On the other hand there are definitely days that I think about my collection and the only reason I still am hanging on to most of it is if I ever want to display it, I have display scale accurate Exodus.

if we ever get a ML Exodus I might seriously have to think about parting with most of that collection. Not the deluxe figures though. I'm keeping my onslaught Apocalypse.

Yeah, that was during the 'female characters don't sell' era of thinking that we're still working to break free of. Hell, I remember people being excited that we were getting a Polaris figure... despite it being a straight repaint of Rogue, still with her 'power punch action,' AND packed in with a translucent green machine gun... like that made any sense.

On the other hand, they did give us a lot of characters who we would have to wait until... well, now to get, literally. Blink and Typhoid Mary, for starters. But that was after they started doing more collector-aimed stuff. And yeah, they still didn't give us any of the ones you mentioned. So its definitely got its pros and cons.

Man, I would so love a ML Exodus. He's gotta be in consideration, right? I mean, he's popped up enough to be a second-tier X-Villain by now.
