Who cares about storm really... where the **** is xavier

You've already had three Xaviers! I just want one Storm!! ;-P

They have said that Xavier should be out after Brad Pitt, I believe. One step at a time though. Their ambition exceeds their capacity by quite a long way.

 

[lordregnis]

They're never coming

 

[TheBatman]

They're trying to beat Hulkbuster record for longest preorder.

Thank you Shane Poole for re-hairing Rogue. Storm cannot come soon enough! Not only will she finalise the core team, the other ladies really need a proper uniform.

 

[lord-22]

great customs !!!!!!

 

[jedijim3002]

That rogue head is very cool. Nice work!

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

^ Great work.

Sigh. Figuremasters delayed Storm to have her X3 hair redone.

Well, that should push Xavier to 2019 now.

Very happy i was able to get a refund on my deposit for Prof. X preorder. It is never coming out. I learned my lesson though. No more unlicensed pre-orders, especially with them. Its sad though. I really want the Interview with a Vampire figures.

It's a shame as they schooled CGL with their magneto.

I'm on the verge of making a professor with a Picard head but I just hate taking stuff off. Adding to sculpts is fine but removing is never smooth.

I'm ok if I don't get any more x men but no Stewart professor is not an option.

 

[Pauln6a]

He had some hair in Logan so he must shave what's left of it. Just pick a time period after he stopped shaving it ;-)

I'm ambivalent. I love Professor but he's the X-men mentor. I want the core team more than I want him but I'll snap him up as soon as he's out.

Rogue custom looks more like Anna from some angles than others. Figuremasters have threatened to produce Rogue but with their back catalogue so full, I'm thinking it's unlikely until 2020 and beyond. I'm happy with my hatchet job for now.

From the Figure Masters Facebook page...
Some new developed head sculpts. We are trying out rooted hair for Beast. The sculpted hair version is our fall back plan if the root hair version doesn't work out right. BTW, don't worry about Storm. Everything for her are ready. We want to refine her sculpted hair piece. The final product of the original one looks too much like a helmet. Although the steel mold for the sculpted hair piece is done, we will not factor in the new mold cost into our selling price. We will eat this cost ourselves.

I'd be happy with the sculpted fur. This looks pretty good. This is going to be years away, isn't it?

Yeah I'm guessing 2020

 

[lordregnis]

I wish I was excited

 

[Pauln6a]

I'm excited! Beast is too complicated to do a kitbash so any prospect of an off the shelf version is welcome even if it takes a while. I could live with sculpted hair though.

They can't get product out. If it was literally any other company, I'd be excited.

Exactly.
While I love the sculpting, I can't get past those mutton chops on Beast. It looks like someone just glued 2 pieces of plastic on the sculpts. I get that this is precisely what they are, but I'm praying this is a basic prototype, and the final product has a smoother transition when this figure is released in the next few years.
