[Optimus Vader]

I'm going to go ahead and appreciate the X-Force 3 pack. I know the set has been out for about six months, but I just got around to shipping my BBTS PoL, so I just got it in my hands yesterday.

Other than the headsculpt, I thought the Deadpool was a straight up XMO/Comic Pack repaint, but it looks like there are a few other new limbs as well. Right off the bat, he's noticeably taller (bigger all around) which makes him blend in more with the most current Cyclops/DD mold very well (not that he needs to be tall, but some of the lingering movie molds are getting too short). I like the Comic Pack's style of harness a little more, but I appreciate the detail on the X-Force version... the black sword holsters are a nice touch. The only weird thing.. the handle grips on his swords are brown instead of black.




I don't have the MU Astonishing Wolverine (I like brown suit and XF suit) figure, which I believe is a straight up repaint of this Wolverine, but this tweaked version of this mold is a lot nicer than I thought it would be. Obviously the head is different from previous XMO Wolverines, but I didn't realize he had new feet. Maybe it's just me, but the feet on this one make him a lot easier to pose, and probably adds just a touch of height to him. I might swap hands with this one and the black suit Comic Pack version to get the closed fist look. Another reason I might be so big on this Wolverine is because his skin doesn't look like it was painted with water and clay, like many of the sets I've seen in stores (same with the First Class Comic Pack version).



..and Warpath is pretty cool too.
