I'm the opposite, I love this Scorpion figure. The bendy wire tail is actually really cool and though I fear it will break in years to come, I keep playing around with it and I haven't even had the chance to take pictures of him yet.

As for the mask, he's based on the Spactacular Spider-Man 90s story arc:

I have no idea why Hasbro incorrectly colored his mask on the box art, but it is annoying since the one on the box looks more like the animated series version.

Now for his height, he's only 2 inches taller that Spider-Man in the comics, so I'm fine with it since the pizza body makes Spidey a little bit taller than he should be anyway. I guess they could have just added an extra CM or two.

The new diaphragm joint is great for side to side motion but definitely hinders arching articulation. If you wanted to arch him backwards too far you can see the hole between the abdomen and chest. Plus I feel like poses, or at least certain angles, will look awkward with the chest articulating but the abdomen not lining up very naturally.

That's the nature of the beast though as a lot of figures with the diaphram like that have that issue. I love it though.

Also, is Scorpion supposed to have hip articulation? It looks like the abdomen and pelvis are one piece. Mine will not budge and I wanted to see if that's the case for others.

You mean a waist swivel? If so, yes, mine does.

I can't agree there as I hate the Jack O'Lantern body. The way they did the hips is atrocious. It's one of my least favorite figures in my collection and if it wasn't for him being a Spider-Man villain, I would get rid of him.

I've also never seen Quicksilver be that skinny despite being a speedster. He's definitely no where near being as thin as Flash is supposed to be. My only real issue with the figure is the lack of what should look like horns on his head due to the way he is is normally parted.
