out of curiosity,are the wings on that angel different to those on the x-men six pack???

Yes. I haven’t opened them yet (want time to appreciate…) but from the looks of it; the X-Factor Angel has cream-coloured wings (they look unpainted), but the regular Angel has wings with a grey wash that looks like it was added to the unpainted wings.

Angel it also pretty sweet, though I wish it was the red and white halo costume rather than the blue, but is is cooler IMO than the red X-Factor version.

I agree. Red and white is the costume I remember, but this is good enough…

I heard a rumor from a hasblo employee. Five points of articulation will become the rule and certain "super pose able" figures the exception in the next year.

So a massive jump back then? Jesus, even vintage Joes have 9 points!

Also, lots of employees getting laid off to save money and increase profit and shares for 2013.

I hate that line of thinking. Profits are good, we just want *even more* - so we’ll lay some people off.
