Today Hasbro is holding a live-stream with the Marvel Legends brand team (Dwight, Dan & Ryan) where they will be showing off new products for the coming year. Among other things we expect them to full reveal the two X-Men 60th Anniversary Yellow And Blue X-Men 3-Packs which feature figures of (Forge, Jubilee, Storm) and (Banshee, Gambit, Psylock) as well as the new Deluxe Blob figure. You can expect these to go up for pre-order this coming Thursday (12/8) at 1pm ET at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth.
We will be bringing you full coverage here of those and everything else new they reveal today.

They teased a rose, golf club and white creature for upcoming figures. The creature appears to be Ch'od's pet, Cr'reee which may be the BAF for the X-Men wave.
Feel like Ive been waiting forever for Blob to get discounted somewhere. I may throw in the towel and finally snag him off Pulse soon. If I don't, Spiral will have been the only ML I got this year
Ha, actually more like whenever I see this figure I think, my has that one Garbage Pail kid grown, I like this figure quite a bit, but it also creeps me out just a tad, I mean Blob is kinda creepy I guess..he's a massive obese guy, whos powers are being massively obese, mutant ability to max out a BMI, can this mold be used to give us a Big Bertha figure some day? that's the question one must ask, it's important.are you rad enough Hasbro for that one??
I would be really surprised if they ever made a Big Bertha figure.
Is it only me or does anyone else also hear in their head "Nothing moves the Blob!" whenever they see a picture of him?

It was actually Sunder, not Strong Guy! And, like Storm, he and Legion didnt actually wear the uniform except on the cover of that one issue. Amanda Sefton did, though, as did Sharon Friedlander and Tom Corsi.

Thanks for the correction. Ill have to go back and read that issue again. My old memory is getting rusty.
Funny thing about this is Strong Guy was supposed to be moved to the X-Men at one time. It was something Jim Lee tried to strong arm before he bailed on Marvel for Image. He saw the growing popularity of Guido and lobbied to have him put on the Blue Team as an analog to Gold Team's Colossus. I guess it was put in motion and he was supposed to join the Blue sometime after X-Tinction Agenda but that was about the time all the artists split and plans changed shortly afterward. It's even clear, in the trading cards that were already in production at the time, there is an X-Men Team Picture which clearly includes Strong Guy in the photo, but then later got labeled as Sunder even though he spent like what, three issues in a uniform and then got unceremoniously shot and killed. Not sure where I read it, but I'm sure it was in one of the thousands of articles that were being written about the Image guys when they turned the comic industry on it's head.
Very excited to add to my OUTBACK collection. This figure looks great...although I would have preferred the Scarlet Witch upper body for this figure...im still very happy we are getting it. Now...im really wanting Psylocke in her armor now!!
