With a small line-up of just four figures, this Flashback series was another repaint that drew mixed reactions from collectors. Two unproduced variants of Omega Red and Bishop were slated for release but ended up being scrapped for unknown reasons. It’s nice to see Polaris finally get a figure, even if it was a direct reproduction of the previously released Rogue figure, as it reflects the ongoing demand for representation of lesser-known characters. The inclusion of the 8 knives from Spy Wolverine with this series’ Wolverine was an interesting one.
