When Hasbro first released the first Deadpool wave with a classic Cable figure, i thought it would be great to complete that team. The wave also had a modern version of Domino, but it used the less than desirable Mockingbird body mold. Later Hasbro put out an X-force wave that included Sunspot and Cannonball with no legs(WHY?!). In the most recent Deadpool wave, we got a new Warpath figure in his classic X-force costume. So who’s left to fill out this team? Rictor, Feral, classic Domino, and Siryn. Well, Hasbro is giving us a set that will give us two of those characters and a redo of what was a pretty lazy release with a new X-force 3-pack with Rictor, Domino, and Cannonball, now with legs!
First off, Cannonball has legs now. Hasbro dropped the ball with the first release majorly. They included his blasting effect, but it is really just an accessory. Without it, you basically paid twenty bucks for half a figure. This new release includes legs, an alternate portrait and a new paint job on the blasting effect. Much, much better.
Domino is one those characters that always has a great design. Her classic design is one of my favorites. It is so 90’s and i just love it. So glad to get this version. We’re getting two different guns, but for the price i think they should have included a second head sculpt.
To my knowledge, this is the first Rictor in the Marvel Legends line, Toy Biz or Hasbro. The design was always a little out there, but it makes for a visually appealing action figure. We’ve received the effects pieces multiple times already. I wish they would have made them more unique to his power signature. The alternate hands are accurate to how he would typically use his powers though, so that’s cool.
This set is exclusive online on Hasbro Pulse and shopDisney. If it was an Amazon exclusive, we could have looked forward to a possible sale down the line, but at 60 bucks on shopDisney and 63 on HasbroPulse, you could do worse. I want these figures, so i went ahead and preordered a set on shopDisney. As of right now, the set is still up for preorder. Head to those sites now to preorder now.
