That's a great use of the Flash head. I was just trying it out on different bucks last night and nothign was working. Is that the anniversary Cap body? 

Unrelated, I was reorganizing last night and I'm wondering if there's a database of Marvel Legends parts out there. I've been very good about individually bagging character accessories... but TERRIBLE at LABELING those bags, and I was full Gandalf "I have no memory of this place" last night trying to match up villain parts to the right figure. Telling Ultron from Doom hands... oof. (And yet I somehow did NOT find any hands that would work as fists on Squirrel Girl. I know I have them, just not where.)

When I was going through a similar process last year of trying to reunite all of my loose accessories with their owners I used Legendsverse - they mostly use the promo pics for everything, so there might be a few instances where the final product might have been missing an accessory (Ragnarok/cyborg Thor springs to mind). But it was incredibly helpful in reconnecting everything, and I took the opportunity to catalogue the entire collection while I was at it.

@h-bird Thanks for the recommendation. It's funny, got into the habit of bagging accessories individually a few years back and have been pretty diligent about it... you'd think I'd also be smart enough to write the NAME on the bag, but nope. So many spider-hands. Spider-hands as far as the eye can see.

@h-bird Hope you're getting a commission. I signed up and within 10 minutes paid for the service, haha. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyone have any recommendations for some "splayed/claw" hands for Chasm?

My Halloween legends are back out on display and the fists he came with just aren't going to cut it...

No commission necessary, I'll sing the Legendsverse praises all day long! Honestly the fact that I can just pay *once* for a service is such a nice change of pace for how most things work these days. I happily jumped on the one-time fee (I think $35?) for a lifetime membership for something I use constantly. I use the "Groups" feature a ton - since most of my collection can't live on the shelves (for now) it's nice to create different groupings of teams/displays based on what's in the inventory.

It is.

I usually look at promo pics, in-box photos, or reviews when I'm gathering accessories to sell something.

Replaced my Phoenix heads with Black Widow heads. Hair is from boxset Elektra and Boxset Tigra.

I quite like the heads they gave Jean in this set. But those do look good too.

That hair from box set Elektra is resculpted, right?

@normdapito Yes, I forgot to mention the top was resculpted since I used the head that came with the bandanna on it.

Those are killer.  They put all other Jean/Phoenix heads to shame.  They look LIKE her, and look awesome.  Well done.  The stock heads not only do not look like jean, but are executed poorly for whoever that visage is actually meant to represent, to put it nicely.
