X-Men '97

Welp...I'll definitely be in for the Cyke/Marvel Girl two pack! Probably the Wolverine/Storm set too.

Emma looks sensational. Glad this version is being made available. I have the Hellfire box set version, but that one is unnecessarily too tall.
 
I really wish all these figure came with either a swappable "comic" head, or just swappable hair that isn't animated looking.
 
Disappointed in the costume choice for Jubilee, but expected. Might still get it for the head. Cable is good enough for the ‘92 display and the same is true of Logan. Wasn’t planning on Emma, but she does look good. The Gambit/Rogue two-pack is the kind of cheeky thing I like, but that ab crunch on Gambit is hideous.
 
I'm bummed Roberto isn't in his jacket - now I feel like we'll never get that look. I accept this Jubilee for now ON THE CONDITION that we get her classic 90s look updated with a better head and pinless on a Target Retro card sometime next year. :)

Wish Roberto had alt black hands but I'm guessing we'll get a re-deco sometime next year/S2 with him powered up.

Everyone else looks so frickin' good. Jubilee finally has new - and good! - power effects, Roberto got some new effects, I LOVE Emma's hair-flowing alt head

I question those Storm headsculpts and I'm super curious why the three two-packs got Pulse-exclusived. They are X-Men headline characters - why are they not at retail with the wave?

All of the new headsculpts are tempting (barring Storm) but especially Rogue - they fixed the hair and I hope her whole head is bigger than the original since that one is pretty small.

Hoping Deluxe Bastion is still coming - he'd be a fun one to slip into the case by the end of the weekend since he masterminded the whole diorama.

That's one ugly ab crunch! Almost like it was never meant to be shown without a shirt. They should have made one for him.
 
I think they all look pretty darn good. Definitely picking up the wave and at least the Storm 2-pack. Definitely an ugly ab crunch on Gambit; I can see a bunch of folks making/buying a crop top to go over it. Still holding out hope for an eventual Bastion, but I like the look of everything so far.
 
That ab crunch is the worst design choice I've seen them make in a long time.

I mean, I'm kind of over ab crunches in general, but jesus christ that's bad
 
I'm just getting into this thread and took a quick look at the pics.
Did anyone already ask if gambit was a SLU? It's possible?

Not my photo. Might pull out a figure later.
 
Yep. They are reusing the NBA figures which lost the company ungodly amounts of money.

Bold choice. That ab join was also meant to be concealed.
