See, I was happy they gave us 90s Toad. That's exactly the version I wanted. I have zero affinity for the 60s stories. Here are the figures that disappointed me: Avalanche (retro wave): what happened? Cannonball (Wendigo wave): I get that they had to make hard choices with costs on this...

I'm excited to see more Senyaka love recently!

X-Men Red was actually pretty solid. Gold and Blue were... not, though I remember thinking better of Blue after they briefly replaced the O5 with a bunch of oddball characters, like Bloodstorm. Green came a bit later, and was an "Infinity" comic, but it was (like pretty much every Infinity comic...

You all are right. Apparently this morning I was blanking on almost the entire history of Rachel Summers. Minor objection withdrawn.

Oh, you're right. I completely forgot about those. Woof, yeah, that X-Men Gold felt incredibly aimless, especially for a run where the author went so far as to say it was basically an homage to the classic Claremont era.

I agree with all this, but--to be fair--the bisexual thing had already been explored with Betsy prior to returning to her original body. In the second Uncanny X-Force run (which is pretty under-rated, in my opinion), she had explored a relationship with Cluster. After Fantomex was split into...

I almost added a Dark Riders box set to my post too! I ended up not, because I didn't want to muddle tallying, but I'd love to see Gauntlet and Tusk, at the very least, and wouldn't argue about Foxbat, Barrage, or even Deadbolt.

I'd love to see Betsy revisit that outfit in the comics. Frankly, I'd love to just see her return as Psylocke. I love Kwannon, and am excited that she's getting a lot of page time, but I never bought the idea that after having Betsy living in her body for so long, the first thing she would want...

It's been great watching Magik finally get her time in the sun, even if I kinda hate the giant anime sword, and harbour a fair amount of disappointment they decided to ignore all the set-up and character development they left her with at the end of Fall of X. She's a deep character, and really...

It may not seem like it, but it was a decade ago. The Walgreens release was 2018, which is still pushing a decade, but it was basically a rerelease of part of the SDCC exclusive, which was from 2015.

Keep the dream alive.

I believe the diamond form Target Emma Frost still has an unknown preorder date too, right?

Anyone have an extra Kith Marvel Legends MvC Wolverine that they'd trade or sell for not an insane price? I don't mind paying a bit of a mark-up, but $130+ on eBay, for just not being able to take a moment to place an order when they went live feels excessive...

All the characters they were putting out toys for were relatively current. This led to some serious flash-in-the-pan picks, but they had all recently appeared in comics. Many of the more "classic" ones you mentioned hadn't been in a comic for 20 or 30 years at that point. I was a pretty avid...
