Of course is great.. I am happy the design wasn't overwrought in this figures. They theist the right way for me, mate. Know what I mean?

[ariellagunas]

@veronicamars
That's exactly what it does. The Queens do have a waist swivel. They move a lot. I was impressed.. I think you'll like it.

That's a relief to hear actually, thank you.


I kinda like Rogue's new Excalibur Costume

@veronicamars

Ok. I'm so sorry. I meant a ball joint. At the bottom waist. It's all this technical specifications. Lol. They ar effing great. This is the set to get if you love the Claremont/Byrne period.
Nice thing, it's that I believe the torso is unique sculpt. The bonus have an overlay.

So, the ladies are the MVP. And I thoroughly agree.

Careful 'Poccy, she's a married woman!

I'm kinding wanting an --[A]-- (not the right symbols, however they do it is what I mean) and I can see him for the shoe in for a HoX wave, but three of him in ~3 years is a lot.

I should note, I'm reading and liking but not loving Dawn of X. I'm interested in what figures they put out, but aside from the totally awesome updates to Storm and Cyclop's new color scheme, I'm not that invested in a wave. I'm more interested in WHO they'll choose.

I'm really enjoying Rogue's new look too. I've always liked her in more green. It maybe an uncommon opinion, but I just don't like her Jim Lee brown bomber jacket look. Except for the hair. I can totally get behind her giant southern mane.

Hopefully Jean Grey in her Marvel Girl garb, Captain British Betsy and PROFESSOR X will be three of them.

@ariellagunas - I agree that the Chameleon and Hammerhead need re-dos and that civilian figures like J. Jonah Jameson, Aunt May Parker and Joe "Robbie" Robertson are all long overdue for figures. If we got bonus accessories with them, like a Spider-Slayer figurine with Jonah and Ms. Lion for Aunt May, that'd be all the better. And yes, with classic Shocker rumored to be on the way, he's a must have for me. I agree that the "TV 1" and "TV 2" figures could be "Amazing Friends" based, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got some kind of "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" retro figures for the old Toy Biz box art. Why Hasbro didn't make any animated series figures last year for the series' 25th anniversary is something I'll never know. And I really hope the re-release of Cyclops, Jean Grey, etc. with accessories does happen, as well as Jubilee. Whether it's in a retro wave, the Best Of X-Men wave or a Build-A-Figure wave that has accessories instead of a B.A.F. piece, it'd be great to see the figures get more accessories of their powers. I hate that most figures like Jim Lee Cyclops and Chameleon are insanely overpriced on Ebay and Amazon.

As a side note, I am also well aware of how hard it is to decide what to keep and what to save when it comes to moving. I've moved into more homes than normal due to how my family and I grew up. Losing most of my collection was not of my choosing -- it was by water damaged homes/garages and bad moves into new homes that my family and I still can't talk about. Two thirds of my belongings in the 30+ years I've been collecting since childhood is gone and a lot of what we all lost still hits me hard. In some cases, I'm literally back at square one and having to recollect favorite characters all over again.

@Captain Nash - NICE top ten list, bud! I'd buy every single one of those! Top 10 lists are always fun to do and I make Top 10 lists more than most. If Hasbro's reading, this would be my Top 10 figures I want to see for 2021 more than anything:

#1.) Mr. Fantastic [Negative Zone blue-and-white Fantastic Four costume with a serious/calm head, an alternate smiling head, and bendable wire stretched arms accessories]
#2.) Invisible Woman [Negative Zone costume that's fully-visible, with a serious calm head, an alternate smiling head, and an invisible force field accessory]
#3.) Johnny Storm [Negative Zone costume with a smiling head sculpt, an alternate set of fiery hands and fireballs accessories]
#4.) The Thing [Negative Zone suit trunks with a serious head sculpt, an alternate smiling head sculpt and alternate fist hands accessories]
#5.) Captain America [scaly-chainmail classic costume with a smiling Cap head sculpt based on the art of John Byrne, a Steve Rogers alternate head, and his round and triangular shields as accessories with straps inside each shield]
#6.) Daredevil [classic red costume with an alternate smiling Matt Murdock head and his billy club accessories]
#7.) Cyclops [Jim Lee era X-Men Blue Team 90s costume without the bomber jacket, with a new Cyclops head sculpt and a new red optic blast accessory]
#8.) Doctor Octopus [classic green-and-orange costume with an angry head sculpt and a smug smiling alternate head both based on the art of John Romita Sr., and bendable wire tentacles accessories please]
#9.) Sandman [classic look with the green-and-black striped shirt, normal arms and hands, and alternate sand hands/weapons accessories]
#10.) Mary Jane Watson [first appearance clothes with a smiling Mary Jane head sculpt based on John Romita Sr.'s debut panel from "The Amazing Spider-Man", vol. 1, #42)

