Guilia looks great, Stephanie too but I'm already dreading how tall the figure will be considering the parts used. I'm definitely part of the problem, my expectations for Mattel are typically pretty low so i'll get these New Age Outlaws just to get 2 steps closer to a full DX lineup with double...

Yes to Lionheart. I don't care about the character but she'd make a cool-looking figure.

I finished my Joe Hendry custom! Hopefully he gets an official Mattel figure soon.

I have no idea who this is. Pass for me.

I got Nightcrawler from BBTS but now I need to find a clear plastic sword for him rather than the one they gave us. The Hope Sword was always bright white and glowing when Uncanny Spider-Man had it. Edit: this one looks pretty cool, if anyone else wants something more accurate.

I liked X-Men Red from that era. It was the first book (adult) Jean was back in, and even though Tom Taylor wrote her a little Team Mom-ish for my taste and didn't do enough with the cast (I don't remember Namor or Gambit doing anything of note the entire time, but it's been a while) it was way...

This is waaaaay harder than I thought it'd be. 1. Exodus 2. Cassandra Nova (Comic) 3. Titania (MCU) 4. Isca the Unbeaten 5. Calypso 6. Overdrive 7. Whiplash (MCU) 8. Batroc (MCU) 9. Deadly Nightshade 10. Nekra 11. Forearm 12. Wild Side 13. Tempo 14. Valentina (MCU) 15. Sin 16. Vanisher 17...

I really wish Marvel would let...a different sort of person have editorial control of X-Men for a change. I'll never get over the tragedy of Beau DeMayo turning out to be a creep. We could have had it all...they replaced him with a Swiftie...

Rachel dated Korvus during the Annihilation era, and Nightcrawler during X-Men: Gold, which is one of the worst runs I've sat through.

Tri-Sentinel wave Marvel Girl. They kind of made up for it with the X-Men '97 2-pack, but not really, because that's the animated version.

Slixta lol

The original story is essentially magical plastic surgery being used to make Betsy Braddock look Japanese so they could insert her into the Japanese underworld or something. I think the story is that whoever took over writing the book after Claremont misunderstood that, and so created Kwannon...

The solo titles have been the best thing about this current X-Comic era except Jean's, sigh. I'd still buy a figure of the Cosmic Queen Phoenix look though, obv.

The deco is well-done and she has a new upper torso piece but mine is loose, and it's the same head sculpt from 2020. Still, a worthwhile update since it has the updated articulation and looks great next to this Brie, if you have her.

I got Lyra + Sabin + Shelly + Nikki Bella from RSC. I don't think the face sculpt looks that much like her but otherwise the figure is really well-done.
