Man, there are quite a few jr set slated for this year! I hope we see a few more sets aimed at AFOLs in the coming months.

WHAT is going on with Wolf Man's face?!?! FFS! Please stop giving work to Greg Land. The guy is a HACK!

Not sure how I feel about this one. LOVE that the X-Men are *FINALLY* coming back to Lego after a years long hiatus, but the price of this set is pretty steep. The Bowie (76255) was $99.99 for 1018 pieces. This is $84.99 for 359. At 1/3 the bricks, that's more than double the price per brick. Ouch.

I'm glad we're finally seeing Lilandra get released after the head tease years ago. I am curious to see what the actual figure will look like. I'll be a little disappointed if this is what the final product looks like: the sculpted line work vs the painted lines looks a bit jarring. In fact, the painted line work looks straight up janky. Still - It's nice to see the Cosmic side of X-Men get a little love recently with the Ch'od wave and now this. Here's hoping Hasbro flesh out the Shi'ar family, Imperial Guard and Starjammers a little more in the coming year.

Kinda hoping this series undoes whatever MCU-related stupidity lead to them "not really" being mutants for the sake of cinema profits.

A curious lack of Phoenix effects shown for Jean at this stage. I'm curious to see what kind of firebird power flares she comes with as that'll heavily impact my decision on whether or not to buy her.

Great shot, DenXMedia. I've had some trouble posing Rictor in my display, but you've made this look really natural.

Brilliant stuff. I follow Woof on Instagram and I sincerely hope Hasbro are watching, because his character choices and execution are both top notch!

DST made a Minimate of her that was pretty cool. She may have also had a HeroClix at some stage? But as far as articulated figures go, it was just the ToyFair exclusive mail away and the Minimate, I think.

The ToyBiz figure looks GLORIOUS. Unfortunately, the rising cost of plastic means that this wave had some serious cut backs. There was meant to be a series of unarticulated X-Babies and Mighty 'Vengers included as pack-ins. They got cut, and Mojo was downscaled in size. It's a shame, because if the Toybiz figure had been made at the right scale, I'd still be using it now. This update is good. It seems like this paint job is based off the ToyBiz BAF (Brighter yellow and liver spots), while the single release is based off the old ToyBiz 5" line (paler yellow, and less detail). I'll be getting the MojoWorld version, but i feel like the metal base and tail could use a little extra detail. Maybe a wash or some dry brushing.

Art. This is art ❤️

Love that we're getting so many new characters in this wave that we haven't seen before!

It is *criminal* that he doesn't come with a remote control and a Senator Kelly head. "My fellow Americans... I am an idiot!"

The goats get their own poster! Wait.... what is the goats' names are 'Love' & 'Thunder'?!?! 😮

Great review! Bonebreaker is such a fun, toyetic choice for a BAF. So glad we didn't have to buy 'hot claws' Wolverine to complete the BAF.

Beautiful work! Customsbymatchu always does amazing stuff. I have a particular soft spot for C & D list characters that appeared in the old ToyBiz lines in the 90s. Hopefully we see an official one from Hasbro at some point.

The new 'angry hands' are a nice sculpt, but they don't really match with a neutral face? It seems like a really cynical decision to ship her without a screaming head. 'We sculpted a screaming face for a future release, so you'll have to buy that version later'. Watch out for a another 3-pack in the future with a new exclusive character (my money is on Feral). The hair sculpt is beautiful, but as the review states - it feels incongruous with the facial expression. Hopefully the next version of her will be a more complete package, building on the good elements here.

DST are smashing it with this series. The animated busts are spot on for those of us with fond memories of the '92 series. I hope they find a way to bring out the X-Men TAS minimates they previewed a while back.

They'll show the actual figure before she goes on pre-order, right? Or did the last few pre-orders go online without people seeing the actual figure?

I totally misread the article. This makes more sense!

Great set up. This is giving me X-Force #3 vibes!

Daaaaamn! This image is gorgeous. Beautiful lighting effects. A+

Loved all the comic book trivia in this review! I'm glad we got a more 90's looking Domino with this set. The Sasquatch wave Domino looked a bit moring in the all black costume, and left me a bit cold. Super excited to have a Rictor to keep Shatterstar company in my X-Force display as well.

LOVE Customsbymatchu's work. This one takes me right back to my childhood, collecting X-Men cards, buying ToyBiz figures with my pocket money and recording X-Men the animated series off the TV to watch after school. Fun fact: I only just this year found out Tusk is an Inhuman. I always assumed he was a mutant as a kid. If hasbro can deliver a BAF half this cool (with articulated Tuskettes too), I'll be a very happy camper.

I mean, they kind of already gave his power to Hela in Ragnarok, right?
