I had one of Bishop figures from the 90s

I still have one in my mom's attic. I haven't purchased X-Men action figures in a long time but man this is tempting.

Bishop looks great with that shorter hair.

I haven't wanted something to fail this badly since Matt Fraction X-Men.
I now completely understand what the most ardent anti-krakoa fans were/are going through.

Why did you want Fraction to fail? And this?

Fraction X-Men was super-macho junk, a total turnoff, and in the midst of all the Decimation awfulness. I'm not the type of reader that series was for lol. The art didn't help. Was very glad when it was over.

This cartoon reads as banking on nostalgia, and I despise this version of my favorite character. So I've never liked the idea even slightly, but apparently an abhorrent status quo for this series' Jean, hinted at during an SDCC panel today, is coming, on top of the version's general awfulness.

I’m a little bit the sad the mullet is gone, lol. But this hair does look great.

[Frontier]

I too will miss Bishop's mullet.

I heard Archangel was a part of the team always liked him from the X-Factor and early 90s X-Men days..........suprised Psylocke is not getting more love and I wonder if Kitty will appear at all was always crazy to me how they made time to fit Captain America in an X-Men show while major X-Men either never appeared or there appearances were so brief.

Understood.

I have heavy thoughts on the Fraction era. The art certainly was not a match to START.

Jean is apparently pregnant in the series.

lolololololol.

[Gray Lensman]

Jean is apparently pregnant in the series.

lolololololol.

Given her powerset, she might still be able to kick butt across the universe. Even if it is directed from afar via a creepy helmet.

[Exodus]

Jean is apparently pregnant in the series.

lolololololol.

oh god, how awful...of course, her 90s X-Men animated persona comes through again....maybe we are lucky and the child is an alien Phoenix monster from outer space?

So is this also the reason why she is not getting any action figure?

There's a certain level of poetic justice I can't help but laugh at.

Anyway, looks like they're doing good work with Cyclops and Storm so I'm delighted.

It will be pretty funny if she is more kickass while pregnant than she was without the Phoenix during the entire run of the show.

It could still suck, with her being exactly what a lot of people fear, but only time will tell. I doubt she'll be that badass the showrunners are telling us about in episode one, however.
