When is Giant Size X-Men again?

IIRC, mid to late Q1 2011.

These guys look like a lot of fun. Does make me sad that the brick figure is White Lantern Sinestro and not something awesome like The Haunted Tank...

Color me confused.
How would having little Nazi figures be offensive?
Wizards of the Coast have a slew of Axis and Allies products:

Including a whole collectible miniatures game...which I'm pretty sure includes Nazis.

Oh man, the Haunted Tank would have been a great brick figure!

On the one hand, I like the more playable Rock and the minon power on the soldiers. but I call BS on Sgt. Rock just being a repaint of the generic

It looks like you got it backwards there. Considering the sculpt in question, it's more a case of the EC Soldier being a repaint of Sgt. Rock.

The sculpt includes a Thompson machine gun, Rock's signature weapon, as well as Rock's omni-present .30 Cal ammo belts slung over the shoulders.

That said, I am fine with the repaint in this instance.

Fair enough, I'd still rather see different sculpts. Maybe a Rock sculpt based on a Kubert drawing.

Oh, I know. I've been playing Axis & Allies before it even was a CMG. And having Nazis for my JSA and Invaders to beat up certainly wouldn't offend me, but the marketing types tend to be afraid of putting Nazis in stuff that's considered (by the general public) "for kids."

I gotta say that the pose is sorta UNINSPIRED.

I sincerely hope that this is an exception and not the new norm.

We already have a majority of bland "dynamic" flying poses, we don't need bland grounded figs now too.

We don't even get many bases that are more than black crescant thingies now either.

I've seen better sculpts in bags of green plastic toy soldiers like from Toy Story...lol

I disagree, but to each their own.

I like the dials but i'm tired of seeing repaints. That's just the sculptor being lazy.

I've been begging for a Haunted Tank - plus a special rules double-sided map of the House of Mystery/House of Secrets - for about 8 years now. I will not stop clamouring for one even after the game ends!

I want a "WEIRD WAR TALES" box set!

I would completely shell out good money for Creature Commandos. I had hopes with their "New Krypton" appearance but that was "blink and don't miss it" and unlikely to get them any clix.

yeah, dials an stuff...

but man these sculpts are lame (still better than most of WoS, what was wrong with that set anyway)
