Thanks. I do hope that more people can end up with this set, just as I hope that the sales on this set justify something similar (in larger quantities, natch) next year. I will gladly spend $100+ on a set if it's a good set, and this was a good set.

Looking as closely as I can at the pics I took, it appears to be painted on.

Using it for an Eddie Brock head is genius. I never would've thought of that.

In regards to the talk of parts reuse, I'm generally okay with it, since as a result it gets us a lot more characters that would be less likely to hit shelves if they had new tooling, more specifically a lot more second- and third-tier characters (and lower). Hell, The Eel was one of my favorite figures from last year, and he didn't have a single unique part beyond his paint scheme.

It does grind on me a little when it's really egregious (the Captain Britain head, and the Taskmaster head, in the Hydra two-pack), but for the most part, I'll take some parts reuse if it means a wider variety to choose from. Outside of the X-waves (whole case or bust!), I'm a choosy collector, so I'd rather have a larger pool to pick potential purchases from.
