How was the condition of the card? Mine should be delivered Monday. My crimson guard arrived in opener condition.

The card wasn't bent and the corners were in good condition; the box was padded with packing paper to prevent excessive jostling. I am quite satisfied with the condition given the relative flimsiness of the card used by Hasbro. Although I have some concerns for MOC collectors as the glue used to stick the plastic to the card is giving me Star wars TVC vibes - adhesion leave more to be desired. Anyways Snake Eyes looks badass.

Had my two shipped to me in the hasbro box they pack them in. Good fit and good extra packaging here.

Fedex just delivered mine. The size of the box they used left no choice but to bend the card. I hate Walmart exclusives.

Crimson Bat, Cover Girl, and Falcon appear to be stocked and shipping from Amazon.ca

Walmart packed it in the original Hasbro shipping box.. but there was still a slight crease on the left side of the cardback.. didnt bother me though, as the figure itself looked great

Falcon is inbound from Amazon.

I'm pretty happy with Falcon in hand.

No pictures yet, but now that I have him I'm more convinced that the issue with his head is less about the mold and more about how they have applied the paint to the mold.

I got out my nail polish remover and some Q-Tips and can already see a noticable difference on his original head just rubbing down the lips and eyebrows a bit. He also seems to have some weird eye shadow which I got partially removed as well.

In the end I think the Hood head will work as a nice alternate head to the regular one, as they are pretty similar in general. Could be the same guy with different facial expressions.

Did the Hood head fit easily, or did it take some work?

It has to be bulked up with glue gun, basically to get the right size hole for the peg
