I have no particular attachment to this look, but I LOVE this Iron Man body mold, and will probably continue to buy it in whatever wacky color scheme they decide to give it.

We've already received this figure a couple of different times, so there's nothing new to report on it. On a side note, I really dig the paints they used for the repulser blast effects, but the hands that hold the sword were a super lazy cop-out. Hasbro didn't bother to paint or sculpt the armor details on the back of them, basically making them just normal hands casted in the same color plastic as the figure. Lame. It's an easy pass for most unless you're a fan, but it's still a pretty cool looking figure. Plus this mold rocks.

Finally got around to putting together a head for Rahne. Was difficult finding a look that I liked and works, since her hair is usually depicted as something close to a crew cut, but after finding some images of her with a slightly longer bob cut, I thought that'd be the way I'd go with it.

This was another figure I wasn't too high one when they were unveiled, but in hand, I found myself really liking the body mold. I'd like to actually see it incorporated into an Ultimate X-Men base somewhere down the line, since most of the X-ladies were teens when that book started. It's not perfect, and the gals required a little bit of work with a dremel since the heads sit REALLY high on the neck (especially Wolfsbane) but I'm really pleased with how they came out. I've thought about doing a metal leg for Karma...but most of the options are a bit price heavy (and there's no way in hell that I'm chopping up a NECA T-800 figure) so I think I'll just keep it classic unless Hasbro decides to take another shot at it.

Karma could be wearing a pants and a boot over her roboleg too.
