Omega Red sold out in 30 minutes

 

Better than I would've thought! I guess all the X-Men ones are going to have at least a limited edition going forward. Huge bummer. I prefer the timed editions.

@jtmarsh I'm using the AoA Iceman as my default Bobby but I cannot stand that head sculpt with the spiky hair. I wish it were more natural looking. Like the way Joe Mad used to draw him.

What is THAT? That is exactly the Iceman of my dreams! And then make JoeMad heads for everyone but especially Rogue. 🙂

That was the picture I mentioned previously of the render someone did for AOA Iceman shortly after the lackluster AOA revisited via X-Force version came out.  Truthfully, I'd like a properly done head for Sunfire (the one we got's eyes are too spaced out and don't look like Joe Mad's stuff.  A more Joe Mad looking Morph head and, as you said, Rogue would be nice too.  Not saying everyone needs to resemble Joe Mad stuff, but it would be nice for a few of the characters that really benefited stylistically during AOA from his designs.

Fingers crossed for a BAF/Deluxe Holocaust sometime soon.  My Sabretooth needs a screaming head like the cover to Astonishing, and we never did get a properly done AOA Blink.

Is the updated Wolverine the latest reveal? Going to see Storm or Apocalypse revealed soon.

They talked about Storm on one of the livestreams, right? Didn’t think Apocalypse was confirmed anywhere.

@gpmartin414 They really did mention Storm??? Both of those were honestly wishful thinking on my part! Storm is my #1 want

They showed a new Wolverine so it's likely he's next. A Storm figure would be after Wolverine, at the earliest, but there's been no official announcement.

Great to see Spider-Man will be up for sale soon! I really don't know how deep I could go with this line given the cost but I at least hope to get Spidey

 

Wonder what accessories will be with a Timed edition?

Sale is tomorrow at 1 PM EST. Timed edition comes with an alternate head (wide eyes), some symbiote goo, and the Green Goblin mask. Timed is $240 while the standard is $220. Looks nice, but I don't have the room to go down the Spider-Man rabbit hole.

EDIT:  More info on Mondo's website reveals that the short web lines are also part of the limited edition (it's 1,500 pieces, so no open order window). Looks like he has a little more articulation than usual, but nothing that's going to let him get into deep crouches or anything too crazy. It's basically just bicep swivels and maybe double-jointed elbows. Would probably need a joint at the base of the neck for a true wall-crawling or crouch pose.

I think this one is kind of a swing and a miss. this one doesn't share a lot of similarities to the 94 design. Actually if I might be so bold, I feel like the recent Legends figure did it better.

Huge bummer that it's a limited edition. Means you have to be there to get it exactly at the scheduled time because the limited editions have sold out within minutes but almost always by an hour now. Hard to do when they only announce the figure will even be going up for sale a few days before (typically the Friday evening before the Tuesday sale). I hate that Mondo started doing that nonsense once Funko bought them.
