And that Wolverine will be retooled into an AOA Wolverine. I just can’t believe Iceman comes with fists and non-opened hands. How can he simulate using his powers? He doesn’t shoot ice out of his closed fists????? Her costume is silver but shiny black makes more sense in context given her 70’s/80’s look was always black. This was for the Animated series people to shut up, I hope. Though we’re not going to stop hearing about Morph now. I’m cool with an AOA Wolverine if they bother giving us the rest of the cast. They always leave out something for Iceman. It’s nice to see a bit of an ice slide though. He should have been a riders series or like Archangel though. Quote
SuperDimensionalDave Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I’d maybe give them a pass for the exclusion of opened hands on Iceman if the “ice slide” looked more like, well... and ice slide. What we’re getting looks more like a base for him to stand on due to its diminutive size. Don’t get me wrong I’m all over these like a fat kid on a cupcake but taking into account that these retro releases have no BAF part the accessories and or extra heads/parts are supposed to make up for that. I’m not seein’ it with this wave. Likely due to the fact that Hasbro knows were all giddy for most of these figures and or just anything X-Men right now and we’ll just buy them anyway. They’re probably right. Quote
Golden Arms Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Well said guys. I was really hoping storms costume was going to be black. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 Ordered a case of 6 to keep MISB and a set of 6 individually to open from Dorkside. I think my Iceman open hands from the All New X-Men set might fit on Vintage Iceman. Quote
Mommar Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I just realized depending on what iteration of the original X-Factor team you’re thinking of the release of both Cyke and Iceman in the classics line means only Marvel Girl is missing from that lineup. The iteration of the team just after The Fall of the Mutants and through Inferno had beast finally turning blue, angel was now Archangel, Cyke in the Blue and White but still with the full cowl over the head and Iceman looking like he always does except he had some ludicrously oversized belt at that time.

no3Ljm Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Sorry for a noob question regarding this line. Is the Vintage line using the latest ML body or it’s more of a reissue thing? I’m kind of interested on Storm and Iceman for the sake of getting it to be a part of my Jim Lee X-Men. Quote

I’m kind of interested on Storm and Iceman for the sake of getting it to be a part of my Jim Lee X-Men. Iceman is using one of the newer bodies, yes. They’re only “Vintage” in the sense they resemble the original Toybiz releases in deco and packaging. The figures themselves are modern. Though I wouldn’t recommend that Storm if you want anything resembling Jim Lee. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Posted June 9, 2019 I’ll get another Storm with my rewards and paint her costume. I’ll try this setup with the one coming out. Quote
Golden Arms Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Such a great time to be a X-men fan. Just wish they would go back to the MS Marvel buck for some of the female characters. I want them to do the hellfire club and Marauders. Quote
Mommar Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 But when are Colossus and Juggernaut finally going up for pre-order? Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Is that different from the Walgreens Agent Venom? Edit: nevermind that's Agent Anti Venom lol Edited June 13, 2019 by Valkyrie23 Quote

sh9000 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Posted June 13, 2019 Ordered another Vintage Storm to make Gold Team Storm. Quote
Mommar Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I don't like that both of the heads have the red smoke coming off of them. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 With a little work hopefully I can remove the pieces and reuse them on my other ML Cyclops figures. Quote

sh9000 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 It might be just a quick pull or cut with a blade. I’ll see if any customizer tries it first. My shirt for today. Quote

Mommar Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 If only, Hasbro. Suit details are semi-correct but proportions were goofy as hell and wrong cannons/placement. Though these guys didn’t get it right either, the cannons should be wide enough to flank both sides of the helmet. From the side stowed it almost looks like two separate cannons per shoulder (based on the assemble scene.) Come on SHF give us a $120 monster of an Iron Patriot! Quote
sh9000 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 Maybe that’s the only production art they had of War Machine during that time. Iceman. Custom animated Beast head. Custom comic Beast head. Quote
Mommar Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I like that comic beast head! Where did you find that??? Quote

Mommar Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Boy, Korg and Jeff Goldblum look great. I'm still impatiently waiting for Colossus to go up for pre-order. I need him for my Gold Team and my X-Men Arcade lineup. Edited June 16, 2019 by Mommar Quote
