While I'm not interested in the movie stuff, that is a pretty cool picture.

That's Rebecca Romijn Mystique right?

THIS is what I've been waiting on. Bring on the preorders.

If I remember correctly J-law wouldn't approve her likeness for toys.

Good

Thor Laserpunch · 07-13-2020, 10:52 AM

Lmao... yeah she stinks on ice.

Veronica Mars · 07-13-2020, 10:58 AM

I would hope a J-Law figure would include some pins and needles to stick in the damned thing

I never saw the first stimulus even though I qualify.

Or a pitchfork.

Sigh. Now I have to decide. I have a good amount of MCU stuff. Do I also dip into the XCU, which likely means i go whole hog on it, or do I skip it all? Money money money.....I know what I SHOULD do, I just don't know if I will have the willpower.

Well if you weren't a fan of the XCU, I'd say hold off, 'cause you know sooner or later we'll get MCU X-Men figures (though who knows how far down the line that'll be...)

Thor Laserpunch · 07-13-2020, 11:34 AM

I’m skipping anything with actor likenesses based on a) I won’t care in 5 years b) they likewise probably won’t retain value as memory fades and popularity declines and c) actors do stuff all the time that makes me hate their guts permanently.

I can see this head being reused for darkstar possibly.

omega145 · 07-13-2020, 12:38 PM

Seems weird to me to make characters now when we probably won't see those characters in those likenesses ever again. Easy pass for me on any movie figures from that we most likely wont see in the MCU.

We call this a cash grab

Some collection updates
Squirrel Girl arrived in the mail today, suoer cutem I'm impressed with how many new parts she has. My only gripe is the solid tail, they should have for a way to hollow it out.

More Exiles than I ever expected to have

I know he was never part of X-Force, I always thought Nate would have made an interesting addition to the team

Just popped a Jean Grey head on to see how it would look

If anyone has a spare belt from the grey Walmart Widow hmu

Panther · 07-13-2020, 01:06 PM

I'm buying all of the Fox X-Men figures, plus an additional Professor X/Magneto 2 Pack. Would've loved a Juggernaut and Colossus from Deadpool 2, since they gave us the other key characters from that film. Would still love to see some variations of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Beast, and so on.

The SDCC Exclusive could easily include any or all of those characters

I really hope so. I'm definitely in the minority here, and that's okay, but I would love to add these figures to my shelf.

Not that weird. Companies are still making toys of the Keaton Batman and Reeve Superman despite subsequent reboots, after all.

Thor Laserpunch · 07-13-2020, 02:49 PM

They just made John Wesley Shipp Flash last year ffs...

Starlord67 · 07-13-2020, 02:56 PM

So we MAY be seeing a Hellfire Club set tomorrow? (Fingers crossed)

sh002 · 07-13-2020, 03:37 PM

DOFP was just released on Disney Plus so there will be younger collectors and older collectors who like the movies that will be buying the figures. I like all Marvel movies and I buy at least 2 of every X-Men figure so I’ll be buying the movie figures. It would be nice if Hasbro Pulse sells movie Cable in addition to Walmart. It worked for other regular exclusives sold online and Hasbro Pulse (Black Series Han Solo Carbonite, 4-LOM and Zuckuss, and Classified Cobra Commander Regal Variant). As for SDCC exclusives, NECA is selling them through Walmart and their NECA store. Hasbro should do the same and sell them through Hasbro Pulse in addition to Walmart to make fans happy. Walmart sucks.

I’d buy a movie Sebastian Shaw and a 2 pack of Logan and X-23.

True but Keaton and Reeve were iconic, aside from Wolverine, Professor X and Magneto, I don't think you could call the rest of the portrayals in those movies as iconic

It worked with the female prime sentinel so, Nien!

Yeah but he was also on the new show last year

Dorkside is selling the Sentinel to US customers cheaper than BBTS with free shipping and no tax.
