Because Red Guard is one of my fave rioters. This figure sounded cool from the get go, but had concerned myself over the head size. Figure is a Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo Dimitri head and the Two pack Thinderbolts Red Guard. This head pops on and stays well connected at the top of the peg. I don’t shave cut any of my stuff. I replace parts sometimes to from a lot of the stuff. But I felt this Marvel Legends would be taller. Might be some of the retro stuff being made, someone wanted it smaller. It fits a hair over th six and a quarter mark on the ruler. Taller he may be but it is one of my all time fave riots. Give It A Hang
