    DHL just dropped this guy off. Don't have time to mess with it yet. Maybe after work :D

    So I got a chance to open up Mk-85 and did the hand swap with Endgame Cap so he can be worthy...

    [​IMG]

    Only problem is...while he doesn't have America's ass...he does seem to have a worthy diaper. Right?

    [​IMG]

    Anyway, I looked over the instructions on Mk-85 and it doesn't seem to have anything that can be removed from the back. Though I'm sure the previous pictures that someone posted would have already suggested that. You can remove the middle pack panel, but there are no slots to attach any of the nano weapon set 1 onto it. Dunno about how the weapon set 2 would attach. Hopefully Entertainment Earth will deliver on mine to I can see. So it's kinda disappointing. But oh well. It's going into my make shift hall of armor anyway:

    [​IMG]

    But the head between the Tony Stark reissue I got and Mk-85 were easily removable, but I noticed an immediate problem:

    [​IMG]

    The ball joints are definitely not the same size. Despite my shitty picture, the ball joint on Tony Stark's head is actually smaller than the ball joint for the Mk-85 so it did not allow for a good fit for either head if I tried to swap em between the two figures without modification. Which is just as well because I'm not about to do that to these expensive figures :p  But, I did try a "fitting" anyway to see what it would look like:

    [​IMG]

    Blech....yuck. I don't like the giraffe neck :lol  So yeah, that idea is a no go. The Mk-85 on the Tony Stark body was a no go either (not pictured) because it never really attached being that the ball joint on the body was too small for the Mk-85 head to lock down.

    So...back to the hall or armor for both of these.

    Scale with worthy Cap is perfect. So you think it’s a good figure overall? No issues with yours? I’m like thiiiis close to pulling the trigger on one on eBay for $119. Not thrilled with the price, but it’s the lowest I’ve seen

    Oh yeah, I was messing around with it. Joints are nice and stiff. Stands by itself really well without wobble. Overall, yeah. I did read about the paint potentially scuffing so I was more or less handling it with kid gloves :lol

    Yeah that seems to be an issue with a lot of IM figures nowadays. I got the new revoltech IM and it’s great, but I’ve already scuffed the paint in a handful of spots because I’ve been posing it so much. I guess it adds realism? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    My dilemma now is either wait for Hasbro’s to be revealed and potentially lose my chance to buy the SHF, or pay the higher prices now. I doubt they’ll release a battle-damaged version with the stones hand; tamashii doesn’t usually do battle damage repaints afaik, could be wrong

    That certainly is an option, but for me..that hall of armor has to be shiny :D  And between the SHF and ML, the paint job on the SHF has always surpassed that of the MLs no matter how I try to slice it n dice it. Poseability is always better. But due to the "premium-ness" of the SHF, playability is always going to be on the ML side as long as I don't get a warped joint. Kinda hard to mess up IM's eyes so that's another plus :lol  And I say that because I have one SHF IM that has some scratched paint on one of it's shoulders. So much so that when another copy came up for sale I bought another. But still, I can't pass up on the SHFs if I can preorder them :D

    Oh wow, thanks for the tip! That’s actually cheaper than at Napon Yasan! I just preordered.

    Too bad they can’t get more Mark 85s in stock at retail price...

    Ugh I was putting off ordering Infinity War Hulk to see what we got for Endgame but I'm not thrilled with this Hulk that much. BBTS had him in stock a few weeks ago but just checked and it's out now. Should've moved sooner.

    And glad I didn't offload the AoU one yet ha.

    I’m fine with it, I just wish the head looked more like Mark Ruffalo. Or at the very least, have the correct haircut and gray fading on the temples

    Have you tried swapping the necks between Tony & 85 and not just the heads? I'm curious if it would fit then.

    No I haven't. But then again, I'm not so sure I want to try :lol  Don't really want to scuff up anything.

    Had to pay nearly 130$ for this one, but It is worth the price, I believe :)

    I was a weak twerp and bought the Mark 85 on eBay for $120. Not nearly as bad as some of those other ludicrous prices going for $150+, but still. Hope it’s a good figure at least so I don’t regret my choice!
    If Hasbro pulls some magic and somehow reveals a better figure after I get this, guess I’m unlucky then lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    With Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Hulk preordered, my original six is finished. SHFs are getting too expensive and not available enough to avoid scalper prices though, so I think I’m done for a bit. I don’t need SHF Rescue anymore, Legends is more than good enough. War Machine maybe, depends how nice it is. Captain Marvel’s Endgame suit I’d definitely get. I’ll probably cancel Nebula, not sure it’s worth the price

    Now if they start doing all the PS4 Spider-Man outfits....I’m screwed

    Fair enough, I can get the neck off Tony fairly easily but not on 85
