Just watched the first X-Men last night. Still love it. But wouldn't be in the market for any of these. Pass on all.

While the Fox X-Men stuff is mostly insultingly bad, there are some diamonds in the rough. X2, Logan, both Deadpool movies, and DoFP are either straight-up good movies or have good parts. I liked some of the casting choices, particularly McKellen, Stewart, and Famke Janssen. There are some worthy bits of dialogue and character moments interspersed throughout the series, too. I believe the first movie is the reason that Magneto's Holocaust backstory was finally canonized, as well.

All that said, hell fucking no.

Starting to sound like the last time I suggested that Hasbro might do something for the X1 anniversary and we got some XCU figures.  Hated in text, bought in private perhaps.  I believe jacketed Jackman Wolverine and the white tank Amazon variant sold out well enough that it would warrant Scott, Logan, Jean and Storm in their X1 uniforms.  Xavier and Magneto from the films hit discount, but it was a decent enough set with both Stewart and McKellan heads.  I think Rogue, Nightcrawler and Iceman would sell decent enough; plus with the X-Men license's resurgence we know XCU figures are a safer bet than most of the figures Hasbro gambles on trying to sell (Eternals anyone?)  I'd probably buy the main cast, possibly even Kelsey Grammer Beast, don't know that I'd need Gyrich or Senator Kelly unless they're pack-ins.  Plus lets not forget many of these older XCU actors are going to be in Deadpool 3 and possibly Secret Wars.

I used to have the majority of these figures back in the day, (as well as the Famous Covers versions of Toad and Storm).  I’ve since let them go, except for the motorcycles.  I’m not generally a movie guy anymore, but I might consider a quality update of some of these, but I’m not clamoring for these versions.

Yes to Chitauri and Bushwacker. 

I’d probably get any of those Irish themed characters, too.

While good for the time I don't really think most of the designs hold up and I have no real interest in toys of the 2000 X-Men.

Yes to Timeslip.  More New Warriors!  More!

Also, a yes to Fixer, Techno, and the robotic version of Techno too.  Hasbro needs to finish the classic Thunderbolts.

Definitely want figures of Fixer, Techno, and full-on robotic Techno. He’s a great character who evolved to become more and more interesting.

Pass on Timeslip.  Don't remember her time with the New Warriors and not a particularly interesting look.

Fixer/Techno.   A double HELL YEAH.  How about a two pack of First Appearances for Fixer and Techno?  Either way I really want an original Thunderbolts lineup Techno.
