I know of those, but try to find them on Ebay and it will cost you at least 50$.

Forget those on ebay. You just have to be patient.
Marvel Universe will be re-using the SDCC movie Destro body for Professor X later this year.

Plus Men in Black will have some 4 inch figures...

Anyway seems a cheap alternative if you are going to customize anyway. __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

Yeah, still in Hazard. I have 2 headmen I thought of using. I'd like a 25th version with a lil more movement. If you mean the twins that came in the packs with other cobra troopers, there were very few on Ebay and they weren't cheap. I wouldn't be using them a lot, so I don't want to dish out 50$ when I could save that for a Dial Tone.

The only time the twins were done in suits was ARAH style with the TRU crimson guard pack (which used the Headman body, which would be a much cheaper alternative if you were just going to paint the body anyway).

With that in mind in looks like Professor X is your one option.

MIB might be but the articulation will probably be less on those, might be up to par with Face from A-Team though (that's what I have been reading anyway), so it will depend on how much movement you feel you need there.

There was a Batman Returns 2 pack that had a Batman and Bruce Wayne figure.

That's the body with a Zap head for a custom Hector Ramirez I did.

I have one loose and headless still (I think). The batmen became Yuuzhan Vong warriors (Star Wars fans will get the reference).

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".
