Especially given the fact that the hands didn’t have rings on them, I have to believe they were made with a future use for some other character in mind.

Is that only on the MTS site?

I wouldn’t be surprised if you were right. But didn’t Dan hint that maybe there was another version possible? And as far as classic versions go, this one seems pretty inoffensive.

If this is true, then Hasbro isn’t reading the room very well, given how a lot of people already seem skeptical of this subline. I have thought about it, and I would like to see Merged Hulk, Iceman and Archangel in this line. Probably the only ones I would buy. Although they could probably be...

I found five of the reissue Wolverine figures at Target. I wasn’t sure if I needed an extra, even though I really like the figure. I’m glad I did pick up one though because the next time I went there they were gone. I think I’m going to put the unmasked head from the upcoming two-pack on the...

Personally the hands don’t bother me. But historically, I see their point. As for the rest of that costume, I don’t see anything racist there. He just looks like a goofy Silver-Age villain to me. I’m also unclear what you mean regarding the beard.

I don’t get you. I asked a legitimate, non-offensive non-aggressive question. And you felt the need to be unpleasant. After your little lecture on internet negativity.

Thanks for the lack on an answer.

I really like this one. I think I will use this one and the blue-and-grey NML version.

Well, if they know the vitriol heading their way, then they know someone screwed up. So maybe the fans need to behave better, but if they know what’s coming, then I have to assume that Hasbro has done something to earn it.

Is there anything overtly racist about this version, other than the hands? And the hands could easily be replaced by normal hands, with rings.

The new/retro costumes are just an easy and perfectly logical way to sell more figures. If they’re doing different storylines as quickly as they have been, then I expect to see more costume changes.

I’m quite willing to give Mattel a chance. I’m enjoying the MOTU Masterverse/New Eternia figures. I just hope they don’t make it as hard for me to give them my money as Todd does.

I don’t have any problem with the look they chose for Jubilee. She wore it in the cartoon. I’ll be happy to pick one up. I am absolutely skipping any Morrison stuff though. Not a period of the X-Men that I enjoyed.

Another reason they never should have been bone. I think at one point it was some kind of cybernetic deal. I always assumed it was something the group that gave him the adamantium set up when they had him captive. If he had always had the claws, then they would have been thick from the...

I understand they’re here, they are part of Wolverine’s history. But they will never make sense. Thick bone claws will never fit into thin adamantium blades. It didn’t make sense then and it doesn’t now. PAD having passed away recently doesn’t change that.

It’s an easy win. Just don’t say he always had them. If they absolutely had to give him bone claws, then say it was his healing factor’s reaction to having the adamantium ripped out of him. It doesn’t make any less sense than what they went with.

I hope not. Just release the figures individually so someone isn’t forced to buy something they don’t want in order to get something they do want.

This picture shows why I dislike him having bone claws. They are thicker than his adamantium ones, which shouldn’t be possible if his claws were always bone laced with adamantium, the same as the rest of his skeleton.

I ordered Jubilee, Logan, and Emma. And got back-ups on Amazon.

So what is going up for pre-order at 5 o’clock? Just the X-Men 97 figures?

Well, that sucks. I have dinner plans at 5pm. This should be fun.

I’ll be ordering Logan, Emma, and Jubilee. I don’t need Roberto, and the last Cable I bought is good enough for me. I’m also passing on Morph, I’ve just never liked him. Not in the original cartoon, and not now. I hope I can manage to snag a Scott/Jean 2-pack on Pulse when it’s put up for...

Pulse exclusives? Great. I didn’t see that part. Hopefully non-members get a shot at these.

Thanks. He’s a little too tall, but it could have been much worse I guess.
