This is as good of a time as any to mention that Kitty is one of Marvel's flagship female X-Men characters and she should have at least as many figures as Storm, Rogue, and Jean do.
The fact that we only have the too-tall Juggernaut wave one and the very mediocre Excalibur box set one is a real slight upon her character and it's fandom.
There are so many versions of Kitty I still want. Her original training uniform look is essential to the early 80s X-Men, her "Ariel" costume in either green, blue, or both, an updated Astonishing look, her full-pirate Marauders costume (and not just the neckerchief they added to Marvel Unlimited subscriptions)...heck, I'd even take the deliberately goofy roller skates & legwarmers costume from X-Men #150.
Bonus points for including the absolutely bonkers and ridiculous striped knee socks with roller skates costume. That was such a hilarious "young teenager throws everything at the wall" look it made me giggle.
But I absolutely agree that I desperately want those other looks for Kitty - original training suit with cowl, green and orange Ariel costume - plus multiple others would be welcome too - an updated Astonishing version for my man TSI, even the red jacketed pirate look would be acceptable.
I like more figures of all the X-ladies as long as we get different looks from the books instead of the same costume over and over again (a pox on all the people calling for Psylocke in her leotard again)
Leotard Psylocke is already in the leaks again for 2025. It is eternal.
I know... Jim Lee pandering to horny 13 year olds means I can never, ever have a Psylocke figure in her cool armor - or any of the other costumes she ever wore. It's exhausting.

Somewhere, Captain Ultra is smiling.
@andru how could I have forgotten the best Kitty figure they have done, even though it doesn't rank as a personal costume favorite.

Oh I've no problem with it. If it's on a better articulated body to go with the MVC set I'm all for them redoing the Jim Lee look.
Of course right now my only big Psylocke want is the Peach Momoko design.
Kitty is sort of like Wasp in that a 5 pack with various looks might be worth considering as an exclusive.
@beamish I would pre-order that SO quick!
