Yeah, the Animated Series is the only time I saw him with X-Factor, so I just thought that was a cartoon thing.

RIP to Joe Sinnott.

ANYWAYS... yeah, the Forge debate rages on. LOL. J/K

I honestly don't remember Quicksilver as being a part of the team, I know he was, and this was one of the only X books I read consistently. I hated Lorna's red and gold costume, I did like the blue and gold one she wore afterwards.

Anyone ever try using the first class box set angel wings on the xfactor cyclops body as a kitbash?

I would throw money at the screen to try and get that ASAP. It wouldn’t even be that hard to make. I seem to recall Storm wearing a white outfit in parts though, sort of a prototype to the Gold Team look.

Also when they introduced Stryfe not too long after I was confused why he was wearing a shiar outfit. Obviously not the same as Xavier here but the resemblance is....uncanny

I had to xacto widen the hole on his back just a bit but if you can manage that then you can fit the wings in there...

A power Ranger bad guy called Blaze. personally I don't mind the size of the wings (easier to fit in a group) but not sure what I would do with this as Angel. The X-factor color is red but then the Jean and Cyclops I have are wrong- he changes to ArchAngel when they change their colors... Man, X-Factor has so many dang costume changes lol

You know, I actually never understood the love for those costumes. Everyone looked the same it took away from their individualities in my book for pretty much the same reason why I hated everyone wearing black in the movies.

They change costumes more times than Optimus Primal changes bodies.

The blue and white was later after his solo one shot where he got his feathered wings back, also apparently earlier in the original X-Men run issue 62, the vintage Cyclops body isn't exactly accurate for either of them, but it's close enough for me if it means I don't have to fight with white paint

I definitely want that Xavier. The rest I'd be into, but no hurry for me.

I tell you, I’ll scream like a BANSHEE if they have the EXcellent CALIBUR of products planned that I hope they do. I think they’ll set the convention on FIRE and the new reveals will be the STAR of the show. I’ve got a lot of high hopes, although I know some of them are a LONGSHOT. Can’t think of a clever pun about the Starjammers or Marvel Girl.

The STAR of the show may be a raspberry JAMMER that will MARVEL a GIRL there.

To me it's just like what Gambit told Jubilee- "We're a team- it's time to start looking the part!" I still like a mish-mash of colorful heroes that come together to fight a greater threat, but there's something about a team in uniform that just says "we belong together!"

...and speaking of teams (...and Blaze heads) I decided to add the FC to the X-Men shelf with a few modifications.

Well here's hoping the legends reveals aren't as disappointing as the G.I. Joe reveals

He only has 9 tweets, so I have a feeling it's a new account

He said "clever puns". Just playing around, you made the effort and that's fun!

If there's any JUSTICE there will be a ton exciting reveals making their EXODUS from behind the scenes to consumer awareness...yeah okay, that's bad too. Sorry.

You think that’s bad, I’ve occupied the past half hour trying to work out what the hell to do with Moira MacTaggert’s name.

UATU you guys still wasting your time on crappy puns for?
