It came from the Toy Chest: Reed Richards is elastic... deja vu?

Walgreens vs Modern
I know that the custom Johnny Storm shown is not
the Walgreens Human Torch. I simply used to custom
instead of torch for the sake of having a Johnny vs Johnny
I believe that Fantastic Four could use a week of Legends reviews, if it wasn't for the fact that this wave is so underwhelming.
Read me charge scientific genius and leader of the team of explorers known as The Fantastic Four. According to the 90s Fantastic Four theme song He's elastic. Then again his nickname is stretch.

Articulation:
Everything the Walgreens Reed Richards can do this one can do as well
That is because both figures share the same body and the same limitations from the Walgreens Richards apply to this figure as well.
4.0

Paint and sculpt:
While both figures share the same sculpt, there are some slight differences between them. The head sculpt on the bearded Reed is not the same as the classic Reed. They honestly do not look like the same guy. The sculpting on the shoes is the other big difference.
4.0

Accessories:
Here, the Walgreens Reed is far more... Fantastic.  the ultimate nullifier extra stretchy arms are a lot better than hands with stretchy fingers.
but remember when I mentioned that this Reed shares his body with the Walgreens Reed?
Well, if you made either a Johnny Storm or an amazing Bag Man out of a spare Reed Richards body you should have some stretchy arms laying around.
The blues look better in person
If you have two patients you can repaint them and have a modern Reed with the real stretchy arms he deserved.
 otherwise you're stuck with creepy long fingers.
 aside the creepy fingers he comes with a piece for the super skrull.
4.0

Overall
Reed gets a 4.0 as his final score.  I understand that getting a build a figure and two brand new sculpts on the same wave can drain the budget a little bit. I just wish that his official accessories would have been a bit better.
