That's the version of Havok I was introduced to as a kid, though... Therefore it's the default version I think of when he's mentioned.
Well, that or the 90's X-treme leather-jacket with shoulder-pads version...

Either way, it makes you wonder why people didn't just grab ahold and twirl him around by them. Kind of like those morons in the NFL who wear the long braids. To me, that's just begging to be pulled.

I used to have that X-Facpotr Toybiz Havok myself. He was pretty damn well-sculpted for the times. Strong Guy too.

What's weird is that eventually towards the end they released all the members of X-Factor(Polaris and the Muliple Man were Wizard Magzine Exclusives) even Random.

Mr. Morbid's House Of Fun said...

with Havok? Oh most definitely ging.
Waid had Black canary do it to Flash in JLA: Year One.

The King of Thessaly said...

Nice, Dale! -I had that figure too, and Strong Guy, and Random... Man, I wish I still had those.
I used to get X-Factor monthly... I had pretty much the entire 90's run.

I don't remember the Wizard Exclusives... Didn't they make Polaris on the main run?
Oh, no- you know what it probably was? The 10 inch figure of her... I knew I remembered seeing her figure in stores!

Mr. Morbid's House Of Fun said...

@King:
Yeah they made a ginat-size figure of her, but also did a wave of repainted female variants, including Jean Grey in her green X-Factor outfit, Dazzeler in her disco one, wholfesbane, She-Hu;k, Mary Jane, bunch, Thundra, and a bunch of others.

The King of Thessaly said...

Toy Biz loved their repaint/variants... but so did I; I still wanted them! The Daredevil repaint in his "new" costume. The USAgent repaint of the Cap figure... The X-Factor and yellow-trunks versions of the same Cyclops figure. Psylocke and Electra were the same figure. Both versions of Spider-Woman were the same sculpt. Damn, we were easy to please back then...

I still giggle over that one practical joke Jamie pulled with the jar of mayo. Don't know why that sticks in my head, but it does.

Mr. Morbid's House Of Fun said...

@King: We were. But damn that X-Men wave of figures Toybiz put out was fucking phenominal though right?

Almost all of em' from the A0lit to theD/Z-list got a figure.

Caliban, the X-Cutioner, Corsair, The Gamemmaster, Trevor Fitzroy(One of my favs), Krule....Makes you wonder why Hasbro/ML doesn't offer more diversity in their waves like toybiz used to do.

@Ging: Yes, I remember that. One who where his dupe got shot, and it all forced Jamie to grow up a little that day.

Randomnerd said...

Yes! But it's the mayo jar that resonates. Probably because I've always wanted to do that to someone.

"Closing time. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."

Well..... I kinda always knew this day would come, and it sure has. It's been a hell of a ride, but it's time to for it end. Ti...
