I do love how both AOA Wave 2 (Colossus BAF) and this year's X-Men Wave (Ch'od BAF) were both Wolverine-less! More of this please.

1) Spiral (Absolutely perfect figure. No notes). 2) TAS Apocalypse (Those colours really POP). 3) Meggan (I have 2. Don't ask LOL). 4) Beast (Happy to finally get an amazing Beast headsculpt. Hated that Caliban wave head). 5) Longshot (Got the single release but might also pick up the Boxed set if the price goes down at EB stores). Funnily enough 4 out of these five (only Meggan) are still boxed. I still have Mojo, Toad, Sabretooth, etc. boxed. Not to mention that I don't even have all the figures for Bonebreaker purchased yet. So this list might change once I see those out of the box. But right now, even with these above in box, they are a thing of beauty. The Vintage packaging is *chef's kiss.*

Destiny is a big want. She was big in 2022.

💯 It's quite surprising to me that she's not topping most Top 10 ML lists though I do get it. If you're not a fan of a character no amount of perfect figure will win you over.

Imagine if they added a Professor X head with that Franklin Richards and get people to double dip with Savage Land Xavier and DOFP Franklin. If they were really in a giving mood they would also include a DOFP helmet-less Magneto but I'm just talking out of my arse now.

Yea I wish they committed to it. IMO it looks best on the Storm (if only they improved the quality of the cape). LOL You were actually wanting strangers on the internet to talk you out of doing something you were clearly gonna do anyways? It's your collection...

Looks like they're trying to cover their collective 🍑 in the very likely event that Hugh's Wolverine is ruined by his appearance in Deadpool. I don't know why they care. Hugh already appeared in X3, Apocalypse and more importantly: X-Men Origins Wolverine. (I know I know they want to protect the perfect ending they had for his character in Logan. You know how else Hugh can protect that perfect ending? Hugh should listen to his friend Jerry Seinfeld).

1. start with a Days of Future Past Hugh Jackman (and hopefully the rest will follow. Best of costumes from the movies: X2 Cyclops, DOFP Storm, DOFP Rogue Cut white costume Rogue, X2 Jean, X3 Iceman, Deadpool Colossus etc). 2. Wolfsbane X-Factor (Gotta complete that X-Factor shelf). Feral would also fill out my X-Force team but there's currently too many figures on that shelf, unlike X-Factor, so Rahne wins out. 3. Sage X-Treme X-Men (stand out character in an otherwise lacklustre book). Though I did like the other ladies' costumes in the book too (Rogue's, Storm's, Psylocke's). 4. Artie AND Leech 2-Pack. Nuff Said. 5. Human Piotr Australian Outback (I want a half naked Piotr figure on my shelf. Sue me!) Rachel Summers would've been my No. 1 want but for now I'm happy using the newly-released Dark Phoenix buck with the Black Widow (Gray) head.

Got Multiple Man, Longshot and Toad on sale from TRU. Funnily enough, Toys R Us Canada's prices have been so ridiculous that their current 20% off discount afforded me a dollar off on par with other stores. Toad however was a bargain, so Score!

Speaking as someone who grew up on the X-Men The Animated Series cartoons, there's something appealing about having a shelf dedicated to it. Besides I've already got all those "Jim Lee" characters in their normal looks. It's just another way to own those characters again.

Ok I'm not going crazy then lol Yea it's terrible.

For Generation X I vote for Skin. They can reuse Mr. Fantastic's weird stretched out fingers from the retro-carded F4 wave. Speaking of Gen X, anyone else think that newly announced M head is kinda ugly? Might be because it's undersized compared to her body. I've seen many complaints for that Emma Frost head on social media (I think that Emma head matched with Cassaday's art) but not a peep about that M head. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The costume does look good in that character turn around. For Doug Ramsey I'd rather see his New Mutants look. And I'm afraid if they went with this look for him, that they'd go for Sage in her yellow costume too, which quite frankly reminds me too much of Jubilee (I always have to do a double-take everytime I see Sage on a comic page, thinking it's Jubes). I think that Jean and that Storm would look good in figure form.

I certainly wouldn't say No to a Savage Land Rogue but considering the rumoured Fan Channel Outback Rogue I think the likelihood of getting two different Rogues in one year is unlikely. Unfortunately.

Although I've said this was wave of the year, I've only preordered 3 figures from this wave: Dark Phoenix, Spiral and possibly this MM (I don't remember if it was Jamie or LongShot that I PO'ed). I don't think the wave will be hard to come by. I also agree the gold doesn't mesh. I wish they gave him all 3 heads a la the other Jamie. That other release was definitely the better value considering that one also came with his trench coat plus a BAF part.
