The body itself isn't terrible, but she's so top heavy compared to her spindly legs that she can barely stand. And those hips are absolutely awful.

If their maintaining value on sites like BBTS is any indication, the X-men figs, even old waves, are still highly sought after. It’s only a matter of time, in my opinion, before Hasbro starts getting down to brass tacks and skewing towards its money-makers. MCU – Spidey (which depending on wave construction, may also fall off) – and of course the uber-successful X-men will represent more and more slots in yearly line-ups. I’m sure X-men fans will have no problem with that, the rest of us will have to make due and take what they give us.

I agree, we're going to get the rest of the Gold team soon. An updated Jim Lee Jean may or may not happen but I think probably will, and Jim Lee Storm and Iceman (Or classic Iceman since it's probably close enough for most) will be coming. I think they wanted to get the blue team done first because that was the more popular roster, only Jean and Storm were the big names in the gold team. I get the entire Gold/Blue is all big names, but comparatively - thinking in terms of comic history, TAS, and the movies. Psylocke was the only team member on the Blue Team that wasn't present much in other mediums, and she was quite popular in the 90's.

Gold Team is likely their priority now and that's half done as is. We already see them working on X-Factor, New Mutants/ OGX-Force characters already (if not always in their correct outfits.) Excalibur and more modern X-Force is likely the next tier and then you'd have the "other" - the villains, Generation X, and various other characters. Villains you know they'll do, Generation X I can see them maybe getting 3-4 character AT MOST done. we'll be lucky to just get Monet, and Chamber and likely even then probably not in their Gen X outfits (I didn't include Jubilee since we have two versions of her already, a third in Generation X outfit is unlikely.)


I guess it all depends on how long the line goes and how much of the MCU X-Men will take over from the comic side. If we're talking another 3-5 years we'll likely not get any of the teams besides Blue/Gold *mostly* completed. If it goes another 10 years it's more likely.
