"X-Men Days of Future Past" @ #SDCC2013 San Diego Comic Con
Loads of development happening around the time and at San Diego Comic Con this weekend past, starting with the "reveal" of a quartet of character headshots, which included "BISHOP" (alongside Colossus, Prof X and Magneto), and as well the "Sentinel Mark I" production model was on display off-site at the Hard Rock Hotel (Pics via X=Men Movies) from "Trask Indiustries" (headed up by "Bolivier Trask"), and the reveal of the line-up of actors at the SDCC-panel, and hell, that's a whole lot of mutants! …I was practically in tears, even just watching the video below:

Toy-wise, I wish there were more options for X-Men characters. I used to collected the blister-carded action figures, but that soon lost it's luster (for me). There have been interesting releases from Hot Toys, Medicom Toy etc in 1/6, but nothing to scream about, frankly. And while POP! vinyl versions from Funko caters to my current aesthetic preferences, there really is nothing gagging for, IMHO. Perhaps a hyper-realistic statuette set (within the 6-inch 1/12th-scale range?) or even PVC gasaphon-styled figurines? Imagine with this line-up, it'll be more economically viable to collect the entire team - both past and future - no? hhhmm
