All instant purchases. Maddie looks particularly incredible.

Wow, I did not think this would be how we got an X-Cutioner.

Woooow wasn't expecting a big reveal the day before the stream! Maybe they just have too much stuff to show off and had to drop these early.

X-Cutioner is a dream! I know these have the toon stylings, but he'll fit in just fine with a regular comic display. Same with Magneto - not a costume I have a *ton* of need for, but always happy to get a comic-accurate look.

Nightcrawler is always welcome to get more figures, especially since he barely ever gets made. Would have liked to see him on the Amazing Fantasy buck for the added articulation.

Cyclops look great. Wonder if the blue on the cel-shaded head will match?

Maddie has sculpted details. THANK YOU. Those thigh boots are begging to get reused a billion times. Seeing her here also gives us hope for Robbie, Mephisto, and Hellstrom down the road.

Jean Grey also appears to be a figure that is included in this wave.

X-Cutioner!! Love to see such an obscure, but welcomed, 90s figure done so well (although not 90s comic-colored, a lot of the key details are there).

Wonder if the Fan Stream for 12/14 is cancelled?

Hell yeah.

I thought Maddie was some Astonishing Emma re-use, but upon closer inspection, I think she's all new.

I've always loved Magneto as a member of the X-Men. Good Guy Magneto crosses off one of my long-time wants.

Jean's long hair feels like they misinterpreted the style sheet - but to be fair, they probably only had that one image to go off of. Maybe she's just looking down too much? Missing the thoracic articulation on her already - the joint at the belt doesn't make up for it.

But points for two heads that don't look awful! And articulated pony!

Kinda funny Nightcrawler's hair is going the opposite way of how it's pictured. 🙂

That is one big baby Maddie comes with! Excited for all the sculpting she got, and the face looks good. Sculpted boots! But those are so specific they can't be reused. But that's okay - everyone should get a correct sculpt! 🙂

Cyke's headsculpts are a hmmmmmm... at this point. Didn't think they could get worse than Conan VHS Cyclops.

Magneto looks fine, but unnecessary for me, and X-Cutioner's head looks small. And his coloring is way off from the model (but maybe matches the show - who knows!). Wish one of those Magneto heads could double for Joseph...

A little bummed they didn't update the characters at the top of the card! But also - really excited for three of these. 🙂

X-Cutioner has FOH on his belt, so confirmation we'll see the return of the Friends of Humanity, those pesky kids!

@hmmberto your Jean comment made me audibly laugh out loud!!

 

I did NOT have X-Cutioner on my X-Men bingo card for this year! This is great!

I thought these lines were sculpted detailing for the costume, but it's actually just a terrible design choice. Why put the cut there of all places. They should have kept it where it originally was if they were going to do anything. While they were sculpting new boot top legs they absolutely have the capability to do something similar to Extremis Iron Man's leg joint.

These are all fantastic! I don't normally like animated style figures - but Wow! I expect to buy all except Magneto - which is also a fantastic figure, but I just don't need that look when I already bought the more classic version in the first wave.

X-Cutioner looks a tad underscaled, but I'm so happy that we'll be getting him. I had myself convinced that we'd never get any Maddy after the EoV fiasco so I'm beyond thrilled to see her here!

Jean, Kurt and Scott all look great too with those pinless joints. I told myself that I'd never need to buy yet another Cyclops after getting last year's Astonishing figure - but that didn't last terribly long.

Like I said, I've never been a fan of animated figures but after how good the first wave was and how this Wave 2 looks, please bring on Wave 3!!

@darkxorn those low thigh cuts were the first thing to pop out to me.  looking very odd! 

not a fan of losing the upper body articulation on jean, either (but her heads look nice).  I'll pick up Cyclops though since I missed the VHS release.  Is that the same body?  I appreciate the extra hands with him as well as head and effect.
