I think I?m pretty much done with my X-Men collection (unless a proper Jean comes out. I also do have a kitbashed Emma Frost that?s half done) and have since moved on to just MCU figures, but I?m happy with the little group of mutants I do have.

That’s a very nice looking group!!’

But what are you going to do now that Mutants are part of the MCU :) $$$
 
What's the consensus on the new Sideshow Wolverine? I thought they did a great job with their Magneto figure
The production figure looks exactly like the prototype, so what you see is what you get. The shoulders articulation is bad, and there is a visible seam (that may seperate!) On the shoulders. Mine did seperate slightly, but it wasn't really an issue once the arm is fully plugged in. The claw plates are pretty loose; I put in a little bit of Blu Tak to solve for that. The third and final issue is that they didn't resculpt the forearms on the seamless bent arms, which means the detail sort of disappears above the glove, because the new figure has shorter gloves than the previous version.

So there are definitely flaws. It's up to you whether they are deal breakers for you. Obviously I wish the figure was perfect, especially for the price, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. A bunch of display options and great art direction, looks sweet on the shelf.

Update! Attained Magtant 2.0, "The Mystery," Phoenix display, finished Angel, repainted Beast's uniform, and rearranged the team. Currently working towards Gambit, Jean, Rogue, and Jubilee/Kitty.

That looks beautiful Saint! Lobe that cyclops. If I didn?t already have two I?d pick it up. Might try to get the head parted out.

I would love to collect the comic costumed X-Men if I had the space, this Cyke looks great!


Thank you. Are the wings articulated? Trying to find a review but no luck.

Yup, metal wires.

Yes! Looking great! How did you secure Angel's wings. Mine are a horror show from behind.

Thanks! Had to cut the back uniform into a flap, like this \_/ (but upside down). Once the wings were coming out the sides of the flap I just super glued the top of the flap back onto the uniform.

Thanks to TheRiddler32?'s tips on his Rogue my custom Rogue is mostly done, just need boots and the long gloves to go up her sleeves. Will probably get a stand for her to "fly" on. Rogue, Gambit, and Jean are still WIPs and apparently the new Juggernaut is on the way.
