Definitely a challenge, but not impossible.

I believe the head might offer the most difficult decisions; how to handle the neck peg as the ability to look downward is key in oversized figs since they tower above others; the lower segment of the cowl-helmet would likely necessitate the same rubbery plastic used for capes, but featuring less rigidity providing play for different angles.

Also, in the pic above, I see potential to hide shoulder articulation between the double pauldrons. The yellow pauldron adorned with spikes can rest at the top of the bicep and be made of the same pliable plastic as the cowl, with the larger red pauldron being an attachment of a harder plastic separate from the torso to allow parts to move beneath.

Although they may not seem so, the arms are a bit more straight forward and a huge upscaling of the baggy approach we saw expertly executed with Kang would do pretty nicely. No need for anything other than a large 360 degree ball joint for the elbow, giant forearms with over sized gauntlet cuffs made of the aforementioned rubbery plastic and oversized mitts for pounding Thor.

The baggy waist and heavily armored legs are likely the easiest aspect; I would use the same cape material to make the fins that stretch from the quads to the shins.

The ornate torso can be constructed in a similar fashion to Ultron, with a waist swivel and large ball joint that separates the diaphragm from the chest. There are plenty of places to hide the seam if you use the go-to rubbery plastic to create elements of the face on his midriff.

Easier said than done, I guess, but if a normal schlep collector like myself can see a path forward, I'm sure the professionals at Hasbro can do far better.

Also, if Brian and Meggan get released in a two pack, I could see Rachel and Kitty getting released in their own two pack as well. No need to include Kurt, unless the fig is rare or something - I grabbed three when it came out and haven't looked back to see where the fig is on the secondary market.

Edit:...jus cuz..

Alan Davis bonus!!!

Kurt n' Rach

The Fury bests Cannonball

Tyrant bonus!!!
