Ah, my two pet peeves...fake holsters w/sculpted guns and weapons without a working holster/sheath. Tasky would have been perfect if he had real pistols and a legit sword sheath. But regardless, I love the figure.

I've actually been a Taskmaster fan way before he was ever associated with Deadpool, back in the days when he had an exaggerated Brooklyn accent and was training street hoodlums to work for low-level supervillains and mobsters. That and his powers (and the fact that he has a skull face and kids in the 80's just loved skulls) made him somewhat unique and fun.

In the end, I'm just grateful we got another one to begin with, as anyone even remotely associated with Deadpool drives a ridiculous price on the secondary market, so picking up the ToyBiz version just to fill a space on my shelf was never really an option.

I've actually been looking at picking up one of the ToyBiz TMs recently. They're not perfect (I hate the head sculpt, with it's massive Down Syndrome-style jaw and all), but I would love to do some modding on it (like using the Legends skull head) and it's really only pulling Buy It Now prices in the $30s or so. I love the new Legends TM but I'd like to give the old-school pirate version some more representation on my shelf (to go along with his MU fig, which is very decent).
