Yes, the chest is a new sculpt to key in the cape so its not just a plug-in to the back but rather glued to cut grooves in the torso. The pelvis and lower hips are also new with folds that previous figures dont have. The cape is new. I didnt look too closely at the helmet. That may be the only re-used piece. Even the hands arent the same grasping hands from earlier releases. Theyre smoother. Like animated versions.

Yeah that cape is looking good

I'm the same way. I'm glad when people get things that they want and love. I'd buy an Xavier also BUT he'd have to better then the one I have. I also picked up Bishop to hopefully do a head swap with my Legends one I have. I always hated the body he was on. I'd also like a non cell shaded Cyclops and Jean.

Yeah it would be pretty hard to top the Xavier we got some years ago, I missed out on that one, and my lust for a Xavier in my display is strong, but not strong enough to buy a movie figure or a walking cyclops in a black catsuit, I'd have gone for a cellshaded if they did that, I just hope they give us an Xavier here because it seems like it might be the only opporunity to see them re-do a classic version, I can't seem them doing one otherwise, I do as well hope they put out a Jean and Cyclops mainly for other collectors, those 2 are super important to an X-Men display, and the Jim Lee looks are the most desired I'd imagine, we've had a truck load of Cyclops over the years but none as good as that VHS one, but alas it's cell shaded, and Poor ol Jean was part of a 3 pack, I'd imagine a ton very got for many reasons, I'm happy with that Jean myself, but I'd probably boot out the jacketed Cyclops if they gave us a non shaded VHS one.

Fair Enough, to each their own, and it's all about personal preference, I personally don't like the childish almost nickoldeon look to gambit's face it's too soft and almost woody from toy story-ish, Magneto is certainly the most comic passable figure out of this lot, and then Wolvie, and it is a nice Magneto, and good for anyone who didn't buy that 3 pack, I'm always happy when I know there are people who want these things, not everything can be for everyone, but I hate the whole "who asked for this" or "why did they do this" because that's just ridiculous, not everybody eats pancakes but that doesn't mean they should stop being made.

all this I have said I'd still not even second guess buying a Xavier figure if they did one.

I'm the same way. I'm glad when people get things that they want and love. I'd buy an Xavier also BUT he'd have to better then the one I have.

Mostly repaints with new heads and pinless limbs on some, I think.

Does anyone know if Magneto is on a new body in addition to the new limbs?

Any word on how much the Deadpool set will cost?

I'm so excited for female SHIELD and Hydra Agents! And though I'm jsut happy to finally have them I think Hasbro missed out on a golden opportunity here. In this one convention they were able to show 4 army builders. The female Hydra Agent, the female SHIELD Agent, the Fist and the Mindless Ones. If they could have just come up with a few more army builders they coiuld have actually made an entire a wave and instead of most likely just selling many collectors one set with the Mindless One as the BAF they could have sold most collectors multiple sets of the Mindless One as the BAF. Think about all the other Army Builders people have been asking for for years. And they could have done the old favorite half MCU half Comic thing Hasbro loves to do. Doombots, Chitauri, Outriders, Hammer Drones. Add those to the other three and they could have been an entire wave. I would have bought at least 6 sets. Without exaggeration. How much would it really take? The Doombots would only take a small tweak on the Doom body mold. Of course the Chitauri and Outriders would need new sculpts but what MCU figure doesn't? I can't believe someone at Hasbro has not explored this possibility yet. To me this is a no brainer but to be in my brain would drive most people insane. But is there anyone else here that thinks this is a good idea?

A whole wave of Army builders would be a great idea

An option of either single or 3-packs would be great for the army builders out there. Even for larger figures like the Mindless Ones, or the Brood, this would be a great opportunity for collectors.
