Marvel Legends X-Men 60th Anniversary Deluxe Blob Figure Available For Pre-Order

I'm so glad the M figure's headscuplt looks better than at first. The team is really nailing 'em these days.

Good find. And on that note it does almost look exactly like the artwork, especially in the face sculpt. My problem with this figure at all is the body mold they chose. Again, they choose the very well done, yet quickly wearing out it's welcome, Shriek mold and painted on the edges of the green bustier part of the figure when they have a perfectly good, but very underused Scarlet Witch mold which they purposely went back and retooled because the legs were too long and the heels didn't allow it to stand properly. Then they went on to use it to redo SW and another version of The Wasp and then it went away again. It's a beautiful body model and it would have been perfect for this. Again, I just question Hasbro's decision making on some (actually many) of these long awaited/anticipated characters. Sure this one has the pinless technology, but damn, in 2023 can they not find an easy way to convert and design the arms and legs of one figure to universally fit on another figure of similar size. Do they literally have to redesign an entire body mold when the go to pinless? I know that's not correct, because I've seen many figures that have both pinned and pinless components to them, especially in the favored child, MCU figures.

And the recent Baron Strucker shows Hasbro can take an existing pinned body and convert it to a pinless body.

Was wondering why the Outback Rogue looked different from what I remember her looking like. I recently came across this picture and now see why the figure looks the way it does. Spot on to J Scott Campbell.

Otherwise I would rather get her red and white modern costume on this body even if I love Gen X.

Not familiar with this character, but a what a beautiful looking face sculpt and cool design overall! She will definitely have a place in my collection!

Good to see IMO Monet's face looks better in these photos then the promo pics were showing, I'm still really excited about this figure, super happy to be building Gen X and in their Original suits at that, I think this figure looks good, I just hope they keep the training rolling and don't stop giving us members, I'm tired of the whole...yeah here's alpha flight but sorry we don't do Marrina.

seeing all of these figures coming out though gets me worried, things have not hit major retailers all year here in Canada, and I'm just really getting worried everything I've pre-ordered is going to release all at once and my wallet is going to implode. Hasbro's current 2023 Distrubution is wacked, really need to fix that.

Shown below via Dan Who? Reviews is an in-hand look at the new Marvel Legends (Ch'od BAF Wave) X-Men Generation X St. Croix figure from Hasbro. The wave with this figure is available from our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth!.

Check out images below in our GALLERY and be sure to share your own thoughts about it in the COMMENTS SECTION.

Hasbro team definitely put a lot of detail into Emmas headsculpt, its a very detail paint job that attempts to capture John Cassidys art but it just doesnt work as well as it should, maybe because its way too detailed for its own good, maybe because Cassidys art isnt exactly close to traditional comic book art, but I definitely prefer older Emma heads that were more simplistic and comic booky, I suppose less is more when it comes to ML headsculpts. I really hope I can kitbash new Emma with older Emma parts, her legs are perfection and should be new gold standard of proportions. Hopefully I can transfer the upper torso of Wolverine wave Emma on that body without much difficulty.

I never bought into the social media outcry (mostly on FB) that this Emma was fugly. Certainly nowhere near Retro Sue Storm levels if the FB posts would have us believe. Nor the Retro Rogue levels. Remember people losing their s*** about that figure? People saw someone upload in-hand pics of that person's figure with the lipstick applied wrong. Turned out it was just a QC issue.

And now these pics make me want to preorder her (instead of waiting to pick up in-store) as I need a second Ms. Frost for my display. She's giving Xtina in these pics.

As far as M is concerned really hoping it's just the angle that's making her head like 1/2 the size of normal Legends heads.
