Seriously though, would be very excited if these rumors are true. Please, the more original X-Factor, the better!

I’ve made the choice to generally stay clear of non-Bronze Age X-related figures, but I’m absolutely in for these original X-Factor looks, especially if we get a red-and-blue human Beast out of it. 

I've hoped we might get a non-iced Bobby Drake in his X-Factor uniform (light blue with a white X) someday. 

Here's the rumor "leaded" list so far...

Across The Spider-Verse (February 2025)

Right off the bat there are several inaccuracies with this list and what was just revealed unless there is another Spider-Verse wave in 2025 or if the titles were just wrong. According to the "leak", this wave is in February 2025, but the wave that just went up for pre-order ships in December 2024. Inaccurate "leak" or separate wave?

Miles Morales - casual

Spider-Man and Mayday

Spider-Man Unlimited

Spectacular Spider-Man (could this be the Peter Parker figure that just went up for pre-order?)

Gwen Stacy

Spider-India

Spider-Man (March 2025)

Spider-Man (Bug Eyes Armor)

Spider-Boy

Arachnoman

Princess Python

Slyde

Hypno-Hustler

X-Men Film Legacy (no date given)

Wolverine

Cyclops

Phoenix

Storm 

Nightcrawler

Beast

X-Men related (no date given)

Warpath and X-23 ("black suits" - his words, X-Force?) 2-pack

Archangel - Uncanny X-Force

Xavier in green jumpsuit (re-using WCA Pym in red jumpsuit)

Husk - Generation Husk

Fabian Cortez - Acolyte suit

Banshee - classic (does that mean Dwight is quitting?)

Jean Grey (green & yellow) & Cyclops (blue & yellow) X-Factor 2-pack

BAF - "a new BAF with a comic spinner rack and have little plastic comics with QR codes to redeem a real digital comic."

only a madman would prefer the green and yellow Jean with the cowl to the red and yellow with the facemask!

I've been called worse. 

Those are their colors! Scott has been blue and yellow since day one, and Jean picked green and yellow as her graduation costume and into Phoenix. The poetry of their original X-Terminator costumes was that they got back into matching uniforms but individualized with their distinctive graduation colors.  

I hate the post-Fall X-Factor costumes so much. Why would Jean want to wear Dark Phoenix colors? When had Scott ever worn a white anything? Who looks at Beast and thinks "Needs more brown?" 

I want OG X-Factor colors and post-Fall Of The Mutants. My shelves are big enough (for now) for both iterations.

Well, assuming the newly rumored X-Men related is true, I'd be in for Generation X Husk, Uncanny X-Force Archangel, X-Force Warpath, Fabian Cortez, and Banshee.

In terms of the X-Men movie stuff I probably would buy all of it even multiples in some cases. That said, I wasn't really expecting them to go back to X-Men movie stuff so I have been filling in my X-Men movie shelf with customs. Nothing against any of the newer actors, but many of the first set of casting is what I prefer (that said I very much want all of the DOFP future team, Evan Peters' Quicksilver, Caleb Landry Jones' Banshee, and Olivia Munn as Psylocke figures) As a wishlist for those particular figures rumored:

Cyclops from X2

Storm from X-Men the Last Stand or DOFP (I'm hoping for at least a pack in head from DOFP, I'm working on a DOFP Storm custom and the head's complexion turned out awful)

Jean Grey from X2 (though I have a feeling its going to be Phoenix from X-Men the Last Stand)

Wolverine from X2

Beast battle suit from X-Men the Last Stand

Nigthcrawler from X2

Nightcrawler's X2 look, is to me quite toyetic. Here's a picture of my Nightcrawler section. Note that the 12 inch figure and the 6 inch are Toybiz. The Funko was released in 2020 or so with the X-Men anniversary line

All the X-stuff sounds good to me, particularly Acolyte Fabian Cortez, as that's a rabbit hole I've wanted them to go down for a while, 90s Acolytes.  I've been wanting Husk, and had been using a Walgreens Moonstone face w/ the mask paint removed in what I intended to be an Emma Frost sculpt, but the Sharon Carter Shield 3pk I think fulfills that so Moonstone makes a decent enough stoic Husk look.  I don't so much care about X-Force as I only really wanted Wolverine in his grey and black, don't care for X-23 mostly, don't care if we get tatted Vanisher, not waiting on another Wolfsbane, Warpath's never stood out to me much, and I prefer the 90s variants of Archangel before they decided to make him waffle back to bad, or at least deranged in the 2000s.

Hopefully the XCU stuff is well done.  Overall just excited for O'Gee Banshee, Husk and Fabian Cortez though.

Banshee, Husk, jumpsuit Professor X and the X-Force figures are very welcome (if true).

Fabian Cortez is exciting. I hope they include an alternate head to make an additional Acolyte, though I'll admit I can't think off the top of my head who would work.

Love the thought that they'd do more OG X-Factor, but if they're going to make Cyclops again, they need to just get the whole team out there! Don't just make these two then leave it alone for years.

Banshee, Jumpsuit Xavier, the X-Factor 2-pack, and as stated before Princess Python, Slyde, and Hypno-Hustler for me.

@h-bird Agreed about original X-Factor. Now that we have a good Angel figure, that's an easy repaint and seems like low hanging fruit to recover the cost of that development.

Somewhere they have the human Beast figure from the TRU boxset if they wanted to repurpose that, although I think they can kitbash a better figure from existing parts pretty easily. 

As I noted above, I'd like a non-iced Bobby Drake, and if they do an iced version, give him the belt he wore.

I hope they go the Squadron Supreme route and do a couple of two-packs. Follow Scott and Jean with a Bobby and Hank 2-pack, then a deluxe Angel. Then maybe as a Pulse exclusive do a red/yellow Jean and brown/yellow Hank 2-pack, and put a really good iced up Iceman in the main line somewhere.

I might be the only one, but because of the Across the Spider-Verse wave coming out later this year I feel like it's safe to assume that the first leaked list is just fake.

I'd take it with a huge grain of salt as well. These leaked lists generally have one or two inaccuracies in a list of 20 or 50. This one has more inaccuracies already.

I really want this Jean Grey:

Preternia has said the Fox wave isn't real as far as he knows but that there is a 97 wave 3 coming next year.

This news just hit:

Want to bet the leaked movie figures were maybe these? It would fit a 97 wave based on character selection and maybe the confusion comes from these being used in the Last Stand

Princess Python has been on my top ten list forever. Give me C-list villains, especially if they were ever, even briefly, part of the Serpent Society. 

For the other stuff on the list - I'll always take more comics-related X-characters, C-list villains, and weird Spider-variants. I could live without movie era X-Men but I'm sure I'll pick some up if they make them - I caved and got the last few they made.
