The X-Men United Kickstarter finally got its hooks in me.  This stretch goal should be opened up today.

They got the flag right, but not the mask and gloves.

I will definitely be sanding down those gloves if the figure has them. 

Next up!

I don’t understand cooperative board games. How do you crush the other players?

The new game mechanics allow one player to take control of the villain, so it's not just everyone looking to meet common goals. 

Puck & Dark Phoenix have funded, and Northstar is the next goal.

The art team at CMON did a great job with Marvel United and X-Men United is a continuation of the previous. The figures are unique and appealing. I resisted Marvel and must resist X-Men as well, but it is VERY tough.

I told myself NO over and over, but found myself checking for updates several times a day.  Once Guardian hit, I was done.  I'm still hoping for a Sasquatch before it ends tomorrow, but I'm thrilled to get the four Alphans. I'm probably going to sell off several of the stretch goals (Doop? What's a Doop??), though.

Hey, I just realized Guardian is Guardian, not "Vindicator".

So thanks for that!!

Sasquatch looks more like Wendigo to me. Sasquatch as some rather iconic hair placement that isn't present on this figure.

The Bigchild prototype paint jobs were what almost got me with Marvel United. If they had X-Men United prototypes painted by Bigchild I might have caved in for this product.
