That Beast is one of the best figures from the Toy Biz line. I'm sure when Hasbro does release him, likely in the 2019 or 2020 wave at latest, it will be better somehow, but I really don't see how. The only reason I'm not personally clamoring for a new Beast is because of how well he's already been done.

All they have to do is put Beast on the Jackal body and I'll be happy.

Not a look, they came with comic reprints.
That Beast was a major pegwarmer around here, which always surprised me. |

Please. I get that there's demand for both styles, but Hasbro's (slowly) filling out the Jim Lee-era X-Team, and I think they'd be more inclined to give us bulky-Beast first.

Id be down for either. Im with you in id prefer the bulkier blue jim lee first as well. The grey avengers-esque beast could be part of a two pack with say lab coat hank pym.

Beast 5'11 looking UP at Sasquatch who's 10ft tall. News flash newbies, Beast isn't a 7ft 500lb Gorilla no matter that some new artists try & draw him as. Hasbro just has to size this MU version of Beast to 6 inch scale with added ab crunch/biceps swivel & alternate closed mouth head & alternate open /closed hands/fists & that would be a perfect ML X-Men/Avenger figure imo. |

I'm really looking forward to leaks prior to and the reveals for SDCC for X-Men. I'm guessing it's nearly 100% guarantee that over the 2019/2020 waves we will for sure see Beast, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Professor X, as not done by Hasbro core X-Men (well Beast was but way back in the day), and classic Mystique and Sinister as the remaining core X-Villains. @Exodus - do we really need another Fantomex? |

2 - "Some new artists"... you do realize that, even ignoring the differing art styles, he's been pretty consistently drawn with a broad, muscular physique as far back as the late 1980s, right? Given that we're now in 2018, and he's been around since 1963, that's close to half, or even over half, of his entire existence. Sure, some current artists might be drawing him more exaggerated, I don't know. I haven't seen him in more than a guest appearance in a book for a while now (aside from young, pre-fur Hank in X-Men Blue). But he's been drawn for around thirty years as a lot more muscular. Look, ya scalemonger, I'm not saying there's not room for both versions - in fact, I encourage it - but the style that a lot of people, including non-comics fans, are more familiar with is the bulkier version. So I'd figure that Hasbro would be inclined to go that route. Quote:
True but while they've indicated intentions as such, that's not a rule. Look at Storm and Colossus. I would guess yes we'd likely get a JL Beast first, as redoing a Beast on a different mold is likely more costly than most figures due to unique parts. But who really knows...
Noooooooo we don't

Agreed! Just add the articulation and it’s done. And to cover both JL X-men beast fans and Classic avengers beast fans have the closed mouth head be the avengers era head sculpt. |

I do agree on that. At least half of what we're getting is Jim Lee era looks. I just don't want to build up hope and be disappointed, like I think most of us were with Storm (though not just JL look but FA as well one of the two).

No thanks, I’d rather see some 90’s version of X Force; Feral, Boom Boom, Cannonball, Warpath. |

This does bring up an interesting question though: which 90s/Jim Lee-style modern Hasbro X-Men do we have and which ones are we still waiting on?
So far we have (either now or coming soon): Wolverine (Brown Costume and Tiger Stripe) Cyclops Jean Grey (she could use a redo on an updated buck though) Archangel (might need a re-release though) Psylocke Rogue Bishop Phoenix (only if you're going by the 90s cartoon) Then you have a couple of X-affiliates/villains with costumes accurate to that era, like Cable, Deadpool, Shatterstar, Multiple Man, Juggernaut, Sabretooth, etc., We're very close to full roster of the 90s team. Just a couple more figures, but unfortunately, Hasbro has already released members of that team in costumes from a different era and I'm simply not sure of the likelihood that we'll see them revisit these characters so soon. It was awesome of Hasbro to give us the two most iconic versions of Cyclops within one year, but I highly doubt we'll see characters like Storm, Iceman or Colossus for a while unless Hasbro decides to release them in a multi-pack (which might not actually be a bad idea for rounding out the rest of the team). |

Every attempt to do this style of that character comes out horribly. |

Wolverine Rogue Cyclops Juggernaut Sabretooth Psylocke Jean Grey (though she needs to be redone because of cow eye syndrome) Archangel, though it's been a while Magneto (not a great one but it's fairly close) Forge (IMO the one from the two pack from 10 years ago holds up well enough he doesn't necessarily need a redo) Bishop Omega Red Shatterstar Cable Deadpool Apocalypse Stryfe we need, as far as core X-Men and the bigger name X-villains Colossus Storm Gambit Nightcrawler Beast Professor X Kitty Pryde (not really sure if this counts, did she have a "jim lee" look?) Iceman Banshee (because dammit that one from the first Hasbro wave should just be erased from existing.) Jubilee Domino Havok Polaris Sunspot Cannonball (sorry the one from the two pack does not hold up IMO) Syrin Boomer Feral (blah) Strong Guy Wolfsbane Rictor Warpath Lady Deathstrike Pyro Avalanche Mister Sinister Mystique Exodus (he was big in the early 90's) I'm probably missing some but that's a off the top of my head tally I'm putting in bold the ones I think we are more likely to get.

Does anyone know a decent/reputable site to buy Legends scale casts these days? Specifically, I'm working on a custom Magneto and I need his forearms and boots to complete the effect.
