How is Sabertooth on the Colossus body? I don't see any lines on the body?  Now if they both are on larger bucks then fuggedaboudit!

Not the Juggernaut two-pack body, the Warlock wave body. Only the arms were plated.

Ugh! I'm disappointed.

I hear ya. The more I look at Shadowcat’s face, the more disappointed I am, and she was one of my most wanted characters from this storyline.

[MarvelousFan87]

This is definitely a must get wave for me- I feel this would be my favorite wave of the year despite my enthusiasm for Ursa Major and Xenmu. 

[MarvelousFan87]

Anyone know how tall Colossus would be? 8 inch?

[Dodge76]

I only have Shadowcat pre-ordered and I don't like the light hair color they given her so far.

[bashpics99]

Well the figures definitely look better than the digital renders; that said, i'm skipping this whole wave.  Seems like that happens about once a year now (last year it was the venompool wave).  No big deal in the grand scheme of things, its actually nice to get a break when hasbro's release schedule has been so fast and furious the past couple of months.

As many others, not a big fan of these versions of the characters or a fully AoA based wave altogether, but that Colossus is on point. Sabes is way too big, but at least we got him. Maybe now that they have a version of the mold without banded arms we can get a proper Warpath. Rogue and Shadowcat look like they stepped straight out of the comics, but without Bachalo's weird dimensional interpretations. Ice Man as well, but as he looks ridiculous in the comics, he does as well in plastic. It's just a damn shame we haven't even gotten a decent version of regular Ice Man before this one. Magneto looks good and Cyclops is pretty much in line with all the other Cyclops'. Thanks to the ML team for not changing his body mold for inexplicable reasons like they did with Ice Man and Electro and others in the past. Legion hit me out of left field, but in a good way, and his look fits in with the 616 proper as well as AoA. So glad to have him. It's not a perfect wave by any means, but it's a solid one, and the best thing about it, no movie figures in sight. We better soak up as much comic X-Men love as possible before their much anticipated entry into the MCU.

I pretty ordered this entire wave I absolutely love anything X-men related so I couldn't pass on this every future in this wave just looks bad ass 

[PushYouDown]

Kudos to whoever posed Rogue like that. It's an homage to the Toybiz Monster Armor Rogue figure. The figure had  Jim Lee-era hair, but was in the AOA costume.

[SpiderS]

I love the sculpt on Rogue overall but these hips are almost pre pubescently thin and even worse thanks to her boots that make it even worse visually, when she's supposed to be mother of a child with Magneto, which makes it even weirder, wish they have just gone with AOA Jeans legs or Rogue Pyro two pack legs.

That’s what color her hair was in this story.

That’s what she looked like in this story. They very, very intentionally picked those hips for accuracy.

Yes, you have a point here, at least with this Cruz and Madurera, but other artist drew her with more realistic proportions, and as a counter point  same artists drew Iceman and Sabretooth with massively exaggerated proportions too but figures still have the more basic proportions. I guess saved money for me.

Madureira was the primary artist drawing her during this storyline, though, so it makes a lot of sense to use him as the reference. As for the other two, they’re using the Colossus body for this Sabretooth, which they explicitly stated was their attempt at representing him huge the way he was usually drawn in the storyline. He’s going to be significantly bigger than virtually all non-BAF figures in this line. Iceman was all over the place, sometimes drawn with huge gangly arms, sometimes drawn with a snake tail instead of legs. His control of his powers during the Age of Apocalypse was so acute he just took whatever shape he needed, so I’m not sure there’s a wrong way to depict him. I think the body they went with is probably skinnier than I would’ve chosen, but he never had the relative consistency that Rogue and Sabretooth did for most of their major appearances throughout the AoA.

[Gigantor]

Ah well, $ saved. AOA was never a great storyline for me, so the 3 waves based on that story arc saved me $ that I utilized on the Stilt man & Ursa Major waves. Only X-Men figs I really need to finish my classic team are classic Angel in either Red or Blue costume, Banshee in his green togs, classic Havok & classic Iceman with a fixed head that ain't split down the middle!

[Cyke82]

Looking forward to it, specially Legion and the Colossus BAF!!

[EvilHayato]

I enjoy AOA but was never that attached to the storyline to buy any of the figures. With that said tho, this wave looks amazing for what it is. Also if I WAS a big AOA fan, having 2 distinctive lines dedicated to that entirely would have me extremely happy. Its rare when a full wave is all related to eachother and you feel you need to get them all for that one particular team.

Lol the pony tails are separate pieces.

That was my reaction as well 😅 I assumed Hasbro 'corrected' the head sculpt? In the first digital render of Sabretooth, the pony tail is not seen...so I assumed there is none and was about to ask when did AoA sabretooth get a haircut?

 

What is with the right side of Kitty's face? is it just the angle of her pose or does her cheek look swollen?

Its been so long since I read that story, I forgotten alot. I wish Hasbro would hurry up and reveal that Excalibur set so I can make up my mind if I want this figure or not.

Is the information on the back of Cyclops right??? Last I knew he's a bad guy working with Mr. Sinister....

Yes and no. The bio mentions only the second half of Cyclops’ character arc in the series, but omits that he was a villain to begin with, as you noted. 

[tarot]

Cyclops was adopted by Sinister and he and Havok worked for him. However, he started to develop a moral conscious and by the end of the series had switched sides.

However when they 2000 sequel launched he was back on the villains side.

[RyanDaly]

Am I the only one who thinks Iceman should've been more white than blue, like the retro-carded version?
