Almost positive the head is cast in black with the flesh painted.

Dangit. :(

I wanted to ask everyone a question though...who has this U.S. Agent head, and is it cast out of flesh-colored plastic with the mask painted on, or mask-colored plastic with the flesh painted on?

Because I kinda like that face better, but I obviously don't want to see a black mask peeking out from under the metal helmet, lol.
Just checked mine and the head is cast in black

Is there a reference site that has pics of disassembled Marvel Legends figures?

I'm wanting to see if the Nighthawk and retro Hobgoblin have boot swivel pegs identical to the new Vulcan.

Same thing everyone else is doing, slightly more paint.
The painted hair makes all the difference. Looks really good!

I think the GI Joe Classified Baroness hair piece would be decent too for those who want green highlights over dark hair/plastic. I'd suggest the face as well but not with those glasses notches built in. Not sure if Viper ever wore glasses.

I don't know.....It looks every bit as plausible on your shelf as it was in the movie. If I recall.....wasn't that cannon mounted to a space ship originally? And then a humanoid characters with no extraordinary strength was able to pick it up, activate it, and not be at all affected by the recoil of such a big ass gun? Too over-the-top.

That was criticism of the movie, not of your set up, BTW, it looks good.

MCU Gamora does have extraordinary strength via Thanos' genetic manipulations.

yup, both she and nebula do, they may be humanoid, but they aren't at normal human strength or durability.

Eh, nothing at the moment. I thought I could use Bandai stand arms to make the pieces float around him, but it only supports the bottoms of the arms, and if they make any with the same size peg on both ends, I don't have any.

Your paint on the Vertigo head is perfect. But I don't really like that hair or face for her. But then again, Hasbro's color scheme on this figure isn't really right for her stripes anyway.

What head and hair is that on the madame hydra? The hair is almost perfect and the face is a great size and shape, they both look a little soft sculpt wise. I'm guessing thats from some other line?

Edit: I see it's the Disney+ Nebula head. That explains the soft sculpt as it is supposed to be a cartoon, and then you had to add paint. Still looks miles better than the other head. Now If we can just give her something better than the Kate Bishop Legs.
