On board with your entire list, but wasn't there a brain-skinned guy from Gene Nation too? Love Uncanny X-Men 325 also!

Yes, and I love that description, “brain-skinned”
I think there was him and one other guy but I don’t think they got much exposure and don’t know their names so I wasn’t so fussed about having them although if the sculpts were based off the Madureira art then they’d all look great as figures

I believe you’re thinking of Ever, who had brain matter encompassing much (or possibly all) of his body. He was a powerful psionic. I believe he had a figure in the old Toybiz 5” line.
Can’t totally blame anyone for not remembering their names. Much of the original Gene Nation’s code names didn’t make any sense, like the writers picked words at random.

Would be interesting to see if they pursue other Madureira-heavy looks like Rogue in her pink/yellow space suit and Gambit in his grey/blue spacesuit. Both had figures from ToyBiz, and you know Hasbro wouldn't mind another Rogue/Gambit 2pk to capitalize off of either. I believe there was another Madureira-specific Bishop that was bald as well, but it was his Onslaught look rather than the space suit as I recall.

I had forgotten about armored Callisto, but she did show up armored as well when she and Marrow popped up during Zero Tolerance. We really do need a ZT specific humanoid Bastion and some cyborg ZT Sentinels, the Haslab ones were a nice touch, but I'd prefer a Hellfire Goon-style release where you can army build them, maybe with just a different head/hands rather than any weapons since they didn't need firearms to function.

When the ML team gets to the Morrison/Quitely New X-Men costumes, I'm gonna need this gem of a character from Joe Casey's Uncanny X-Men run:

Is this where I can put in the request for a Raza Longknife/Hepzibah 2pk?

I have but one set of characters that I don't ever expect to see but which would make an awesome box set...

..the New Mutants graduation costumes!


The only thing I'd change is ditching the pink domino masks some of them have but Doug's keeping the Cyke visor and Sam the Sci-Fi helmet. Warlock can be the build-a-figure.

That would be the monkey's paw version of my "I really wish they'd give us a New Mutants box set".

I Art Adams.

To everyone's surprise, I'd take Magik's graduation costume.

Should the figures have crazy stilt legs like Sam and Dani in that image? Like the proportions are egregious there.

You best not be disrespecting Art Adams, buddy!

Art Adams has done some great work... that splash page looks like Art let Rob Liefeld pinch hit for him. Bad art is bad art even of its done by a great artist.

IDK how I missed this thread but Pixie, Hellion, Armor, Rasputin IV, Synch, Skin, Gentle, Monet/Penance (House of X era), Psylocke (80s), and Rogue (Uncanny Avengers vol. 1) are my top 10 X-Wants right now. Besides the Morrison NXM looks. There are very few X-Men I wouldn't buy.
