NorthRaider Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) It's the return of the Julia Carpenter hair! Still wish Fantomex had spot # 4 though. What, two established X-Men and Deadpool aren't A-list enough? Less colorful Minimates is a step in the wrong direction, IMO. Blame Marvel editorial, not DST.

hellpop Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I do think it's nice to see some modern stuff mixed in once in a while, though I wouldn't have chosen this particular set. I mean, it's not like this book is such an amazing seller that Minimates from it are a must. Why X-Force and not, say, X-Factor? That said, this is a really weak offering. Wolverine is awful; does he remind anyone else of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks for the link, this set looks better than I thought it would. I guess this means we should be seeing this in stores mid-February? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I reckon these could be a bit of a dark horse (no pun intended) & I quite like them. The potted description of Psylocke's character on the reverse of the pack was initially a struggle until I substituted the word 'mediating' to 'meditating' thence finally to 'meditate' & things began to become a little clearer .

luke314pi Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 DST needs to learn to use the Shadow/Highlight feature in Photoshop. I know these are dark colored figures, but those packaged photos are too dark to show very much detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'd be curious to see a side-by-side pic of the two different costumes. I've been reading both modern x-force & the first two issues of UXF & haven't really noticed a difference in the costumes. Might have to pull out all the modern x-force stuff and see if i can get a good picture of his costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Yeah, it is a bit different. His first X-Force costume was basically just a black and gray/silver version of the pink and blue one he wore in X-Factor. The newer one (the version in this box set) has more of a raised metal ribbed look with a somewhat different pattern.

Long ago I made custom archangel I should just do another one in black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 ah yeah - i see it now. For anyone else who's interested, this is his old X-force costume: And this is the Uncanny X-Force costume: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Don't you dare get my hopes up, thinking that DST may want to use that mask for a Nighthawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) wait... are Havok and Polaris joining X-Force? I thought this was supposed to be a slim, trim hit squad with the X-Universe's stone cold killers. I feel like it loses credibility when it just becomes the new "it" team with all of the cool kids. I mean, come on, everyone isn't jaded by Xavier's dream and willing to fight their personal demons while crossing lines that others won't blah blah blah...

Neither Havok, nor Polaris have shown up. Since they are both in their classic duds and not Black&Grey uniforms, I imagine they might be introduced later as peripheral characters rather than members of 'X-Men Death Squad'.

Lobsterman Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 You know what? Now that I think of it, I'm totally fine with Havok joining the team if it means we get him in that TRU 2-pack with Fantomex I'm sure we'll be seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 God, seeing that art just makes me want that Fantomex minimate more. wait... are Havok and Polaris joining X-Force?

It's been a while since I've caught up on comic events, but here's my question: what the heck happened to Rachel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltron Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) The rumor going around is that Polaris might become a Horseman of Apocalypse again, or that the X-Force team would somehow interact with the lost in space Starjammers (Polaris, Havok, and Rachel Summers) heres hoping that we see them soon. SPOILERS As for what happened to Rachel, Alex and Lorna: the three of them along with Corsair and the Starjammers tried stopping Vulcan and Deathbird from taking over the Shi'ar throne, they then helped the Inhumans and the Kree during the War of Kings event, fought Darkhawk after the murder of Lilandra, and after that they departed for Earth (which put them into Comics Limbo).

MST3KFan Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It honestly surprises me still that this X-Force 4-pack isn't one to complete the previous team. I mean we have Wolverine, X-23, and Warpath in their outfits. We'd just need Domino, Archangel, Wolfsbane, and Elixir or Vanisher... Easy completeion of the team right there.
