I like that the cartoon is having them switch costumes so much. It gives them the chance to make toys from the old days. I hope they make a feral Wolverine that looks good beside other legends. I think the X-Cutioner fits. It looks like Cyclops is supposed to look like the Redd and Slym limited series. I know that Storm isn't from anything, but I really like the design. I hope they find a way to get her into her 90's short hair look.

I'm really pleased with they showed yesterday. Lot's of X-Men stuff. I'm definitely getting Outback Storm, Phoenix, and Feral. I didn't think I needed and Iceman, but I really like it. They did a good job with the accessories. Deathbird looks amazing. The only one left from Uncanny 275 is Zaladane. I wonder if we'll get her before Outback Psylocke. 😄 I noticed how female heavy my list of upcoming purchases is. I think there are still a few female characters that could be made. It made me wonder if there are any "must-make" male characters left. There are probably still a few more "classic" Wolverine characters that could be made, of course. 🤪 I don't know if I will be able come up with the funds, but I like that Punisher and Nick Fury set.

I was able to get the head for what I thought was a good price on eBay. If you already have the Phoenix figure, it might not cost much to finish it. I intend to get the Hound Phoenix figure when it is released. I had thought I might swap the extra head onto the Dark Phoenix body at that point, but I am might just keep this one.

I'm sure we have all seen some iteration of this kitbash. I decided to use the Zarana head from the G. I. Joe Classified Series with the Dark Phoenix body. When Rachel wore this costume in Excalibur, she had more of a mullet than a rattail. I think it looks great, so it's nice to have a few options until the official one comes out.

I like it. I like that he's sort of skinny and youthful.

I've never been a big fan of the Phoenix. I liked when they seemed to close that door for a while. I'm mostly interested in seeing the story of the sister. I like the 90's fan-service.

I don't have painting skills, so I'm always looking for easy kitbashes to come up with figures for characters that haven't yet received the Legends treatment. I'm a huge fan of the 80's and 90's X-Men, especially Wolverine and his rogues. I made this Bloodscream out of the Venompool Morbius and the Strange Tales Dracula. There are minor differences but the overall look is there. I just need to make some glasses.

What does the asterisk mean in the title? I see it in the movie, but I don't remember it previously being part of the comic.

We've had quite a few figures released since the last time I updated this list. Still plenty of good ones remain. If I could make a line out of the ones that remain, I would like to see: Albert, Deathbird, Storm, Synch, Kane, Exodus, Colossus (BAF)

I think I may be getting hung up on this line needing to be the top of the A-list of characters. Maybe you guys are right that there are tons of possibilities. Especially when it comes to ice slides, telekinetic effects, et cetera. I just wonder how successful a sweet Thanos with all sorts of faces and ring effects would be outside of the collector community based on the price. I'm sure a Spider-Man, Iron Man, or Wolverine would sell. I think this Maximum line may need to converge with the Dragon Man made-to-order method in order to get the Iceman with ice slides. Just my thoughts.

This is such a difficult line to predict. There aren't many figures that can demand the price tag. Maybe they could make a Wolverine, but how many accessories does he need? Multiple sets of claws and heads? Do they make limb swaps, like extreme battle-damaged arms? Maybe his hairy forearms from the Onslaught era or one with his adamantium being pulled through his pores?

Archangel looks really good. I'm not a fan of that era, but it's really cool that they are going all in on that team, for those who are interested. I think the team is doing a good job of developing their accessories. The flechettes look great.

Those are some good ideas. I hadn't thought about The Right troopers.

Maybe Widget could be packed in with Rachel Phoenix some day.... I think some Savage Land guys would be good, as would be the Nasty Boys. They were weird, and George would be difficult to do well (should he be a BAF?).

I didn't originally plan to get the Wolverine and Lilandra two pack. I'm not a huge fan of the Phoenix storyline and while I really like Wolverine and the Outback era, I didn't think I needed a figure just for the cover pose. I'm glad I got Lilandra to go with Warlord Xavier, but I think that Wolverine is one of my favorite. That Brood head is so awesome. I know it's a simple design, but that mouth hinge and head sculpt is simply amazing. The figure is nicely balanced so you can put him in so many dynamic poses without the need of a stand. Another I haven't gotten yet is the Hand ninja. I plan to pick up a few of those soon.
