2023 - X-Men 60th Anniversary

[JPC]

For anyone who has these packs how does Animated Cyclops' blue compare to the three-packs? Curious if the legs could swap (I know Forge has his mechanical leg).

Blues are slightly different, but if you swapped both legs it may lessen how obvious it is

The first three pack dropped in my empty POL. I shipped it anyways. If BBTS and FedEx cooperates, I have a shot at a Sunday delivery. Sunday toy deliveries are the best.

Is anyone else bummed that the upcoming haslab is avengers-based? I was really hoping for an xmen haslab for the anniversary. I suppose it's an anniversary for both teams. Maybe they could have gone with two smaller legends haslabs this year? I guess I am just hoping for more x goodness this year. I know we have a lot and maybe I'm just being spoiled rotten but I want more! ;)

I'm semi bummed, I would have loved an animated series sentinel, but that's probably make people feel like sentinels are the only haslabs thing they can do. I'd also love a Danger room or X mansion diorama

X-Men and the FF got their Haslab years ago. The Avengers deserve some love. I wonder if next year's Legends Haslab be Spider-Man based.

I have the perfect Avengers Haslab for their Anniversary. A full sized Onslaught with swappable heads and modular "beetle" armor. Who better to punctuate a shared anniversary than the being that "killed" most of them. Throw in unlockable tiers with notable Avengers like Perez Beast and (Bandana) Wolverine and watch the dollars roll in.

Looks like the X-Men Villains 5 pack got moved up to ship later today (3/23) at Amazon.

Would you look at that, mine says “expected Monday March 27” hasn’t shipped yet but cool!

Base offering to include a blonde Franklin Richard’s, with tiers:

1: Post

2: Dark Xavier with evil and scared heads

3: Thor, bare chested long hair, alternate front and back plates for Onslaught to show he has been smashed through

4: Liefeld Cap and Heroes Reborn IM

Pssst, I posted this in part swaps but for anybody else who is imminently receiving their 5-pack:




Despite the older body, Vertigo is very nice and putting the right head on her makes her as perfectly crazy-eyed as putting the right head on Viper makes her more the gorgeous femme fatale.

Pretty Boy is cool, but the green effects on his guns look odd for relatively real-world type weapons. His feet could be a bit bigger perhaps, I might swap those out.

Random feels like a half-arsed custom and the left arm with no swap-out feature or even blast effects is a very cheap offering but it’s a reasonable base body on which to start improving him…

Zero is a very nice use of a quite average to meh body, the paint is crisp and there were no QC issues so I still like him more than Random but I would have liked if they’d partially used the similar but more aesthetically android-looking Poison body rather than such a basic “guy in cloth onesie” buck. That unique sculpt has never been reused and yet a few of the sculpted details could have been nicely reworked/combined to give such a starkly simple design a more interesting figure. I imagine I’m the only person who’d want that though. As goes, it’s very comic accurate so good job.

Stryfe is a very good upgrade from the previous figure who I think many missed out on but mine was missing a hand which is just shoddy lack of care. I also don’t love the weight and stiffness of the cape and that it’s glued onto an overlay which in turn is glued onto the chest. The torso has two plug holes in the back and they ought to have made use of these to secure the overlay and then have the cape removable like Infinity Ultron. These functional improvements would be more desirable to me than making it pinless. Also I find the unmasked Magneto head from Apocalypse wave is a nice stand in for an unmasked Stryfe and I’m going to add an eye flare from a spare X-man.

Perfect, I'm throwing Viper's head on Vertigo and drybrushing some white into her hair. That looks great. I already put What If! Nebula's head on Viper and that works for me. Amazon bumped my delivery date to 3/27 as well.

Is the 5-pack fan channel exclusive? That one seems destined for sale pricing just as the Spidey villains 5-pack did, but not if retailers who never run sales are the only ones who carry it.

Best Buy and Gamestop would eventually discount it, but I can't find the set on either site despite the fact that they usually carry fan channel exclusives. Maybe the price point is too high for them?
