The original Clones were pairs of Transformers that had identical robot modes, but changed into different altmodes, so this isn't quite the same deal - in Transformers 3 (aka, the "good" sequel), there was a team of Decepticons known as the Dreads. All three disguised themselves... http://www.oafe.net/yo/hml2_bts.php MARVEL MONDAY! Spidey is built from Hasbro's version of the Bullseye body, which means he's almost identical to Black Costume Spider-Man, right down to the too-large waist chunk. Come on, Hasbro, fix that already. He does have a few new pieces, which may or may not come from previous Spider-Men... http://www.oafe.net/yo/sw1mh.php Mawhonic is a Gran, the same species as Ree-Yees, the three-eyed goatman who hung out in Jabba's palace.

The... http://www.oafe.net/yo/hml2_mm.php MARVEL MONDAY! The articulation is as you expect it: injection-molded ankles, hips, elbows and shoulders, double-hinged knees, swivel thighs and wrists (way down inside the gloves), a swivel and a hinge for the torso, and a true balljoint for the head. Her hair is soft PVC, so it doesn't... http://www.oafe.net/yo/sw1rt.php Though this figure was released in the black-carded Vintage Collection, that wasn't always the plan. He was originally intended for 2009's Legacy Collection (the one that had Stormtrooper helmet-shaped blister cards, remember?), which is why his articulation isn't as crazy-advanced...
