Got a shipping notification for Sinister last night. Just after I got my display reconfigured in a way I like, now I have to try to fit that design into it.

Same. I’m excited for Sinister and very curious about his cape’s material.

Got Sinister in tonight. He spent all day in a frigid truck so I'm not ready to put him through the motions yet. I did open everything to make sure all was accounted for and that there were no issues. I attempted to assemble his cape, but didn't get far. The cape is basically four pieces: two left, two right. They're glued together where the strands go into the figure so you're only inserting two parts. It feels like it's made out of ABS so it's very firm, rigid, and unforgiving. The part for the left side went in okay, but I couldn't get the right side in. I don't want to force it while everything is still pretty cold so I'll set aside for tomorrow.

The figure itself seems fine. The paint job is excellent, as usual, but one thing I didn't notice in the solicitation images is that he has single-jointed elbows. Not a huge deal, but I'd prefer the double-jointed ones we've been getting ever since Cyclops. I also wish he had a more 92 inspired portrait. This guy is pretty much all 97. It's subtle, but the face is a little different between the two.
 
Mine is coming tomorrow. Excited for him, but at least a little bummed if all the portraits are ‘97 style. Don’t get me wrong — I love the shows and bought all the ML figures — but Mondo is expensive and this is likely the only shot at an animated Sinister figure.

I feel like the eye flare portrait is the most 92. Maybe because of the mouth shape. The slightly taller hair is a bit more 97, but it's subtle and it's not as if the original show wasn't all over the place at times. Really curious for those who get this figure if anyone can get the cape to sit just a little lower than what I have it here. You can see the notch visible over the figure's right shoulder and I'd love to get it all the way in, but I'm loathe to put more force into it.

I preordered knock off Storm

He's supposed to come with a lot: lab coat, extra arms, Howard the Duck shirt, multiple heads, hands, backpack, attachments for the backpack, odds and ends. With shipping and a tariff fee he might be past $350 when all is said and done. Hopefully it's a timed edition and not a limited one.
 
I'm likely passing on Beast, mostly because I don't have room, his shoulders look gigantic and he just looks top heavy like he can't be crouched for long without shelf diving (since he rarely ever stood up straight in the show, this figure seems awkward). I'm torn on Jean, as she looks beautiful; Mondo always does females well (well their 2nd attempt at Rogue's face). I'm thinking I'm probably done with Mondo X-Men unless they do a Colossus based off Season 2 of X-Men or Cable.

Archangel or Psylocke might tempt me, but most of my must haves are already in my collection. It's a shame they can't do these at 1/12th as I'd find a way to get all of them.
 
For what it's worth, Mondo is claiming Beast can get into crouches. I guess we'll see. They'll probably demo him on an episode of Toy Talk this week (usually Thursday). I know they already have factory samples based on a prior stream.
 
Beast will be going up for sale a week from tomorrow. Mondo has the gallery up and there's only one semi-crouch pose so I'm starting to doubt he can get into that crouch we all want. He'll be $255 (cheaper than Sinister, at least) and limited to 1,500 units. No indication right now what would be cut for the standard edition. Cute shout out to showrunner Eric Lewald with the title of the book.

It will be pretty incredible to have at least the core team.

I wonder who’s coming next after Jean? Cable, Morph, Bishop, or a version of Xavier?

I could also see Mystique. Apocalypse would be too big I think. And after them, it starts to be characters who weren’t in the show too much.

(Although they did do Omega Red, who wasn’t really that big a presence in the show.)

Actually, maybe they do Sauron as like an SDCC figure. There’s precedence for that with Man-Bat.
