Don't get me wrong, I like the 90s stuff as I am a huge fan of the cartoon from then. They did pretty good adaptations to some of the best X-Men stories out there and Season 2 had the most kick ass ongoing arc that dealt with Charles and Magneto stuck in the Savage Land.

It's just that I'd like to see more diversity in the eras. Sure, Forge can work as an 80s figure, since he and Mohawk Storm had a thing (before she somehow lost her powers), but I'd like to see a better balance.

I mean, in the last waves we've gotten Phoenix, brown Wolverine, and Sunfire for the Claremont/Byrne/Cockrum era, but then we've gotten Cyclops, Rogue, Psylocke, Bishop, Cable, and tiger stripe Wolverine for the Jim Lee/cartoon era.

With this new wave, that means we now have Storm, Gambit, Jubilee added to the Lee era while we have nothing for the CBC stuff.

If they would just announce a Giant Sized box set I wouldn't care what they did in the rest of the waves (well almost).

I kid we also do need classic Colossus, and Nightcrawler.

Well those and Banshee, Cockrum Wolverine, Thunderbird, the rest of Alpha Flight from that period, Moira, Lilandra, not to mention all of the villains like Black Tom, Proteus, Blob, Pyro, Destiny, Toad, Avalanche, Erik the Red, Lady Deathbird, Count Nefaria, White Queen, Mastermind, Shaw, Leland, etc.
