Head Swapped Marvel Legends Drax 1
So for many fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, the figures of Drax were good but were lacking in the likeness for Dave Bautista, but with the release of the figures for Guardians Vol.3, we got a great new head sculpt. It did raise the question for me, can the new head be used on the older Vol.2 body? You know, the one with the yelling face? The answer turns out to be, well...yes. The skin tone is almost a dead on match to the Vol.2 body as is the red paint on his face. This is a VERY easy head swap and it takes almost no effort. The ONLY thing I did was after test fitting the head and finding it was a bit loose was to take the head back off, warm it up which allowed the plastic to relax again, cool it off under some cold water and put it back on and the fit was nice and snug
Aside from the Marvel Legends Cosmic Rewind boxed set from Disney, which uses the Vol.1 head, so not the best likeness this is the only other way to get both a great Dave Bautista likeness for Drax as well as it being his shirtless look.
