I'm really ready for Husk and Marrow, two characters I started reading comics with. And they look great!

Though I am probably going to swap pieces between Paige and M because I hate that the reds and golds don't match. The red I might be able to live with, but the armor pieces are likely swapping.

And points to whoever turns Paige's screaming face into Siryn first. 😉

I received Cyclops, Gambit, Husk and Wolverine from this wave today. Husk is probably my favorite figure in a couple of years. I don't like the Cyclops at all. Still waiting on Fabian, Marrow and Nightcrawler. Fabian and Marrow are likely to be my favorites after Husk. I'm only getting Kurt for the BAF piece.

Is there something wrong with the Cyclops or do you just not like him?   Just curious if it's a poorly made figure or simply a figure you don't care about...

Do the colors on Husk and Monet really not match? If so that's disappointing, and doesn't bode well for the rest of Generation X.

I mean -  even if that's true... isn't this the easiest fix ever?    Just order another Monet from Amazon for $16.74,  pop her head off,  put Paige's head on the body -   put the Monet head on the Paige body,  put that back in the Monet package,  return it to Amazon for your $17 refund - and now you have Paige and Monet with matching colors....   yeah it's more work than you should have to do, but it's easier than painting.

It's even easier than that - I have multiple Monets already because I customized Husk and Jubilee with them! Didn't think - but should have assumed - Hasbro would make an ass outta me by doing Paige next instead of Synch or Skin.

Don’t Monet and Paige have different torsos?

Yes, they're different. Also one would need to paint the neck because the skin tone is different.

Fair enough, though I wouldn't call that multi-step process of purchasing, swapping, repackaging and returning a figure the easiest fix ever. And it's still a crapshoot which of the other members that get made will end up matching the first two that have been made - if they all come out matching Husk instead you'll need to do the whole process in reverse. But - and I mean this very sincerely - this is the exact kind of insignificant debate about toys that I can't have with anyone else in my life and that I desperately miss when the Fwoosh is down!

I agree with most that I too really miss everyone and all of the info and opinions we exchange on here when it is down.  We really need to set up a discord or something for when it goes down to be able to keep in touch or move to another platform if there isn't a Fwoosh 2.0

There's a Fwooshers Anonymous page on Facebook that's available, but didn't get a lot of engagement during the downtime despite some attempts to do so.

Never-mind, I tried to send a link, and it said it's not available, or possibly private.

I tried to include a link, but maybe the group is private only?
