OH SNAP! Where's Banshee?!?! Storm looks cool. I hope we see a 1st class xmen with the snowman style Iceman, human Beast, human Angel, 60's Jean, Cyclops, and a young Professor. I can see the 7 pack including a reprint of Xmen #1 and Magneto.

Banshee didn't stick around for long; if you are going to include the first wave from Giant Sized X-men and their first mission to free the original X-men from the living island, you would need Sunfire too.
Strange to put Thunderbird in this lineup, which I think was more of a function of having the mold for his brother Warpath already, and doing slight paint mod's. If I remember correctly, Banshee left and went back to the UK w/ Moira so this would be more of the X-men / 2'nd Gen final roster, sans Kitty Pryde who didn't come in until around 20-30 issues later, and without Rogue who came in around 70 issues later. It is missing Jean though.. And having said that, Thunderbird than doesn't fit, since he died not long after joining. What an odd coupling! More of a function of available molds, one thinks? Would be neat to do gift packs of all the different semi-solid roster line-up's, maybe next they do a Dazzler / Jubilee / Wovie / Havok / Forge / Storm lineup, than maybe a Gambit / Bishop / Wolvie / Jean / Archangel / Cyclops / Beast / Rogue lineup. Would love to see an AoA lineup, or a Rise & Fall of the Shi'ar Empire gift pack... Maybe an Executioner's Song lineup with random characters from the crossover like Cable, Shatterstar, Guido, Stryfe, Apocalypse, Prof. X, and Domino?

Dude! I'm so glad I haven't gotten most of these figures already. Now I can get the whole team in one shot (If it's easily obtainable with few paint issues and such)

Plus, he wouldn't have been hard to do with existing molds...they'd just need to find a way to make his "wings" and a new headsculpt. Basically no more than they had to do for Storm, and could easily have taken up the slot of Cyclops (who we're already getting in that costume in a two-pack) or yet another Wolverine, but oh well. Multiple Box Sets would be fine, but remember this is the Marvel Universe line, not just the X-Men line, and they don't put out that much product every year for this one since it's a non media tie-in line.

Or maybe you're simply not a fan of the X-Men at all? I mean, given that their entire existence is a not-even-disguised metaphor for battling against intolerance, racism, and discrimination, their pretty much designed from the ground up to be "politically correct."

My thoughts exactly! I'm about to leave for TRU to return my Nightcrawler/Storm comic pack. I'll just hold out for this. Plus I rather have this version of Storm anyway.
