Everyone gets all up in arms over that comment? It's just a saying to buffer the blow of the announcement and instead of pining over X-men...realize it opens up lots of options for other characters non-mutant related. I like X-Men too.

Just not as much as Avengers and other select characters. I'd take a Moon Knight over any X-men EXCEPT Colossus any day.

Yeah no Colossus...that sucks!

No Gladiator either...my fourth favorite comic character.

Crazy because I'm more bummed about no Fantastic Four characters or related enemies. No Doom, no Galactus, no Silver Surfer, no Firelord, no Nova, no Terrax....sigh....I wonder who else is excluded from the list?

[loricstone]

Is there a list of characters that XM can put up here that cannot be done? It would give us a great idea of who is off the list so we won't get our hopes up.

Bryan...is that a possibility??

We already know all mutants are off the board...but what about characters related to F4?

Yeah, that's a heavy tax to pay, especially for villains.
Doom is the best Marvel character bar none, to me. To see him fade into nothingness is just a shame.
Galactus is another relevant villain that would have worked for a 1:6 diorama given his size.
Dark Phoenix is out of question too, of course.
Ultron is good to go eventually but he doesn't have the magnitude of many other Marvel villains. Same goes for Loki.
Basically, the only heavy hitter villain by XM right now would be Thanos.

I kinda doubt the Fantasitc Four included exclusivity to Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

Have you ranked all your favorites? Maybe not in a post, since it would be too long, but I'm interested in seeing that... You seem to like almost everyone. I think I'm much more selective.

Is Black Bolt and Medusa kiboshed also since they were in the FF story lines?

I was going to pass on yellow Wolverine to wait for the Brown version since that's my preferred version but something told me to get while the getting was good. Apparently I made the right call.

There is an article on Bleeding Cool from May 30th, 2014 called "Artists Given Specific Instructions Not To Use Fantastic Four Characters" that I think would apply.

This was an instruction sheet issued out to sketch card artists:

Inhumans are safe. Disney has been pushing A LOT the Inhumans since last summer to have them replace the X Men, see the various Inhumans and Inhumanity series, and the movie planned.

Yup, in hindsight, you made the right choice.
I have no interest in the yellow costume so it was never an option to me, I'm only looking for a brown Wolvie with possibly an oriental themed base, even if I have to wait years.
