Marvel Legends Rogue Touch Up

[Summers71]

Hey Fellow Collectors,

I’ve been debating tracking down the retro Rogue from Toys R Us here in Canada, but thought I’d give this head and hair swap a try first. I kinda like the way it looks, but was curious what y’all thought first. I took the Rogue/Pyro two pack alternate head and replaced the ponytail hair with the Marvel Select Rogue hair. I also added the hair band from the original Jim Lee Rogue.

Here it is...

I think that looks pretty good. My only issue is more a personal one but I don't like windswept hair as the figure will always look either in motion or like they're in a wind storm.

Nice work Summers, you would have made a fair plastic surgeon. And as for windswept hair sentinel, I would consider this more of a head tossed hair. I've seen some that make the figure look like its moving 100 miles per hour, or walking in front of a huge fan.

Thanks for the input sentinel and silverback!

I never really noticed the wind swept look until you mentioned it sentinel.

haha also liked the “plastic” surgeon comment!!

this rogue head is starting to grow on me. I still might keep an eye on the Target/Toys R Us retro Rogue, might even attempt a trip to the local Toys R Us if we ever get out of Lockdown!

This is tempting me, I've been thinking about doing the same thing with the smiling two pack Rogue headsculpt and the VC Rogue hair.....

Hey, like the Spiderman and his amazing friends used to say, "Go for it"! They must have been talking to you because I don't have the stones to even attempt this level of customizing.

I kinda wanted to use the other Rogue head too, but the eyes on that head sculpt were a bit off, so I opted for the head you see.

With a little hot water and a bit of patience the hair should pop off 🤞🏻

That's my biggest reason for not trying it yet, the Retro Rogue has a LOT of hair and heating up all that plastic to get to the glue is gonna take a loooooong time....as you already know

It looks pretty good almost makes me want to try this myself.

Pretty cool.  From some of the headswaps I saw in places like Shartimus Prime's review, I would have thought the Legacy Rogue head (either) would just be too small, but the big hair seems to balance it out quite well.
