I'm not sure how I feel about this "New Jubilee wave" news. This will come as sacrilege to some, but I think the Marvel Legends Series (both ToyBiz and Hasbro) has got the mutants covered...along with Spiderman, Iron Man, and Cap which they love to repeat as well. The old adage that you can never have too many mutant marvel legends figs is not true. You CAN have too many, especially when they are do-overs of recently made do-overs (Wolverine & Cyclops).

I'm happy to see Storm in a modern costume, but that pic (I'll need to see more photos) isn't the greatest. Ororo has always been classically illustrated as voluptuous and that fig seems to be lacking some curves (you'd think the Moonstone buck would be a no brainer for any new Storm body...guess not). Magneto with a Drax/Steve Rogers/Sheild Agent-buck body could be cool, but if that helmet isn't removable (looks a bit too snug on the cheeks to be an accessory) that will be a considerable let down. I am also not too keen on Magneto sporting a fist. He doesn't punch people often (too powerful to need to) and I would rather another hand featuring extended fingers. Cyclops...really? Didn't they just cancel the Phoenix version? Not to mention we just got one roughly 10 months ago in the form of AvsX Cyclops. Has five minutes passed? I ask only because I think it's time for another Wolverine figure. That face for Wolverine unmasked is what Wolverine would look like if he were secretly Congressman Alan Grayson from Florida....check it out, it's kinda scary. Lets just say this new Wolvie won't be replacing my "Astonishing" unmasked Wolvie. Stryfe is cool. I've no complaints; he is a new sculpt (barring the fact that he is really Cable) and his level of detail looks great. Jubilee is also cool, but I would have still appreciated more getting her along with Tiger-Shark, Radioactive Man, Rescue, and Songbird.

and....appreciation.
