Hasbro's
Dan Yun has updated clarifying the
X-Men Marvel Legends Nemesis Build-A-Figure Wave will be going up for pre-order sometime next week, not this week as we reported yesterday. He still hasn't given a specific day, but looking at the Entertainment Earth Drop Zone page its looking like the day will be January 9th at 1pm ET.
Thee will be available at places like our sponsors
BigBadToyStore.com and
Entertainment Earth. The wave breaks down as follows:
- Age Of Apocalypse Gambit - This figure includes a staff and alternate hands. It also has a cloak and It has pin-less arms and legs. The figure uses brown and blue colors and a new headsculpt. In some comics it had greens and in some browns, but they went with brown for this figure.
- X-Treme X-Men Wolverine - This figure includes 3 pairs of hands and now BAF piece. He has combat fatigue black pants. Ryan would love to do a X-Treme X-Men Rogue and Storm.
- Acolytes Fabian Cortez - Includes 2 Power Effects for his hands and alternate hands. It also includes the Nemesis Left Leg. The figure has a ponytail and a removable cape. The figure has pin-less arms and legs.
- Generation X Husk - This figure includes two headsculpts, a normal one and one with here skin being torn off her metal face. She also comes with a chunk of flesh and alternate hands so you can make it look like she is ripping the skin off her face. The body is pretty much the same one used with the previous Generation X Monet figure with a few minor updates. The figure also includes the Torso/Head for Nemesis.
- Marrow - This figure is based on her 90s/early 2000 look. Has bones sticking out her back. She has two bone swords and alternate hands. She has pin-less arms and legs. She also has the left arm for Nemesis.
- X-Factor Cyclops (Blue and Yellow) - This figure comes with a new updated optic blast and two headsculpts (One for optic blast and regular one). This figure uses the Vulcan body. They also asked in the live-stream if people want to see more figures based on the original X-Factor team. This figure comes with the right arm for Nemesis.
- Uncanny X-Force Nightcrawler - This figure includes a sword, two headsculpts and multiple hands. The two headsculpts have different eye colors, again because in the comics he was shown with different eye (Yellow and red) colors. This figure has pin-less arms and legs. Ryan in the live-stream made sure to note that Uncanny X-Force is an interesting team, possibly hinting more members from that team will be getting the figure treatment. This figure also includes the dome and back piece for Nemesis.
The
Build-A-Figure for this wave is
Nemesis. This is a more modern version of the character which is why it looks different from the previous Holocaust/Nemesis figure Hasbro did years ago. This is one of Dwights favorite figures he has ever worked on. The figure has tubes on the back that attach to his right arm cannon. The dome is removable and the skull head can turn and has an articulated jaw. The Skull head is also encased in fire.
This will be the second Marvel Legends wave released in 2025.

I sure hope so. I watched MCU Collector's review and it seems like he had a difficult time with swapping the effects. Hopefully it was just his copy of the figure.

The new blast effect is gold! I'll get this figure for this alone!

I was then on board for Jean, until I saw that the yellow boots are missing.

Good figure though I was never really a fan of the whole Strikeforce Subteam. Not that there was particularly anything wrong with it it just never appealed to me so I never really felt compelled to read the book. That being said I kind of feel the same. Love Nightcrawler. Love the face sculpt and the upgrade on the body mold. Just don't like the color and uniform. I just want a classic version using this mold. The '97 Nightcrawler with the Sasquatch wave head sculpt is in my display. And that's okay. But something about it just strikes me as kitbashy. I know it looks fine but I just want an updated complete one rather than having to put multiple figures together. I guess it's just an OCD-y thing of mine. I like to keep all my figures together and complete. So if I do this thing where I combine 2 or more figures together I'll keep a copy of each figure complete and then buy a 2nd copy of each figure to combine and keep together. Maybe it's just me but sometimes it gets pretty expensive for me with the amount of repeat figures I purchase. Anyway it's a cool figure. Not really my thing but it is good enough that I have to have. Plus I need to have the BAF piece.
I really want a Dave Cockrum style Nightcrawler. I feel the '97 version is the closest we've got so far, with perfect face shadowing.

The original long-haired AoA Nightcrawler is one of my top most-wanted figures.
That's a great looking cyclops! It's unfortunate that the head on reviewer's version was caved in a bit.
Absolutely Love the new effect for Cyke!
Now we need an MTO or Max line of Iceman with a huge modular Ice Slide that we could reconfigure or bend to several poses. And a "snowman" Bobby with snowballs and the boots on!

while i would want an AOA version, I think I prefer this version to add and COMPLETE the Remender Uncanny X-force.

Yes, a multi-power Rogue like that would be amazing! Instant purchase. When I was a kid I remember getting an issue of X-Men Classic with her fighting Nimrod like that.
