Amazon has started moving up

shipping dates for these for me to next Wednesday. 

Same... Wolverine and Cortez are now expected on March 12.   Marrow now says March 31.   The rest of the wave still says April 24.    Honestly I won't mind if half the wave waits.     I have about $300 worth of pre-orders about to hit my BBTS pile of loot next week,  so this entire wave arriving at the same time would be bad timing for me.   I like getting the figures,  but I'm OK spreading it out a little.

Amazon sent me an email today that Fabian is supposed to arrive at my house on Monday the 10th. If that is true then I'll only still be waiting on Marrow and Nightcrawler. I already picked up the others. I absolutely love the Husk figure. It's one of my favorite figures in quite some time.

Put me on the list of folks supposedly getting Wolverine and Cortez this week. I'm not in a huge rush, to be honest, though if Marrow shipped soon I'd be thrilled. And Husk. The others I'm less impatient for, but Marrow's always been a fave and it's nice to be getting another Gen-X character. 

I want pics of the 2 Gen X girls side by side to see the color difference on the outfits. That may decide if i start that team or not.

Also, where to talk about Archangel?

Marrow in stock at Deep Discount for $20.78 - https://www.deepdiscount.com/hasbro-collectibles-x-men-comics-marvel-legends-marrow-action-figure-and-nemesis-baf-piece/5010996282927

They have Cortez as well but he's above MSRP. And all of these preordered at a different price still. They're all over the map!

I have Cortez, Marrow and Wolverine shipping from Pulse and Cyclops, Nightcrawler and a second Husk listed as shipping pending.

I received Fabian today (Saturday) from Amazon even though he wasn't supposed to arrive until Monday. I'll take it. I really like this figure and am very glad that they did it. Just waiting on Marrow and Nightcrawler now to finish off the wave and the BAF.

Fabian has a great face print - but his neck color not matching his face or arms really ruins the whole thing. Also, his neck hinge is really noticeable on this guy unless you pull his chin way down to cover it.

Also missing paint under both pecs. His orange flames are really nice, though. Look like candy.

Trying to figure out what I could use this guy for, but nothing is coming to mind. Also, why does he have a V on his chest? And I hate unarticulated ponytails! It's not that hard.

I'm one piece away from completing Nemesis and I don't like it at all. Never been a big skull person anyway, but this dude is doing nothing for me. The sculpting feels soft for something so big - the metal doesn't feel like metal with dents, rather just looks pockmarked. IDK.

Just got a package dropped off from Amazon.  The e-mail told me it was Husk -  but Amazon's site says it's Cortez and Wolverine.    Amazon says Husk is still tracking for an April 24 delivery.       It's got Marrow, Nightcrawler and Cyclops slated for March 31 and  Husk and Gambit for late April very weird.  

So... opened the package and got an up close look at what people were saying about that Wolverine head... and yikes - it is terrible.    Like just not a good rendering at all.   I guess I get what they were going for in terms of the expression but it's just really ugly as a static, permanent expression on a face and so I'm definitely going to be swapping that out for a more neutral Logan head... I'm sure I've got one in a the fodder box.

Cortez is a perfectly nice figure.   It's a little bland -  but I don't think that's actually the figure,  the figure is fine it does just what it's supposed to do.   It's the character that's bland for me, so bringing him to life with the figure doesn't do much.   I was never a big Cortez guy, I guess.     It's nice to have a new character but I'm way more looking forward to Marrow in a couple of weeks.

The roaring Logan head we've seen before, and this is definitely the best release in terms of real-print deco. As the only option for a figure it's a little disappointing. I have an extra neutral head from the Jim Lee team release costume and it looks fantastic on the X-treme body. Without question the expressive heads are dynamic, especially for figure photos - but similar to the 'include 3 standard sets of hands with a Spider-Man' rule, each release should definitely come with a neutral expression option. Should have been a no-brainer for a figure that didn't come with a BAF piece. I also feel pretty strongly about the eye energy effects, which should be optional. I love the recent Cable and X-Man releases... but I'd rather they don't all have the glowing effect be permanent. Ditto that one X-Factor Cyclops that didn't have a smoke-free option.

On that note, I noticed that the new Cyclops as a removable piece for the neutral head that would fit in the Astonishing head for those who don't want the smokey effect thing. So... gonna need another one. 

Amazon is really giving me the run-around with this wave...

I have to live chat when I want to cancel items now (no idea why...) and instead of canceling Husk and Marrow who I found elsewhere, they canceled Fabian and Nightcrawler.

I had to approve a delay on Cyclops, but the approval wouldn't go through until the 6th try.

It's a mess, and I am likely going to stop using Amazon for pre-orders moving forward.

Amazon says everyone but Nightcrawler will be delivered today... Nightcrawler is still two weeks out apparently.  

But Paige, Sarah, Scott and Remy are all due to land this afternoon.  Hoo-rah!

Mine have been trickling in from Deep Discount. Marrow and Cortez last week, and Husk and Gambit were charged today. Slow but steady!
