I also finally grabbed this set since it was on sale. I was really hoping that the Hank Pym head would work on the Target Ant Man body but it's too big. I didn't know that the Hank Pym was so much bigger than the Ant Man. I probably should have known considering it's the Red Skull body.
Pretty sure the Pym body is even bigger than the Red Skull body. I haven’t directly compared, but Pym is bigger than Safari Wonder Man. It’s disappointing.
I guess the years of using Pym Particles finally took a toll on old Hank and left him disproportionately large.

That’s the logic I’m trying to use as well.
Picked up Mockingbird loose from this set from our local toy store. They bought sets while it was on sale and decided to sell one pack as loose figures. Mockingbird was the only one I really, really wanted. I will probably pick up the reissued Tigra but I don't dislike the retro card one. Probably Hank too if not sold by the time pay day comes around. I don't need Silver Centurion Shell Head or Julia Carpenter Spider Woman. I'm happy with the originals.
I am catching up on collection photos this month, and this figure reinvigorated my annoyance for Hasbro Marketing/Sales practices. They know this should have been the first figure we got, but they wanted to double dip on that mold investment ASAP.
Its so much better than Cheeto Tigra!
That torso can definitely be reused for Shanna the She-Devil, if they're looking to get some mileage.

Lets be fair, Chester gets lonely at night.
I actually bought this version of Tigra off Ebay. She should be here next week or maybe this weekend if I'm lucky. She was only like $26 or something, basically retail for a normal figure. As I didn't want most of the rest I figured I'd just spring for her. I wouldn't mind having Mockingbird too, but she has some flaws and I am ok with the last one. I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep the old one as a Tigra still or maybe paint her something different and make her a custom. Not sure I could sell her either, since I took the stripes off her one head and this one is better so people would probably prefer it.
@trunks3540 Its a tough call. The market isnt great for the 1st Tigra. Great for a custom, but I know I wont get around to doing one.
It's so silly because it really is a great figure in the right colors. Even the first version is a great FIGURE, just the wrong color. No pins, great range, double elbows and knees, two heads, it's excellent. I do hope they use it for Shanna. I'm pretty sure the only fur texture is sculpted onto the arms, not the torso. They'd just need to fill in the tail hole.
I actually got the new one today. I wasn't expecting it till at least Saturday. Kinda crazy. The colors are so much better. I still have to paint her nails, but that's a minor thing. The heads though, still excessively small. That may bug me the most. Not sure why they didn't fix it with the new version. But her colors are top notch. I like it better then the og for sure. Still gonna take those dumbass stripes off her growling head again.
Is there any other characters that would work to use this body for? Like any more cat like characters? I don't remember any, but I don't know the entirety of the Marvel Universe. Maybe some alien or something? Or I could just straight up use it for another line entirely.
Yea but they would need new parts that I do not have. While it would be nice to get Feral at least, I think Hasbro is gonna release one sometime in the future using the Wolfsbane body. I think Tigra is too tall for her anyway.
This version of Hank has an open hand that holds the mini Quinjet from the Giant Man/Wasp 2 pack perfectly. Almost like it was designed for this and then cut and included in the later pack. Jumpsuit Hank is definitely more associated with shrinking weapons and transport and such since at the time it was detrimental to his health to continue to shrink or enlarge himself.
