Generation X should be way older. And way crankier.

I certainly am, anyway. Also, I don't think Jubilee is traditionally...built like that. Hell, I'm not sure Psylocke is built like that; the OAFE review of Monet notes the figure is probably bigger than it should be. Maybe in more ways than one. Still, I got a spare dirt cheap at Target, and thought I would see what I could do. The hands swap out, the neck could be a sticking point.

This week started out pretty well, then went south on me; but maybe wasn't a complete loss. We'll see you next week!

I don't know- she kinda looks like Rosie Perez with the suit on. Not that she looks much better with the yellow coat honestly- I'm seeing bag lady in that one. Not a fan of that head sculpt is what it comes down to, I guess.

Didn't she get a new figure in the X-Men training uniform? I didn't go in on those.

She should have a yellow & blue outfit circa UNX#275 since they've pretty much cranked out that whole line up.

Jubilee was always on the smart side, both cup-wise & in general, although I'm sure a little latitude could be given due to her aging up. But definitely nowhere near a C-cup...well, maybe when she was pregnant.

Did NOT know Hasbro made Gen X figures, but considering the audience that has grown up to be able to financially pay for such things, it shouldn't surprise me either. They better be making then entire Core Gen X line-up and soon, before it's all said & done. Just don't ask me what the BAF would be. Mondo?

Was Jubilee pregnant? I thought she just found the baby she adopted/stole alone in the wreckage of a hospital or something? It was in that Brian Wood-written X-Men title, circa 2013 or so, with the entire roster consisting of women.

(Plus, I think she was still a vampire at that point, which might complicate the whole thing. Unless she got pregnant at some other point I was blissfully unaware of. Entirely possible.)

But yeah, Jubilee historically wasn't one of the curvier or more stacked X-Women, similar to Kitty Pryde. Varies depending on the artist, of course. About the time I dropped that Brian Wood book, they'd put Terry Dodson on as artist, so any variety in body type went out the window like it tapped into the Speed Force.

@CalvinPitt: Ok, you're right. I had to go & research it, but she did adopt a kid as opposed to having one naturally. Definitely an odd bit of character development for a character like her.
