But fret not...because like 90% of Xmen fans will be thrilled with what XM has in store and coming soon. Let the good times roll with only a slight pinch of confusion.
Do not even tell me this mean Rogue is coming but she is like the most exclusive of exclusives.

Nah...it couldn't possibly be that. XM aren't stupid enough to make a major character in a line that people are collecting an exclusive that half of us can't get. Surely not?

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, Captoz.

Because yes, yes I can see XM doing just that. Cable, Weapon X, and Dark Phoenix come straight to mind.

I was! But sort of. You see, to me anyway, Dark Phoenix and Weapon X are point in time representations of those characters and also don’t represent them during their peak X-Men membership periods. In other words, we have a green Phoenix for collectors of the team and basically a choice of Wolvies that are closer to the way he looked as a team member than the Weapon X statue. Cable, whilst he has been a member of the X-men at certain points, is just as notorious as a stand alone character.

Rogue, on the other hand, is a core X-man and if I don’t have the opportunity to buy her because she is a rare or online ex, then that will be a hole in my XM X-Men team. I feel like that would prejudice my desire to own the others in the team. It would be a gaping hole for me.

So, in short, if this is the plan, then like they did with Spidey, I think XM should rethink it. Others may disagree, I guess. Just how I feel.

I would be more thrilled if XM can get a world license for all their statues. No more jumping through hoops to get them.

Won't happen until Marvel/DC stop giving SS exclusive 1/4 scale licenses.

I haven't heard anything about 2018 exclusives yet. Too early to worry.

Nope, no hint yet.

...And the people that are "in the know" can't share.
