Turtle Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for the promos, gang! Between the promo codes and Geo's great pics above, I couldn't wait to find the Hawkeye/Reaper set in store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The eye color may not be correct (not sure), but I think Tribble Kirk's smirk would work great for Hawkeye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) The heads that comes with Movie Hawkeye and this Boxset Hawkeye both have really light blue eyes, but if that doesn't matter to anyone, I think that Kirk probably would be pretty good. I have none of the Star Trek mates, but someone should throw this together so we can see how it looks. EDIT: other possibilities I've found could be Mini-Javelin Flash, Booster Gold or DC Series 1 Batman (or more correctly the face under the batman Mask.

Mirymate Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Um... what about the old Hawkeye's head? The face on him was the part that worked. And if I have one complaint... well kinda complaint, one of those small little niggles that you feel bad mentioning... with the new Hawkeye is the little arrow holder on his bow is on the wrong side. The Quiver is mounted to be best reached with right hand, bow in the left hand, in which case the arrow would be place on the "outside" edge of the bow, not the "inside" where the arrow clip is now. I only noticed because every time I try to pose him with arrow drawn, it looks "off". Tiny, tiny little thing all in all. Glad Zach hinted he was coming out, though it probably cost him a few "Worthy" boxed set pre-orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) I didn't manage to check old Hawkeye yet, but the thought had occurred to me. But from the database pics, his eyes look a bit farther apart than the new mask will allow for. I check. Hang on. EDIT: I was wrong. The eyes are fine, but the mouth is a bit higher on the face, at least on mine, so the mask kind of overlaps it a bit.

Bucky Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I must say, Kang turned out nice. Don't have any interest in him, but he still is nice. Speaking of which, if anyone has any extras from buying too many Kangs/Grim Reapers, talk to me. I still need to start up my collection, and the other parts of this set would help.

maxcarnage Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 well it took three phone calls, and one cross town drive but i got them! they only had the kang boxset out, but on me 3rd call i asked them to look in the back. while she was not able to do it then she said would check in the back later. i figured "yeah right, she would forget." but sure enough upon arriving at the store they had both sets waiting for me. the lady said that i was right that they had them in the back. so nice and pleasant, if not for the drive, and the price, i would say let ditch tru and get disney.

pavehawk78 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 My only complaint about the new Hawkeye is the mask is sort of thick. Overall though these are the best sets I've gotten in a while. Kang and GR are just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Why is Kang's face blue? Is everyone's face blue in Earth's future? Miry Clay.. help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Futuristic flex metal face mask on his armor. Some depictions show Kang as wearing form fitting blue flexible metal armor under the green tunic, with the outer helmet, collar piece and belt being placed over it all. How does rigide metal flex? And if it's flexing, how the heck does it provide and protection? Ask Stark, his armors used it for decades before Grell redesigned everything. Actually that one I do know: micro chain mail "stiffened" with magnetic force fields. Kang's armor goes a step further, and provides an animated face plate. Without the face place, Kang looks like Rama Tut and Immortus, unsurprisingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webhead Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 What exactly is wrong with the hawkeye face? I think it's great. I'm way behind in comics but hasn't he been mre serious since he came back from the dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes, just pop him in the freezer for 10 - 15 minutes and it should come off with a little effort. If not, just leave him in a little longer. I have been doing this with all my new Minimates and it works like a charm. Ok..maybe i'm not doing this right..but i've had this arm in the freezer for like 405 minutes and this scythe ain't moving. Any other advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Hawkeye is perfectly valid as expressions go, some of us just preffer to see his smirky displayed. So we're looking for a QC that'll work for that.

I just remembering someone posting about how the face has to go but not providing a reason why. then folks just talking about substitute heads. Now I know...and knowing is half the battle!

Yea it's all personal preference. Angry is what i think of Secret Avengers Hawkeye, but my preferred is confident Hawkeye, so Renner's head is perfect for me.

At the low,low price of $28.99 ea. :biggrin: Edited May 16, 2012 by bilbofett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
