That group shot really shows off Wolverine. So glad I’ll finally be unboxing him tomorrow. Easily the best of this X-men wave. Glad I’m only in for him and Laura. Makes this line much more affordable.

Very disappointed at the moment.

Oh, I'm with you on the EX hair. This is kind of another shady shenanigan if you ask me. She will easily be the most expensive of the ladies, and only comes with a swap o' hair. They might as well get real stingy and put one portrait in the box and two hair pieces.

I do still love the regular portrait though, I think it's gorgeous.

Having the same face is a pretty big bummer.

After looking at the group shot, I think they would been better off having the base be a piece of a sentinel instead of a saw from the danger room... It would of blend in better with the other statues because right now the saw just looks way out of place....

The EX portrait for some reason reminds me of the youngest daughter in family ties...

Out of all the SS X-Men, I think X-23 is the only one I'll be pre-ordering...

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

I am too was hoping for a different portrait. But I can't deny the fact that the EX portrait still looks great in my eyes, though I wish there are more gray areas on her hair like the original PF.

This was definitely a gut punch for me, was most looking forward to this one.

And just like the original PF, the regular on this looks WAY better, so there's no reason to jump on an immediate PO.
Exactly!

Who is Sideshow marketing all these exclusive to!! Easy pass on that exclusive for Me!

Well Sideshow you've saved me money again, I'll just stick with the Collector's Edition and buy it locally that way I don't have to pay for shipping as well.
