    They're from the old ToyBiz Pocket Comics playsets! They scale perfectly with the figurines that came with X-Spanse.

    Man, this figure is a love letter to the ToyBiz stuff. The box is almost a direct duplicate of the 90's Blackbird box, and now these?

    He cannot. He's like 85% new parts; he doesn't even come apart.

    Can't. They share the same core engineering but they're two entirely different figures. I look at X-Savior as being what a g1/movieverse Jetfire could look like.

    Got it. Just had to ask. Was curious. Would’ve been cool if they could’ve combined.

    imagine if he could combine and then we got a MASK RHINO retooled from the corresponding SS Prime so we could make some sort of cursed MASK-X-Men combiner

    Just got this fig in the mail. Anyone know if people have 3D printed his claw yet? Not digging on that unevenness of the figure. Really would have loved 2 claws.

    This guy is half off right now on the Target app and the site, $32.50. Just ordered mine, he looks pretty cool.

    Had no interest.
    But for $32, I couldn't say no.
    I went onto Target's website to get a couple of the Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers.
    I wound up getting the X-Panse to bump me up to free shipping.

    I don’t mean to revive this thread, but how successful did Ultimate X-Spanse sell?

    I was hoping to see another Marvel X Transformers collaboration of another team (i.e. Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy).

    If you collect 3p at all, Maketoys Buster Stealthwing is an MCU Quinjet that turns into Jetfire.

    Thank you, but I’m not interested in 3rd Party. That concept sound really cool, though!

    Honestly, I feel it did pretty poorly. I like it (I bought 2, and foolish me, at full price !) But in hand it's a bit of a let down with some bizarre design choices and the X-Men figures themselves are of very poor quality. Made me think of novelty erasers :( 

    I know he's a retool of Bay verse Jetfire and maybe I'd be a little more forgiving of the design choices if I'd handled him prior but I don't collect Bay verse figures.

    based on how often I see him on sale and for fairly large discount… I don’t think he sold great. I’d claim this is because he doesn’t weaponize well

    But honestly the fossilizers are marked down and they weaponize great.
