BuffaloDelorean Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 28 minutes ago, Nessex said: Yeah - he's kind of a kit-bashable character though. Suit and a bald head, and you're done. The Wheelchair that came with DoFP Xavier is pretty perfect, too. Personally, I think Xavier's prominent enough that he shouldn't need to be kitbashed. And the DoFP wheelchair is pretty good, but the wheels don't turn, so it looks off if they weren't attached symmetrically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It seems rather unlikely that DST would tool a new wheelchair for a classic Xavier when they have a decent one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 In my x-men display I have the original Xavier in my 60's x-men, hover chair Xavier in my 90's x-men and future Xavier in his wheeled wheel chair in my movie display and I haven't been overly taken with the need for an update by any of them.

suicidewatch Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The blue suit from the Walgreens Coulson + Head from Hover chair Chuck + wheelchair from DOFP = a perfect classic Xavier. No need to waste a spot on an update. I also don't know why we would need an updated Magneto either, both the Dark Magneto and the Capcom vs Marvel ones are perfect.

It's hard for me to justify a 4th or 5th Xavier when he is (easier) to recreate and has had several at bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I put together an Xavier fix-up a while back but I wouldn't mind an updated Xavier or Magneto. p.s. I think I have an extra hoverchair Xavier/Warpath if someone needs that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 This is my kitbashed classic Professor X: I used the 90s Professor X head (I took advantage of the headhole to throw in a Spider Sense effect as some kind of telepathy effect), the suit from The Puppet Master (It's the same mold as 90s Xavier and the color fits the one he wore in Giant-Size X-Men, I just trimmed a little the jacket so he can sit properly) and the wheelchair from the original Chuck (because originally he used an old and plain wheelchair with no X-shaped braces on the wheels and a blanket over his legs). Anyway, I wouldn't mind an updated one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 When the embargo against Fox characters is lifted, I suspect we'll see a couple more Greatest Hits assortments; one for Fantastic Four characters and the other for mutants. We can put Professor X in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk13 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm wondering how that works. Marvel Legends has a Sue Storm coming out. Did Hasbro get some kind of special deal or are we off of that restriction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I thought DST was still allowed to make F4 characters, and their exclusion was more of a suggestion than a rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If so, I hope we get a classic Invisible Girl that matches the "Best of" Mr. Fantastic at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. I'd really like to be able to display the full FF without convincing myself an empty disc stand works as an invisible Sue Storm.

Nothing wrong with her, but I'd like to display them in the traditional blue outfits. In the meantime, I kitbashed a Invisible Girl using the "Best of" Mr. Fantastic torso (kinda unisex) and TRU Sue Storm head and limbs.

A quick look at ebay would indicate that these are now difficult to locate ( 4 years ago these landed ) ....unless you know another source other than ebay. 1 hour ago, Ozymandias said: Nothing wrong with her, but I'd like to display them in the traditional blue outfits.

Great picture . but ....just look at that Thing minimate .........if ever there was a minimate that personified "so near yet so very far away" that guy would be that minimate . I'm crying as I type .

DSTZach Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If a figure being no longer available was the only reason needed to make a new one, we'd have to remake pretty much everyone. Characters with face time on current comics, TV and movies will always get consideration over characters no one has heard from in a while, although unmade characters and characters whose figures need updating will also come before characters with decent figures.
