I really want a Hangman figure, but the series 5 figure really has me on the fence. I think his first scan is better, but alot of times the face looks better in person. Problem is, because of the bandana, I can't see the scan unless I buy it. I'm also afraid I'll have a problem with him being so large.
I guess I'm just trying to see if anyone else had any concerns but ended up buying it and loving it.

I love the figure. I had absolutely zero intentions of buying it at all because I'm only a passive Hangman fan at best, but when I happened across it at Wal-Mart the other day, I was hooked. I haven't taken his bandana off, so I can't speak to his face. He looks pretty badass with it on, so I'm leaving it as is - it's part of the look that sold me the figure. I love the accessories...I kinda skipped on using the pitcher, but the whiskey glass looks awesome in his hand. I'd recommend grabbing it.

I like it since it is more updated to current attire and no longer has the "clown" boots. The face scan is not as good as the first figure though, and he is taller than probably he should be.

I'm still waiting for a Hangman with a really good scan. Also, I haven't really seen his figures next to other ones, but I keep hearing about issues with the height. That kind of thing never used to bother me, but I keep looking over at my joshi shelf and seeing a Shida standing at an Etsuko Mita scale in comparison to everyone else (that reference is not gonna land, why did I even. She's tall, is the point).

Just like series 2 boot size issue .. the series 5 height is an easy fix ... but if your not sold there will be plenty more Hangman figures soon enough

His new tights look I was most excited for but everything throws it off finally having it in hand. All the looseness, the height, the belt being its separate piece.
For the face, the eyes don't stand out as much as they should. All the emphasis on the dark circles, plus a lot of the paint is glossy. Gives it that Vasoline sheen.

I love the S5 over S2, but if I were you, I'd wait for the inevitable Dark Order attire with the green/purple/black gear. It'll definitely happen since it was a big moment for the show.
But I might be in the minority where I like the S5 scan better. Plus the boots are fixed too

I might pop the torso off series 2, and pop that on series 5 legs

It's a good figure though the height is my biggest complaint. I have both of Hangmans figures and I prefer the series 5 one over the last one.

Series 5 Hangman is definitely my favorite of the two. From accessories to deco I feel like it's on a different level.

Maybe the third time will be the charm? Series 2 has the clown feet. Series 5 way too tall and a subpar head compared to Series 2. Hopefully the next Hangman all will be corrected. That said I like the series 5 attire more.

I took the feet from Series 5 and put it on his Series 2 figure to get rid of the clown feet, and that's the one I have on display. I like his tights look but think the head is better on Series 2. Plus, I'm positive we'll get a lot more Hangman in tights.

With the mask on it looks badass on a shelf.

Has anybody swapped the head or entire upper torso? Does that look any better?

And if you swap the upper bodies the Series 2 figure will look odd. Fair enough - does the resulting series 5 + 2 mix look good though? I think I'll be waiting for an updated figure with correct head scan though.
