolo tie he's wearing. It screams brute thug to me, which Jigsaw is...as opposed to the classy tie on the Coulson and Chameleon bucks... I actually think that with a little sculpy or hot glue, and some paint, that new Joker Movie Masters (or Icons or whatever Mattel calls it now...) would make for a decent Jigsaw custom... |

Dude you're X-Men setup is so sick! So I'm from the 3-3/4" bunch. Been away from them about a year. Slowly starting to dabble in the 6" I own comic Groot, Deadpool, Baron Zemo & just picked up Taskmaster. I have to say I'm really starting to fall in love again.

Awesome shots SymbiSpider. Of course I'm partial to the GotG shot but they are all great!
Very cool DD shot ireign! Looks very much like an image we would see for DD in a comic. |

@Kirathis and Universe: Thanks guys!
![]() @Zend: Yes, it is the Red Hulk figure. Cost a pretty penny, but I just had to have Wolverine in this outfit! |

I got around to opening up my Taskmaster, Mockingbird and Sharon Carter tonight and a few things became apparent to me.
First, unless Hasbro comes up with some truly impressive figures this year, Taskmaster is all but guaranteed a spot in my top 10 of 2016 list at the end of the year. It kind of amuses me since I know very little about the character and even less about this version. It is just a superb figure. My only gripe is the same as most with the molded shoulder harness guns. Mockingbird is also a really great figure...except DAMN HASBRO, can the females have double-jointed elbows already please?!? I really wanted to pose her with some Shield figures in a sort of casual pose with her escrima resting on her shoulders and slightly behind her head. With only single joints it looks more like some weird version of the funky chicken. As for Sharon...good god that's a poor figure! I also confirmed what has been bugging me since I first saw up close pictures. If it is not a straight up reuse of the unmasked Carol head with different hair it is so damn close it may as well be. I need to come up with a different left hand because the fist one they gave her is terrabad. Last edited by Kirathis; 02-21-2016 at 12:49 AM.. |

I've tried to find his head in my bits box, but I'm starting to think I hated it so much I threw it out last time we moved. As far as I recall, his head has a big dent/hole running from his forehead to the back. I think, as someone else mentioned, it's pretty safe to experiment with taking his hair off. On another note, really enjoying the new Mockingbird! Just to put it out there, yes Hasbro, this would be a perfect mold for a new and improved Domino! |

![]() Rina Logan, AKA Wild Thing, is the daughter of Wolverine and Elektra in the MC2 timeline (Earth-982, where Mayday Parker/Spider-Girl hails from). In addition to her father's platter of powers, Rina can project psionic 'claws' from her hands - similar in function to Psylocke's psychic blade. I'd love to see Jimmy show up - maybe as Laura's sidekick ![]() But in all seriousness, I've wanted to see Jimmy, Laura, and Rina together in some capacity or another - even if it's only to beat up on Daken.
