minimadman Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 ADS just updated again with a new X-Factor pic Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 oh man. that hair piece for jean is a nice piece of sculpting. Quick question - not to nit-pick, but are Jeans eye's green or brown in 616 continuity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Green, I think? And the Silver Age Jean hairpiece looks like a reuse of Sand Saref's from the Spirit boxset. The X-Factor Jean is using Jewel's hair from Secret Invasion. Edited August 22, 2009 by NorthRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yeah - i thought they were meant to be green too! Well - the 'Sand' hair looks pretty nice on FA Jean. It's a pretty nice sculpt. i Never bought the spirit 'Mates, so i didn't recognize the piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 So do Hank and Warren (in his own little pack) get niffty hair pieces too? Or are they left out again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 It looks as if the X-factor Iceman got updated as well. He will now have an "X" showing on his chest. Check out the AFX blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm undecided about these sets. Iceman is one of the few X-Men, I don't have. I never liked his original "snowman" look so that makes me lean towards the X-Factor set, but although I collected X-Factor in the eighties, the first appearance set as a whole seems nicer to me. I probably won't decide until the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Personally I would have loved the awful awesomeness of Mr. Mashed Potato Ice-Man. On the other hand why not just a minimalist clear 'mate with perhaps just a couple of facial features,maybe a removable detailed belt?

dr baghead Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 god i cant wait for these i hope that with all these x-men mates upcoming they dont forget about the villains like you guys were talking about mimic would be awsome this would be my line up for a brotherhood set(the same way there formating the x-factor&fa sets) It just occurred to me, if these sets do well they probably won't look to villains for the next sets (since we're not that lucky), but rather other hero teams. And who has gone strangely missing from recent waves? The Fantastic Four! It almost makes two much sense: "Powered Down" Set: -Lab Coat Reed (Labreed!! with test tubes) -Ben Grimm (fresh off loosing the Secret Wars poll!) -Sue Storm (with an extra set of those 'half-phased' limbs they so love, and a clear shield) -Johnny Storm (also with extra half-phased limbs and probably fire hair, fire hands, flight stand) "Powered Up" Set: -Mr. Fantastic (with bendy limbs) -The Thing (probably with duck feet now) -Invisible Woman (with extra reversed half-phased limbs!) -The Human Torch (also with extra reversed half-phased limbs! and all the stuff Johnny had) BONUS THRID SET!!! Since there are people out there who want the Team in "Blue/Black" and people out there who want the team in "Blue/White" A third set will take Sue and Johnny from the powered down set, and Thing and Mr. Fantastic from the Powered Up Set and release them in the opposite team color!!! However to maximize sales potential this won't be a "matching set" no, no, see the "Powered Up" set contains the Blue/Black costumes and "Powered Down" contains the Blue/White outfits... the only way to complete a team in matching blue uniforms is to buy at least 2 sets. (and Lab Reed/Inivisibe Woman and Ben/Torch with alternate colored belt/gloves/boots will be TRU 2-packs down the road incase you want every possible team combination in both uniform schemes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 the classic set is a definately yes for me. not knowing the series/era, or liking the costumes, i'd been considering the x-factor one for the updated iceman (lose the belt) and possibly a civilian scott. having seen that supposed upodate, with the X on iceman, thats a pass from me. but yes... that classic set, a long time want.... horrah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Sue would be invisible from head to waist and Johnny aflame head to waist as well. That's how his comment came across to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronotrigger Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Did these go up for preorder yet? Can't seem to find them on AFX's site. Gotta have both sets. Edited October 9, 2009 by Chronotrigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
