Hot Toys - MMS - X-MEN First Class - Professor X (Charles Xavier)

[Mad Old Lu]

That's something that bothered me. I loved how in the comics they used a traditional wheelchair. Something about that made the whole X-Men world feel more realistic and grounded.

Really, what is the need for him to have fancy spokes? It kinda bothered me in the other X-Men movies, but I was willing to overlook it since it was futuristic I suppose. But in the 60s?

Better than this

I would never buy a figure of Professor X from Hot Toys unless they used the likeness of Patrick Stewart or they included both a young and old (old meaning Patrick) version head sculpt.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Ugh!

That was the early 90s, wasn't it? I think that was around the time I started loosing interest.

Well they had the Patrick Stewart chair at the end of XMFC.
Why would they change it??

BEcuase fox loves screwing up the continuity between these films?

I'm willing to overlook that, Because Jim lee, and i was a kid. that's the x-men i grew up with.

Besides, he was the concubine of an alien princess, so why not get some freaky sci-fi tech in his chair?

It a cool chair just not for a movie

Is there any particular reason the photos on Page One no longer come up?

Surely it could only be that however was hosting them has removed them from their site.

As much as it pains me to think, this line has probably been cancelled

Multiple figures that weren't ready when this was have gone up for order and this still hasn't.

Take the most recent for example

1. AVP was announced after this and has come first
2. AVP Scar wasn't ready at Ani-Com but has come first.
3. All recent Predators are all hanging around in-stock, so it can't be about sales.
4. The film is older so has no 'capitalising on hype' figure queue jumping

So there's no reason for that to have gone up for order first unless this has been cancelled & it can't be about sales or popularity since Predators aren't selling out.

If it has that makes it 2 for 2 on licenses announced and cancelled before a singe figure has been made. And 2 for 2 on licenses i was looking forward to getting cancelled.

Just because its older doesnt mean anything (looking at you Keaton).

They might be playing it smart and waiting for trailers for the next film.

Hot Toys is just slow. Took them over 30 years to put out a Reeve Superman doll.

By older i meant that it's not a release thats hyping because it's recent like TDKR. They often push a new big movie figures before established ones simply because it's freshest, AVP doesn't have that.

The next film is not until 2014. It'd be smarter to make these now (or sooner) and then make versions for that film too. And besides if they were using that tactic then they should've skipped Iron Man and Thor as they've got new movies coming out in 2013

Maybe it's the photo, but it might look like the sculpt is getting worse

 

[plasmid303]

I can't imagine putting this figure in any other pose.

 

[RIDDICK]

Same old lame sculpt.

Needs more pics & angles to know

Yeah, but it's not too impressive in that shot, well the sculpt anyway. The outfit is still nice.

It's the same sculpt. Just different lighting.
