2023 - X-Men 60th Anniversary

[TENIME_art]

Um, that's not how it works.

You bitch about the toys, begrudgingly buy the toys, say you've bought the toys after slamming them since revealed, and never state whether or not you like the end result.


At no point do you compliment that greedy corporation!!!!!!

Well, crap, sorry. What I meant to say was:

"How incompetent can you BE, Hasblow!? You literally have ONE job, and you can never manage to get even close to doing it right once!! A trained monkey could make better toys than you jokers!!"

Better?

That's the spirit!

Got Blob and Forge/Jubilee/Storm today. For all the stuff I collect, it really does continue to be the X-book characters I can't NOT take a break from work to check out. Even something as simple as the matching uniform X-Men really gets me.

Now I'm just waiting for the other three-pack to ship with the same anxiety my dog demonstrates when hoping I drop cheese on the floor. C'mon c'mon c'mon, need that Banshee... (Been obsessed with them updating Banshee since I started collection.)

BBTS dropped the second two pack in my POL. Should have waited six days to ship both together. But impatience...

I was gonna sell my Gambit when I get him but now I'm wondering if I should try heads-wapping him with the Caliban Wave one. Assuming it even fits.

Blob arrived today from Pulse. He looks great. I just redid my display this summer, but before I got Mojo and Blob. There’s no way I’d be able to fit them both without removing 20 other figures.

Pulse charged me for the Villains 5PK.

Blob and Storm/Forge/Jubilee arrived yesterday. As much as I love these packs, I really wish they hadn't made the decision they did with the men's upper thigh straps and that the belts on the women weren't keyed in. Both sit too high, and I would love the flexibility to be able to position how I feel best. Aside from that, this is a really great set and I can't wait for the companion pack.

After opening Blob, I'm pleasantly surprised with him! Good solid figure, tight joints and in person I can't decide which head sculpt I like the best. Really great figure overall!

[JPC]

The women's belts aren't moveable? Damn, they've always felt too high to me, too. The two times Hasbro goes to the extra effort to secure pieces in place and neither looks right to me. Figures.

When I put my collection back up after moving in the fall, despite still having the original BAFs, I left two big holes on the shelves for them (and still had to do some cramming when I got the Mojo set & Spiral lol). (I've since sold the original Blob, but have not yet gotten the new one.)

I wonder if you can heat them to stretch them more then move them down? I noticed them being a bit high as well, but I guess it doesn't bother me.

Still decided to buy a Villains Five-Pack, even if Stryfe and Pretty Boy are the only figures I need. The rest will go on ebay, to friends or wherever. I certainly won't keep them on my shelf.

Don't care about Random and his figure is pretty mediocre. Wrong body (should have been a Deluxe), ugly hips. Head sculpt is fine, I guess. Vertigo on the wrong body again. I get that no one really knows about her and even I have no idea where to put her, but at least give her a new body and some accessories. Zero is...zero. I don't want to put him next to Stryfe, as it just make Stryfe looks worse...If Zero was on the Vulcan body, I would probably keep him.

At the end, I hope they won't re-release Stryfe figure separately on a retro card. That would mean I just wasted my money on a bunch of mediocre toys

(I know they will)

You can heat and stretch the front of the belt down. The back of the belt sits in a sculpted groove around the back of the torso.

Here is two Storm bodies and the Jubilee on the left with the belts re-positioned. The Jubilee on the right is unaltered:



There isn't a lot of play but I do think it makes a huge difference:
