At least if someone got him to finish the BAF they could justify that as the $20 toy and Ham as the freebie. Like you pointed out, at least the Mantis wave Rocket is fully articulated and he even had some accessories. I like Spider-Ham well enough and it's cool he has a toy at all but he really should have just been a pack-in with somebody else.

Based on his inclusion in the Venom wave the kiddie Spider-Ham toy with changing eyes that Hasbro showed off during SDCC I bet Spider-Ham makes a cameo appearance in the Spider-Verse movie. He might breakout like Rocket Racoon and Groot.

Probably more than a cameo. They even announced that John Mulaney is voicing him.

No kidding? I hadn't heard that. I was just guessing in hopes that I could say "I told you so" after the movie comes out. 😉 I didn't read a ton of Spider-Ham comics when I was a kid but I remember him fondly. I was pretty jazzed when he popped up in the Spider-Verse comics and I'm looking forward to seeing him in the movie although I don't think I can bring myself to spend $20 on a mini figure with so little articulation. Maybe he'll take off as a character and we'll get a better figure in the future.

This is also a reason why I am not an advocate for arm swivels and double joints in my female characters...sure you might get some more poseablity, but your risk for breakage is that much higher due to the thinner, more fragile joints.

Yep. Still looks cool though. :p

X-Men Blue:

Cyclops
Wolverine
Psylocke
Gambit
Rogue

We need Beast and Jubilee. For X-Men Gold:

Archangel
Bishop
Jean Grey (could definitely use an update though)

We need Storm (who's been teased), Colossus and Iceman. Probably an updated Jean Grey too though I fear we won't see that anytime soon.

I didn't realize just how close we were to having the full Blue and Gold teams, either. I know I'm one of the few people who doesn't really feel the need for another Iceman, but at the same time I wouldn't be opposed (especially if they did a slightly more 'chiseled' Bobby from right after Emma really unlocked his potential - I loved the second Toy Biz Iceman from the old X-Men line that was based on that design).



I would scream if we got a Marrow. I still have my old Generation X Marrow proudly on display. I'd prefer the green-and-blue costume (and matching bone growth design) from the first half of her run with the team, but at this point, I wouldn't be picky (so long as it's not the 'pretty' version from the second half).

Honestly, I'd be all over some late 90s X-Men. Cannonball in his blue and gold 'togs, Cecilia Reyes and Joseph in the standard uniforms (or, as a joke, Cecilia in the green-and-orange costume Hank borrowed from the Wasp for, like, one issue), Maggott, X-Man... just load me up, man.

Originally Posted by Captain Nash (Post 766302)

yes to all that! Even Joseph and Maggott, who I never cared for. But let's face it at this point I'd be buying figures of X-characters I don't like simply becuase they're X-characters, unless of course they were in some super hard to get exclusive set. I never did try to get that con exclusive Feral from the 90's toy biz days.

Oh man, that Feral... one thing I actually really appreciate, even in hindsight, about that era of toys, was how weirdly varied it was, and how even off-the-wall characters could get figures as exclusives through the ToyFare magazine, even if they were pretty chincy slapjobs in some cases. I think I still have my ToyFare-exclusive Multiple Man sitting around somewhere, back when you could also win those figures at the Wizard booth's prize wheel on the daily.
