THE_CRIPPLER Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think they look great and I I can't wait to get this set. Now I have to hunt down the other X-Force box set and two packs from TRU that I missed out on. Hopefully the next 90's box set we get is either X-Factor or an Executioners Song set.

Dannii Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I loved this box! Can't wait to have them. Now everything would be perfect with the rest of the team... Siryn, I'm talking about you, darling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 it's gotta be something about the x force movie. DST must know something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Loving Domino, and Cannonball, the other two are Meh but overall a good set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I still don't understand the rationale behind this set (besides "Chuck wants it") but the minimates themselves look good. Well, not good in the aesthetically pleasing sense because those costumes are real eyesores, but accurate and well-executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I love the Chris Redfield hairpiece on Cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 This set makes sense, but the situation led to it does not. the first x-force box set was Liefeld style and the tie in two pack of Shatterstar and cannonball was also. a 2 pack of Rictor and Boomer was also released, but in the Capullo style, most likely because Rictor was never on the team during Liefeld's run (though why not just make two characters who WERE is beyond me). so now you have: Liefeld: Cable, Domino, Shatterstar, Feral, and Cannonball Capullo: Rictor, Boom Boom If you're going to add to either team, why not do so by bringing the big guns to the latter iteration? granted, we still need Feral, sunspot, warpath, and siryn to complete the Capullo team or sunspot, warpath, Siryn, and boom boom for the Liefeld team. Either way, we're two 2packs shy of a roster I love the Chris Redfield hairpiece on Cable. it is absolute genius. I can't decide if I'm going to use the old more grizzled cable head or keep it with the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I believe Cable also comes withan extra goateed head. Don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikfenix Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Wow.. these look great! Have the two Cannonballs and Shatterstar but never picked up Cable or Domino, glad to have them. Domino especially looks terrific. The colors on this set really pop. I agree more sets like this please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I have no interest in this era of Marvel comics, never picked up any of the titles at the time and find them too dated now. That said, really like that Cable and will pick him up if the opportunity presents itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 That Cable is RIDICULOUS! Can he walk? Can he even move his arms? HA HA - I LOVE how crazy-bulky his armour is. Cable's armor could be a little bulkier. . .I actually kind of dig Cannonball there, but this isn't my cup of tea. Congrats to Nessex! Bah ha ha - these are not in my top 10 most wanted mates.... but they are many of the things i love about minimates. 616. bright colours. fun designs. And just look at all that nice tampoing on Cannonballs sides! I'll be all over this set Who ever believed we'd live in a world where we'd have multiple Shatterstars to choose from? Not to mention Cannonballs? CRAZYPANTS!I'm super excited. Now I just hope we can get a two pack with Siryn, Rictor, or Sunspot. Or Gideon cause why not? This guy..... this is my kinda guy.Damn - this is a fun looking set. Also - i expected a re-use of the Now! Scarlet Witch hair-piece for Domino..... very nice to see they gave her a barnd new sculpt.

CortherX Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 i would have rather had other characters from X-Force that haven't been made. at the moment, i wouldn't care if their costumes were from different runs, as long as i had all of the characters on display. i actually like this set - aside from Cable - and will be fine replacing the older version of these characters on my X-Force display... but yeah really hoping to see Siryn/Sunspot/Warpath soon.

DSTZach Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 To be fair, Cannonball has been on three superhero teams. But we've been talking about the Brotherhood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 This set is everything I expected it to be and then some. Yep, I'm going to need 2 (to mod cable and domino into their semi-modern looks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) No problem with three Cannonballs. I mean, people wouldn't use their 90's Cyclops for an X-Factor setup and they wouldn't use a TRU16 Wolverine for their 80's X-Men. I'm completely ok with different looks, no matter how "minor" some think the characters are. And a question, does Cable have an alternate look? This costume is the costume from the beginning of his solo series, where he had the Mohawk and goatee. I heard before that we were getting the blue/yellow look (think the Marvel Legends figure), this looks like it could be done from this figure, any chance? Always loved the blue costume with the yellow straps. Edited June 19, 2014 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I don't believe there is a mohawk, but like I said, I'm pretty sure he'll have an extra goatee face. And the shoulder pads are removable. The chest block underneath should be yellow straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
