have wolverine, will order magneto - the rest i think may be a pass

im still on the fence with x-23, i think its a bad ass piece but with prices where they are i think i may just have to focus on villains

still looking for a cyclops and beast though, might be down for those unless theres a psylocke situation...

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I'd reverse that and say her new head is too small for her body. Her body is flawless, but she is now a total butherface.

Poor Betsy. Big plus for my purse though.

My Scorecard



1) Wolverine 9/10
2) X23 9/10
3) Rogue 8/10
4) Magneto 8/10
5) Psylocke 6/10
6) Mystique 7/10
7) Emma 7/10

Some thoughts:

Magneto: Honestly a really good effort. The EX is okay but not needed.

Psylocke: Went from a buy to a pass. I am not a fan of the portrait change at all.

Rouge: Again good effort but for me the EX is not needed. For some reason that hair (on the EX) does not translate well to the portrait.

X-23: Probably going to end up the best piece in the group. It was nothing short of spectacular at SDCC. If they add a knockout EX it will probably move to a 10.

Wolverine: Probably all the Wolverine my collection needs. Just a awesome piece and a must have EX (IMHO). Mine is flawless.

I think moving forward, we won't see much of the tiger stripe outfit anymore. Especially, with Wolverine coming back to the books and sporting a different outfit. The blue/yellow is my favorite as well, but I am happy with the OG PF.

I think the upturned hair on X-23 looks terrible, and the costume is lame.

Psylocke’s original face didn’t look Asian at all but this one isn’t much better either.

First the base, now the face. Yes, I hate both enough to rate her a 4.

But, to be fair, I did say if she had a good environment base that was cohesive with the other X-Men and the SDCC portrait, she'd be a 10/10.

This is a great example of how a few bad design choices can take a statue from a must-have to an absolute pass.

My Scorecard-:
I am just going to put them in order from favorite to least favorite.
Also, I am going to stick with just female pieces.

Elektra (by far, the best design)
X-23 (great, all around)
Mystique (this one has been growing on me. Really love her movement.)
Emma
Psylocke
Rogue (personally, I am just over this character.)
