I hope we get a "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" wave soon, Blob BAF with Toad, Avalanche, White Suit Magneto w/unmasked head, Green Suit Quicksilver, Mystique and maybe Mastermind or Destiny?
We recently got the white suit Magneto. Mastermind was announced as well last week, we got a comic book style Mystique and the movie vision one too and I would love to see a green suit Quicksilver!
The Fire effect of Pyro can be put on the tubes on his arms ! The fire effect are a new sculpt. The pointy side are more longer and thinner than before so you can put it in the holes of the tubes ! I did it on mine and it work great !
I just bought this two pack exclusively for the retro Pyro figure - he's been a favorite character since I was a kid. I used to watch the 90s X-Men show hoping he'd make an appearance. I agree %100 regarding the way this figure decided to showcase his mutant ability... it's like they weren't totally clear about what he does. "Oh, he's yellow & red, has fiery blonde hair & his name is Pyro? So he shoots fire out of his hands. Easy peasy."
Hasbro...why are the ponytails not rotatable? They would make the poses look more dynamic and could have done a lot to help make these and the Jim Lee Jean head sculpts a bit more exciting.
The Demogoblin glider is another nice accessory. Yep. Pyro creating a flaming bird of prey could be nice. Creating a spiraling flame ball. Creating a flaming claw. Something not natural out of flames would have made it a $50 set. I’m waiting for Black Friday sale too.
I wish they would do a rogue for the '80s with that green and black look or even a rogue villain or even rogue in the Savage Land with magneto would be awesome
@crafty gecko I throw mine out. For a while I was keeping portions to sort of scrapbook with the cool art. But it's a lot of extra work for essentially garbage. I hope you're not drowning in boxes, bro!
I can justify the $50 price for the Colossus & Juggernaut pack, even the Wolverine & Hulk one...but I'm not getting it with this set. [Still _absolutely_ buying it 😎] Just seriously wondering what the justification would be with over charging. A $39.99 price would be reasonable; along with a glove holdin' hand and a couple new (or at least non Iron Fist) flame effects. Maybe Hasbro's reasoning would be a 'you got to look at the big picture' kinda thing. Some stuff is not gonna be worth it so that other stuff will be worth it.
It was 25% off at Best Buy in recent days. Would've been $37.50 and free shipping. I passed because I didn't want to pay $37.50 for Pyro basically, and a Christmas elf/shitty costume Rogue.
Meh. I don’t want to pay $50 for Pyro. I wasn’t looking forward to him because I think the Pizza Spidey buck would have been perfect. After your review I think I could make an exception. I like that the hoses connect to bracelets and not directly to the back of his hand like in the ToyBiz version. Ifi can’t find him I’m going to try a Pizza Spidey upper with Shatterstar lower (thanks for that idea) and ToyBiz gear for a kitbash that comes closer to legendary X-Men artist Paul Michael Smith’s Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe illustration.
Just got the two pack yesterday with a 50% off the real price. Haven't opened yet, but the package and the figures looks amazing. Thank you so much for the review.
Solid review. I'll stick with the Toybiz Pyro for now. This one isnt that big enough of an upgrade to justify spending $50 on the two pack. Maybe if I ever come across Pyro alone for $20-25.
Do none of them come with a coffee stain ? Are you kidding me Hasbro ? You expect us to pay extra just because it's an 'anniversary' 2 pack and your figures dont even come with a coffee stain ?
I have preordered this set and I can't wait for it especially as Pyro is my fav brotherhood character and this is my favourite Rogue look. Pyro should have come with some flamethrower effects
I love this pack, my only gripe is I wish that pyro had more effects. They could have made a Pyro/Avalanche or Pyro/Toad pack, but this still looks great!
Jus picked this set up. I dig it 😎. For real the Pyro flame fist effect it wack. He needs long flame effect. Would be cool if one of Rogue's open hand was flesh colour 🖐🏻.
I pre-ordered back when they announced it on pulse. But! I packed it away without even opening it. 😅 I got it because I've been reading comics for many years, I love the X-Men... and I'm a sicko. 🙃 Great review, Shart!
hey for my x-men team would i get away with using this rouge as a filler i tend too get eather 90s jim lee blue and yellow team but her yellow and green outfit jeaket is too much for my blood . i am tempting too buy the new rouges for filler or this 2 pack one because this is what she looks like now in 2022 her new green outfit
From what I’ve read online pyro can make his own flames now or at least certain versions of him can idk if it’s actually true but if other mutants can get power upgrades why not him
I hope they do an updated rogue from the original look, the old one looks awesome but the eyes are off- I can’t bring myself to paying those aftermarket prices for a ML. On another note; pinless tech is nice and all but you still can’t give us more range on the females tho that blows, if the chicks had the range some of these guys have it’d set the bar highhh
female legends just don't do it for me. they all have the same mold since...like forever lol they really need like 3 or 4 different "busts" or something. the 30 year old rogue shouldn't have the same body type as a teenage Wolfsbane ya know?
I live in the Eastern Europe and a site from my country already has in stock the Diamond Select Batman 1989 MK statue and the 1990 Purple Catwoman. Can I please get a review of these so I can finally buy them ? :D
At 3:02 he says he uses the "koba kia flametrooper" effect. Does anyone know what the accurate spelling of that is or what he is talking about? I tried googling "koba kia" and nothing comes up. I really need that flame piece.
You say we can't have a figure with chest cleavage but Emma Frost (White Queen) and Jean Grey (Black Queen) in the Hellfire Club Set though and we got Disco Dazzler not so long ago.
I think the reason we get the over sexualized look for Emma and Selene ( cOmiC AccUraTe or whatever) is because the box set is not a regular release, but instead a convention exclusive. Similar to the Logan two pack with the bloody claws.
😕 I feel that Hasbro kinda dropped the ball on this one. They should've used the Pizza Spider-Man body mold for Pyro and they should've made some new flame effects for Pyro. Rogue... She wasn't really bad? But, she wasn't really good either? The best thing that I liked about this 2-Pack, was the box and the artwork on it!
I guess this has been Rogue’s look for a while now but I but I hope they eventually make a 1970s and/or 80s version with short hair and without the X-Men logos.
Probably to avoid controversy. Releasing action figures of women with large breasts isn't going to change the minds of radical feminists who believe men only care about sex.
