Longshot, but does anyone know where I can grab a headsculpt from the newly released Dr. X figure?
Ive had a headless Xavier custom sitting on my shelf for 2 years, and I always was hoping that Toy Anxiety would break this one down eventually, but it looks like now that they won't.

Is the single figure really that much? I bought the set with Magneto and it was about 380 shipped. Hell of a deal, and I couldn’t be happier with the figures. If you love the Charles character or the films, this is the figure to own.

I think everybody wamts to know where you found it for THAT price...

I made a video about Jean Grey CGL'S head, hope you like it!

The chair looks just like the one CGL released with their Professor X figure.
Does the FM version need any assembly?
The CGL version did that’s why it’s wobbly.

 

[rjszar]

No assembly required.

The WJL/WorldBox Wolverine Origins set arrived yesterday.

I had the original bootleg outfit from Headplay a few years back, but this new one is an improvement. The jacket is a nicer quality material and the jeans are weathered.

Was expecting it to arrive with body and clothes separate, but he was pre-assembled in a comfy foam tray in a proper slip-cased box. Just like a regular figure release, albeit headless.

I used Eleven's sculpt.

Yes.

Both the WJL set and the sculpt were from Kit.

Can we finally get some licenced figures of these characters now that Disney owns them all? Or are they just going to reboot it all and completely forget about them?

I grew up with the original X-Men film and it's what got me into Marvel stuff to start with. I'd hate for them to just be forgotten because of the comic book purists.

Just because Disney owns Fox now doesn’t mean they now have likeness rights they didn’t have before.

I expect to see OG figures come out down the line now that Disney has the rights. I expect to see more wolverine, mystique and Deadpool tbh

Disney may have bought Fox but nothing is finalized yet. May take a few years to transition the licensing. And depends on how stingy Disney reacts. They may just shelve the X-men franchise and pump out their dumb down version.

I think that Hot Toys has never viewed characters from the original trilogy as worth a carrot given that Logan and Deadpool are the only ones they've ever done in 18 years.

If Disney reboots (and personally I'd rather have a soft reboot since most of the X-men have barely been developed. Hot Toys will never go back to the older movies now.

You mean reboot the xmen? Cause they definitely aren’t shelving the xmen.

The heroes you need, are not the heroes we deserve.

Well, don't forget, they actually did a prototype for First Class Xavier, so I think there is interest in the X-Men.

They do finally have many of the classic X-men in the next movie, although rumours of delays do not bode well. If Marvel makes a successful movie then maybe it might jump start something but we got Logan from the Wolverine and nobody from Days of Future Past, which was well received.

I hope Marvel doesn't break stride with the X-men. They could recast if they wanted but the X-men require no origin story, much the same as the Hulk. As long as they don't use characters that have died, without explanation, and cast adults, not children as the core X-men that have featured to date, there are plenty of X villains they could use even if Magneto and Mystique never appeared again.

That said, making Aunt May 'hot' and putting Peter back at school clearly rebooted Spiderman again so it could go either way.

It's not as if the X-men are not as popular as the Avengers. I'm sure Cyclops is as popular as Hawkeye for example. There must be some other reason why they made the choice not to bother.
