REVIEW: The First X-Men #5 (of 5)

Or – “Do We Really Need The Secret Origin of EVERYTHING?”

The announcement of this miniseries was met with varying enthusiasm, balancing excitement about Neal Adams return to the X-characters with trepidation that there’s so much X-Men product out there, and the quiet worry that he’s no longer the Neal Adams that he used to be.  Five issues later, and The First X-Men project is in the can, but how does the last issue measure up?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Kotobukiya announces Sabretooth statue

Kotobukiya has announced the upcoming release of Sabretooth in the Danger Room fine art statue.   This is the third in the series featuring Wolverine’s longtime rival.

Inspired by Jim Lee’s 1990’s era X-Men, Sabretooth embodies animalistic aggression!  The fearsome predator stands ready for battle, his left hand balled into a fist and his right splayed open with claws at the ready.  Creed’s face is a mask of rage with his fangs bared in a vicious snarl.  The mutant’s costume is authentic to the last detail, with the iconic brown and yellow tiger-striped bodysuit and massive fur collar.  Sabretooth has an incredible sculpt, highlighting his powerfully muscled physique.  Creed’s expression and body language just scream “bring it on,” daring the Danger Room to take him on!

The statue is sculpted by Erick Sosa and stands 14 inches tall – in scale with the other statues in the line, and features translucent elements that light up with built in LEDs.
