As mentioned in today's Marvel Legends<\/i> Skullbuster<\/a> review, the figure comes with an alternate head that would allow you to turn the figure into a different Reaver, Murray Reese.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

But that's not really an ideal solution, is it?<\/p>\n

If you look at the Reavers, you'll see that Reese and Skullbuster really don't dress alike - Skullbuster has mechanical limbs and a dark shirt, while Reese goes bare-chested beneath his vest and mostly looks human.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But you know who does<\/b> dress like Reese? Nuke<\/a>. Yes, the failed Reaganomics super-soldier from Daredevil<\/i>. He mostly looks human, and wears a vest with no shirt beneath it. And thanks to Marvel Legends<\/i>' current construction style, you can turn one into the other:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The head is a little small, and the skintone doesn't quite match, but the big helmet helps hide that.<\/p>\n

It seems, like Shadow King<\/a> and Lilandra<\/a>, that this head is meant for a body other than the one it's sold with. And, if Hasbro wants to do a two-pack of the other \"human\" Reavers, it would give them another chance to reuse those Nuke molds, like they did in the Hydra two-pack.<\/p>\n
