I’m new to this, and I haven’t even begun to read most of what’s on here, but I’ve had some things on my mind and seem to have found this place just in time to share it. From what I’ve seen so far, I’ve got a little bit to say about everything, so here goes.

Don’t see anything wrong with X-Plosion, aside from a few characters I want that were omitted. Sculpts look great for most of them, and although people are complaining, I didn’t notice that much Perplex in dials. And something else I’d like to touch on, as far as I know, tournaments are there to be won, any tournament is like that, so if someone can create an unbeatable team using so called cheese, let them. You don’t want to play that way, find somewhere that doesn’t allow it, or play with your friends. I’m sure you’re all thinking I’m one of those cheesie players, but I’m not, and I don’t enjoy playing them, but whining won’t get rid of them so why bother.

Characters I’d Like to See: all REV unless otherwise noted

X-Heros - Cable, Angel, Havok, Bishop, Husk, Cannonball, Madrox the Multiple Man, Mimic/Morph, X-Man U, Marvel Girl U and a MCing Jean, Snowman Iceman U, Hairless Beast U, Sunfire, Banshee, Magik/Ilyana Rasputin, and Thunderbird/Warpath, Jubilee, Maverick, Chamber

X-Villains - Deadpool!!!!, Dark Phoenix U, Mr. Sinister U, Onslaught U, Mesmero, Morlocks, Sebastian Shaw The Black King, other Hellfire Club hierarchy, Hellfire Club goons, Unus the Untouchable, Stryfe U, Exodus U, Legion, Cyber, Omega Red, Locus, Gladiator U, the Four Horsemen (not just War, Famine, etc. but Archangel as Death, Wolvie as Death, Caliban, Tyler/Nemisis, etc.)

Other Heros - Punisher, Captain Marvel U (Mar-vell, or Genis-vell), Rick Jones U, Ghost Rider, Cloak + Dagger (separate REV‘s), Grey Hulk, Sasquatch, Kane, Namor, War Machine, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Adam Warlock U, Silver Surfer U

Other Villains - Loki, Venom, Green Goblin (not Ultimate), Kraven, Wendigo U, Morbius, Carnage U, Kree, Mole Man and men, Beyonder U, Rhino, Chameleon, Mysterio, Absorbing Man, Blackout, Lizard, Baron Zemo, Mephisto U, some Titans, Troll or Giants for Thor, JJ Jameson U

X-Plosion gave me Taskmaster but no Deadpool/Agent X, Apocalypse but no Cable, almost enough to make me cry. Sure, my list is a little X-heavy, but I’ve just gotten back into comics and my memory is a little hazy. I mean, I could think of a few hundred more, but most of them I don’t want to see as clix.

And here are some thoughts on future and current figures.

We best be getting a Deadpool soon!!!

Apocalypse and Cable should be, excuse me, should have been AE’s. There should be a team based around Apocalypse, like Disciples of Apocalypse or something.

One of Logans levels, some version of the Hulk and some version of Spidey, along with a Ghost Rider should have had an FF team ability for the “New Fantastic Four” that took the place of the others for a little. Sure it was only a few issues, but that would be fun, and it would give the FF much more versatility.

Anyone know why Jean Grey doesn’t fly, or affect peoples minds for that matter? They had one of here recent costumes for the fig, but the powers of Marvel Girl.

I think Angel should come like this:
R - Angel (the cheap X taxi people have been clamouring for)
E - Archangel (metal wings, but still an X)
V - Angel (current version with feathered wings again)
U - Death (with aforementioned Apocalypse Team)

I don’t want to see another Elektra, enough already, unless the next one is Dead Elektra, no thanks. On that note, how about a Wasted Iron Man, a Baby Magneto, or an Oops I fell out of my chair Prof. X.

Shouldn’t the White Queen have been a Brotherhood member. Sabretooth and Juggernaut were, why not her? I think here E version should have been X also, anyone remember Generation X? And she is still a psychic with her diamond skin isn’t she, what the hell happened to those powers? The diamond version should have been dropped, made into a unique, or saved for a different R/E/V version.

Shouldn’t Wolive and Sabs had Super Senses, at least for the first click when they can smell attackers coming? And what’s with Weapon X having stealth, the version that he seems to be is breaking out of the WX complex, I don’t recall him sneaking around. Unless this was his secret agent, Team X days, stealth doesn’t make sense in my mind.

Anyone know how the point cost of figs is reached, or how much different powers cost?

Think we’re going to see some 80’s clix? They could combine them, or have individual sets for each. G. I Joe and Transformers could be a few expansions, Thundercats maybe two, He-Man would have a few too.

Does anyone know what the “Clix” on the bottom of all the products are for?

I think I’m just about done. Will be more than happy if someone actually responds.

You're tourney comments suck. Cheese shouldn't be allowed at all. Maybe a rule barring no identical teams would be good.

Decent list, but there are some there that I have no interest in seeing. I want to see a Carrion, or Demogoblin. Tombstone would be nice too.

That "New FF" idea seems decent, and I want some new team abilities too, although I'm not so sure that Apocalypse needs one.

I like the breakdown of Angel too, but where is his time away. With the Defenders?
