I only have three figures that have come with extra hands. Haven’t purchased any figures that come with extra heads so far.
Not a nuisance for me yet.

To be honest, just use more zip lock bags. I love them - particularly since they haven't increased the price of the figures. I wish more had interchangeable heads, too (I have zip lock bags of extra heads, too).

If you feel they're taking up too much space, throw them away, give them away, or sell them in a big lot of miscellaneous parts.
Getting extra stuff with a figure that costs almost 20 bucks is never a nuisance.

I have a pencil case I place all of the spare accessories in. It's not a huge problem since I have them separated by line (Mattel, NECA, imports, etc.)

My only regret is that the arms from figures I've collected in the prior 9 years aren't compatible with these interchangeable hands. Sure you can fill the wrist cavity with sticky tack, super glue, or squeeze them to close the space, but it's just more work. So far it's been fine for me. I swapped one hand on my FC Heenan with the Bryan pointing finger hand and it swapped just fine. Classic boil and pop. Same with my E67 Rey Mysterio. Swapped his giant hands with Sin Cara ones just fine. No filler needed.

I guess it's luck of the draw, but I'm sure bigger guys like Luke Harper, Brock, Kane, etc. will have massive wrist cavities and therefore won't take the skinny pegs of the interchangeable hands. I've also found that some suited-figures/BAF suit arms are pretty compatible so you don't have to do anything; some aren't though. I'm still on the hunt for either the latest Dolph or Alexander Wolfe's splayed out hands to fix up my DDP with diamond-cutter hands like marino13 did with his.

The only nuisance to me is who Mattel has chosen thus far to include an extra head with. I feel the extra head is under utilized.

His skin tone is the super pale like Sheamus. Dolph's is the same as DDP.

I get what you're saying. I almost always only use one set of hands and one head on a figure and leave it forever. The rest of the parts just get binned. I have at least two of those 18 gallon bins filled to the top with parts. It all used to be organized but at some point I just started tossing parts in there at random because I collect so many different lines that all come with various accessories. It's a rock and a hard place. On one hand you want to save parts in case you want to swap them out or use them on another figure down the road but on the other hand it all starts taking up lots of space. It's a good problem to have but I don't have the solution. I put the bins on a shelf in my garage until the day comes I have to figure out any kind of real solution to said problem.

I don't care for the extra heads and hands since I really don't use them. I've only used the extra hands on my DC Multiverse Batman Returns Penguin figure so he can hold his umbrella. I think I switched the hand on my Multiverse Batman Forever Batman. I swapped the long haired head on my Nia Jax figure that came with the extra heads. I never used the extra hands that came with Pat Patterson or Bob Backlund. Most of the time they just get put away in the accessories box

"How long until the Mattel consumer demo turns on a mostly popular new feature as the latest symptom in its uncontrollable inability to allow Mattel a single, solitary win?" I don't know, what's the average? Didnt you the first 5 words of the opening post? "Dont get me wrong" is the same as starting a sentence with "no offence but" You're either about to be wrong or cause offence. Worst thread of 2019 and that's impressive

Worst thread of 2019 and that's impressive Dont get me wrong, I think you're awesome for adding to the topic. And no offense to your wrong opinion, this is far from worst thread of 2019 (ESPECIALLY considering this forum.)
