Without the vest, the figure becomes instantly unique. On a similar, but slightly tangential note, I think Hasbro may have unintentionally created the solution for the glaring lack of fists on Namor et al. I’ve recently received both Netflix Luke Cage figs and the fists are perfectly sized to scale with the small-large male body-mold. Characters that inexplicably lack fists given their power sets and fighting styles (Namor, Wonder Man, Captain America, Red Guardian, Kraven, *Punisher, Grim Reaper, etc) are now one paint job (and minor tooling) away from getting the final touch needed to make these figs complete. The fists (Cage) are even removable without heat treatment. The tooling needed revolves around the pegs (I assume, I haven’t actually checked…more on that in a bit) and the sculpted thumb nails, which wouldn’t be visible with characters who wear gloves. Additionally, Namor has a slightly olive complexion and it might be tricky to match the paints for skin tone. Now, I’m far too lazy to do this myself (hence the ‘not checking’) and then there’s the principle of the matter which has me of the opinion that Hasbro should have long since created a work around that I could’ve simply purchased via another fig.

- Money, Hasbro??? I’m willing to pay for multiples of whatever fig you throw these ‘Cage fists’ on in my effort to rectify the poor design choices made for the small-large male body (most notably, for Namor and Wondy – I mean…come on, it ain’t rocket science that these two bruisers would be throwing hands more than most other heroes – and those ‘ionic’ fists that came with Wonder Man just DON’T cut it).
