Agreed. I do not associate these fireballs with Sunspot, so I don't even bother to use them with him.

Spamming this image a little bit but relevent - both the Apocalypse BAF and retro Wolverine heads work on the 2 pack body for something more comic release aesthetic. Tans are very close. Skin color is off but seed of doubtable like he has a 5 oclock shadow or something.

I mean, Bryan Singer just turned Roberto into the Human Torch in DoFP, so it isn't the first time an official representation hasn't understood his powers.
(I LOVED New Mutants, and despite the super problematic "he isn't a dark enough Brazilian" complaints from old school fans, at least they did a pretty decent representation of him being A "sunspot"...)
*I get that Roberto isn't supposed to be as light-skinned as Zaga, but come on, people, you can't tell a person of color that they're "not dark enough," ESPECIALLY if you're fucking white.

This is 2025 America. Apparently we can? I've seen people get away with worse.
Im not advocating for it. I'm just saying, people get away with shit. Fuckin Nazis.

Sure, but we people of color can. Strangely, just had this exact conversation at EB. We outnumbered the white boy though.

After some kit-bash tinkering, I've discovered that the new claw hands from Tiger Stripe '97 Wolverine match the First Appearance 2 Pack Wolverine - and the Love Triangle 3 pack Wolverine yellows are a close enough match to make a comic aesthetic Wolverine using the '97 body.
This pleases me.

Received QuickKick and he does work pretty well for a more muscular comic-esque basketball Remy. The hands that come with Gambit have longer pegs than QK's arm sockets allow for so they will have to be trimmed a bit. The wrist cuffs that come on QK are NOT removable so Gambit's cuffs will not work on it unless you grind down the tips of the forearms, or repaint them like Gambit's cuffs that he comes with (likely the route I'll go).
QuickKick's pants can have the pattern on the hips removed if you want a Gambit that just rolled out of bed or looking like he's been training in the gym, they're more or less just sweatpants, he comes with a built in belt but if anyone knows a GI Joe overlay for a pelvis that's straight black and looks like it could be sweatpants, by all means let me know.
This custom will take some effort, but the skin tone matches pretty well, the head pops on the peg without issue and isn't loose, so that's "half the battle" as the Joe's like to say.
