He's usually shirtless and has really tall hair. The hair's not usually as crazy as Sinkiewicz made it, but it's definitely always tall.

I'm only familiar with his 1st appearance look from that New Mutants story. I can't imagine they would base a figure on that bizarre look he has in Sienkiewicz' art.. hopefully he's gotten a more toyetic depiction since then.

Also given they are doing New Mutants characters, it would make sense
Yeah, that's a good point. I think Legion may be a lock for a figure next year not just because of the AoA connection but also the critically-acclaimed TV series wrapping up. Might be a Walgreen's exclusive though.

I didn't really think there would be, but a nice surprise like that would've been better than some video games Spider-Man figures? What? Surely they could've slid Shaman or Snowbird in for one of those video game Spideys. Oh well.
Alpha Flight seems limited to X-Men/Deadpool type waves. The Spideys are a Spider-Man wave.
That said, I would be pretty surprised if we don't get a Northstar/Aurora pack sooner rather than later (by which I mean in the next year or two).

Well, we've only seen Morph, Weapon X, and X-Man so far. That leaves four figures and a BAF in the initial wave. Safe assumption is that the BAF will be AoA Apocalypse (alternate possibilities: Sugar Man or Nemesis/Holocaust redux). Magneto would be a no-brainer, Probably a Sunfire redo/re-release, Dark Beast, and AoA Sabretooth
My reasoning being that with the exception of Magneto and Weapon X, those are all characters that have crossover outside of the AoA (With the Exiles, or because they eventually came to the 616 in the flesh).
But their comments prior to unveiling the AoA stuff hinted that there was a pretty good chance there will be more than one wave and/or other stuff to fill out that subline (Toy Biz did do their own AoA Subline, so maybe a "Vintage wave?"). I'd personally also be pleased if we got an X-Force Nightcrawler out of the deal.
We are experiencing a toy renaissance that 10 year old me would died to see. This is all pretty awesome though. Looking forward to more announcements in the future. You gotta be happy if you're an X-men fan. I hope they complete the Ultimates and have Blue Marvel and American Chavez at some point. It's great to be a fan right now.