The next ten are honorable mentions:
- Hulk [classic green savage with torn purple pants, open hands and fist hands accessories, and not a Build-A-Figure or two-pack/boxed set release]
- Spider-Man [classic Silver Age with the chest spider emblem's legs facing out at the sides, a "wavy lines" spider-sense accessory, an alternate Peter Parker head based on the art of John Romita Sr. and alternate open "wall crawling" hands]
- Doctor Doom [classic with "Kirby crackle" energy effects accessories and alternate Doombot head]
- Black Cat [classic with a new head sculpt and alternate first-appearance head with white eye lenses]
- Scarlet Witch [classic red-and-pink costume without metallic paint]
- Wasp [red-and-black classic costume with a smaller Wasp figurine]
- Luke Cage [classic Power Man '70s costume]
- Rhino [classic with a new non-angry-screaming head sculpt]
- Lady Deathstrike [classic -- seriously, she's long overdue]
- Hobgoblin [with a new bigger/better Goblin Glider, accessories of pumpkin bombs and/or razor bats, and alternate head of Ned Leeds, Jason Macendale and Roderick Kingsley]

Of course, I'd also love to see the retro Spider-Man wave continue with even more figures since Spidey's my all-time favorite hero, another retro classic X-Men wave, and hopefully a new Marvel Universe or "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" retro toyline.

[StuartGreen2019]

@Starlord67 - I agree, we need a Marvel Girl version of Jean Grey and Professor X's new look is one of the few new looks I like. Cyclops' 90s Jim Lee suit is my favorite (who's surprised by that?), so any costume he's had after hasn't looked as cool to me. And more Psylocke figures are always welcome.

@Veronica Mars - Wow, that's the first time I've seen Rogue's new costume and I surprisingly like it. I don't love it, but it's one of the better newer costumes she has. Like Cyclops, though, her 90s X-Men Blue Team suit is my favorite.

[Phantomcrow]

I am still expecting a retro x men wave.

My hope is -

Blue Beast in lab coat and glasses with Jim Lee head non mouth open.- fan channel

Cartoon Rogue in greenish grey jacket
Silver outfit Storm
Longshot
Classic Havok
Morph in Jacket with Good, Bad, and Senator Kelly head.
Jean in X Factor red and yellow X outfit w/ extra Cyclops head for Xfactor figure with hair showing.

[MeLikeJinx]

Oh man... if X-factor Jean comes out I am gonna regret not picking up vintage X-factor Cyke on sale for cheap when I could have. We already got Archangel and Iceman... who else is on that particular X-factor team?

If they do Storm in silver I have a feeling it won't be in another retro wave. The white suit was in the first retro X-wave and the repaint in black was again in retro packaging just as a fan channel single release. My point is I suspect Hasbro would put a silver version either in a normal wave or some multipack.

But I tell you, I was impressed with the swivel. Plus from an angle the ladies look good. I'm sorry if that sounds creepy. But I like some accuracy from the comics.
I was young ok? Look I am one on those that thinks the classic Storm should be better shaped. Wanna discuss some more? Let do it privately...
Nonetheless, the ladies in the Hellfire Club deserve their own display. It's different. It's sexy. I get it. But to me, it represents an special time in comics. Basically, when death meant something.
Well, that was dark.

uh.. if torso articulation is a "private message" discussion then I'll have to pass.

[ariellagunas]

@dr Kain.
I'm not a Power Rangers fan, but that Rita looks insane. The whole box set is cray-cray.
Can't wait.
And @stuartgreen
Aunt May with Ms Lion.? That is coming for sure. We need more granny. I might paint one gold to make her a herald of Galactus.

And yes, I m hoping for 60's Marvel Girl and Moira. And Prox Xwith that silly helmet.

Am actually really enjoying the House of X stuff. I'm subscribed to Marvel, so it's not biggie.

And, and, where's Callisto?
BTW, is Masque a man or a woman? Non-binary. They keep changing his/her sex? Same for Leech. Very confusing.

Apologies. I was tired and pissed and talking gibberish. LOL

Bruh your wainscoting and hardwood floors are to die for.

Oh and Kingpin. Also nice. Guess I should check the ole lcbs.

Of course not most. Statistically speaking, only about 15%.

Found War Machine at Target this morning. Canceled my pre-order. Walmart had the new Deadpool wave minus Warpath and Sunspot. Lot of new product showing up at stores between ML, GI Joe, SW Black and Vintage.

I picked up my Rita/ Zedd in store yesterday. Are some store holding to the old date for the end of the month??? I thought it was moved to 8/1. You can order and ship from the website right now. Shipping should be free if over 35$

We have everyone but Jean, and Jean would be super simple reuse of parts. Also the Cyclops pack in head I want would just be a repack of the Jim Lee. AND re-issuing grey beast in Blue with coat would give me this Beast. ( and another chance for people who did not get the first blue Beast.

I think X-Factor Jean has got to be a lock for either 2021 or 2022 at latest. Beast, Archangel and Iceman aren't that different from their already done figures, and it would just be weird to release X-Factor Scott and never follow through.

[MeLikeJinx]

Oh damn... I need to track down a vintage Cyclops before they make X-factor Jean then. I never actually read X-factor, but I remember those outfits from X-Tinction Agenda.

[sh002]

If this Beast was a tease then I’d buy it along with their Marvel Girl for X-Factor. Not sure if they would rerelease Iceman. Maybe colored white this time and with the belt included.

I think I’ll keep my spare Grey Beast and paint him blue for an X-Factor Blue Beast.
