Speaking of AOA, How about a 4-pack box set with Abyss, Mikhail Rasputin, Holocaust, and Sinister.
Whatever gets them into our hands. I feel like it'd be a 4pk with at least 3 deluxe figures though. Maybe you could get by with Mikhail being large but accessory-less like Cyber was (which makes me want a properly sized Cyber), but I feel like Abyss would need to be a BAF or deluxe. Same with Holocaust. Sinister actually had an AOA version that never got released. Rogue and Gambit came as a 2pk in the ToyBiz days despite the fact that Gambit was supposed to be in then initial line but didn't get released then.
The AOA Gambit we're getting now is supposed to have a chest harness that goes around each shoulder and under his arms. Anyone got a decent idea for harness accessories already in existence that would match that brown? I can only think of Forget or maybe a Captain America that might have the underarm harness, and those have pouches.
@jtmarsh try rebel10customs on Instagram. She's done alot of things for 1 12 scale, including jackets and capes. And she does really good work. She's my go to.

Thanks, I was trying to remember who this was, as I've heard good things about this person but couldn't remember the name. I know someone said she did a custom brown coat for an old ToyBiz 1st edition Gambit to replace the plastic vinyl coat that always tore.
She told me she could do replacement jackets for all the old ones that are disintegrating. I also have another project we were discussing before the holidays, which I'll have to get back to her on. She seemed pretty busy last month and I had some stuff come up, but I'll hit her up soon to see if she's still game. But yea, she does excellent work and if I had more money I'd definitely ask her to make me more things lol.

Didn't plainclothes Loki have such a harness, brown and without pouches? His has a slot for a sword in the back but that will be covered by AoA Gambit's little cape.
Anyone got any suggestions on who makes custom "doll clothes" in Marvel Legends sizes? I've always preferred AOA Gambit in his jacketed look, and having options for this figure would greatly increase my enjoyment of it.
If you eBay 1/12 scale jacket you might find something close enough.
EDIT: There's also rebel10 customs who made my soft goods wired trench coat for my 4" Toybiz Gambit. If they can do this, they can do anything!

Thanks, I knew someone on here had commissioned a fabric coat for the old ToyBiz version.
Alot of these are pre sold out on bbts now. Thats kinda crazy. I ordered Marrow and Nightcrawler since those are the ones I wanted most and was gonna wait on the rest. But if I don't get them, I don't get them. I was debating on starting this team with Monet and Husk, but maybe I won't if I can't find Husk. I have no attachment to the team, not even sure what the name is off the top of my head. But the figures looked cool so I was debating on it.
Yeah I’m surprised to see this wave starting to sell out. I was going to wait for Pulse.

Generation X? I doubt you'll have problems finding Husk later. Monet was at least somewhat active during the beginning of HoX, I can't think of the last thing I heard of Paige Guthrie doing in the books besides her time during Chuck Austin's run and her "dating" Angel for a blip. Generation X, while nostalgic for 90s kids, is much more niche in the overall X-Men lineup from the 90s (I don't even remember if they participated in Onslaught, and everyone was pretty much in that). So I think she's a safe one to not have to worry about. I ended up putting in an extra order with Amazon for a second Marrow and Fabian Cortez, since Marrow is one I'd like to have kept in box also, and I feel like Fabian can be repurposed quite easily for other Acolytes before long.

He does appear to so thank you for that. I'll have a time tricking out my AOA Gambit, since he's the only 90s AOA character we'll be getting for a while I imagine. I wish someone would just do a more Madureira-styled head for AOA Iceman, I'm sure the blue translucent plastic would be more difficult, but that figure would improve so much for me if he just looked like 90s AOA instead of Uncanny X-Force.

100% agree. Joe Mad style heads for AoA Iceman and Blink are two of my biggest wants from ML right now. Old 5" Toy Biz line did both perfectly.

Still contemplating whether Retro Chameleon's head would make for a decent stoic head for AOA Morph. I'm sure we'll get a '97 version but AOA Morph didn't have ears! I've never liked the dopey look he has in the version we got for the AOA line. I've seen people repaint the Madcap head that came with X-Men Deadpool, but I need to get better at painting before attempting that.

Agreed and should have mentioned that one alongside Iceman and Blink. In addition to the look you highlight, I wouldn't object to one with the more glassy saucer eyes he sometimes had.
I've got several heads from Madcap and Deadpool that I intend to customize to various AoA Morph expressions but I wish we'd gotten at least one official head that screamed original AoA series to me. My first exposure to the character and my very favorite Xmen storyline (and it largely holds up to adult rereading).

It seems I will die never knowing how to embed an image directly in a post here.
