I'm wondering why Jean isn't moving much. She is a pretty good figure. Magneto I get. For the first outfit the body is too small and for the 2nd outfit not alot of people know or are fond of it.

Looks like BBTS has Madeline back in stock but they upped her price.

Much to my surprise, Entertainment Earth shipped the restock of the Gambit figure I ordered months ago. Was totally expecting him to get cancelled, but I'm so glad he didn't! Only missing Rogue now- I'm sure we're all hoping she'll get a re-release.

Ol' Remy was delivered today. I said "Ooo Imma bout to make a name fo myself 'ere!" and tore that baby open. So happy to finally have him in the 97 display (and even happier I didn't end up having to pay out the wazoo for him). Just hope they re-release Rogue at some point in the future.

If this is how we finally start getting some Quitely era X-Men figures from Hasbro, I’ll be stoked.

I hope this is a joke. Otherwise, it will save me a lot of money I guess.

Hmmm. The last three episodes of this show really didn't do much for me and I think a big part of that was the costume regression - returning to earlier eras costumes for new material is a huge mismatch in my brain. Storm growing her costume out of nothing - and her hair - was so unnecessary, and then everyone wearing old costumes for the nostalgia really just didn't feel right in a show that needed to move forward.

This news, if true, is certainly a step in the correct direction. But I also would prefer if everyone kept wearing their iconic outfits because those outfits are iconic specifically because they never changed in the original animated series. No one allows an idea to actually take root anymore before pulling it up and planting a new one.

Awesome. If a multimedia push is what it takes then more power to them. The later episode nostalgiawear was one of the coolest part of the show for me, so it'll be interesting to see how they introduce these.

Yeah this is great news. Really looking forward to getting these looks - though it will be bittersweet if the show designs are noticeably different, and that's what the figures end up being. Would love to get them as close to the comics as possible.

Still hoping we get Sunspot too. Introducing a new body for teen characters with better articulation. And hopefully have reuse potential for future comic New Mutants.

I liked the stories but not the looks from the Morrison/Quitely era, but I really appreciate what they're doing here - moving through time, exploring the evolution of these characters both visually and in the story. I think it's a really clever idea, even if it's not my favorite look for the team.

Would be cool to get final form Bastion with the metal wings.
