FIRST..
this wave is really tight and the packaging is TOP NOTCH. . i can def see why people would want to leave these MIP.

my eyes on Daz were fine and my SS is actually great... (i'd swap that bad boy out if your paint is effed)
my only issue is with the 2 tone colors of Cyclops!!! (even though passable...STILL...why???)

i have a second storm coming (she hard to get and the possibilities!!)
I have a second iceman coming from HP... i "intend" to try to paint him and create an ice slide and have them the same colors.... sheeeeeesh.. wish me luck....

While I understand that people dig the packaging and the sense of nostalgia it evokes, I laughed to myself thinking that I wish Hasbro would've spent more time perfecting the paint apps rather than painstakingly recreating packaging from the 20 years ago. I'm not going to go too deep here regarding my thoughts because I believe the sentiment would be lost on many, but there are aspects to collecting that have always been off putting to me. Atop the list is the feeding of non-stop consumerism of which I've never been - and never will be a celebrant.
