I’m super disappointed that there doesn’t seem to be the alternate heads for Penta and Fenix like we saw advertised at Toy Fair. I love their figures and attires, but I’ve always hated open mouth and screaming scans.
It feels a little scummy when you preorder a figure and then accessories are removed without any notice. I felt the same with the new Ricochet being advertised to have a new scan only for him to have his old one. Not a huge deal, but I’m really bummed to get amazing figures Penta and Fenix with dumb (only my opinion) expressions.

Figures look great, but I just can't ignore...
- No alternate heads for Lucha Bros - No alternate hands for Lucha Bros [EDIT: looks like Penta has one alt hand] - Hangman's bandana can't cover his face
Outside of that, I love them.

Where’d the accessories go? Everybody in series one had something. Now, most of the line’s bare bones. Even the extra hands have disappeared.
That Hangman head is awful. How hard is it to get a straight face for the guy? When has he ever made that expression?
Mox is great, and Penta still looked great in the loose pics Fenix is a bit of a disappointment but still happy to have him in the collection eventually.

Lets talk about Hangman for a second.
A. Extra hand is just Kennys gun hand?, but with more of a tan? More of a tan than the Kenny or Hangman figures themselves [Might just be the picture posted though]? B. All accessories are the hard plastic, no soft goods? [The Rope and Bandana being plastic is extra disappointing] C.

I wouldn't sweat the tone of the Page's extra hand. It looks fine in the MOC pic.
I completely missed the bull rope in the MOC pic on my first few passes.
The bigger tone disparity for me? The difference in color between Fenix's upper and lower torsos. Yikes.

Yeah I just edited my post because I noticed the MOC picture as well. Looks fine. You think you can remove Chuckys head and stretch the bandana over it so it looks more like Adam Page?

Yeah the MIB hand looks to be the same color as the figure.

I 100% believe that the bandana over the face was intended to be an alternate head and that, like the others anticipated for this set, it was scrapped. That bandana is going to have all the pliability of a Mattel hat or headband at best, and no way does it fit around the face/head.

Is it me or does Hangman have Kennys skin tone as well?

Why is Dustin #15? EDIT: nevermind I see Pentagón, Jr. is missing from the pics
What happened to the extra bandana and Lucha Bros heads/hands? Did Moxley’s belt really eat up that much of the budget?
They’re already yoinking us with prototypes like Jakks lmao

Huh. Penta has Pentagon Jr. on the card. Guess that shatters a possible delay theory.

It's not a good sign that we're only two series into the line and they're already pulling switcheroos from the prototypes. It's clear that Hangman can't wear his bandana on his face which is disappointing but it's not a major issue. Pentagon is missing his extra head that was shown at Toy Fair alongside only coming with one extra hand instead of the three shown. They took all of the extras from Fenix which is just.. wow. So, we've had an absolute cluster launch for Series 1 and now Series 2 was "over-promised and under delivered". Not a great start fellas.
