I'm still waiting for '70s Cyclops with an optic blast, early 80's/Secret Wars green X-Men suit Rogue, red-and-white suit Angel with the chest halo emblem, Outback black suit Storm with the lightning bolt emblem, and Acolyte suit Colossus. It'd also be nice to get new sold-separately figures of classic Magneto, classic White Queen, classic Mystique, classic Pyro, brown-and-tan costume Wolverine, and Jim Lee Blue Team/Gold Team versions of Colossus, Psylocke, Jean Grey, and Cyclops with an optic blast (Seriously, why haven't we gotten a Jim Lee Cyclops figure with an optic blast accessory from Hasbro yet? Wasn't the last time that happened was the Toy Biz "X-Men vs. Street Fighter" Cyclops figure with the bomber jacket?).

I hope you're having a great start to the year too! I agree with much you say, but I wanted to comment specifically on the New X-Men looks. Even though I suggested it, I actually dislike them as well. But we know that most X-Men waves get a Wolverine, and it's probably going to be Astonishing or New X-Men Wolverine with the next we get. Maybe Astonishing first since we are getting Emma and Cyclops. But I also think that as popular as Morrison's run was, it's likely at some point Hasbro will tackle those looks. Frankly I'm surprised they haven't as yet.

Side note to Hasbro, I'm disappointed we're not seeing a Thunderbolt or New Warrior in the rumored line up for 2023. I really dislike this whole thing they do for producing half a team, slowly, maybe even just once a year, and then after several years just stop. They may not be the 90's X-Men, mainstay Avengers or the Fantastic Four, which they've pretty much covered, but those teams do have some degree of popularity.
