Finally had time to unbox mine. It has issues but overall I dig it. Both my headsculpts came with the dented tip nose from the packaging, had to heat em' up with a blow dryer to reform them. My belt was also stuck to the green part of the costume; had to heat it up as well and slowly pull it away to avoid tearing up the overlay on the suit.

Finally was able to open mine today. Despite some of the issues, I love having a Rogue in my collection. I had the belt stick to the green as well, so had to heat and carefully remove. Still had a small part stick near the seem, but not real noticeable.
I don't like the belt at all. It's way too tight which rubs the yellow part to easily and always rides up. Plus she always wore it loose to where it hung on her hip. Still not a fan of the second headsculpt, but I do like the standard sculpt. Seems like you need to be careful with the crotch graber as it easily dents the yellow portion of the suit.
I think the suit hugs the body very well like the character is always portrayed in the show, comics, and art. The hair has great dimension and two piece magnetic system they did with it is nice. Overall it's a great figure and will be interesting to see how others modify.

Thanks. She's been fun to mess around with and try to capture those images I remember from the cards I had of her. I really wish I had the SooSoo Gambit to go with her, but the SSC version will have to do.
Wow…what is going on Pop Collectibles, still no word. Folks bust TW which I’ve been fortunate to have no issues and this is DOA

My nice and cheap new head arrived- just in time for the weekend- and it looks better than expected. Will only need some very minor touch ups. It’s slightly larger than the stock head, which I think makes it more proportional. Just need those new boots to show up!
Feeling pretty optimistic about the upcoming mod. May even attempt to paint and style the Barbie hair first to see what sort of results I can get out of it.
If that’s a bust, I’ll just rip it off.

I agree, I think the stock head is a little undersized when you remove the hair. I'm curious to see how this turns out.
You prefer this head over the stock version??? Wow - Chopper Face prefers...chopper faces. What in the world are you going to do to it? If this was Blade Runner and I saw that face, I would think, "That's a Replicant!" No Voight-Kampf test needed.

Same here. Only update was "Shipment Data Received" on June 1st.
UPDATE: Looks like the parcel started moving again after posting this, heh.

Hoping to find this parted out. Anyone know who might have it? I know blackopstoys and monkeydepot might, but i've struggled to find other good sites that part out non-military figures.

Finished my head mod and I’m very satisfied. Still waiting on those new damn boots though.
Was a tad more work than I’d expected but repeatedly waiting for the apoxy clay to dry probably made it feel like it took way longer than it actually did.
After undoing the plait on the new head, it became immediately apparent that there’s no way you could ever style that Barbie hair properly. Hair was only punched in at the front of the forehead and the back of the neck so I just ripped the hair cap piece clean off and got to dremelling.
Took the magnets out of the hideous stock smiling head so I could still make the hair pieces detachable. That’s where the real work was but ultimately it’s not that tricky.
Once the magnets were aligned, I sculpted on a headband, painted it, then gave the face several new paint apps; lipstick, some cheek blush and other subtle blotchiness, green eyes, smoky eye shadow, thicker eyebrows and lashes and matched the hair by her ears to the main hair colour- oh and I turned the grey hair white. Definitely looks better to me.
Pre-painting
Finished
I took an ‘under the hood’ video showing the magnets in action but it’s too large to upload so here’s some caps.

Yes, I prefer this over the stock haunted mannequin/ dehydrated crack whore heads.

I just tracked down a SSC Magneto. There are not many of him out there for sale. Excited to add him to my X-Men lineup. Next is to find a Cyclops.
