Modok's mainly because his head is 3 times his body size and walking would either kill him or make him topple over. Kang can walk but is so powerful he chooses to sit and control "the world" from his arm chair keypads. Xavier on the other hand was crippled and forced to use the chair, some versions it's simply a wheelchair and othertimes it's this badass hover chair. Mojo is another 1 you could add, but his chair is technically a robotic spider so dunno if he's truely a chair man, or just some freak cousin of Jabba the hut who's into robotics lol.

It is clearly Prof. X's chair IMO.

tlasjr · 10-15-2011, 10:37 AM

I'm going to need around 30 professor x's. I've been dying for a well sculpted suit buck

perrych · 10-15-2011, 10:40 AM

If this isn't Xavier's chair, it will be when I get it

Obviously the rep being coy is just more evidence that it is Prof X.

Tlasjr, I agree, I nice figure in a suit is needed. I have two from the SDCC Destro set, but there is always a need for more, many more.

Agreed, this is professor x's chair, now how they end up packaging it, as either a deluxe,exlusive, comic 2 pack or 2 individual single cards is hard to say. he is a key and vital character in the Marvel Universe, so to make him a cc exclusive would piss a lot of hardcore collectors off. But at the same time I dunno how retail sales for him would go over mainly with kids, for us adults we know the tie he has to the xmen and the importance he has, but kids will just see him as a handicapped mutant haha.

I think he may sell actually. I mean lots of kids should know him from the movie and pretty much EVERY incarnation of X-men on TV has had the Proff. Only concern is Wolverine and the X-men where Proff walked around for most the series :/ might confuse kids. Then again they might think its just some cool add on and have walk around lol

He will be one of those figures everyone wants, and no one will see. Question is, is he going to be in a suit an tie? Or his field gear..

Suit and tie. I'd like a field gear version too, though. But not with his chair.

Field gear is way too cool for them to ever allow me to have

Honestly, I am the complete opposite of what you said haha. All depends how Hasbro does it. If he comes with a suit with his chair, you can remove his chair and just have him standing with the Iluminati, which would be my main reason to get him. Then somehow I would have to customize a Black Bolt.

Thinking about it we could possibly make a field gear Proff X using a GI Joe body.

What a lovely display that would be. We just need us a Black Bolt now.

Well, is he a current member still? In the early Heroic Age days when Red Hood got the Infinity Gauntlet, Black Bolt wasn't around, I think.

I have no idea. When I think about the Illuminati, I think of Dr. Strange, Reed Richards, Professor X, Black Bolt, Namor and Tony Stark. I thought they disbanded due to Secret Invasion and not being able to trust each other.

rodimus15 · 10-15-2011, 12:05 PM

Sick looking chair. hope professor x looks just as good.

Boba Fettuccini · 10-15-2011, 12:06 PM

Watch, guys: the chair will be single carded, and Xavier will be MU's first BAF.

I could honestly see the reverse happening: Professor X being the single card and the wave contains parts of his chair. That's actually not a bad idea at all.

They "officially" disbanded during then, yes. But they still find themselves responsible to protect the infinity gems and come together to make the tough decisions. Commander Rogers was tired of all the secrets and told them if they are doing this, he is going to be involved in the decision making.

Have you been keeping up with Fear Itself? I know Rogers is Cap again, does that mean he keeps the persona and runs shield?

Nope. I haven't read anything since Dark Reign. I got tired of the mega-crossovers because I felt compelled to pick up all the titles that tied in so I could get the whole story from all perspectives. But that really expensive, really quick. And I'm too addicted to toys and DVDs, so it was either comics or toys. I think we all know which I went with

I am exactly like that too. If it is an amazing main story, or one I really enjoy [Siege] I'll buy the hardcover collection. I got my ways to get a complete series though with all tie ins though..

Dont speak such atrocities! that would just mean id have to buy every figure. i would actually hate it if MU started doing BAFS. yeah we can make a sick figure. but i dont want the shitty repaint of the wave. But if every figure was just pure gold then we could talk.

Yes finally!!!!

I don't think it would be too hard to release as a single card. The chair itself is mostly hollow, and Xavier is a small guy. And the chair doesn't need to take the abuse that say, a Hulk figure does. They can get away with a repaint for Xavier if they use something other than a suit and tie. He's worn other outfits and jackets. All in all, I don't think it takes up much more plastic than Hulk, Juggernaut, Apocalypse and such.

If they price out the lines like they do with Star Wars, a large figure is usually offset by some smaller repaint figures in the wave. Pricing is usually done per wave, not per figure. That might also explain the 5 figure waves recently with one large figure.
