And I agree, Sentry should have a longer body and not look like the 80's Lou Ferigno.

It'd be a shame to lose out on all those RC's, but what are you going to do? I'm still jacked for the Cap and Spidey waves....and hopefully Jubilee too!

There was some talk at SDCC about trying to get the variants out maybe as a retailer exclusive the parts are tooled so we'll see them in some form or another some day maybe. But right now they said that they don't have any plans for them in the 2014 line

It kills me that they didn't use the same design scheme for the DCUC line, but hey, that's typical DC for you. You need to put in work to mate a Hasbro upper body to the Mattel lower, but it pays off.
The Hyperion body is getting turned into a classic Drax the Destroyer now; much better suited to that size of character.

I really like using those Mattel WWE elite bodies for Marvel Characters. Plus they are a really good replacement for the SHIELD Agent body for those larger guys bigger than Bucky but smaller than Hyperion like Wonder Man. And the design of the elite figures really matches up well with the new ML bodies. It would have been very nice if they could have used them fro DC characters.

It would have been cool if they would have waited for the Hyperion body before making Drax. I look forward to seeing your Drax. Oh and I found when painting green skin it's best to start with a dark green base coat and then dry brush the lighter shades over top of that
