I didn't take any pictures but I opened up the latest X-Men wave figures that I got in from Amazon. I got Xavier, Magneto, Cyclops and 2 of the Omega Sentinel (so I could display both looks).
Cyclops is an interesting figure. He's not bad, but he's not great. I find it odd that his arms seem to use the pegless joins (unless the pegs are just hidden under some plastic) but the pegs are visible in his legs. The ability to fire the optic blast is neat, and makes for some cool action shots. But at the end of the day, he's just another Cyclops. I always loved the Jim Lee look, anything else is just kind of there for me.

Xavier is a bit of a mixed bag. I feel like it's been said already, but his suit should have had a little more detail. I love the head sculpt. The Cerebro unit head looks awesome. Even the closed eye head is cool, although I'll most likely never display it.

Magneto looks great. I like this costume and I like that he has a wide variety of hands. Personally, I think the fists and the magnet warping hands (is that what they're called?) look the best. I'm very happy with him.

Finally, the Omega Sentinel. I like her. Honestly, I like the older look with the hair a bit more. The machine arms look very cool. I think the PoX look is very true to the source and could look really fantastic standing next to Nimrod. I do find it odd that when you raise her legs, they don't go straight out but open to an angle. It reminds me of the old pre-legend toy biz era figures where damn near every female figure legs would open very wide.

So far, this is a pretty solid wave. I'm looking forward to getting the rest, even if Jean is a let down from what I'm hearing.
