I'd be all for that, except they didn't do a good job replicating the colors.





Wolverine and Jubilee didn't sport the same shade of yellow. Cyclops' costume and Beast's fur wasn't the exact same shade of blue either.

I get that the shades looked different in the cartoon due to the lighting, but these statues look too washed out, like they're all standing under immense bright light.

It's not just that the colors aren't series-accurate. To me, they look downright ugly.

I'll admit that the face sculpts look superb.

I was ecstatic when this line was announced and pre-ordered everything. But now, I'm on the fence. I'll wait to see how these come out in person before making the final call.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Nobody ever gets the colors spot on for her. The pink is always too pale, the blue isn't true enough, and the yellow is isn't lemony enough. That being said though, I'm ok with the Koto colors on this one, it's way better than some things I've seen for her.

I haven't seen any other X-Men 92 merch, but I have no trouble believing that Koto did it better than others. However, I expect Koto to be accurate, not simply less wrong than others. (The blue is the worst offender here. It's almost a dealbreaker for me.)

Usually, Koto's paint jobs in the ArtFX+ lines are so spectacular and faithful it's uncanny
Which is why it's ironic they dropped the ball in this case.

Storm and Bishop next


I wasn't expecting Bishop so I think we will get Psylocke now too.

Who do you think the other pairs will be?
- Gambit and Rogue
- Psylocke and Nightcrawler

I was betting on Jean coming with Storm so I wonder who Jean will come with now... maybe Phoenix?

Definitely was not expecting Bishop with Storm, or at all. I still don't think we get Iceman or Psylocke because they were only in an episode or two if I recall right. I thought we'd get Rogue/Gambit, Jean/Storm, Nightcrawler/Colossus, Cable/Bishop. Would be cool to see Apocalypse/Archangel for Villains. I'm really looking forward to the villains.

Storm looks awful. These are starting to look like Happy Meal toys to me, so I believe I will be cancelling my orders from BBTS.
