Glad to see people are getting their SDCC content! How is Giant Man faring? While Goliath (Bill Foster) looks great on that body mold, there's something iffy about Pym on that buck.

Since the X-men seem to be a non-starter, why doesn't Marvel have Hasbro do ancillary "X" teams? I've been waiting for a proper Excalibur! That team offers an opportunity for much needed updates: Kurt (we need a new Kurt in classic threads), Rachel ('hound' suit!), Kitty (with her glaringly missing 'Shadowcat' suit), Brian (on the Hyperion buck, of course), and Megan (ohh, the new voluptuous female buck was nearly made specifically with her in mind - I'm surprised custom makers haven't gotten around to her). Not to mention the wide range of short-term members that could get thrown in like Psylocke (Betsy Braddock 'pink uni' version), Dazzler, and Black Knight. Of course the list is much wider, but these are just off of the top of my head...

Now you're talking my language! Excalibur, what a comic. Captain Britain needs to be redone, and I would say that his connection to the X-Men is similar to Namor's in official terms, so here's hoping for a new figure soon. I have seen a couple of BEAUTIFUL Meggan customs using Scarlet Witch's buck which is perfect for her, but yes by golly do we need an updated Kurt on the Superior Spidey buck.

Unfortunately for me, I was born and raised on X-Men, so I like (and love) other characters, but if the X-Men are name-dropped, I'll talk of nothing else.

That means if Marvel and Hasbro play by their rules, we'll see an X-men wave or box-set like previous years with a movie attachment.

The Wolverine (2013) = Wolverine Legends: BAF Puck (2013)
X:Men Days of Future Past (2014) = All New X-men box-set & X-men Legends BAF Jubilee (2014)
No Movie (2015) = No Waves or Box-set (2015)
X:Men Apocalypse (2016) = ????

I hope you're right! It seems to be the way the game is played, no less. The problem is there is no way to attempt to preempt what figures will be included. Another Wolverine (or X-23 as Wolverine)? A character from one of the movies (Psylocke, Nightcrawler)?

If you're right, here's hoping for a six-figure strong wave with NO Wolverine.
