It looks like Hasbro may have swapped out a different upper chest piece for Husk. It's a very small difference. If they did, I'm glad they did. This will fit better for a Jubilee custom if they don't make her in this uniform.
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.
It doesn't help that Betsy is in a tricky spot right now. The character exploded in popularity while she was traipsing around in someone else's skin.
Now Kwannon took her body back and kept the iconic code name. (FWIW, it probably had to end like this. Marvel couldn't exactly let their most notable/only notable Asian hero disappear from existence.) Now she's just Captain Britain, which I dislike for several reasons.
I'm sure the armored Betsy figure is coming, but would Marvel even let Hasbro call her Psylocke now? Will the package say "MARVEL's Betsy Braddock"?

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.
I'm glad someone else finally brought some Marvel Rivals art in here. I can't say I love most of the designs, but this Thor costume is sick.
I believe Cyclops will be my only purchase from this wave.
I must say I'm a little disappointed with this X-Men Build-A-Figure wave. I wanted an update of the classic Age Of Apocalypse version of Nemesis. Somebody should talk to the Marvel Legends team at Hasbro about giving us a deluxe AOA Nemesis figure, or a 4-pack box set with him, Abyss, Mikhail Rasputin, and Sinister, all in their AOA appearances.

You can take heart in knowing that there are those, like myself, who are nothing but a squeaky wheel about their desire for certain characters, among them more AOA stuff. While I try to be respectful about it, I'm full court press on certain characters. I'm sure the 3 gentlemen of Hasbro Marvel are more than aware of this, which is why you're getting Uncanny X-Force before AOA Nightcrawler and Genocide/Nemesis/Non-Holocaust before actual AOA Holocaust. The only figure I think is questionable for them doing might be Mikhail as he seems to have the least fan outcry over him. But then again who thought we'd ever get an AOA Colossus.
Beyond that, I didn't realize that Dwight spilled the beans on Forearm from the SavageLand / Mutant Liberation Force.
It's actually a different four-armed character that's part of the Savage Land Mutates - Barbarus. But that makes even more sense considering they could get two releases out of a bulky four-armed body. I dunno if that's really a slip-up or just a name drop, but it's great that they're even aware of it. Definitely shows they've been looking deep into the roster.
Working my way through Uncanny X-Force now, and the appreciation for this BAF is real. Way more excited for him and Kurt now that I've read the first 20 issues. Still very much want an AoA update though.
If the X-Force Archangel rumor comes true do we think it will be a remake of the same costume as the SDCC X-Force box set? Or his Apocalypse look?
The Apocalypse look would be incredible but I’m guessing just his X-Force uniform since they’re also doing some characters from the previous iteration he was on like Warpath.

I wasn't aware of a name-drop from Dwight, but I like this talk of Savage Land characters. I keep seeing covers of those issues, with Magneto (check), Ka-Zar (check), Zabu (check), Nick Fury (check), and Rogue. Seems like it could be very realistic to get her in that much requested look. Was Shanna the She-Devil in that story arc?
I don't know who Barbarus is, but I'd still buy if he's part of that arc. And if he yields Forearm from the Mutant Liberation Front, that's another to go with Stryfe and Zero, probably the most prominent/recognizable of the bunch.
As for Archangel, I'm not picky, but I wouldn't be opposed to a new body for him, not the same reuse of the Barnes Cap body. Give him new wings while they're at it. Use the body from classic Angel.

That makes sense, it's the version I'd prefer, and he's the only one that hasn't been remade. With their deep love of this story I wouldn't be surprised to see the Apocalypse version one day.

I'm all about adding to the MLF ranks now that we have Stryfe and Zero. Wildside, Reaper, Forearm, and Tempo are the core group I'd most like to see. Thumbelina and Strobe close behind, and of course I'd take the whole rest of the lot despite their mort-ness.
