Good riddance Bucky Cap! It is finally time to make new figures with the highly revered butterfly joints with a new medium body. The next body that needs to be phased out is Pizza Spidey. I do not like the musculature. The new Retro mold is a neat replacement. But we need a skinnier body without the akward definitions of Pizza Spidey..

Total agreement on sending pizza spidey to the grave. The sooner the better. I'd like them to re-do the Vulture, only this time take that grin off his face. He's a grim, hateful old buzzard, not some laughing loon. An upgrade from the pizza spidey body is in order, and use the same textured feel they did with the alt Blackie Drago head.

I'm glad to see they're moving on from buckycap to newer molds. I really feel that the superarticulated Sunfire/Spider-Man buck is where Legends should be. That mold, in different sizes (its too small for the Vision, the Falcon, and Moon Knight but perfect for Spider-Man, Shang-Chi, etc) and also a female counterpart, is what the line needs now.

Looks really nice from what I can see. Based on his wider stance than the Bucky Cap figure, it appears he is a fair amount taller, which is great in my opinion. If this is going to be the go-to buck for 'average' figures moving forward, I am encouraged. I can't wait to get some side-by-side and back-to-back comparison pictures of the two. The pinless tech definitely gives the figure a smoother look and the feet look to be a good size larger and therefore more stable, than the Bucky Cap ones. Looking forward to seeing more characters with this buck.

I mean its a cool title and idea but theres no motion, movement to the poses. Everything, mostly is very vanilla and bland. This isnt a diss just advice. Daredevil looks good. Keep realism and personality in mind when it comes to poses. If it has a P.O.A. move it, twist, bend it. Bring the fig to life bro. Keep at doin your thing Bro

Well put!

its like the pin system from before except the pin is one with the bicep or forearmall molded together. Not sure how its pulled off in manufacturing. But you can Xacto the pin on the side of the elbow middle piece and heat it up enough to pull it off the cylinder. Its like the pre-Shriek female elbows (or elBros as we call Hasbros single elbows). Supergluing the cylinder back after replacing the forearm with something else is tricky. Its possible but the joint is not as sturdy after that.

Yes. Its way harder to mix n match biceps and forearms, thighs and shins/boots than the pinned versions. For arms you have to take the whole arm as is and for legs its really difficult since swapping whole legs is a crapshoot because of the differing hip socket sizes. Theyre not interchangeable.

Technically, you can cut the internal support pin and swap out at the knee and elbow but you risk locking the joint when you superglue it back and like a lot of pinned molds, the diameter of the internal support pins can be different.

I love the new look of pinless molds but, yeaha LOT more difficult to customize than the older ones.

Have they shown a diagram of this? I assumed they were sort of pinched in place. There is a pin inside somehow?

Great information. I figured it would be harder but certainly didnt realize HOW much more harder it would be.

Had ideas on how to improve certain figures but lack of know-how and budget prevents me from going all in..

again, thanks for the break down. Always interesting to get a peek on how customizers work.
