Nonsense. Prove to me you know who Chris Claremont is. And don't use Google. Otherwise by golly will I be a condescending prick!

Either way, it's not like Nightcrawler or Gambit are never going to get made again. Just be patient.

As far as this rumor goes, if Gladiator is "Black costume Gladiator" (Which he's worn in more recent appearances) and Magneto is good (Classic w/ Removeable helmet would be ideal, but there are other costumes I'd accept), then I'm probably OK with it. Yeah, some folks are going to be annoyed they repacked Gladiator, but not everyone got that SDCC set.

And honestly I can deal with an exclusive repack/repaint if it means more of the tooling budget goes to other characters.

It's why while I thought Odinson was a lazy kitbash, I was fine with it being made if it meant the figures like Hela got better sculpting.
