Yeah, he's a BRUISER.Honestly, I didn't realize how bulky Barbecue is until these pictures. I have no version of him.

Hehehe yeah he’s got a lot of Destro parts so he is bizarrely huge. If/when they retro him, they hopefully have the parts to scale him down a bit.

The fact that I found a head to swap onto him is 100% proof they will retro him in 2026.
Posted this in the O:MF thread already, but I'm real happy with this this turned out. No painting necessary, just a mix of BAT parts with the head and neck from Donner party.

Two part swap questions:
I've got a spare Law head now and I'm trying to figure out if he'd work as a Wade Collins custom. Greenshirt maybe? Getting the head off the greenshirt neck peg was a fuckin battle though. Maybe Grunt?
Also: Tony Stark (70s style, big hair, mustache) on a generic Marvel suit body for Hector Ramirez? I need to find a microphone that scales though, anyone seen a good one?

Yeah, these guys whose necks are meant to swap out really have a snug head hole! Grunt should be easier though. Would be cool to use someone whose body looks like basic military but not someone you already have on the shelf. For me that would be someone like RAM Breaker or something. Ugly Falcon's body probably isn't easy to come by...
If no one has a suggestion, I'll go looking. I imagine someone on Etsy has a 3D printed one to be painted. Having been on a film crew, it's obviously not necessary but would be incredible if you added the cameraman and soundman. (I can't watch reality tv where someone goes to a participants house to surprise them, but the participant answers the door already with a wireless microphone on their shirt and a cameraman walking behind them, without being that jerk that points it all out.)
But also I got this Barbecue figure second hand and this is why I just don’t like the diaper overlay on figures. What happened to his ass?
Looks like the top part of his diaper is stuck on his lower torso ball peg slot, pushing out the bottom.
