X-Men Gold was tuh-herrible, but Matthew Rosenberg's run was even worse and happened around the same time so I think he takes the brunt of criticism that era gets.

Yes to Synch, I need Generation X and Krakoan X-Men versions

The braided head's likeness is way better than the long hair head.

First mistake was buying a Logan Paul figure.

Tokens always get spent. As a Black American I can admit that I do giggle when white-aspiring people of color get reminded that white supremacy has no love for them.

I downloaded Ghost of Yotei last night and I'm having fun with it so far. It reminds me of the Spider-Man games, and I like riding the horse (lol). I'm not a big gamer so I haven't played any other games it may be reminiscent of; I usually only play Marvel/DC games + WWE 2K.

United States of Tara fans, unite! She's one of my favorite actresses; she's so good in everything. I hate that she's been treated so poorly by the loudest, most annoying, most ignorant parts of this fandom. She became a pariah for saying film critics are overwhelmingly white and male, which is...

I love seeing Brie Larson do stuff like this. She's gotten such a raw deal.

This is where I always circle back to "because he's nuts." If you asked him, he'd probably tell you being Batman is a better option than using his wealth to fund social programs that would eliminate (most of) Gotham's crime, and he'd believe it.

The X-Men also play the No Good Billionaires trope straight. At any given time they're bankrolled by either Xavier or Emma Frost, both of whom are portrayed as deeply morally ambiguous at best.

This is why X-Men is the superior superhero franchise imo!!!!! Except Marvel Editorial's obsession with "persecuted minorities on the brink of genocide" stories for them. The end of Krakoa left a disgusting taste in my mouth because so many people (including creators and Editors) were very...

I think that's the beautiful thing about art; none of our interpretations are right or wrong. The same can be said for that list of creators, since characters like Batman have such expansive lore and nuances beyond the work of one or two creative teams. It's definitely about perspective. To me...

That's what I thought the whole point of the line was, I didn't realize it had a storyline. I ordered the suited dudes to use as goons for ML Kingpin.

Agree, but I'm not a big fan of the super rich white billionaire buys his way into superheroics trope. Batman works (for me) because Batman is clearly nuts. Lex Luthor feels way more realistic than Tony Stark, who gets played too straight as being A Super Cool Guy.

IMO that was one of Marvel's worst stories of the last 20 years. Other than the Phoenix 5 designs being cool (make them pls Hasbro), AvX wasted years of buildup re: Hope Summers' connection to the Phoenix/role as the Mutant Messiah just to shoehorn the Avengers into it, convolute the story, and...

Agreed. I'm tired of Marvel taking everything cool from every other corner of the MU and giving Iron Man a version of it. I'm surprised he hasn't been an avatar of the Phoenix yet but I'm sure that's coming.

I would buy Eye-Boy.

You're so right. I was friends with someone on a Buffy the Vampire Slayer message board who ended up getting a job at DST. He'd give me sneak peeks and let me help design some of the accessories. There's a Giles figure that comes with a "Demons & Dragons" book; I named it! I've tried to look him...

I would love Shi'Ar soldiers for the X-Men to beat up.

I feel like if Jean stans could make it through the Tri-Sentinel Wave Marvel Girl figure, everyone else can make it through anything. It builds character.

Hard agree. The head she came with is a nice update to swap onto 90s Storm though.

Gave Outback Storm heels (from Shiklah, repainted), a wired cape (found on eBay), and a custom head sculpt.

Uncanny Spider-Man?! I'm hype. That was such a good run and I'll take as many Krakoan-era X-figures as possible. Diamond Emma is a must for me too, I just wish it wasn't a Target exclusive. Happy for everyone who's been requesting The Owl and Hypno Hustler for the past 20 years.

Granted, this is not my area of expertise...but are they supposed to do that?

I'd take a Pete, but could probably easily customize one, but don't care enough about him to do that...
