Finally, my series three is complete! Got my Rogue today...



And, after getting that, I had THIS BONUS!

VARIANT ICEMAN "Bobby Drake"!



Now, I'm still searching for the other variant Bobby Drake (with the baseball cap) and the long-haired Rogue...

congrats lance.

are these xmc still in pegs of TRU, etc or do you get it sa specialty shops na or online?

Nice catch with Bobby Drake Lance!!

That is my all time favorite costume of rogue. Would love to have that, too.

I originally thought the "regular" Iceman would be the Ultimate version with the black bandana, I guess they opted for the more "classic" Iceman.

But hey the Jim Lee Mutant Genesis era "Bobby Drake" Iceman looks like a nice catch

tnx jujuman!

congrats on picking up rogue & variant iceman lance

Nice Haul Lance! Congrats on those figs.

Are tehre any news about the other Xtreme Xmen Uniforms? This series made me collect comics again after a long hiatus during the Onslaught era. It would be nice to have them in plastic. I'd als want to have a Vargas, Thais, and the other henchman made, too.

Here's a sad news for all x-men fans...

X-Men's Dave Cockrum dies at 63

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Comic book illustrator Dave Cockrum, who in the 1970s overhauled the X-Men and helped popularize the relatively obscure Marvel Comics title into a publishing sensation and eventually a major film franchise, died Sunday. He was 63.

In his Superman pajamas and with his Batman blanket, Cockrum died in his favorite chair at his home in Belton, S.C., early Sunday morning. He had suffered a long battle with diabetes and related complications, his wife, Paty, said Tuesday.

At Cockrum's request, there will be no public services and his body will be cremated, according to Cox Funeral Home. His ashes will be spread on his property.

At Marvel Comics, Cockrum and writer Len Wein were handed the X-Men. The comic had been created in 1963 as a group of young outcasts enrolled in an academy for mutants, but the premise failed to capture fans.

Cockrum and Wein took the existing comic, added their own heroes and published "Giant-Size X-Men No. 1" in 1975. Many signature characters Cockrum designed and co-created — such as Storm, Mystique, Nightcrawler and Colossus — went on to become part of the "X-Men" films starring Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry.

Cockrum received no movie royalties, said family friend Clifford Meth, who organized efforts to help Cockrum and his family during his protracted medical care.

"Dave saw the movie and he cried — not because he was bitter," Meth said. "He cried because his characters were on screen and they were living."

Cockrum was born in Pendleton, Ore., the son of an Air Force officer. He set aside his interest in art while serving in Vietnam for the U.S. Navy. He moved to New York after leaving the service and got his big break in the early 1970s, drawing the Legion of Super-Heroes for DC Comics before moving to Marvel.

In January 2004, Cockrum moved to South Carolina after being hospitalized for bacterial pneumonia. As his diabetes progressed, his drawings became limited. His last drawing was a sketch for a fan, who attended a small comic book convention in Greenville, Paty Cockrum said.

Meth said Cockrum, who will be cremated in a Green Lantern shirt, will be remembered as "a comic incarnate."

"He had a genuine love for comics and for science fiction and for fantasy, and he lived in it," Meth said. "He loved his work."


TAKEN FROM YAHOO NEWS!

I read the news last night @ newsarama. that is very sad news indeed. Kudos to Dave for his phenomenal contributions to the X-Men. May he rest in peace

Heads up. XMC3 supposedly has already been sighted at malls. Tiyak the hoarders will be there.

OT

Sad news about David Cockrum Marvel sleazed their grubby hands on characters he made. One of the few characters he made that Marvel couldnt get were the Futurians. Check it out and you'll be pleased.

Dave is also a good illustrator BTW and he also worked on the Legion of Superheroes, Spiderman, and Ironfist among others.
