MVL Part Swaps

I didn't even heat it up. I just grabbed it at the base that connects to his butt and pulled. Took a little elbow greese, but it came out easy enough. I'd be afraid to use heat considering the tail is rubbery and the torso is hard plastic. But I'm sure just warming it up would work fine. I wouldn't overdo it.

Can anyone with the new Extremis Iron Man 2pk set pop off suited Mandarin's head and replace it with Pretty Boy's from the Reavers (Stryfe 5pk)? Wanting to see if he makes for a decent Pete Wisdom from Excalibur.

Holy crap, Pretty Boy is so much better an option than the extra Jamie Madrox head I've been using on an old suit body for my Pete Wisdom stand-in. I'll try to dig Pretty Boy out to try it out - he's been in the not-on-display bin for a bit.
 
So, does anyone know if anyone has made an Arkon the Imperion head that would be compatible with the Ka-Zar body? Since getting Shanna is a longshot, he’s looking better and better to get converted into either an Arkon or Conan.
 
Pretty Boy works exceedingly well as Peter Wisdom, but the skin tone doesn’t quite match up with any existing body. What do you think, worth tracking down a second mandarin or does he look ok on an Everett Ross body?

I'm not the best with paint matching, so for stuff where I want a certain look, but the skin tone is subtly different, I just let the figure sit like that for a week and see if I still care later. Most of the time I don't but occasionally it still bothers me and I just swap it back to the way it was. It's a "good enough for now" solution until they make an actual Pete Wisdom or you come across the suited body with a better skin tone. I like the oversized coat, even though he didn't wear one in the comics as much, as it screams "British Intelligence" in a way. I prefer the Mandarin suited body for him because Pete's tie was sloppy looking most of the time in the comics, as I remember them. Nice work.
 
I agree with the Mandarin body being perfect for Pete - the oversized coat and the disheveled tie are exactly how I picture him.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to get an extra Mandarin. This is too perfect. Though Pete sometimes wore grey and I could get a spare Matt Murdock for 20 bucks.
 
It’s crazy how every time I skim the word “Mandarin”, my head replaces it with “Mandalorian” because that’s become a more common part of our lexicon. I’m like, “what character is everyone making that looks so much like Din Djarin?”

As Canadian, it just makes me want to go to Mandarin buffet.
 
FYI for everyone in the thread thinking about a Pete Wisdom.. I think I'm in the market for a Pretty Boy body!

I ended up buying a head without the body unfortunately otherwise I'd hook you up.

I also stupidly just bought a second Mandarin body for Pete Wisdom which 1,000% means they will announce a Pete Wisdom, ON this body, at NYCC next week, right?
 
I'm telling myself doing a quick and dirty parts-swap Pete Wisdom will just leave me with an extra, pretty decent civilian suit body when they release an offician one later. Maybe I'll try to turn him into Jack Hawksmoor if that happens.
