  1. Say what you want but Claremont's second run did get us this gorgeous Jean Costume.

    Jean_Grey_(23).jpg

    And when paired with Davis we got these costumes:

    Which we have seen a few places including the Island's of Adventure Theme park. That being said, it was a mess. I just don't think they gave him the time he needed and the audiences were too impatient. Comics now are more flippable IMHO and not really building up to anything unless it is a Bendis/Hickman title.

  2. Side Note: I kinda wish some comic-book writer would take it upon himself to make Morph an actual 616 character. I know Changeling existed, and he's who Morph in the cartoon was based on. But he's like a wholly different character in a lot of ways. Costumes look nothing alike. Stories differ. Code name differs. And lots of people who only ever watched the 90s cartoon have no idea about the distinction, and still think Morph is an actual X-Man to this day, and not a creation of the cartoon. Furthermore, AoA and Exiles Morph just confuse things even further, as they have the Morph codename, but look absolutely nothing like Cartoon Morph OR Changeling (and to further confuse things, while those two look almost identical, they're two wholly separate Morphs, from different realities.) I kinda wish they'd give Morph the X-23/Harley Quinn treatment... and just inject him in the mainstream comics for the sake of establishing him in the mainstream universe. He could be a resurrected Changeling w/ a name change, or a wholly new character. He can even look like AoA Morph. I honestly don't care at this point. I just want Morph to exist in the 616 Universe, lol.

    I know this may be a weird request seeing as he's the easiest custom imaginable but I really want an official Joseph.

    Yes, I can just put long white hair on a Magneto, but then I just feel odd. As if, i just lost a figure and I'll never get it back.

    If i could get Joseph with a set of his Brotherhood, I would be one happy camper! I wouldn't even really want his entire Brotherhood, Just a box set of him, Blob, Quicksilver, and Mastermind.

    Didn't they start that with that new Benjamin character in Uncanny X-Men?

  3. I think the last Colossus and Nightcrawler were great. Wolverine and Cyclops could use re-issues of the classic costume, I suppose.

    Besides, do they need to match exactly? The cover itself doesn't have Sunfire and Banshee on it.

    !

    I think Colossus would've been perfect if he'd come with his GSXM boots. Getting those in the latest figure is a redo I could stomach. Same with Best of Wolverine only needing the new sculpted claw hands. Besides that, those two are perfect!

    GSXM Cyclops and Storm (Warbird too) could use updates...

    I always like it when colors for the same era/team match if it's a uniform color. Especially yellows and blues. For some reason when those are even slightly off it's really noticeable to me. Done perfectly, for example, you've got the Jim Lee X-Men that we've gotten... both in series whatever, the Bishop from the boxed set and even the latest Colossus. Perfecto!

    The GSXM boots definitely help balance him out:

    Yeah I stole this recipe from you a while back and was instantly taken.

    Also, I used my Janine head for Heather Hudson's civilian look. I sometimes display her with Viper's head though because Heather needs a Visor to have her hair out.

    A Captain Marvel Through the Ages set would be killer. IF they did a Carol Marvel, Genis (Avengers forever Baby!) Marvel, Capt. Monica phasing Marvel and then the original in his Kree outfit (our maybe I am getting the TV show mixed up). Would love for there to be a star Jammers set though that had Binary, Hep, Raza and Ch'od with a two pack later of Corsair and Vulcan.

  4. I'll be using Nova's body, probably with a custom painted set of belt/glove/boots to match her jumpsuit look. Just won't have the band around her chest...

    Moira.jpg

    Jealous of your pureed down Piotr though!

    I would do that but I am the world's worst painter. I'm actually scared of how I am going to be with stickers. Piotr is just a Cap America legs/cuffs, a Namor torso, the boots from Wave 47 and the chest piece from GSM Piotr. As for Siryn faces, for me nothing beats the Spidey 3 Mary Jane face and hair. I think it is because I don't recall ever seeing them on anyone else and they are so "red" it scream Irish.

  5. This is how my Moira looks now.

    a13a4d85-8f3c-4240-b656-2c0d2d80074b_zps

    I used a Mirage chest, lab coat, Janine hair piece and then Alice's face since Moira is blue eyed. Not sure if I want to update her to the Blue costume though...

