I can't help but hear his voice monologuing when I look at this picture.
That X-Men cartoon really did perma-cast certain characters for me.
Anyhow, this figure looks wonderful and a great center for the display. I've yet to unbox my vintage card Apocalypse (I'm a slow opener, you see.) But now I'm going to go on some long walks to determine whether I should go with the VC or PO this new guy. The scale is really something, and I really really regret passing on the '97 Sentinel. Fingers crossed Hasbro has a couple extra in stock when they arrive.
Might not want to make that mistake again with Apocalypse.
Agreed, Misfit, their care for X-Men '97 is fantastic. I don't have many from the line, since I also collect MAFEX and I'm kind of a one figure per character per costume collector. But the quality seems to be a cut above the average Legend. The recent Emma Frost, while simple enough, is beautifully matte, has great head sculpts, and poses beyond what I need from Emma (though I might try to pop and dremel the waist to get a bit more bend)
I did hear a rumor that MAFEX has Sabertooth on their to-do short list. He's likely to be a win, but may not be quite as bulky as the animated version.
