By far the best set. 3 new figures and a Wolverine repaint that I couldn't wait to get a hold of. X-23 might have trouble standing but once you find her niche, it's no problem. Mr. Sinister has definetly been a top 5 want for a lot of people for a while now. I don't get the legs, though. They seem to want to move, but i ain't gonna push them. Same with cables arm. It looks like it will move, but better not push it. Also great pain jobs all around.

I was both excited and disappointed with this set. Finally a Sinister, but it appears as though they borrowed Colossus' legs from the battle with Magneto four pack. and the new Cable which look more true to the Cable I know is a retweeked Punisher figure. The only original figure in this fourpack is X-23. And her pose is so awkward, she makes Storm look stable. I just wanted more.

This set is interesting. Lets do a rundown of the figures!
Mr. Sinister is based off his new Messiah Complex look, which means he's clean shaven and sporting some long hair. I personally prefer his other look, with crazy facial hair and short hair. He only sports 2 poa, both arms. His cape isn't great, but this is the first cape we've had attached at the neck but it makes him look like he has a giant neck. And his cape is solid blue, I prefer the blue-red version more. As for the talk about him having retooled Colossus legs, nope. They're different. He's an all new sculpt. Overall, a decent figure but I wish this figure did more for me. B-
X-Force Wolverine looks great. This is one of my favorite sculpts and the new design works wonders. The only complaint I have about this figure is the underoo outline looks odd up close, but it's not enough to take away from this figure. A-
X-Force X-23 is interesting. She looks great but isn't articulated. Hasbro tried to make a dynamic stance but failed. This figure does not stand well at all. Visually she looks great but physically needed some more work. C+
Cable is based off his his more modern look. His only POA is his right arm, allowing him to be aiming his gun or doing the behind the head Punisher version 2 stance. I don't think he's a retool of Punisher at all for the record. I like him much more than the first Cable figure. Great sculpt, nice details and intricate. B+
Overall, I like this pack. Sinister is a disappointment but I'm happy to have a version of this figure. The pack's backdrop is a nice snowscape, uneventful but looks good.

Cable's costume and overall look is a huge improvement over the 2-pack version. I like the mutie eyes and the spike-ish hair. My two complaints are that his metal arm is screaming for articulation and that his gun arm is too close to his body. His gun rubs against his head (leaving black paint on the side of his head) if you swing it up and down. And the angle is awkward if you try to point the gun forward. It seems to block out his face. B
I try to restrain myself from commenting on figures that I've never physically examined, but I will say that I really don't like this "emo Sinister." I really can't stand the boy-band hair-do. Old farts like me are truly disappointed that we didn't get a classic Sinister.

Wolverine ( X- Force)
A decent repaint of the figure. Not much else to say.
Cable (Gun behind back)
Cable has seen some improvements since the last figure. My only complaint is that when you put his gun locked on to someone it blocks out his face sorta. Still awesome details. B
X-23 (X-Force)
X-23 looks excellent. She is the best one in tihs pack. At least in my opinion. A+
Mr. Sinister
Mr. Sinister's hair feels too long. But still good figure. A

Professer X Man (X-Force) Professer X Man looks great when he is in the X-Force. If it were not for his smiling he would be great. Still a great figure overall that I said. A I really hope you mean X-Force Wolverine, not Professor X Man. |

 While X-Men Origins: Wolverine left me almost as angry as X-3 did, I’ve got to hand it to Hasbro for actually making toys worth getting. Following the trend set by Iron Man and the Hulk; Wolverine’s own Super Hero Squad line tried to have as little to do as possible with the movie and instead went straight to the comics for inspiration.
