Got Death’s Head from Pulse. He’s awesome! Such a fun character with a great design. He’s fought everybody, yes? Including Iron Man 2020 and Iron Man in the Space Armor/ Godkiller Armor era. 

Love the head sculpt and all the new battle damaged armor. The weapons/interchangeable hands are a lot of fun as well.

I love how big and chonky he is, I just figured he’d be another 6” but he fits nicely with my MP Transformers. Like yeah, he’s not as tall as he should be (he was about Rodimus and Shockwave’s height in the comics) but it’s not too bad, he still towers over Bumblebee, and it gives him a bit of an underdog edge.

Naturally, I stuck the mace hand on immediately. Need to find a rifle for him though.

I absolutely love this figure.  I don't have a huge connection to him, but I always remember him from when my brother collected the cards when we were little.  He brings back that feeling I got picking up figures from the Toy Biz 5" line that I wasn't familiar with.  I'd never heard of Killspree back then, but that didn't stop me from having him face off with anyone & everyone!  Death's Head certainly fits into that role.  There's nobody that feels inappropriate for him to go up against.  I'm feeling fortunate I was able to get in on the first wave of orders, so I didn't have to wait until fall to get him.

Death’s Head is absolutely delightful. He’s sooooo much fun and I feel like I can make him battle anyone. I’m going to throw all the D&D monsters at him and see how he does, yes?

Seriously: one of my favorite MLs ever.

Death’s Head is the exclusive I wanted most. I was able to get an order in for him. I was also able to order the other three Hasbro exclusives I didn’t want nearly as much as DH from Transformers, Classified, and Black Series. Those three have been delivered or shipped. No movement on DH.

He's just on my desk right now, for that very reason- no idea where to put him.

I don’t have much display space at the moment, so Death’s Head is in the pile of toys I’m currently actively playing with, on my coffee table in front of the couch in the living room. He’s about to pound on an Owlbear.  I ordered a second one, which is in the drawer in my desk at my office, where I keep my work toy stash. I was making him throw down with the Destroyer on one of my breaks today.

Finally received Death's Head. Was a bit anticlimactic. It's a great sculpt, with plenty new on a familiar base. He felt a little gummy, which is surprising because the weather here in Jersey has significantly cooled. I'm a little bummed by the limits of the old ab hinge joint, would like to have seen a pivoting diaphragm. Also wish he had two grip hands rather than that one open hand which is an odd, almost spell-casting gesture. Would have been cooler if it was maybe clawing, or just plain gripping. I love how the weapons can store on his shield, but am bummed that he can barely hold the shield. It's so small too, almost silly. I prefer it as a backpack for his weapons. Kinda wish there was a way to combine the weapons into a larger melee weapon. I'm sure I can find parts to try that. I do love the packaging and ordered another just to keep in the package. I didn't love how the power ratings did not list what power was actually being measured (strength, speed, stamina, durability, etc). I guess I can always refer to the original card. Anyway, I really dig the figure and he looks awesome with DH2.

@spideyboy1111 I'll be putting mine next to a TARDIS cookie jar someone gave me a while back that lives on my TTRPG shelf (it's holding dice instead of cookies). The thing is surprising close in scale to ML so I think he'll look great there. 

As an aside, I've always sort of assumed DH had an accent (presumably a UK one given his origin), but I can never figure out what accent it should be. Any thoughts?

 With his yes's I always thought he sounded like a more British sounding beast wars Megatron . Also definitely post pics of deaths head by the TARDIS when you get him.

As for where on the shelf I will put death's head I think I will display him next to Crystar, Angela and the upcoming ROM along with the tiny Baron karza that came with the sdcc Hasbro idw set. And together they will form the "marvel associated characters with complicated legal histories" shelf 😉
