MVL Part Swaps

[docsilence]

Anybody else just randomly pop a spare Trevor Slattery head onto a civilian suit body for Wonder Man reasons this week? I don't even know how I ended up with a spare Trevor Slattery head, but it had spent the past two years on the body of a generic Mandalorian, which it may return to on the premise Trevor got cast by his old friend at Lucasfilm...

I haven't done that but I have been eyeing which heads might work for Simon. Yahya doesn't have any likeness stuff yet but I think MAFEX is coming out with one for Black Manta but it's got the giant scar across his face.

M'Baku has the hair and beard but no one else feels right or close.

Going to try the spare Ghost Rider head on the Firelord body when it comes out, to see if it makes a decent Imperial Guard Starbolt placeholder.

That's actually a really solid idea!

So I received Diamond Emma Frost today and decided to try to upgrade the fully clear Invisible Woman figure. Even though the one redeeming thing about the factory Sue head was that it had no paints, rather, didn’t have the same shitty eye paint job the standard version has. Popped it on, but it’s a different color translucent. The IW figure has a blue tint while the EF head is really just clear with the eyes and lips painted. But it looks almost like the contrast Sue’s skin would have against her uniform. I don’t know, this might not be worth the swap. It almost just makes it look like a nude figure of either character.

I both really like how this looks and also had the immediate thought: EMMA, PUT YOUR KIT BACK ON WE ARE IN PUBLIC
