I found 3 Dani's today on the shelf at two different Walgreens. I initially picked up 2 but decided later in the day to pick up a third since the costume is actually pretty sharp looking.

I also picked up the Love Triangle 3 pack.

Wolverine: It's the Tiger Stripe Wolverine so there's not much to say really. It's a good figure but I think the blue is a little too dark. The yellow used on the figure is actually a VERY close match (if not exact) to the FA Wolverine from the Hulk 2 pack. If you put the non-battle damaged head from this set on the FA figure, you'll have a pretty nice GSXM #1 Wolverine.
Jean Grey: Ugh, I hate the non-ponytail head. I get what they were trying to do with her expression but it doesn't look right in this scale. Thankfully the ponytail head is an improvement but I don't think either of her head sculpts look as nice as the alt. heads included with Dani Moonstar. Like Wolverine, I think the blue is too dark for the figure.
Cyclops: I never understood the appeal of the jacketed Cyclops but I'm liking this figure more than I thought I would. Unlike the other two, I think this darker shade of blue works really well for Cyclops and is complimented by the bright yellow on the figure. Surprisingly, all of the straps are a better fit on this version of the figure but I'm probably still going to glue them. Hopefully, Hasbro will re-release the non-jacketed version in this dark blue/bright yellow deco.
