I do the same with Warstar, Strong guy, and a handful of others that fit perfectly scale-wise.
Warlock was also one of my faves, but I never picked him up back then. He also fits in the scale. I gotta agree though, I hated it when they started coming preposed and lacked decent articulation. Some of the worst offenders were in the robot fighters line and generation X line. They had perfect sculpts, awesome costumes, but such horrible articulation.

I' making a custom Annihillius from an X-Men 2099 guy...er...some red winged dude (never read that title) and a FF Annihillius head with McFarlane dragon wings.... Damn! I cant find my camera's computer cable! I'll upload pics soom- promise! And yeah, the ones i miss others in that thread also cover, like Uatu among others like Puck from alpha flight, and that dino/girl two pack from the most wanted line. |

It's been said, but yeah 2nd edition Wolverine was just hot shit. Went through a few and the left arm fell off on every one. Really dug Cyclops II (I remember drooling over that entire upcoming wave) and the '90s X-Factor Havok as well. Somewhere here I have unopened Wolverine II, III, IV, V, VI and the first wave Nightcrawler Archangel and Magneto. What the hell do I do about the glue deteriorating on the cards?

Anyone remember the repackaged figures later on with new parts? Like there was an unmasked wolverine II I think, with a repainted mask from the 1st Wolverine.

I remember being sooooo stoked about Cyclops II, Phoenix (I almost peed), Morph, and Iceman. Iceman was so damn hard to find. I think I found a couple in a Walmart in Daytona Florida on a family Vacation. My sweet mom (who was always amazing and drove me around to look. Hey I was only 12 or 13) got excited about Iceman too and picked up all the ones they had there, ha! I sill have those Near mint on the card back home in GA in storage. I have the best mom!

I totally had a 2nd ed. Wolvie, repainted in metallics and sporting the 3rd edition (unmasked) head. I think I got him with the Blackbird? Does that seem right? As for the arm always falling off, maybe I just loved him too much.

Really like the Deathbird figure, also the Astral Xavier figure I used straight out as a Shadow King (given that there was never a figure made of him except for the bottled figure with AOA Apocalypse.) The Ninja Psylocke was awesome as well but ended up, for me being a customized Selene. Also Halocau---er Nemesis.
But I think my favorite of all was probably the Onslaught Apocalypse. Extremely well crafted figure! |

That would be the one! I remember seeing him on the back of the packaging and he was sort of back-lit by red light and I thought you could see his organs and I was so pissed off about that, Lol! Thank the lawd that wasn't the case. I was a naive child.

Damn brian I'm feeling nostalgic I might bust out my figures for a photo shoot! Does Xman have ball jointed legs? The later figures seemed to have a big Joe Madureira influence going on.

Favorite!
And that X-Man only has forward/backward articulation (thighs, knees and ankles). You're right on about that Joe Mad influence though. Also, my kitchen is overrun, been snapping pics of all my in-package stuff. I'll put a link to my Photobucket in my sig when I get it all set up. |

Man I skipped the 10" figures back in the day, thinking they were nothing more than 2 ups. I was wrong! Sure some of them didn't add much, but battle damaged wolverine had elbow joints, and a later retool had a removable mask! Not to mention the sculpt overall looked better.

I LOVED this toy line as a kid, it was how I was introduced to the X-Men. My first one was the original Magneto, followed by Storm. Then I discovered the animated series, and I was hooked for life. I got fairly close to having all of them. I remember looking for the original Nightcrawler for years before finally finding him. And I still have all of mine. In fact, I actually have plans to get them out of storage soon. I can't wait to dig through them again, and I hope to make a place to display them all some day. Among my favorites were the various Nightcrawlers, Domino, Phoenix, Polaris, Wolfsbane (New Mutants sub-line), and 3rd edition Cable. And the Blackbird playset was so cool. The Classic and Giant-Size box sets were awesome, as well as the Famous Couples sets. Good memories. Well, except for the years of searching for a Havok that was never made (his head was on the front card artwork). Last edited by Greylight; 04-16-2011 at 12:00 AM.. |

That one came with the Wolverine 4x4 (jeep). Here is a pic.

Yeah, hell I gave all of my X-Men toys to my buddies' little brother when I was like thirteen. Years later he ended up donating them all save one, my 2nd edition Wolverine which he gave back to me. From there I slowly amassed a modest little collection of nonsense I'd score from local antique shops.
@Greylight: Nice find on that 4x4, don't even remember when I picked up that Wolvie. And now, some random Nightcrawler love from my In Package album: |

Yes that's the one, the one with remnants of mummy wrappings on him. I just really like the design as it's so different than standard Apocalypse (although I really love the overall design of Apocalypse anyways, so it's even more of a win-win situation for me.)

That Nightcrawler fig was sweet back then- he looked so pissed off!
YOu remember the X-Force line? I'm looking all over for a Comcast figure (funny name now that the media giant is so well known). That fig had a great flying thing he stood on and he looks to be a perfect base figure for making a custom MU scale Mandroid figure. |

Man 1992 was a good year. X Men series 2 & 3 on the cardbacks looked so awesome!

Sabretooth II was a hilarious character... one of the most "hung" 90's action figures. Was sooooo funny. All other male characters were "smooth" 'cept the Tooth, who was VERY "happy" during the sculpting phase.
