Truth though, I get what you're saying and just like with any figure one's mileage my vary on any figure. I don't even think she's the best sculpted figure in that wave, but given we finally got her, I'm willing to over look a lot. At any rate, and of course this is just IMO, I think she looks great. A really good mesh up of several of her looks while not being 100% true to any single look, which to be honest is what we get with a look of figures.

The main reason I wanted to post was something i was reading over at Fwoosh that, unfortunately, makes a lot of sense. There's a particular issue with Marvel being contractually obligated to send royalties rights to Dave Cockrum's estate for any merchandising generated by one particular character - Nightcrawler. Has to do with how Cockrum had creator owned rights to that character vs. other characters he created (spinning out of the fact that Nightcrawler was pretty much unaltered from his Outsides creation for DC, unlike the rest of the GSXM characters introduced.

Does this mean that Hasbro cannot release a Nightcrawler figure? Not by any means. does it mean that it throws an extra kink to the system for doing so, as opposed to just about any other X-character? Yes, it does, and that really sucks...now that we have Psylocke coming, Nightcrawler is second only to Jim Lee Storm for figures I want to see redone.
