    I’m enjoying mine. Yes it’s another Cyclops on the same mold but the design works out well. I really hope we get HOX Gambit and HOX Cable in a future wave.

    Found the trickster! I’m so glad that I found him at retail. In my country, most retailers “force” us to buy sets. However these past few months, I noticed that the sets are being broken up!

    Now all I need is a chunky Odin and Surtur (comic version) and I’m done with Thor characters.

    Yes but when posing you may feel like it should’ve had shin swivels. Most Legends Wolverines since 2016 have shin swivels but this and 2019 Xforce Wolverine lack them.
    I think Thor needs to be redone with a cloth cape and maybe a different hair piece as to not kill the neck articulation. Satisfied with mine otherwise but the hindered neck articulation is a killjoy.

    Loki could’ve at least had the chain mail sculpted separately from the torso and layered on, or sculpted directly on it for a retooled torso. I would’ve bought it if so.
    It posed well, hopefully I can find another copy without 2 of the same foot

    It’s so odd that new Wolverine does not have shin swivels. Is it not pretty much the same mold as the past few yellow comic/toon Wolverines? I wonder why they would change it?

    Welp, Cyclops was in this area. Best Buy has a Moira on the pegs. Almost worse than not having them at all :(

    Most of it is the same mold as the 2016 save for:
    • heads
    • lower arms
    • claws
    • lower legs
    • belt

    It’s because they changed the lower leg to match the Xforce costume and I think the boots on that design seat higher on the leg than the boots with the “ears” on the other designs. I just looked at my other Wolverines and retro X-men black costume(from the early issues of the nonlimited solo series) and AOA Weapon X lack the shin swivels too. Another thing with this HoX and 2019 Xforce Wolverine is that for a clean attachment point(to not break the sculpt), the shin swivel would have to be very, very close to the lower knee joint. So there may have not been enough space to make that joint and keep the lower leg sturdy.

    Still disappointing nonetheless, especially if the 2013 Xforce Wolverine(with similar boot design) has shin swivels. Then again the 2013 Wolverine buck is physically bigger overall than the 2016 buck and doesn’t relatively scale well with other Legends since Wolverine is supposed to be shorter than most characters.

    IIRC Best Buy doesn’t get complete cases so that Cyclops may be in another Best Buy in your area.

    Nice! Mangog possibility is the best thing I’ve heard since getting back into ML and it could mean the near end for me. We all know that won’t happen because as long as they make characters no other company will, I will keep buying.

    As for Spidey villains, I just want a classic Sandman and Hammerhead (I missed the last one).

    Yeah, both Best Buy and Walgreens are notorious for getting broken up cases in repack boxes shipped to them since they don't have huge toy departments and don't want to keep a lot of stock on hand. So you may not have actually missed anything MatrixOfWumbo.

    Yeah, it’s a damn crime. The only Mangog figure I can think of is the Heroclix one. Insane considering how awesome that character is.

    It seems we’re getting more Thor villains. Mangog surtur and gorr need to be made. A dark elf army builder would be awesome as well

    Move aside Sabretooth, Wolverine's got a bigger, better kitty-cat to fight.

    Alright amazon my sentinel needs legs.....

    i see what you guys mean about Wolvie’s boots, they are fine but the V boots are much better for posing. Magneto is fine and the capes better than the Amazon one IMO. So far i’m happy with the House of X figs i’ve received so far.

    lol - Ol' Victor is just crying his eyes out. He's only ever any good for distraught poses.
    Meowscles has a "glee" face. It was better than his stoic option. I like him better than ML Sabretooth hands down, though.
    And you can't see it, but he has holstered pistols on his hips, which add to the fun-factor.

    Preach!

    Cloth cape, a few different heads, extra hands, and a clear blue casting of Mjolnir for a lightning charged effect and that would've been a line defining figure for me.

    I agree with you totally on Thor. The hair not only hinders the neck articulation, may also scrape the top silver circles on the chest too...I get cheesed off with psint scruffs and scratches.

    The cloth cape is a must too...I have no idea how Hasbro decides when to use it. They used one for the SWB Count Dooku but didn’t for Moff Gideon?

    Yeah, I won’t mind Mangog too - the lore and concept behind the character is sick.

    Tbh I’m pretty satisfied with my ML collection. Its finally “cherry picking” time for me. Personally, I would like a newer comic Abomination (bigger than the 2-pack Hulk), IG Adam Warlock (amazed Hasbro didn’t update him) and a larger Galactus.

    I so regret not picking that set up...

    I’m worried we might not see Surtur and Mephisto too.

    That has to be one of the most craziest (and coolest) picture I have seem! Loved how Creed is like tearing his eyes at out in disbelief! LOL!
