So, we know Rogue and Cyclops will be pre-orders for this year, but which other characters do you want to see?
Personally, I want Beast, Storm, Jean, and Xavier next. I'm fine waiting on villains. Even though the line is doing well, I'm a little worried it will dry up before the team is released.
Received shipment notification for SDCC Logan. That will make my 12th Mondo figure 😆
Got Logan in today (and my replacement Omega Red hand came on Wednesday) and he's pretty much as expected. Looks great, has lots of hand options, and that X-logo stand at least makes the otherwise useless stand a bit more flashy. They changed how they did the claws from the original Wolverine release. Now they're a lighter plastic and they clip into the sockets with a satisfying "click" and stay in place rather well. All of the extra hands with the channels on them seem to work well with the claws. Arms pop out at the shoulder very easily so removing the coat isn't difficult. The sleeves arms are a bit gummed up with paint around the shoulder hinge so I need to hit them with some heat to get them moving freely. Articulation is otherwise still pretty poor. Abdomen joint does very little and the way they sculpted the waist discourages from trying to use the waist twist. The legs seem to move well enough, though the crotch diaper gets in the way. He's basically par for the course with this line and since the figure looks great I'm not bothered by the articulation short comings. I much prefer these portraits to the unmasked one that came with the other Wolverine.

Why are all my posts waiting moderation?
I think I figured out what I don't like about the knee joints thanks to that photo - knees are the most protruding part of our legs, but articulated like that they are recessed and that looks weird!
Was Gambit only to be released as a timed exclusive? Magneto and Sabretooth received regular releases, but Gambit hasn't.

Rumor is he'll get a regular release around Rogues. We'll see.

I'm only getting Rogue, but they all look SO GOOD together!!! Wolverine is definitely too tall.
What is that hand in the upper-right of the promo photo below with the translucent swirly-smoke effect coming off of it? I'm guessing it's a reference to something from the show, but I can't figure out what.
Given that it's a bare hand and the swirly energy goes up where the arm would be I assume it wraps around her sleeve when you plug in that hand to denote Rogue's energy/power stealing ability. I know the non-Legends miniature X-Men 97 Rogue had some sort of green cylinder-looking boxing glove thing that was apparently supposed to be her power-stealing-powers manifested visually. I seem to remember when she stole powers in the show it often came with some sort of circular energy flare around her hands or a Spidey-sense-style flash around the other person's head etc.
Also, that group picture of the Mondo X-Men figures above shows Sabretooth as not sufficiently large/tall enough, I propose that we begin campaigning for a properly sized Jim Lee style Sabretooth from Mondo now that we have finally beaten it out of Hasbro. Justice for Victor Creed!
@misfit Do you think Gambit will be available at other online stores in stock, or more likely, pre-order?
