UK Collector Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Really nice looking wave. I love these costumes, but I appear to be in the minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Would I have preferred Quentin or the Uncanny X-Men? Absolutely. But, do I like this wave? Hell Yeah I do! The colors are vibrant, the costumes remind me of classic sci-fi and it's nice to finally have a depowered Bobby. It could be better character wise, but I'm still excited. The Sentinel could be a bit more detailed but I missed on the previous releases so I'll do with what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I wouldn't have thought bulked-up Beast would be the way to go, but seeing the picture I think it works better than DST's other attempts at Beast in his human form. Overall the wave seems like a great representation of these costumes but I think it will still be the first comic wave I've skipped since 27.

Nervous Rex Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Really nice looking wave. I love these costumes, but I appear to be in the minority. You are not alone, I really like these too. I still hope we get an x-face cyclops or whatever the new costume is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Its nice to have a full crew of original 5 in one wave, but somewhat disappointing after all the movie waves that there aren't any new characters (Bobby might count as new?). Glad for a new Sentinel, but those shoulders aren't quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Best Beast by a yard . I couldn't figure what or who he reminded me of at first.......the Mimic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcansFury Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 First full wave I'm not buying multiples of. Not my cup of tea, and I love Xmen minimates Just one set for my completionism. This year is really becoming a bust for new Marvel characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Damn, I was really looking forward to the rumored X-Men wave. With so few comic waves coming out I thought maybe there would be something I like in here, but it's more NOW stuff. Very much disappointed. I wish we could get some variety like in previous years. This may be the make it or break it year for me and Minimates. The last few announcements have been all movie and NOW looks which do nothing for me, to me it was much more fun when we got a little bit of everything.

smackman Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I have no idea where these costume designs come from, but I love them. Something about them really appeals to me. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimate-Maniac Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm not sure about that sentinel, but the rest of the wave is amazing. I can not wait for these beauties to grace my shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 These all look great, I'm definitely going to pick these up. Which isn't really a revelation, I buy all of them regardless. Here's my one quibble though.... Do these look great? Yes. Am I going to buy them? Of course. Would I trade this entire wave for one Pyro minimate? Yes. I feel like my only reservations with these aren't due to the 'mates themselves, because they look great, I only wish we could get some new characters in an X-Men comic wave, especially Brotherhood members. 59 waves in, and we still don't have a comic Blob, Pyro, Avalanche or Toad, I feel like their absence is very noticeable.

TM2 Dinobot Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 They look nice. But I feel like we've seen this lineup over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Nooooooooooooooooooooo.....not the Fruit Loops Five. Mates themselves look fine, but it's just the same characters over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortysben Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 As a newer guy, I don't have to have them all (yet...). I'll likely pass on the new original 5... But very glad to have a shot at the newer hawkeye, iron fist, Luke cage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It's a good comic, and a pretty popular one by my understanding. I recommend the first three trades. And I don't think we've made four of these characters in the last three years. Sure, Cyclops got tapped twice for AvX, but when did the First Class set hit? And MVC3 Phoenix? Not exactly frequent flyers nowadays. I believe the Sentinel will have tentacles, sorry people don't like the shoulders. Hope we make a Sentinel you like real soon!

youbastards Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm not against part reuse by any means, I just think there are better options out there for Sentinel shoulder armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 damn - something about those Sentinels eyes... i swear i've seen original art they were modelled on recently. That sentinel face tamp is brilliant. i hope it stays exactly that way into production. Very glad to here it comes with tentacles too! Also - REALLY glad to see another determined looking female face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Loving that Sentinel. Even the shoulders. Rest of them are nifty. Is Icy Ice Iceman gonna be the variant or is Bobbeh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Finally..... Bobby Drake.....the Mighty Thaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk13 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm glad for the people that wanted these. But it's just another wave that I wish was something different. There are so many movie waves to wade through that I was hoping the tiny but of attention that the comics would receive would be to take care of some classic wants instead of what we are getting. On the bright side, at least there's a Bobby Drake head to QC into a First Class and First Appearance Drake. And props to DST for releasing the entire team.
