She's a little tall for me from reviews i've seen on youtube... If she was a couple inches shorter i wouldn't be whining about not having the jim lee marvel legends rogue. The selects Rogue's eyes don't look as weird like this ML one IMO, but she's got the early 90s hair perm/style down. lol
There is so much win in that set but my god is Scarlet Witch so beautiful... can’t wait!!! Damn it Amazon hurry up and get my copy into my hands. I already have the Legends but I love Rogue so this was a must. Man Select did a good job I hope Psylocke turns out just as good.
Finally opened my X-Men case.. Good thing I ordered Full case so I have 2 gambits. One of the gambits have minimal paint app issue on the eye (not centered on the eye socket sculpt). Still an effective figure for those aren't very choosy. So I swapped the heads. Will sell that extra gambit later on. The gummy knee joint is evident but still manageable. Not floppy legs and still can stand on it's own. I wish the Weapon X have screaming masked head. But I don't know what Hasbro lead them to give us what we have now. The too much hair on unmasked head is based from the old comic cover of Weapon X. I really don't know why Jubilee was given 2 extra sunglasses. Beast is a real Beast. Best figure of the year. I can't still pull off the one hand stand though. I haven't opened up Skullbuster and Blink.
Absolutely love this set. Favorite line up of one of my favorite teams. Although my set didn't come with Gamora's plastic cape . Super disappointing as I prefer the hooded head but it just doesn't look right without the cape.
Got Gambit myself (my roommate got him already, figured have a back up in case my roommate ever moves out)
I just got an info that Hasbro cancelled a full case release of Jim Lee Cyclops not so very long time ago. I don't know if Hasbro is screwing the fan demand or just took a "dip" to see how much is the demand and "backtrack" to "re-plan" things over. My best guess is that while they can profit millions of dollars from a full case re-release, they want to earn billions seeing how many suckers for a Jim Lee Cyclops figure. Pair it with another figure and make it a 2-pack to earn double millions. If that's true, that's very sleazy clever ass by Hasbro.
^the point is.. It's Hasbro's instant profit if they didn't cancel those full cases of JL Cyclops re-releases. It's puzzling that a company denied themselves of earning profits.
I highly doubt that. If anything, Hasbro has proven themselves to be more incompetent than sleazy (though I will state that it's more upper management and not the hard working designers and whatnot). Cases are cancelled because the cost becomes too high and there aren't enough orders to meet demand. Plus it takes a while for a decision to be made on pure cases that then has to go to the factories. Make a wrong guess or assume something that just doesn't work out and you can't have those nice pure cases of anybody. But this is all just from what I've heard. I'd love to hear from anybody with more knowledge in this field than I.
Cost becomes too high? - Yet they're able to full case Juggy DP, Multiple Man, Omega Red, Bishop - While Jim Lee Cyclops only uses the much abused Buck Cap mold with added toolings and accessories. There aren't enough orders to meet demand? - But vultures are selling JL Cyke like a mad dog in EvilBay - And there are willing suckers to buy from vultures. - Doesn't that "ring a bell" to Hasbro? Or are they afraid they'll commit overstocks like what happened to Deluxe Archangel right now? I'd like to predict that a flood of JL Cyke will still outsold the warming Deluxe Archangel figs.
