You are not alone. I wish I had pulled the trigger when it first hit eBay and was selling for half that price. I'm not a fan of the 'extremis' armor legs....Zoffy made a nifty alteration to the legs (I think), but without improvements along those lines and the addition of Pepper's head...I can't justify purchase. I doubt the $100 price-tag will come down anytime soon...if at all.

I was painting him the other day, the paint wasn't stuck in between any joints or anything, and his left left just fell apart.
Meanwhile, the first Beetle that I have is fine, he's sturdy as can be. I think I'll just use that for the custom since I don't think this version will ever make it to the main Marvel continuity (which is all I really collect).

Maybe Hasbro issued a re-run of the fig with a different grade of plastic? I definitely noticed the difference in its plastic vs the other figures released at that time. It had a strange tensile strength, while seeming lighter (almost hollow) than other figs. I only have the original one, so I can't speculate from a comparative perspective.

What are you customizing it into? I always thought it'd make a good base for a Mach V...
