Got my Deadpool today. I like the modern red figure, but the rest ... meh.
The display box looks nice and is pretty much the same as the previous figures. The retro box has the proper window so you can see Deadpool's head and the katanas are nice.
The back of the box shows a version of Deadpool you can't make with the set as the belts and straps are not brown and don't come with any gun holsters.
I'm not too happy with the retro figure. First why include flesh hands? Inside the pamphlet that comes with him they show red hands. Also, these are the only hands included in the whole set that can tightly hold a katana.
I really wish Diamond would sew a collar on the retro costumes, because the flesh color top of the chest poking out really makes it look bad. Why not just include a red body and hands? That would have solved both issues. Also the suit is really baggy in the crotch. It hangs down about 1/2" which really doesn't look good. Also, the pamphlet goes into great detail about "what would Mego do" (WWMD), but I think Mego would have used the correct color body, would of have a suit that fit and would have included a belt with pouches. I get the impression that WWMD just mean, who cares if its crap.
The modern Deadpool on a Type-S body is much nicer! The suit fits great. The head really doesn't fit as the neck gap is way too little but I just sort of squished it on, but since its not the body type that comes with the figure its hard to complain about that. The accessories are nice, especially the guns that fit perfectly in the trigger hand. I was hoping I could add the knifes, grenades and extra ammo pouches to the figure as they all have pegs coming out of them, but I couldn't find anywhere to plug them in. The pamphlet explains that these actually are from a different toy line. Instead of being impressed with how clever they are in re-using accessories, it just makes me mad that they threw in a bunch of crap to justice the price point that doesn't even work with the figure. I ended up sticking the knifes in the boots, which is okay, but have the pegs sticking out. The knifes look like they might come out of the the sheath, but I couldn't figure out how and didn't want to break them.
I didn't dress up the X-Force version yet, but I assume the suit will fit just as nicely as the red one. Also, the X-Force version comes with white fists, which you don't get in red.
I got to stop reading the pamphlet that comes with these as they just make me disappointed in what I ended up getting.
Personally, I'd rather pay $80 for one highly detailed perfect modern 8" Deadpool with accessories that make sense like Mezco is doing at 6", instead of 1 nice figure and bunch of extras that I won't end up using.
