Kotobukiya X-Men ARTFX+ Statues Announced!
NYCC 2014 Kotobukiya X-Men ARTFX+ Statues Announced!
Quote:
This summer Kotobukiya began teasing Marvel collectors about their next line of Marvel NOW! ARTFX+ statues that would be following up the hit Avengers ARTFX+ series. Once Kotobukiya declared the series would be of another ultra-popular Marvel superhero team, it didn’t take a genius to guess who Kotobukiya was talking about, but today Kotobukiya announced it officially at NYCC 2014: the Kotobukiya X-Men ARTFX+ statues series will begin in 2015!
A placard revealing the whole lineup was on display in the NYCC 2014 Kotobukiya booth, and at the heavily-attended New York Comic Con 2014 Kotobukiya panel on Thursday night, Kotobukiya confirmed that they had selected a “dream team” lineup (that’s never actually existed) for the series.
The seven X-Men Kotobukiya statues released over the course of 2015-2016 will be:
–Cyclops
–Wolverine
–Beast
–Emma Frost
–Rogue
–Magik
–Magneto
This is obviously not a lineup that we would ever see after X-Men: Schism (what with Wolverine and Cyclops being as likely as kill each other as look at each other these days), but it’s a great lineup nonetheless. I know many people will be bummed that favorites like Gambit and Nightcrawler are absent, but I’m shocked and overjoyed to see deserving New Mutants alumni Magik included. Thanks, Kotobukiya!

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

Awesome! Overall, it looks like the team will look pretty good. Ideally, Cyclops's pose will be altered. It doesn't really suit him IMO. I am pretty excited to get a Magik statue. I didn't really see that coming.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
