I've never tried to remove a McFarlane figure head, but I can't imagine the joint sizes being identical.

Post a pic if you decide to try it.

So the socket isn't even close to matching the joint. It looks like there's enough room if you want to hollow it out. I can post a side by side, but essentially the main problem is that despite the two figures being the same height, Zavala's head is just a little bit smaller. The difference is so slight that it probably wouldn't bother most people, but it's just a touch smaller than Yon's head. It's the exact same size as that new Target exclusive Kree Minn-Erva head, but hers is designed for a much smaller frame.

What exactly differentiates all of the other 6 inch scale Marvel figures? Mafex, Mezco, Figuarts, Revoltech, etc.

Mezco - Basically, these are 6” Hot Toys but for a much better price. Cloth costumes, lots of accessories/interchangeable parts, and decent articulation. They’re a bit larger than Marvel Legends and they’re an American company. Their comic book figures tend to feature unique design elements to make them look more realistic. They’re exclusives sell out incredibly fast.

Revoltech - Import figures designed to push ROM to the extreme. These figures look strange in a vanilla pose since they’re meant to be posed 100% of the time. Some figures like Carnage can fit in with Legends but others have a STRONG anime influence in their design and stand out next to MLs.

SH Figuarts - Import figures that are about realism and natural movement with the figures (great ROM). All of their Marvel figures are based on the movies. I beleive they were the first to use the face printing on figures. Most of their figures are shorter than Marvel Legends.

Mafex - Very similar to Figuarts in terms of articulation and sculpt but only slightly shorter than MLs. They’ve recently started producing comic book figures for Marvel with Spiderman just dropping overseas. They’ve also solicited/shown Gwenpool, Deadpool, Venom (McFarlane), Miles Morales, Wolverine (tiger stripe, Jim Lee), and Cyclops (Jim Lee). QC was an issue with earlier figures but newer figures have been doing better.

Disney and Marvel need to start fresh, but it will be hard to do and combine the universes without some time travel/ multiverse shenanigans, which never seems to work out.

Patrick Stewart was built to portray Charles Xavier, Sir Ian McKellen was great as an older Magneto. Both of those guys have tremendous chemistry.

I’m ambivalent towards Jennifer as Mystique, she’s at least better than a random supermodel wearing body paint.

I also forgot about Gambit, I hope that Tatum movie gets scrapped.

I think they got most of the major characters right, especially early on, but the “secondary” characters weren’t well executed the way Marvel has done. I guess saying all of them were great was too strong. I do think they made enough great choices early on to be successful, but they seriously mishandled the storylines and character development forcing a messy reboot. The long range planning wasn’t on the level of the Marvel universe.

Halle Berry was not a good Storm. She wasn't elegant, or graceful or in anyway regal. They need someone like Angela Bassett or even Gina Torres as Storm

I’m ready for the MCU. I’d love for Mystique, Rogue and Destiny to be introduced as antagonists in the Captain Marvel sequel, instead of being shoehorned into the X Men movies from the jump.

I totally agree with Jennifer Lawrence being awful as Mystique. I wholeheartedly believe she was cast in the role purely for the name recognition, at the time she was the "it girl"

Technically it is....but this particular form is from the walmart exclusive comic blackpanther.

Enigmatic 03-01-2019 05:46 AM

After checking 12 different Walgreens a total of roughly 20 times over the last week, I finally got put out of my misery yesterday by finding three Mystiques at a store in Richmond, Virginia. :D

