Thanks for looking out. I was thinking about cracking AJ open today because the likeness to Ava Ayala seemed so dead on to me, but if it's something I'm going to have to do a lot of fiddling around with in order to get it to work, I will probably just keep her on the card (I keep most of my wrestling figures on the card or in the box these days.) I do like the Diva's body buck better than most of the Legend's female bucks truthfully, and I think that Hasbro could learn a bit if they just follow some of Mattel's examples.

That headsculpt though. Ava Ayala if I've ever seen it....

The problem with many classic Hulk figures for me is that they usually don't have a good face sculpt IMO, and Face Off Hulk's face is absolutely perfect. Then there's others like the 3-pack Hulk, that look fantastic, but they're simply not the ripped pants look that has become so iconic for the character to me. Even with the Marvel Select Hulk (which I would get to have a more massive-sized Hulk in my collection that can go along with the corresponding Red Hulk), I think the face is downright ugly lol.

Unfortunately, I can't say I'm too happy with The Leader figure because the figure was broken at the shoulder joint right when I took it out of the package. Might have to see about getting a Modern Leader on eBay and doing a quick head swap, because getting a classic Leader is a bit expensive these days.

Don't worry bro...no need to justify to us. Simply put, the Face Off series of figures put out some of the best sculpted Marvel Legends figures to date, (Captain America and First appearance Wolverine come to mind) and that Hulk and Leader were no different.

That really sucks about Leader though. For some reason, in my experiences, it seemed that the figures that came out of those face off waves were a little more brittle than the rest. My Jigsaw figure snapped in half at the waist during a move last year (thank goodness it wasn't too difficult of a head swap to do, as that figure's prices are ridiculous.) Remembering that, I picked up the Baron Strucker 2 pack a while ago, and my stomach turned as I tried to loosen up those joints with the care of paleontologist working on dinosaur bones. Thankfully nothing broke, but even then I'm still fearful of handling them too much and they are pretty much static on my shelves.
