Gotta say it…Wtf Hasbro. Was hoping this wouldn’t be the case but no screaming head for Siryn? One of the few characters that should have one you pass up!? Cheap move.

Anyways not preordering anything. Will wait til shipping date or in the wild. I’ll still get Siryn along with Vulcan and Havok at that point but this wave definitely is the weakest x-men wave yet IMO.

Didn’t they literally say during the livestream where she was revealed that this was explicitly so that they could sell you a second version with the screaming head later?

I’m also not preordering any of this wave. I’m actually likely going to pass on it as an in-general, except maybe for Havok (although the lack of neck rings irritates me). It’s just a crappy wave for me, full of costumes & characters & eras I don’t care about, and bad execution on the characters I am interested in.

I’m disappointed with how lame the X-Men waves have been for me the past couple years, as someone uninterested in both AOA & the modern era. I look at my shelf and think about the exponential growth it had in 2019, and then how few additions I’ve made to it the past two years. It’s disappointing because most of what I have gotten is really cool. The worst part about lame figures is that they’ve shown us time & again that they’re capable of way better.

I’m actually feeling that way on the line as a whole. Between rising prices & what a pain it is to actually *find* these things at retail, my enthusiasm is waning. That’s coupled with a personal lack of interest in the character selection lately. Some of the only figures I have wanted have been exclusives I couldn’t find, or have been so half-assed that I didn’t bother buying them.
