Advent Calendar 06: Another Spider-Man villain with a hard head?

 

I am talking about the Maggia Enforcer turned crime boss, Hammerhead. Left for dead in an alley, the man who would become Hammerhead was found by disgraced doctor, Jonas Harrow, who replaced most of his skull with a nearly unbreakable steel alloy giving Joseph a Hammerheaded, uh, head and with a new head and delirousness from nearly dying, Joseph became an Al Capone wannabe gangster.
HH: Stand still, bug!
Spidey: *yawn* I could beat you in my sleep!


Articulation
He's in a suit which limits the abs and upper legs. Other than that he can pull most maf MAGGIOSI moves. I wish he had butterfly shoulders because they would've made holding his bat easier.
4.0
HH: Yer outta 'ere, bug!
Spidey: Oof!


Paint and sculpt
Hammerhead seems to be built on the Jon Favreau body. He has a brand new head and not a reuse from Chameleon. One of his hands has a Knuckle duster with the word head in it.
Paintwork is really good and the suit even has pinstriping like a Maggiosi from the 20s.
5.0
HH: You ain't nothin' but a punk!


Accessories 
2 extra hands
Baseball bat
It says head backwards, so it gets printed properly on the fool's body... by fool, I mean the one who dared cross Hammerhead.


I hate the no gun policy. Hammerhead really needed a gun, specifically a Chicago Typewriter. Don't get me wrong, the mat also works as a tool of the trade but, to get the whole Al Capone wannabe look you need a Thompson machine gun. Good thing Todd has me covered.
4.0
Now THIS is a perfect Hammerhead!


Overall
Hammerhead gets a 4.33 as his final score.
Honestly the biggest offender here is the lack of a Tommy Gun for Hammerhead. That's like having a Wolverine with no claws or Thor without his hammer. Other than that he's an amazing figure
