I'm kinda tempted by the x-force set, but x-23 really deserves the new reverse ab crunch buck and they both have really bad lollypop/big head syndrome. head sculpts look great otherwise. i'm very curious about how well this Warpath body poses, it's new, right?
It's the same base as the 80th Anniversary Venom from last year - which itself is based on the Omega Red buck, but with a much improved torso. It's pretty great, most people's only problem with Venom was the neck articulation they gave him was terrible.
@h-bird oh thanks! I have both those Venoms and now that makes sense. It is a nice buck for sure, especially after carving out the head and neck (and a coat of mr super clear). I might pick him up on the secondary market, seems like most people don't care about him and just want the X-23.
I'm going to throw a fit if the inevitable Magik upgrade is given the same treatment as X-23.
Especially considering that they'd be giving her the Brother Voodoo treatment, and making that same costume, for the 3rd time, for the character. & having it be the ONLY version of that character.I'm going to throw a fit if the inevitable Magik upgrade is given the same treatment as X-23.
I only remember one other X-Force X-23 before this one. From the Sasquatch or Wendigo wave? What’s the third?

OK, I misread Basil Elks' post. I thought he was talking about X-23 being released 3x in the X-Force costume, but he was talking about Magik being released a possible third time in the same costume she's been in for two releases (SDCC Book of Vishanti and Walgreens).
Spider-Man '77 preorder link. Not live yet, should go up at 10 EST.
GI Joe Classified Crystal Ball preorder link. Just cause I happened to have my eye on him, even though I'm supposed to be cutting back.

That walgreens figure also had a rerelease last year in fan channel. It's in stock at amazon and Best buy, bbts, ent earth, etc for retail
They've made enough of the group that I'd like to see them finish it off as well. Wolfsbane, Vanisher, and Elixir are the ones on my radar.
Shout it from the rooftop!
I totally agree that I want them to finish that version of X-Force for sure... but I also feel like it would be mildly disrespectful to get that version of Vanisher before the classic costume villain version... I mean, I definitely want both in my collection and if they made the X-Force version in the next wave or next 2-pack or whatever I'd definitely buy it... but I'd be bummed if that's the only Vanisher figure we ever got.
I appreciate the love for Kyle/Yost's X-Force. It was a very solid and entertaining book with a great cast. But then Remender's Uncanny X-Force followed it and blew my mind. I liked the similar cast and concept, but the new direction was refreshing. It gave me a new appreciation for characters like Fantomex (who to me was a throwaway from the Morrison run) and Deadpool (a character I never read prior to this book). And at a time where Wolverine was EVERYWHERE (X-Men, Avengers, his own book, among others), he took more of a back seat despite being the leader of this team and its previous incarnation. And it should be pointed out that these are two distinct teams (with only Wolverine and Archangel in common). I love being closer to finishing X-Force, but Archangel's design changed in Uncanny X-Force, and I kinda wish that was the version we are getting.
@panthercult It's almost a rule now that a more modern look for a character comes first in ML. And then their classic look. Gets people to double dip, as they think that first, modern look will be their only figure. Then a year later, their modern look lands. Although, it would be a shocking world if the Vanisher gets two ML figures. I think that may be a sign of the apocalypse (little "a" not the character).
