They could have gotten away with a “civilian Heather” in a box set... missed opportunity :(

When I first heard about this, I was very excited, but when I saw the set I was VERY disappointed:
1) Have NEVER liked Heather as a costumed hero 2) No Sasquatch figure (a non-starter for any purported ALPHA FLIGHT set) 3) No Marrina

They’ve released a Guardian figure and a Sasquatch build-a-figure in recent X-Men releases.

WHAT is the obsession with bare legs on Puck? I got rid of that almost immediately-------------------------------- Think how Stan and Jack must have felt about the grey hulk.

Funko Pops has a cute series of the original X-Men, in their school uniforms. Blue, unfortunately, but that’s easily corrected. (Depressing, tho, to Google “Funko Pops X-Men” and find a seemingly endless celebration of everything that went wrong with those characters.)

I was pondering painting them black when they were announced as well. I got into a discussion on a Funko board over the blue/black issue, and they finally conceded my point when I asked what color Superman's hair should be.

You must have fallen in with a hip crowd. I’ve been asked why everyone doesn’t know Superman and Clark are the same guy since they both have blue hair.

Mr. Byrne - it's the glasses. They distract his friends from the hair color.

Yet I don't recall anyone ever commenting on Lois' blue hair. Superman's "blue hair" became one of the ways ennui-engorged fanboys could distance themselves from their addiction. "Oh, look! I'm so superior to these silly comics! See how I mock Superman's blue hair!" feh!
