Any ideas on how this new big and tall suit body can be used? I'm blanking. All I could think of was Luke Cage in his jacketless look with the vest and yellow shirt with sleeves rolled up. Obviously that would need new parts, but I always thought that looked cool, however short-lived (I didn't read the book, but it also featured Iron Fist in the black track suit). What other big guys wear a suit like that?

That book is a lot of fun and I'd love to get Cage and Iron Fist in those looks!

Man Mountain Marko could maybe go on this body, though he might be a little small as he's listed at 6'11" and would need a different shirt.

I was just messing around with Tombstone last night and thinking the same thing - who else could go on this buck? Cos it's a great design. Just can't think of too many big ol' slab of human characters who wore a suit regularly in the comics.

Got scarlet spider, jack o' lantern, and tombstone yesterday. Haven't opened them up but they all look great. Happy to have a replacement for the old Scarlet Spider. 

Not sure about reuse for Tombstone but I'd love it if they made a similar body for regular suited folk. I'm not sure if they've retired that old one but I was never a fan. The proportions on this one look a lot better.

The only characters I could think of are a 80's-90's era Red Skull and a civilian Silver Samurai. Also if you're familiar with the graphic novel "Wolverine: Bloody Choices", there's a character in that book named Mr. Shiv who could benefit from this body design. He's a total Z tier character though. I'm not sure how many readers are even familiar with him.

Oooo...I hadn't thought of that. This body in a white suit and a Red Skull head would be extremely cool. Loved it when the Skull was in a cloned Steve body.

Red Skull in Steve’s body makes a little sense (though maybe too tall) but I don’t think of Red Skull in general as that big.

to be fair Red Skull would still be wearing a black suit and tie but his shirt would be white. That's my mental image of Red Skull in the 80's and 90's during storylines like "The Captain" and "Acts of Vengance".

Huh. For some reason my memory is showing him in a white suit. I wonder where that came from. I'll have to check as it's been AGES since I've read those stories.

Yeah he definitely wore a black suit. Also I just thought about it but I think Gorgon would look good on this body

Not a bad idea... Now trying to think of the right head to use... the old two pack Warpath head might work... hmm

Gorgon is a good call! I'd prefer him in the robes but the suit is a valid look too.

Marvel Universe series 2 cards from 1990’s had Red Skull with black pants and a white jacket 🤗
