Nessex Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) That Mutant X Goblin Queen statue is an interesting choice. She looks bloody lovely, but it's such an obscure version of her. Having said that, I think The Six would look pretty awesome as Minimates. Edited February 18, 2019 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was, like, there's literally no way this wave could be better until you said that. (Iceman is a great example of why changing looks is a good idea for marketability.)  This wave really has me stoked! I've had a crappy week, but every time I see X-Factor in minimate form, I just smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMcGill Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Alternative to Madrox having alt arms - pack him with Strong Guy's arms! That way we don't end up with a bunch of Strong Guy parts, we have a bunch that can be used as Madrox arms! (just have to swap the hands around with the normal Madrox arms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Strong Guy looks to have the ruffled sleeve arms that came with Storm & Shadowcat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFMcGill Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 ...although, now with those arms, mixed with havok's torso jacket and legs, pretty much got a full Nate Grey custom barring the hair and the easy parts to rustle up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMcGill Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Oh speak of the devil - nate grey wore a costume a bit like cyke's circa the twelve (someone asked a few pages back which mates from this wave could easily be used as pieces for other characters planning for having multiple whoever comes with madrox... and we know it's one of cyke, jean, beast or archangel who will be packed with him) So, so far, Cyke's body can be used for a Twelve-Era Nate Grey, AOA Quicksilver or a powered down Bobby from the first 25 issues of X-Factor (the ones from the boxset and rare Angel) Jean can be a first appearance Bliss from the Morlocks or a Husk that appeared in like 2 panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 For the record, I'm totally shocked that we're actually getting a 90s X-Factor team. Â I thought it would forever be a pipe dream like the Wrecking Crew, but here we are. Â And they look great! Â I can't wait to fold them into my collection! Fantastic stuff! Can't wait until these hit the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I thought it was a rehash of the x-factor box set that came out a few years ago but each character is a different take. Â Nice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Angel's actually my fave of the bunch... I'm looking to re-create some of the more famous Horsemen. I'd love to have Caliban and War-Hulk too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see Wolverine and Gambit's Horseman looks done as Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thinking this is at least a double buy of the full wave for me. The spare Cyclops, Jean, and Havok can be used for other customs. I've been kicking around the idea of using the parts from a second beast to try a proper 616 appearance Dark Beast since he looks closer to regular blue Beast nowadays in the 616. Completely spaced Bliss... But no clue how to represent her creepy powers... Nope wait, a painted Xenomorph mouth piece might work. Only ones that wouldn't have a use would be Archangel, Wolfsbane and Polaris. Scratch that as well. Could probably use the head and hair from Polaris for an agent Brand.

You could always do a depowered Rahne to not "waste" the double buy. During this period you have her full Wolf-Girl  But then the closer to human wolf-girl by using a spare piece from the New Mutants set:  And then when she gets cured by Haven.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember for sure, but didn't Valerie Cooper (nobody has lamented her absence yet...) wear Polaris' costume in an issue or two? Failing that, Aurora or Vindicator - the former did actually appear in a few latter issues too with Wild Child albeit not in this costume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And neither have a tail it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just cut the rat tail off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 @luke314pi & @LukesLichy: I know it's probably a wee bit early, but do you have any indication on when these will be available for pre-order at LTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan The Accuser Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Strong Guy for the win! That's a pretty neat baf, can't wait to see how that chest piece works. This wasn't a set I needed but getting the team in one wave is too good of an opportunity to pass up. Two comic waves back to back and I'll be getting them both! Feels like old times. Keep those comic sets flowing DST. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
