Came across a few of these while going through some boxes at the store:
“Do you have a small metal pin with a close-up of Cyclops’ grimacing, visorless face in a snowstorm?” “Why, as a matter o’fact….”
BEHOLD: cloisonné stubble:
That may have been too much detail, but on the other hand…granted, this next pin’s actual size is only about an inch tall, so there’s only so much detail they can put in. Still, Cable’s near-featureless face and its soul-sucking gaping maw are just plain creepy:
“Limited to 2,500” says the back of this next pin:
I’m pretty sure they did pins for the other covers, too, but I sure hope they did an extra-wide pin for the fold-out version.
That Cyclops badge is from X-Men Unlimited #1. And it is weird that I know that.
Those aren’t pins those are brooches.
I knew that too Bear. The Cable full body looks really familiar. I think it based on a John Romita Jr. panel. Probably from that two issue Cable miniseries that brought him back to life just a few months after X-Cutioner’s Saga.
No the Cable pose is from the hologram cover to X-Force #25, a Greg Capullo drawing.
Oh yes, Fatal Attractions. So this metal pin is actually a less shiny version of the original.
@Adam – Yay, I’m not alone!
That’s not a snowstorm that visorless Cyclops is grimacing in. That’s Wolverine’s dandruff. Blast him, Cyke!
I am so disturbed by Magneto’s torso. HIS ARM MUSCLES ARE GROWING OUT OF HIS WAIST.
