Best Iceman

[Liney]

Going back and filling in some gaps in my collection, which lead me to wonder - what's the best Iceman?

• I like the original clear Wave 11, but wished he had a better ice effect like the frosted version.
• The blue tinted target version has a better contrast print
• X-Factor print doesn't show up too clearly, but does have his inhibitor belt

I'd probably go with the clear Wave 11, but in an ideal world would frost him up a little more (maybe a matte spray?) with an ice accessories from Wave 59

agree! Honorable mention to the First Class figure because of great tampo and the frosty hair!

He probably should get extra points for not yellowing like the clear ones do too

I’m going with X-Factor. I like the facial expression best on him out of the clear ones.

I love the blue tinted Target Iceman.

Me too.

I'd love a textured Iceman , in fact some while ago I actually procured some Tamiya textured snow paint with the intention of making one ......never did

I wish we'd gotten a series 11 type Iceman with a much bluer tint. Could have made for a great Crystar!

Yeah - I adored the original release and the blue tint version. 

I would have loved a more "crystalled" up version of him. I always thought he'd look good with "ice fists" and an iced-up shoulder armour piece in the style of the ToyBiz Mutant Armor series... Like what Nove Flame Human Torch got, but icy looking.

I never really warmed up to the character. Thinks he's too cool for everyone else.

I gotta go with the blue tinted myself. He seems pretty chill.

Icy what you did there but there was snow need Cylon .

Oddly, I like the Wave 59 version, but I took my Iceman head and hands and put them on the Bobby Drake body.

(Just don't put Bobby's Head on Iceman's body... it's... weird.)

[elhonez]

I'm partial to XMFC, because if you remove the hairpiece A) he's smiling, which is more Bobby Drake's character, and B ) there aren't any x-belts or other costume bits underneath the ice, it's a "pure ice version." I'd go for one of the earlier translucent versions, but the grimace isn't aligned with my idea of Bobby.

All that said, I use all of them in my team displays for various purposes.
