One A Day 2.0: Day #265 Guest Starring Billium3 - Looter/Meteor Man

[Beamish]

Day #264 - Adam X/X-Treme

Would I buy? Instant purchase
Which version? Pure 90s goodness. He MUST have a head with a backwards hat or don't bother

So ridiculous. So necessary.

 

[Thor-El]

Ironically, he's so over-the-top that I'd actually be inclined to pick him up, for the Summers brother (and Neramani) connection, if not the sheer ridiculous novelty.

 

[PantherCult]

Adam X is such an 'of his time' creation bu I would buy the figure in a heartbeat. Everyone was so convinced he was the third Summers Brother... and I guess eventually he is a sort of Summers brother, at least genetically - space test tube baby for the win!

 

[Reno]

Yes, I'd buy - but not a priority wishlist guy.

 

[TheGillMan]

Pass on Barracuda...but I'm so glad @AceofKnaves made that joke so I didn't have to!

Pass on Adam X.

 

[BasilElks]

X-Treme would be cool to get, and in a 2pack with Legacy, so we can recreate pic 2.

 

[CTV]

Pass. This character is an abomination.

 

[TFitz]

Like others said, he is SO a character of his time. Having said that, I'd get him in an instant.

 

[TFitz]

Pass. This character is an abomination.

So much so that his creator is probably embarressed by him. I'd still flop my $30 on him as soon as he went on pre-order.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Mmmmmaybe, for comedy?

 

[DarthDre758]

I'd get him for the X-Force thing.

 

[PantherCult]

So much so that his creator is probably embarressed by him. I'd still flop my $30 on him as soon as he went on pre-order.

Nah, Fabian isn't embarrassed. The figure design was editorial driven - the Summers brother-ness was his attempt at a Claremont-style dangling mystery.. He has a sense of humor about it, but embarrassed isn't the word.

 

[tasmaniantwister]

Definitely not a priority but I do have the Toybiz figure, so likely a pick-up.

 

[fingfangfoom]

Barracuda would be cool to get, if only for a new buck for those chunky big guys. The Russian could go on the same buck.
Adam X is in no way urgent for me, but I'd pick him up for the X shelf because he's so 90s goofy. Blades instead of pouches

 

[DetectiveHoag]

I remember all the hype surrounding the mystery “3rd Summers brother”, and how Adam was a possible candidate. What struck me at the time, was when Sinister “slipped” and said “brothers”, he never indicated that he meant there were only three Summers brothers. There could have been four or five. Everyone just assumed there were only three.
Anyways, would I take Adam-X, The Xtreme? Not a pressing need, but I’d probably get him at some point.