  6. I received a PM asking that the sticker kit be included with the purchase of 2 full sets of 8 instead of only a full case. This person made some very good points, and I have agreed to include the stickers with every 2 full sets of 8. Below is a list of the stickers I plan on including in the kit. I know that there are some other characters that wore these costumes, but it seems that many of them can be made using other heads. However if there is a character that you can't make with other heads, and would really like to see in this kit, let me know. I tried to include at least 2 alternate looks for each Brotherhood member, since there will obviously be extras of those figures. Here is the list:

    "They're after me Lucky Charms!" First appearance Banshee smile.png
    Blob alternate smiling face
    Gambit alternate smirking face
    Destiny alternate face with glasses
    Destiny alternate masked face
    Jubilee alternate smiling face
    Jubilee Brood Infected stickers (image)
    Psylocke alternate Crimson Dawn face
    Forge calm face with bandana
    Pyro alternate costume
    Pyro legacy virus face
    Avalanche alternate creepy smile face
    Banshee "no mouth" stickers
    Banshee green/yellow chest block (matched to Deadly Foes Doc Ock)
    Banshee green/yellow chest block (matched to Best of Iron Fist)
    Siryn face
    Siryn green/yellow chest block (matched to Deadly Foes Doc Ock)
    Siryn green/yellow chest block (matched to Best of Iron Fist)
    Animated Morph face
    Legion face
    Zombie Pyro
    Zombie Avalanche
    Zombie Blob
    Zombie Destiny (why the hell not?)
    Caucasian male open collar chest
    Caucasian female open collar chest
    African American male open collar chest
    African American female open collar chest
    These are up for preorder here. smile.png

    Not to be a jerk... but when did Legion wear the Blue X-Tongs? I only remember him in the Black. Also another dumb question. Do we know the case breakdown?

  7. Definitely a lot of stickers, but I want to do this right. As for the materials, I have just enough stickers on that list, plus possibly room for one or two requests, to make it work. I am just going to do this one set of stickers. When it comes time to pack the orders, things happen fast and furious, and having two different sets based on order quantities would drive my wife nuts. smile.png

    I don't want to offend your wife, but I am seriously in love with you.

  8. Since I am tired of crying over Gen X figures I am not going to get, what about the stickers from Luke? I would love it if we could sneak in a Psylocke Crimson Dawn Tat face.

    Even better if we could finally get a Butterfly accessory!

  9. Probably just me, but as exciting as this wave is on it's own merits this sets a precedence that could lead to the main 6 generation X kids in a very generous 2 pack.

    Male body (red suit, yellow gloves, boots and belt)

    yellow trench coat

    some sort of chest explosion fire piece.

    Happy Days

    Oh my god... My head exploded. Dare we dream?

  10. Marvel Comics will keep publishing stories using FF characters if only to protect their intellectual property.

    That doesn't mean they'll have their own title or change their stance on pushing FF merchandise, of course.

    But do they have to? I mean not to be ignorant they haven't published or used several characters or names for years (Mimic or Blink for example) or titles (Ultraforce) but they are still the copyright holders. I think they have to publish something once a decade or something like that in order to maintain the copyright unless it is in dispute (i.e. MarvelMan).

  11. Yeah, its more like Storm's Cape. from the Outback wave.

    I think I might do a Banshee similar to that custom with the fabric wings.

    I did a cloth Siryn by using a cheap Marvel Legends Banshee. I always saved the other cloth wing knowing this would happen.

  12. Except we still need Capullo Feral

    Yeah I don't consider Feral part of that team since she defected so quickly.
    You're right - I want her to be included in the Capullo MLF pair of boxsets tongue.png

    STAAAAUUUP You know Zach already has a restraining order against us for our X-Factor shennanigans. Do you really want it to get enforced? PS update the Top 10 Wish List. Since 4 of them got checked off in one wave.

  13. Yeah, the Muir Island X-Men did adopt these costumes starting in 258. Once the Shadow King's influence really started to take hold the team started to make the costumes more their own and more chaotic. You can see these throughtout the story lines leading up to the Muir Island Saga.

  14. ...... and this box set has me SUPER excited. This and Wave 60 together, really

    Especially now that there is going to be a spare striped banshee cloak from the duplicates of wave 60 that i buy, which can be re-purposed for Siryn!

    Exactly! We have the perfect formula for Siyrn, now just need a Warpath & Sunspot and the team is set.
