I was disappointed in Mockingbird. The hair over the mask creates an ear look.

I'm putting pants and a lot more hair on Mockingbird.  

I just opened my figures.  Mostly, they were pretty good.  High marks to Beetle and Magik.  Tiger Shark is super short and is bending so he can ogle his own crotch.  Spider-Woman II, who I thought looked pretty robust online, is even skinnier than the Crystal figure. The legs are nearly twisted around each other as well.  Another huge disappointment for me. 

Wizard is really short.  Is he that tiny in comics? I don't recall.

JJJ and Sebastian Shaw both great sculpts - they arrived today.

 

Terrax is OK...would have liked more texture on his "skin" and his axe was snapped at the fist!

Picked up Terrax today. I'm okay with the texture of his skin; it's "stony" enough, given the limitations of the process with the lead. However, I thought the axe was much too small. I'll have to go back to those old FF issues, but I remember thinking the axeblade itself appeared to be about the size of a door!

I just realized that Terrax is a villain wearing primary colors. That never hit me before.

It's his head that looks too small in that photo.  I'll still get him.

Picked up Terrax, Avalanche and Mockingbird. I like Bobbi's ponytail. That's not mine, is it?

Terrax is off-scale. Too big. But the sculpt is nice, and I have grown used to Eaglemoss and their wandering sense of scale.

Better that than the axe breaking.  I've fixed Hawkeye's bow a few times.  Superglue and a rubber band.

Well, not to start the whole THAING again, but I did intend that Terrax be wearing red and BLACK.
