Yah Id say yellow wouldve been the way to go, at least. Ive just never been a fan of how they tend to throw gold in place of what I think should be yellow. A 3-pack wouldve/couldve been interesting. Maybe theyll do that for his investigator look or whatever.

It would work if they'd just put some effort into the paints they choose. In the first appearance of Madrox's containment suit, the yellow "sensors/electrodes/control elements" whatever, were clearly drawn as "metallic", so I see the effect they were going for. But instead their color choice came out as dull or mustard and doesn't go well with the green. I would think quality control would have seen that before production, but hey....

A yellow or gold version of what they did in green, for Psycho-Man, would have been better. Or maybe just go with plain yellow.

Not doing this in a 2/3/multi pack was a missed opportunity; maybe not as lazy/bizarre in not giving Siryn an alt screaming head, but getting up there.....

This is my preferred costume so Im definitely glad to get at least 1. Would like to figure out something to make the gold deco pop some more though.

Haha I actually only ordered 1, I'm not an army builder, I only ever feel like having 1 of even say a Hydra Goon.

Although I've said this was wave of the year, I've only preordered 3 figures from this wave: Dark Phoenix, Spiral and possibly this MM (I don't remember if it was Jamie or LongShot that I PO'ed). I don't think the wave will be hard to come by.

I also agree the gold doesn't mesh. I wish they gave him all 3 heads a la the other Jamie. That other release was definitely the better value considering that one also came with his trench coat plus a BAF part.

I prefer this original outfit, but agree that the "gold" they used is too bland and just doesnt mesh well. I know they were going for a metallic look, because thats how the first appearance containment suit was depicted, but they need to broaden their paints because this didnt quite make it.

Still smh that they didn't make this a multi-pack. Oh well.

I only ever got one chance to get that First Multiple man, and I already broke my bank at the time, so I left it (I was sure at that point I'd see him again, boy was I wrong), never got a chance again, since everybody bought as many as they could it shot up in price with a quickness, I just couldn't bring myself to pay the after market prices, so I hoped we'd see this sooner or later, and viola, I actually like this look for Multiple Man more over the X-Factor look, so I'm happy to finally get a chance at having a Multple Man in my collection. I'm glad I didn't have to wait 15 years to get a second chance at him.

I think army-builder is the way to go. Which army-builder that they've offered so far hasn't sold out in minutes? I reckon they'd clean up if they revisited the X-Factor uniform in that format.

I searched the country up and down for those X-Factor versions and finally happened on a half dozen at JC Penney, of all places. Not usually my MO to wipe out a store's entire stock but I'd been a really nice guy to that point, always leaving at least one on the shelf, but I got mine that day, and at a 20 percent discount at that. Last I checked I have 16 of them. If they ever did an army builder I'd buy another 16.
