Liefeld X-Force: Cable, Domino, Cannonball, BoomBoom, Warpath, Shatterstar, Sunspot, Rictor, Siryn

X-Force: Wolverine, Warpath, X-23, Domino, Deadpool, Fantomex, Psylocke, Archangel, Deathlok
OOOOOOHHHHHH I forgot about the "black ops" X-Force. Don't we have all of those figures listed?

The ones listed, yes, but like Liefeld is missing Feral, Black Ops is missing Wolfsbane, Elixr, Vanisher, and some others.
The Siryn we got was the Capullo uniform, but to be fair she was a later addition to the Liefeld team. I'd consider the X-Force #1 team complete with just Feral.

This one is totally out of the blue. I never expected to see a redo of the red/yellow Hyperion. I'd guess the black/yellow costume is finally coming, too.

That seems like it's basically guaranteed since they tooled the belt piece. I say bring him on! He's been one of my favorite characters as I work through Hickman's Avengers run, and is from a different world than the red and gold Hyperion we're getting and therefore a new/unique character - always a plus in my eyes. Hopefully we can get him with an alternate bearded/long hair head, and maybe a new and improved modern-for-that-era Thor for him to pal around with.

Siryn, Rictor, and Sunspot are all in their Capulo-designed costumes.

Rictor and Sunspot would have to sport these to be considered Liefeld:

Of course, they wore these as New Mutants right up until they left the team and then the team was re-branded as X-Force.

Siryn needs her stylized version of her daddy's outfit:

So how many returns are going to have the first ML Hyperion and either Blizzard or Eel switched in their places?

This is the version of the team I want, and one of them comes with the Serpent Crown...

And this version on Nighthawk is essential:

That entire roster reminds me of the golden age supers Syndrome murdered from The Incredibles.

Haha I’m guessing those captions are not from the original publication…

I’d buy every member of the Squadron pictured here. I love their ridiculous offbrand JLA energy.

Yep! We're a long way from a Capullo X-Force.

Pins, pinless, both or either/or, does not bother me at all.
Preach it, brother.


EDIT: Unrelated to Sepster’s comment, I do wish Hype came with open flight hands rather than gripping hands. Fists are great, but open flying hands for him would be spot on.

I prefer pinless when they can do it, and want any new parts to use it obviously, but I don’t really care outside of female figures. Pinless makes the knee joints more solid and often means double jointed elbows for the girls, but I don’t care in this situation.

This is a cool set, we do have a nighthawk, speed demon and thundra but they’re all from different eras so it’s not satisfying

For those wanting a slightly more classic version of Hyperion, I'm betting the cape from his previous figure can be fitted to this updated body.

I just need the core 5 to make me a happy man.

What's Hyperion's left hand intended to do? Unusual grip.

Worth noting that the box art uses the Ed McGuiness art of the most recent incarnation of the team. That may be the one Hasbro plans on filling out since it’s got a much smaller and more manageable roster of 5.

Image
Close enough to be classic as well. Though I'd prefer a NightHawk more in this range.

This is the Squadron’s Nighthawk. I’d like to see him in a pack with Power Princess, or since they have Skrull heads already made, Skymax.

I love powerhouse characters like Hyperion and Dr. Spectrum. This is a great set. Gives us characters that work as both classic and modern Avengers opponents.

Definitely want Hyperion in black and gold for the Avengers.

And a bald King Hyperion would be very cool.