The only thing I feel relatively certain of in terms of the way Walgreens manages store supply is that from a restocking perspective they treat all Marvel Legends as a single product. I see no evidence of any attempt to make sure that characters get evenly distributed to stores, they just send out whatever figure the stock clerks randomly pick up when a store's supply of Legends goes below some number. So really the only way we get any variety at all is in whatever way Hasbro packs the figures into boxes. And when it's a Walgreens exclusive and there's only one figure in that box, then lots of that one character will all get sent out when a store's inventory of Legends becomes very low. That's why we see stores with 10+ Magiks or Medusas, because the warehouse just sent whatever was in a Legends Hasbro box. This makes me wonder if it's really in Walgreens' best interest to even have exclusives. If they made some effort to distribute them evenly to stores, then sure, they're a good idea, but as long as one store gets 10 and another gets none, it's a bad idea when your stock clerks are going to just randomly grab whichever figure they find when a store's overall Legends supply is low. This could be up to individual warehouse managers, and some make the effort to distribute the exclusives and some don't, not really sure. Certainly it isn't being done here in my metropolitan area, and plenty of people hunting for Walgreens exclusives have affirmed in this forum and others that it's the way it happens in their area, too.

One of the stores I went to several times was down to about 6 or 7 total Legends, and on one of the later trips I saw that store received two full boxes--the entire M'Baku wave and the entire Captain Marvel wave. Which was too much to fit in the three rows most Walgreens devote to Legends, so the clerk stuck the contents of both boxes onto an empty shelf across from the 6 or 7 remaining peg-warmers in the regular toy section.

Thanks for your sacrifice. Hopefully you didn't ruin your Destiny figure trying this out.

Too bad the head's too small. Like you said it probably wouldn't be noticeable to most but I know it would bug me. Still might consider getting Zavala. I've done a bit of research on the Kree and some appear to be rebels. Zavala gives off a ragtag look that works as a rebel.

Enigmatic 03-01-2019 07:57 AM

Wow, that Mystique was NOT listed on their site two days ago. I assume it went up within the last 24 hours. The in-stock at stores check is as inaccurate as always, it's claiming to be in stock at several stores I checked at last night without finding it.

I mostly did the tour of Walgreens to see if they had other figures I would want at $13.99, so I'm not sorry I did it...I ended up grabbing Valkyrie, speedo Sub-Mariner, Magik, and Angela during my trek, and I've got a store with the entire Captain Marvel wave scoped out if I end up wanting some of those after seeing the film in a week. But if I end up wanting Infamous Iron Man when it comes out as a Walgreens exclusive later this year, I think I'll just wait for it to hit the web site.

Tarooster 03-01-2019 08:04 AM

Popped into Walgreens by me on a whim and found Mystique for $13.99! That sale goes all the way to the 30th so I'm gonna hunt around theres a few more by me.

Someone on Reddit has said Mystique shares the same Walgreens inventory code as Mr. Fantastic, so the counts include him. I wonder if that count also includes some of the other Walgreens exclusives since I was at one yesterday that claims to have 6 to 9 Mystiques and had four Mr. Fantastics and five Namors but no other exclusives. I was seeing Thing as shown in-stock at stores a few months ago that definitely didn't have him, so I also wonder if Thing shared an inventory code with other exclusives.

I don't know what they do. The walgreens by me says it has 2-5 Mystique in stock. I just went there and they have 0 of the exclusive figures on the shelf. They had the bins with the newly arrived inventory out, so I looked through all of them and didn't find anything either. I am just ordering online because I am wasting more money in gas than the cost of shipping at this point.

Boy Blunder 03-01-2019 10:46 AM

Placed the order, thanks my friend! I'd rather not have to pay the shipping, but at least with the sale, it balances out to pretty much standard retail price, and it eliminates the stress (especially since I never once saw Surfer or Thing in person).

Spyne98 03-01-2019 11:38 AM

Since there's been a lot of talk of Shuri and a custom Emma and stuff, I went looking on Amazon today for that Shuri/Klaw 2 pack. It was on sale for $26.03. I picked it up just for the custom fodder. I'll be using that cape for an Emma. Just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone still needs the 2 pack or wants any of it for fodder.

Hey man, happy to help. Like I said, I love the idea. Here's a better illustration of what I'm talking about.

https://66.media.tumblr.com/1788b54e...o7_r1_1280.jpg

And yeah, I thought it might break if I applied too much force. Turns out Zavala's head pops right off with a little extra persuasion. Not quite as readily as Legends figures, but it won't give you any trouble.
It's just a little disproportionate, for me.
