I know that article was off on a few things. If they changed it I wonder if there will be more than 58 from characters getting moved out of super boosters. That would mean the colossal figs are numbered in their own way, since the brick figure is #61. I wonder if #59 and #60 are chases or if they just don't exist. I guess the other possibility is that #55-60 and the super booster figures and the duos either have their own numbering, are chases, or were cut out.

I am curious to see where the super rares start in this though.

Absolutely, it's pretty awful.

Cheetah Beastboy is taking a break. We finally get a pose of what a character is doing after a hit of hypersonic lol.

I can forgive the Hellion sculpts because of the sheer number of great sculpts in the set. Besides the Hellions are wearing the exact same uniforms!! I can't see nothing that would be dynamic unless they added the Death character card hanging over Tarot or visually showed roulette's white and black luck discs. Canonball could be Blasting off I guess, but Cypher and Empath? Yeah Definetly standing there doing nothing as there isn't any physical manifestations for their power. Matter of fact the good mutants that were part of the team were kind of emotionless were'nt they?

Nothing says Hypersonic like a long, comfortable nap!

Don't put spoiler pictures on the front page. That's not nice.

To be fair, when doing a google image search for "Hellions", this is the first thing that comes up.

I could see now how they might've decided sculpt re-use wouldn't be so bad if this was a main reference...

Lol. Just missing the yawning action!

@The moonmonster- Thats exactly where I think the source material comes from. They looked pretty bored in that photo.

Not sure where this came up in the thread but anyway, the Slade vs the X-men in the X-Men/Teen Titian crossover still dealt with a relatively newly formed X-men roster, just after their conflict with the Shiar. So you're still talking about each mainstay X-man now at the beginning of learning their powers and limites (A still teenage Collossus for instance), with Cyclops being the only seasoned vet on the team (and you could say Wolverine, but this is a more berzerker, I don't follow orders well Wolverine). So a trained assassin like Slade at that particular time probably could take out the X-men one by one, with Cyclops and Wolverine being his hardest target.

Now,we talk about today, Storm herself, with all the hand to hand training she's been given probably would give Slade a serious run for his money (She defeated both Black Panther and Cyclops in Worlds Apart, barely mind you, but still with a combo of powers and physical fighting she's not someone to take lightly)

so do you think pheonix will be power cosmic?
or maybe both power cosmic and xmen?

Oh. Thanks. I was wondering what was going on that he could take them out with the relative ease that people were saying. Its good to know the whole story and not just the highlights of what happened.

Speaking of Slade. I wish that Marvel would make another crossover with DC having Slade fighting Mystique. Like :GET MYSTIQUE 2. Dang I would love a book with those 2 in it.

@Killardan- It seems certainly possible she'll get the power cosmic TA. As far as the X-men as well, its possible though she wasn't on the team with that outfit at the time.

I agree. I want to be in the dark about my purchase, especially since we had to turn in preorders already.

How else SHOULD they have sculpted cheetah beast boy though? An action pose for a cheetah is a running pose. The only problem with that is that properly-scaled legs wouldn't be strong enough to support the clix mechanic without breaking. So you'd have another Ragdoll sculpt, and people would just be complaining about THAT instead.

The only reasonable sculpt would have been a cheetah running throughn
/next to a feature to support it, or have he sculpt "at rest", where the legs wouldn't be exposed. I don't much like the sculpt, but i've been playing miniatures games using animal miniatures for enough years to have some understanding of the limitations.

I would've been ok with the cheetah bounding off of a rock. At least make it a pose that implies movement since that's what the gameplay behind the piece is all about.

The thing about Phoenix is, frankly, the color of her costume. IT's WHite, This is a version that's only appeared in comics once, and is almost like a spoiler because it's saying that Jean will be back and in this version of the costume (whatever the 'white' truly means).

So it's not telling what her power level would be for this.

I could almost see this one as being a no brainer for an LE if it didn't already appear to be a super rare (I mean come on, paint her in red and automatically you get Dark Phoenix).

Hell, the fact she now appears in the Marvel/Capcom 3 game is forecasting her return to the comics.

Well Slade also had help, working with Darkseid so (and he got the jump on them when they were preparing for bed, if that counts as well). It wasn't like a straight up fight.
