X-Men '97

I passed on the X Men 97 wave when it came out because I was putting up my "I've got all the X Men I need" front. Then I saw the show and it end up being one of my favorite X Men efforts of all time. TV, movies, or comics. So I needed to play catch up. Thankfully I've got just about all of them now. Wolverine and Rogue, the two that were held hostage on the aftermarket for mercenary prices, were just brought home within the last 3 days. I'm only missing Xcutioner and red Magneto now.

That was me as well. I was fully on the "I don't need these- I have the comic versions, and I'm sure the show will just be okay" train. Boy was I proven wrong! Rogue was the last one I needed, thankfully, so I'm all caught up now, and you'd best believe I won't be making the same mistake with future waves.

X-Cutioner is still pretty plentiful at some of my local LCS. I think he may be priced a few bucks more at 30 or so, but I'd be happy to keep an eye out for you if you're still on the hunt.
 
Same. I didn't need yet another version of the 90s X-Men. But did I end up buying them? Yes.

Why can't I be strong.
 
I got both on a trip to Target Monday. Was about to leave when a nice girl working there had a restock cart - one of each! I really want Wave 3.
 
I found the Savage Land Prof X for $17 on clearance so I nabbed him. I'm uhh... kinda regretting it. When did Prof X take steroids and grow like a foot on height? Cause this new prof X is huge. Like, abnormally large. I'm gonna guess its cause of the body they used but holy crap. I may take him back... this height is ridiculous.

I returned mine too. I can't think of a way I would display him.
 
He fits in the chair. So that's a plus. I'm probably gonna put him in it to help alleviate some of the problem. But it kinds sucks cause I really wanted to display him standing up and keep the suit in the chair.

Don't we supposedly grow a little bit while we're sleeping because gravity isn't pushing us down as much, or something like that? So, in theory, sitting in a chair for a long time would mean he's a little taller when standing. Or he asked Jean to help elongate his spine.

Oh, and he has trigger hands, but no guns. And no open hand like hes using his powers by reaching out. And those elbows when bent...

Finally got around to opening Rogue after a long, tough week, and it really helped lift my spirits a bit. Just so happy to finally have her, and so glad I didn't give in to all the scalpers (there were a few times I was really close). She looks great with the rest of the team!
 
Saw 2 Rogues at Target on Saturday, gone today. Seems like they could keep her in perpetual production and people would gobble her up.

That would make too much sense.

She was around early last week in my area, but she's gone now. Time will tell of they restock. I got mine now I'm just waiting for BBTS to get Gambit in.
 
Well I'll be. Gambit, who has been pushed back a month for the past six months, is processing. I had no reason to believe he would be in this month either so, of course, I shipped three figures last week and I have nothing else coming in until October.

Anyone still in need of Rogue? Figured I'd ask one last time before returning my extra. No worries either way, but I'd love to help out a fellow collector if I can.

I may be interested in the figure if you still have her. I have one but she had fucked up paint on her outfit. I fixed it, but I couldn't get the shade right. So it doesn't look as good. I've been looking for another one (not hardcore), but I've had no success in my attempts. I wanted to see her paint to make sure I didn't get another crooked one before I ended up buying her again. But the lack of seeing any has me a little disconcerted.
