Great Photos Kane. It really showcases just how many different looks some characters have in Legends form. Most of the core X-Men have at least two looks, excepting Gambit, Bishop, and Nightcrawler. That last I'm surprised on, but I still think there will be more AOA releases and that he'll be among them. Can't believe we have four different Rogue looks, and eventually we'll probably get FA Rogue too.

Still, there's always more wanted. GSXM Banshee, Classic Angel (could do twice with one blue/white and one red/white), Armored Psylocke, Modern Madrox, X-Factor Jean Grey, X-Factor Wolfsbane, Cannonball/Sunspot/Magik in New Mutants outfits, HOX/POX Storm (possibly the only HOX/POX look I still really want), and then completing the Astonishing X-Men teams, and they may even start in on the New X-Men Looks (Morrison's run), which personally, I'm fine if they don't, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I'm honestly surprised Hasbro has not rereleased Nightcrawler by now, even in a multipack or on a vintage card.

My top wants are Giant Sized Banshee, Destiny, X-Factor Wolfsbane, X-Force Feral, Excalibur Phoenix, and Leiland.

After them, it would be an army builder Alien Brood, Lilandra, Deathbird, Mesmero, original costume Polaris, red costume Angel, Byrne Beast, and then I'll take any members for the Marauders I can get.

I would love to get an original New Mutants line up and the original X-Factor, but I'd rather they be in multipacks than released in waves similarly to the yellow/blue costumes of the X-Men.

I've never seen any of that wave at Gamestop period.

I was mainly referring to alternate looks, but there's definitely some wanted new characters as well. I have several in my shortlist, but far and away the most X-character I want is Exodus. I feel like anything else would be awesome, but he's the only one I consider "essential" to get.

Ah, well for alternate looks specifically, beyond the mentioned Banshee, Angel, and Beast, I'd like them to at least finish the main crew from Age of Apocalypse with Nightcrawler, Storm, Gambit, Mystique, and Bishop. I wouldn't mind a Brotherhood Rogue either on top of the Fall of the Mutants look for Psylocke before she got her armor. Though, I would take the armored version too.

^I’m happy they made Infinity Gauntlet Eric Masterson, but I’m still not loving the choice of gold armored boots. I wish Hasbro had opted for a simple yellow with an added amount of luster to provide the illusion of metal.

On another note, most of my Ch’od, Puff Adder and Stature figs arrived this weekend. The standouts for me are Extremis Iron Man, Von Strucker, Chamber, Crossfire, and Egghead. I was also surprised by Kid Omega’s seemingly new body (60th Spidey) with zero pins, which I wouldn’t be surprised if Hasbro tapped for teen-male heroes moving forward. Hasbro is stepping up their head-sculpt game with Corsair, Egghead, Crossfire, and Molecule Man all possessing some better than average noggins. I’m still waiting for MCU Kang, Ultimate Cap, Emma, and Monet to finish Adder and Ch’od. I’m not completing Stature, however, I’m only missing her head and right leg, so that might change.

The Ch'od Wave is shipping from somewhere already? That's great news. I've only got Monet on order, though Amazon, but I'm really thinking about picking up Emma, Kid Omega and Chamber as well. And of course, that's 4 of 6 figures needed to complete Ch'od, which is usually the tipping for me to just go ahead and do it at some point. That would be 3 completely new characters added in too.

My Gambit/Psylocke/Banshee pack is supposed to be arriving tomorrow, so that's exciting. Between the 3 packs, Rogue, Retro and the Ch'od wave, we're getting a lot of core X-Men this year, even if half of it is focused on a particular era (but how nice is it to get that entire 7 member team look done in one year!)

Big Bad has all but Monet in stock, as of my typing this. Seems like they've been the first to stock/fulfill for the last few waves.

Thank you for the cool photos Kane.

Yay for the Ch'od (if a character were ever deserving of being renamed,...) line shipping. I can't tell if I love Emma or hate her, but I'll buy two and do a head swap if needed.

I'm excited for the figures that I know are coming, and look forward to seeing (and buying) the new models.

I want a Lilandra/Deathbird 2 pack. I want an Alicia Masters (random, but if we can get Mary Jane after Mary Jane after Mary Jane (love her) but still). I love how this line has me finding new characters that I want made into figures while still patiently waiting for for mutually wanted models to be made (Destiny! Crystal!). Congratulations to those who get their models early.

What's wrong with Ch'od's name now?

Ch'od = Choad or Chode. It's not a new joke. And at this point boring for someone to point out. Besides that I think his name is supposed to be pronounced "Ch-ah-d"

Is it? I always thought it was Choode. Not sure what the joke is though.

[TheBlueMarvel]

The Thor vs Destroyer 2pack is live on Pulse.

And I also pronounce Ch'od, phonetically, as "Ch-ah-d."

It's two syllables with written cues as to how it should be pronounced....


EDIT: I just picked up Hyperion and Doc Spectrum from Gamestop.

Hip.

I feel you, but…how do I say this without coming off as a Hasbro apologist…I just opened my Ultimates Cap, and I AM NOT an Ultimates fan, but this figure is pretty damn awesome. If this is the quality they're preparing to transition to, I think some of the fans that have been driven off are going to think twice about that decision.

[Dr Kain]

YAY!!



At least I finally have a version of Banshee in my collection to hold me over. Oh, Gambit and Psylocke are cool too, I guess. Well, Psylocke's hands are different from what they showed on the box.

It depends on what type of poses you are putting him into. I've got Shadowcat grappling herself around his arm with his legs spread apart and he stands just fine.

EDIT: Man, I have to say that heads for Banshee are beautifully sculpted and painted. It is weird that they didn't have the same look for both heads, as his screaming head is more representative of how he looked in the early Claremont stuff and towards the end while his closed mouth head with the sideburns (or whatever they are called) was from when he lost his sonic abilities after the fight with Moses Magnum.

I wonder if this means when they do get to the Cockrum Banshee if they're going to give us a standard head that matches the screaming one.
