bilbofett Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Mine was also messed up. I ordered a second 2-pack for some customizing and that boot was also messed up. Just swapped out left boot. Edited October 5, 2016 by bilbofett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I’m in love with this wave. Twelve years ago, the Giant Size X-Men Boxed Set made me start to collect Minmates, so this series is a special one for me. I received them yesterday from Luke and I haven't noticed any QC issues beyond the problem with the stands. I hardened a couple of loose articulations, changed the Nightcrawler shoulder piece for the shoulder pads from the previous one and changed the upper parts from Wolverine arms for the hairy arms of the TRU 20 Wolverine (apparently I like hairy arms) and I’m ready to go.

TheKrisLyons Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 the hairless arms are accurate to his look at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, indeed, but I'm going more for a John Byrne look. Edited October 7, 2016 by Ozymandias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I swapped my extra Colossus' thighs out for those of a spare Avalanche, and it went perfectly. Thanks for the instructions, TheKrisLyons. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were so inclined the next X-Man to come along while everybody was still in those looks would be Disco Dazzler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarm198 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I've noticed several people add the Secret Invasion Beast to their X-Men line-ups. Although I will always consider Beast to be an X-Man, I have always assumed this look was primarily an Avengers outfit. Is he ever in the comics on this team in this form? Backstory: I'm super particular about my displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Worth pointing out that he was an on-duty Avenger at the time of the Dark Phoenix Saga and literally abandoned his post to go help his X-friends, so you're not off there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Finally got a chance to pick up my set of 68 (they were on hold at my comic book store, which is 10 hours from my current residence). I'm beyond thrilled to finally have these guys. Hands down my favorite X-Men line-up, and easily my favorite wave of figures since wave 48. There are a few QC issues here and there, but I'm overall very happy. The one change I did make was swapping the hair on Banshee with the wave 60 version. The Morbius piece is a perfectly fine match for how he looks in GSXM, but Cockrum started drawing his hair a bit more "flippy" pretty early on.

I did the same thing with my Banshee's hairpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Beast was pretty active with the X-Men back during that run. thanks to him the X-Men were able to defeat Mesmro when he invaded the mansion (around 111) and that of course lead to the epic saga in the Savage Land when he carried Jean through Antarctica and got her back to the mansion while the rest of the team was dead (in the Savage land). This led to Jean going to Muir Island and her exposure to Mastermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Spider Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I really want a good Whedon beast. What body you take that X-force costume from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKrisLyons Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I painted the xforce uniform on to a gray base body, arms and legs. the shoulder pads (or whatever they are) were taken from wave 68 nightcrawler and painted black.

I assume you mean Joss Whedon, as in Astonishing X-Men? If so, I think the whole Astoninshing team could use redos, with Beast in particular. Unfortunately, I don't think DST's in any hurry to remake any of the old 2000's X-teams (Ultimate, New, Astonishing). With this wave's release, they're the only groups of X-Men who I think look outdated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I really liked the face on the original, just not the hairpiece, obviously. I repainted a NewBSG Baltar hairpiece, and really like it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I wish they would have Lilandra and Gladiator in an upcoming wave. Gladiator would be another Annhilator and another classic Xmen supporting character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
