Cool, now Angel can drag Husk into the sky and bang her in front of her mother, like Chuck Austen intended.
That sounds hyperbolic...
*looks for the actual story*
Nope. That's enough of that.
New topic. Something with kittens and puppies.
I happen to be very happy with the UXF version of Nemesis. I loved that storyline and title and am psyched to add this figure to that nearly complete group. I still have the original BAF of Nemesis intact. Would I have liked a new updated version? Sure, but I welcome this one just the same. I do think it’s funny that a design that came out mid ‘90s is considered “classic” despite the ‘90s being much maligned.
I guess that's fair. I think of her from her comic appearances where her skin was much more pink/purple usually - but I do remember people indicating that her inclusion was video game inspired, so I guess this stands to reason. I don't necessarily love it, since I know her from the comics and not a video game, but I guess this gives them a reason to re-release he later with a repaint in a darker hewed skin tone.
She’s one of those characters whose look differs drastically depending on who is drawing and coloring that day (as you alluded to), so if one wanted to they could fudge her into a comic collection rather easily. 
I generally avoid MLs as a rule but as with Spiral I'm fully down for Marrow as I doubt Medicom will do her in what's left of my lifetime, and I want as much MvC rep as possible.
Other than that, Chuck in the classic jumpsuit is neat, and I think the rest of the wave looks nice for the most part (X-Factor 23 was my gateway X drug so I'm always gonna be happy to see Scott in that outfit). As for Nemesis, I like the look but would prefer the AoA Holocaust design.
I'm kinda mad about that lead in to Professtopher Walkin'. They brought out Zabu and Ka-Zar and I was expecting to see Shanna.
I might get Cortez. I will probably get Cyclops. I'll probably get Wolverine because he's close enough to the Ultimate look for me. Definitely getting AOA Gambit. The rest are a pass. I don't recognize that look for Holocaust/Nemesis and that's disappointing because it looks really, really good as just a generic toy.
I know Cyclops is just a repaint, but that figure looks phenomenal. It's such a great design.
Nemesis looks like he's from another line (in a good way). If anyone here wants the figures but not the BAF parts, I'm your man.
X-Treme/Ultimate Wolverine is a deep enough cut to where I can finally start asking for X-Men: Evolution Wolverine. Hasbro, if you're listening...

Hey, if Spider-Man Unlimited can get made…
When I saw that Wolverine, I honestly thought that WAS Ultimate Wolverine and that they had just labeled him wrong.
I completely missed X-Treme X-Men, but I do hope we get some ACTUAL Ultimate X-Men someday. X-MEN: Legends was one of my favorite games back in the day!
I always advocate for mixed-era X-Men waves, but something about this lineup is underwhelming; despite it being leaked I’m just not that hyped about any of them aside Nemesis.
Maybe it’s most the heavy hitters in costumes I don’t need? The rempant reuse? Marrow could use the bone protrusion on her forehead, Gambit’s headsculpt feels off too. The new heads and accesssories for Paige are cool
I have next to zero interest in this wave. Only one I'm kinda considering is Cyclops, since I don't have one and this looks like a nice costume that'll mix decently with the small mixed eras X-Men collection that I've currently got going.
However, that Nemesis BAF is way WAY too cool of a design. No connection to the character, but oh my god that looks sick as hell! I hope everyone in this thread's lack of interest due to it not being the classic design reflects decent prices on the aftermarket because I seriously kinda want it.
On the subject of AoA Horseman, I would be fine if Mikhail never got made. I do want Abyss and Sinister though.
Because I'm being totally lazy and should do my own homework - is this Fan Channel only like the other recent BAF waves or is this Target/Wally as well?
Anyone know off hand which other X-Factor suits pair with the yellow X Cyke?
or, for a different look on Beast:
He went back to a cowlless version of the costume in the last days with Portacio - Jean had a matching blue and yellow costume, Archangel was in his pink and blue and beast and iceman were just powered up and normal
Thanks. Jeez! Talk about a memory lapse. I could only recall specifically the white and Portacio's yellow version from the original team in the book. Guess that means it's time to dig out my long-boxes and start reading them again.
My hope for Beast's burgundy and yellow suit (my favorite of any of his looks) looks like an even longer shot now--unless they do a repaint box set at some point.

I was wondering that as I watched the stream and didn't hear them address it. But I was multitasking with work so I may have missed it. The graphic definitely didn't say one way or the other. Maybe they're not sure yet since they said it wouldn't come out until late 2025.
They mentioned that the new splash effect on the end of the Cyclops optic blast was removable, and I wish they would have removed it. I'm wondering if either end works with the previous optic blast, i.e. can this one plug into the old ones, and can the new splash effect port onto the old ones. I'm guessing neither end is compatible, but we'll see.
