Bringing in a classic with the third reveal, Rogue!
First Impression:
For this wave, Hasbro teased us with silhouette images of these four figures in their Pulse website and revealed them on separate days.
Rogue, being the 3rd reveal, didn't really have me jumping. There were rumors before that there would be an upcoming Rogue figure, but I thought it was a reissue of the Jim Lee version that came in a boxset. That would have been great for those who haven't gotten her yet.
From the reveal, I wasn't really a fan of the whole 80's look, and I was satisfied with the Jim Lee version that I have. I was honestly considering on selling her after the review, however this changed when I saw the figure on hand.
Each case consists of:
x1 of each Quasar, Roge, Hydro-Man, Morbius,
x1 reissues of Spider-Man, Armored Spider-Man, Black Panther

It uses the new standard female body mold for Marvel Legends series.
It's not a retooled mohawk Storm for those who are wondering.

Overall Grade
This is probably my second favorite in the wave next to Quasar. I never thought I'd like this figure but the awesome face sculpt and paint in person just had me a change of heart. The figure itself looks simple but that's how she looks in the comic so I won't take that against them. It's a great addition, specially if you're an X-Men fan.

Final Grade - 4.3/5
Although this action figure was released in 2016, I just bought it and I don't regret having done it and I agree with you that she has one of the most beautiful facesculpts I've ever seen from this series.
