DaveOMac Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) Great news 2 days in a row! AFX just posted photos on their Facebook of the new figures. Interesting news is that they actual recommend buying 2 sets since there are normal heads of Rahne and bobby that they say to put on Sam and X'ian's body. Here's the link for their Facebook and the article I wrote for my web site. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Action-Figur...ss/166601910677 http://crimsonmonkey.com/news/nycc-2010-ne...imates-box-set/ I love finding these in the morning on twitter, great weekend.

youbastards Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) Those look great! Definitely buying multiple sets for the change out costume variations. Just wish they had a better plan for Cannonball's blast effect. I was really hoping for a new piece, or maybe the Slimer trap effect molded in orange... 4 never before released chracters in one box, that doesn't happen very often.

luke314pi Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 This set is looking like a winner. I love the extra heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 There is definitely some "tweaking" that is going to be needed to be done to this set. Lucky for me I have an idea for Cannonballs "blast" because that flight stand wont cut it. I'm also thinking that it might be a good idea to get two of these sets for customs.

murderofcrows Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 ooooooooh baby translucent. sun spot. I am excited!! and looks like my wolfram has a bane to sniff moc847 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) These are looking better than i expected based on the previous preview images. I still think Sunspot is too yellow - but that's an easy fix. A little black sharpie ought to do the trick. The extra heads go a long way to making this set more likable. Although - i think i'm gonna want 2 of these sets now to display the spare heads. And possibly a 3rd set for customs. LOL. Damn you, DST - you really know how to wring the money out of me. EDIT: I'm REALLY happy with Karma's face in these new pics. She doesn't looked squashed anymore and i'm pleased with how Vietnamese she looks. I thought AA/DST held back on the 'asian-ness' when they made Psylocke (She really didn't look very Japanese!) - so this is a vast improvement.

I feel; the same way, I need at least two but more than likely 3. Very Clever AA, very cleaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Extra heads make this set so much better along with Sunspot being translucent. I hope the AOA is translucent as well when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 this set looks way better then I had hoped, and the extra heads are an awesome touch...gonna need to get a spare wolfman to give Wolfsbane some better hands and feet....and the translucent bobby gives me hope that the AoA sunfire will also get the translucent treatment Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 This looks like a great set and I think it is cool that they make it so you can make the alternate versions of the two characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChunk Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Damn, I'm in the "need extra sets" boat on this one too. That blast effect does look really out of place, or maybe it's just burn out from it being used so much. A red remold of the one shown with Thor from the Heroic Age set would have worked.

MINI_MYTE Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Love this set! Love the extra heads included. Love the better looking Karma face. Hate those unneccessary X belts. A simple paint job and decal would suffice. The NMs are suppose to be kids and hence they shouldn't have those annoying belt accessories to make 'em taller...IMO.

battlecat Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) I agree the blast effect looks off. Been a while since I read the trades, but don't Cannonball's legs disappear when he's blasting around? Since I'm not too bothered in 3/4 of the set, I'm happy to hear you guys will be buying doubles -- hopefully that'll mean it won't be too difficult to score a wolfy Rahne from the Wants/Haves thread Edited September 19, 2010 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Damn, I'm in the "need extra sets" boat on this one too. I'm just gonna say this now: I don't like the two 'normal' figures in this set, but I really like Sunspot (Kirby Dots on a clear minimate! NEATO SKEETO!) and Wolfsbane (have no clue who she is other then she was used twice on X-Evo when Wolverine wasn't around and they needed a tracker, but a nude Wolf girl would look pretty funny with the Universal Monsters) so I'll be looking to unload the other two, if someone wants both versions but doesn't want to but two whole sets I'll be willing to help.

mrjasontodd Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) i think i will take the extra Rahne costume and head and put AOA Magneto's extra hair on it, paint it black for a quick Dani Moonstar custom.

HRGMann Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 i think i will take the extra Rahne costume and head and put AOA Magneto's extra hair on it, paint it black for a quick Dani Moonstar custom. Was thinking along the same lines, but using Valkyrie hair if I could get ahold of an extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I actually bought a spare Valkyrie for this very reason. I was planning a Moonstar custom, but now i can use a matching new mutants body rather than an X-Men FA Jean body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 That's a great idea. So great, in fact, that it makes me a little wary of cracking open my spare Defenders set lest DST release her using that very hairpiece in an upcoming wave...

Don't forget the belt and boots, though. My plan was (is?) to use the cuffed boots, paint them tan, and use a repainted Black Widow belt (in stunning turquoise) for her unique Native American look.

buttheadsmate Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) .................. her unique Native American look. Deleted. buttheadsmate's post has been removed due to his insensitive references to the the indigenous people of North America . Remarks like "...& I guess 'dead' would be about right " ......... are not at all funny & undermine the true story of what really happened in early American history & should be treated with contempt .
