Agreed. It baffles me that after all this time they couldn't give us a decent unmasked Logan head.
Wish Beast came with a non-screamy head. And ugh, I so do not want that Wolverine, or any Wolverine. Causes me mental and physical anguish to have to by him to finish any wave.

No, they are glued into the peg hole. So no movement.

It's the same buck they used on the Psylocke figure. It's legs are much more "shapely" than the Kate Bishop buck, but it does indeed suffer from that gap issue. From the looks of it this buck is meant to be the new "thicker" buck to replace the terribly offensive Moonstone buck with all it's curves and angles and stuffstickingout and such. Eeewh!
As far as the wave, it is by far the best X-Wave ever, with representations from several eras, different incarnations of the teams and some lesser utilized, yet awesome villains. Caliban being the only let down, but only because it was the BAF. If it had been a single card it wouldn'ta been such a hard pill to swallow, but just seems like the BAF coulda/shoulda beenso much better, and not necessarily a large one like Nimrod, Strong Guy or Warpath, butmaybe evenjust astandardsized onethat required a specific sculpt like Wolfsbane or Feral.
Either way, the weakness of the BAF is negated by the fact that I woulda purchased the entire wave anyway regardless of the BAF. Now, if we can just figure out where that damn Wendigo figure is gonna land. My guess is it's gonna end up as some Fans Club exclusive packed with the repainted/redeco versions of the same Hulk and Wolverine that they'll be releasing in the 80 years line.

The unhelmeted head looks cool, but it definitely sits funny on the body. I think it is because the peg hole is so far up under the hair. The Skullbuster was actually kind of a let down for me. The only new parts are the best and head. Would make a super easy Uncanny X-Force custom fodder figure though.
Thankful for this review...the dude has ALOT of energy and excitement! Can't wait can't wait can't wait!
