Quite a few people like the idea of Jackal being re-purposed as an Avengers Beast. Without concrete data, there's no way to know whether what you are asserting is fact or fiction. Notwithstanding the mean age of collectors, we live in an age where many readers are consuming omnibuses of bygone comic eras. With that in mind, "exposure" becomes moot and subject to debate.

Additionally, that Jackal IS the same size as the Wonder Man fig. This was exactly the reason why I asked Kirathis his opinion on the size discrepancy between Grim Reaper and Jackal (Simon and Reaper are the same mold). If you look at the comparative photos, you'll see they are virtually the same size...

Hence why I made sure and put in the 'I think...' since I'm only speaking from personal experience and observation, and didn't want to make it sound like a fact.

As for the comparisons there, I'm not sold, but it might just be because they're not in a side-by-side themselves. The torso looks solid, but the limbs seem way too slender by comparison. Especially the legs - Hank's got some thicker gams from all the leaping he does.

But I might also be stubborn in seeing it that's always possible.

I would go nuts for that. Caliban was one of my favorite figures in the old Toy Biz 5" line, and I'm always game for X-Force characters getting a new figure.

I also agree with Startaiger in that Jackal could easily become part of a Vermin mold...along with other sentiments regarding Jack Russell Aka Werewolf by Night.

I didn't think that was 'secondary mutation' Caliban, as much as it was 'Horseman' Caliban, since, unlike a lot of the 'secondary mutations' in canon, his size-change and permanent access to his 'temporary' powers were engineered by Apocalypse. Or 'Hellhound' Caliban. Or 'Death' Caliban. Or whatever they decided to call him that week.

But yes, Jackal's body is a great one to use for Vermin and Jack Russell. Maybe Puma (Thomas Fireheart) as well, at least the upper body and feet?
