MMC's Death's Head comic, yes?
MMC is tempting the Mouse now. A flagrant Death's-Head-hunts-down-Lockdown (for Tarn!!) pack-in comic.

I thought it looked terrible when I saw it at TFN, and with a perfectly adequate proper Marvel DH toy (and with DHII coming always the possibility of more) I'm not sure what the point is of a badly compromised transforming one.

It's pretty crappy, to be honest. It barely stands up, the weapons struggle to stay clipped into the back, as does the shield, and his chest-plate isn't attached. And it's not his best (original) costume.with a perfectly adequate proper Marvel DH toy
I haven't even started on the lack of poseable eyebrows...
The DH2 one looks alright, mainly because it's hard to **** up an over-muscled Predator rip-off.
Buckled on the MMC figure after seeing some people come up with better pics. The head suffers under certain lighting and angles, as does the fairly wiry body, but in-hand it's pretty much everything a transforming DH design should be.
Cons: As others have commented, MMC quality sure has slipped though. The weapon attachments need slight shaving to fit in the backpack holes (not difficult, it's soft plastic [to reduce snapping risk I assume -- possibly why it hasn't shaped as precisely], just run a blade away from the part on the handles) and the packaging solution with gluing the first page of the comic to the box is really irritating and looks cheap when doing it as a normal booklet would have been fine. Chainsaw is rather oversized and I presume is more for another variant but was included anyway?
Pros: It's very hefty for the size after years of Hasbro hollowness and the shield and weapon attachments look the business and make sure that this feels like a DH figure first and not an adaption of another character.
