I see no reason why not both we have seen it often before

Although nice to be a round number I cant seeing it being more than 200 for all three. I mean you are talking 3 Gods versus 3 robots
And they dont qualify for any of teh real point bloating powers (Incap, IMP/INV or HSS) I expect all to be in the 50-70 point range. If they are 100 pointers they are either overcosted or too good

Thats just Volstagg the others are not comedic relief maybe jobbers....and even then in Thor you are talking about jobbing to other gods or higher level beings
The Reavres lose to the Xmen and Sentinels

I assume they were moved AFTER the poster was created and thus not in...but apparently the Horseman always were in
At some point in the rumours and speculations, Wizkids is going to have to commit to the set list. The poster is one such juncture. The fact that we don't see this duo on the set list means either a) they abandoned this figure and it won't be in the set, or b) they plan on distributing it through other means, such as the Super Boosters.
"Some say the glass is half empty, some say it's half full. But I say ...are you going to drink that?"
...which doesn't explain where the Wolvie/Colossus duo fits in.
P.S. Does anybody else feel they've been making this up as they go along?
It an excellent point. My take on it:
Much as they made solicitations based on the earlier plans, so too was this poster. We've been told before that there were 58 more standard-sized clix, and I think that 55-58 are those "iconic X-Men Duos" which were moved from the Super Boosters into the regular ones, so they'll all be SRs.
At the stage when this poster was created they were trying to keep the contents of the Super Boosters, as they were planned at the time, mostly secret.

I would concur. I wouldn't have minded a few other figures, but hopefully with this correcting the X-Men lack in most recent sets (except for WoS and M&M of course)... we can get back to a bit of balance.
I, personally, would have liked to see a few cosmic figures, or even cosmic figures themed with the X-Men. Gladiator anyone?

I only read maybe 1 appearance of the Warriors Three, so I can't speak to their abilities but I've read all of the original Reavers appearances up to Skull's death. I could see Bonebreaker at around 100 pts but I see Skull-buster and Pretty Boy at 80 pts tops. Maybe they'll be 300 with 3 Hellfire guards to represent Macon, Reese, and Cole.

Pity we didn't get Reaver generics, to represent Macon, Cole, and Reese (as well as the countless hoard of others, hiding out in the Australian Outback). That would've been sweet.

Yep they are gods and even Aesir to boot (even though they are OC Marvel characters)
Of course we all know Wizkids would never forget a keyword

Justin Has he said all the duos were moved late in production to the boosters. They might be Chase like white Lantern style though so who knows

I really think Dark Knight is incapable of creating anything that does not involve 80's/90's pop culture in some way. It evokes both mirth and nostalgia in me.
