Here we go! https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/2592534-x-men-heads comes in a bunch of colors
Got my Marvel Legends Apocalypse wave Psylocke yesterday and Wolverine today and thought I'd share some pics and impressions.
First up is Wolverine. He's a short little figure which is perfect and he looks pretty stocky to me. He's pretty much the exact same mold as Brown Costume Wolverine but with a different head and different arms. He comes with two sets of hands. Clenched with claws out (claws are removable) and clenched with claws retracted. He also comes with the back tubes for Apocalypse.
I know there were some people that wanted his colors to be a bit more lemon yellow but the color they've gone with is great. He color matches Jim Lee Cyclops really well, this is the best Wolverine Hasbro has done I think. Really glad I got him.
Now on to Psylocke.
Oh Betsy, where to start?
I really wanted to pick up a Psylocke since I knew she'd be hard to find and I wanted to add a proper (not custom) Psylocke to my collection. The last two Psylocke figures that were put out were either way off or hard to find and this Psylocke I think will be a mix of the two.
Her body is smaller than I would have preferred, I think she would have looked really good on the Hellcat body but instead they went with a smaller framed body and she comes across looking a little young. Her face is...not what I expected. Mine came with eyes that slightly looked in different directions, the eyebrows were painted on too thick and yes, her hair is black. Now I know Hasbro has released some Psylocke's with the correct hair color but I think the initial couple waves are going to have black haired Betsy on the pegs.
The other thing I had issue with is that her diaphragm joint doesn't move much, at least on mine. She can barely move side to side, she does slightly better going front to back though. Psylocke comes with a couple nice accessories, her psychic butterfly that clips on to her face, a psychic sword with removable psychic...swirly things? And finally her psychic knife, which as we all know is the focused totality of her telepathic powers lol
She's not a bad figure but I think she could have been much better. I repainted the face, hair and redid the belt on mine and I think she looks a bit more like Psylocke. You can see those pics below.
All in all, not bad figures but if I had to choose out of the two, Wolverine is the winner for me.
Already posted elsewhere, but the new X-23 Premium Format figure is available for preorder.
Good job on the repaint! I have the whole wave on pre-order from dorkside, can't wait to get it.
Thanks. Yeah, I knew and have seen the purple haired figure. The blue on the suit is a bit more metallic as well but I'm good with my custom since the purple haired figure doesn't fix my issues with the face. You can see the difference with the purple haired Psylocke here https://www.flickr.com/photos/941696...-42190138@N05/
Thank you! I'm very happy with the way it all came out. I thought about getting the whole wave but I realized all I wanted were Psylocke and Wolverine. I'll pick up Apocalypse later.
It will surprise no one when I say I am super excited for these! I have already preordered the first four sets. However, I was very disappointed to see that we are getting Phoenix before a normal Jean Grey. I sincerely hope that they release a Jean in her normal uniform or else that will sour the entire line for me.
Also, the leaked image I have seen of Rogue and Gambit looks great, but Rogue is missing the circular black X emblem over her left breast, so with as much as these things cost, I hope that they correct that.

There's a Remy Legends figure in the 2019 wave!
Oooh that's exciting! There's also going to be Professor X, Skullbuster, Forge, Exiles Blink(!!), and a Walgreens-exclusive Bachalo Magik!!!!!!!!
I'm not that pumped about the current ML wave. I think I may not be a completist for this round and just get Ororo, Magneto, and Sabretooth.

Guys...the eternal question I'll post again...what are the good ML clear stands.
At this point...Hasbro could make a small killing making these
