Brave New World would be a nice, optimistic title if it hadn't already been used in a tongue-in-cheek way. I'm sure they were aiming at optimism, and most people will probably accept it at that level. I'd be super surprised if they went dystopian.

I think Brave New World is the more terrifying title. I'm sure no one involved in this movie read the book....

Hm. I guess I would say most of them seem to fit that. The new Rogue is an exception. She is clearly from some J. Scott Campbell cover, or something.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by evergreen based on the figures you described. Does evergreen mean something like fresh and alive? What is your intention? I actually think they did a good job of making X-Man look like Steve Skroce drew him, and Dark Beast like he appeared in X-Men: Prime. I'll look forward to your clarification so I can answer your post.

Wow. Those look good.

I don't like the constant changing of heroes to villains and villains to heroes. They haven't done that to Beast yet, right? They had Dark Beast, but he was a distinct character. Maybe they'll use him as their escape hatch.

I've been looking for Cecilia Reyes head swap possibility. GI Joe has nothing yet.

Thanks. I didn't know that was from a modern comic. I don't know if it was a lame idea at the time, or if they just didn't pull it off well. How did you make your Joseph?

Are you saying the Mastermind who appeared in the old Uncanny X-Men #4 was his daughter? I might be misunderstanding your post. I'd love to see Mimic and Post. They'd almost have to be deluxe figures. Mimic would need a lot of accessories. It's funny how significant some of these old characters were, or are now, but in the 90's when I was reading, they were hardly around. I first learned of Unus in, I think, X-Men Alpha for Age of Apocalypse. Mesmero only appeared so he could be killed by the Dark Riders. Destiny was dead for most of the 90's. I'd buy them, though. 😄 I didn't like the Astra retcon.

What? Did they do a retcon with Lady Mastermind?

Would you want to stick to those teams? Who is left?

Who would go in that wave for the Brotherhood? I've heard someone say the recent Mastermind wasn't accurate. Would he? What about Unus. He wasn't part of the first team. Scarlet Witch with her weird mask?

Looking up the first appearance of these teams, it's amazing how significant Paste-Pot-Pete is in Marvel history. He was in the Frightful Four and helped defeat the Masters of Evil.

Yeah. They're trying to service the older fans. Not a bad idea to appeal to the faithful guys. As long as they honor the story.

Funny you would think the shorts and jacket look would be the better one. I don't know much about that character, but what I know I don't like. Anyway, this figure is clearly a cost-saving figure. They probably could have kitbashed boxer short Deadpool with the Hood's torso and jacket and come up with his goofy prep school look, or whatever it is. As it is, this figure will probably become custom fodder for most collectors. And I hate characters with "Kid" in their names.
