He looks to be using a number of pieces from the recent Ronan, so he should be a decent size. He'll look good standing beside both other Marvels Legends or Transformers figures.

I was so happy when SDCC exclusives went online only because it was always such a hassle to get a ticket to get in the actual line, finding the line against the wall to wait in that would lead to the actual booth line, "hanging out" in nearby booths for an opening in the booth line avoiding security clearing the aisles for fire hazards, getting to SDCC hours before they opened to rush the booth at opening only to be told their ticket allotment was done for the day, or con your way into the line.

Hopefully they made this situation better because it is always a major pain in the keester.

Death’s Head looks great!! Definitely a must-have. Really hope that he is not hard to get. Buying the exclusives has been a smooth experience lately, but it used to be such a hassle. And sounds like might be difficult again.

Looks great. Might try to snag one despite not really caring about the character.

I sincerely doubt it.    I didn't even bother with the line last year,  since the online sale went live at the same time I just ordered on my phone while in line for something else.    I'm sure it's going to be as horrible as you remember.   

I kind of honestly preferred when it was first come, first served with those lines and not lottery numbers to pick up time window slots where you could still find the line capped and not get in even if you were there in your appointed lottery time.

I would have preferred silver hands and wider boot flares.  Otherwise looks ok.  If you are going to use the Marvel Series II card frame for him, would have been nice if it matched Art Adams amazing art better.

Damn, he’s been in my top 10 for sometime and he looks great, but I’m not enthused over fighting for an SDCC exclusive.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am definitely going to be trying to hunt this guy down (not at SDCC).   I have the MU release (3.75") from years ago and he has been a favourite from my Marvel TF reading days.  Can't wait.  Hopefully Gamestop Canada will carry the SDCC exclusives again this year.   Oh and the trading card packaging is cool, but I hope it is more of a one off than a trend.

Guess this means we'll see a bump of some kind in the secondary market for DH II.

I really don't care for this character at all.  However, the execution looks near flawless.

Wish they had those lower legs when they did Ronan so he could have had the banded metal legs.

Hopefully this means that Outback Colossus is on the way

Everyone seems to be copying IGN's text about 'demand outstripping supply', but that's likely nonsense. SDCC exclusives have been fairly easy to get on Pulse in recent years. I think the DD 3-pack sold out quickest but wasn't gone in minutes or anything like that. Plus, I would imagine far fewer people are clamouring for Death's Head than Daredevil.

Death’s Head 1 is one of those characters where even if one doesn’t specifically love the character, the design is just so toyetic and fun that he’s cool for cool’s sake, yes?

I love that this is being made. I’ve been waiting a long time, yes?
