Diamond Select Toys Classic X-Force Minimates box set includes Cable, Cannonball, Shatterstar, and Domino. Also shown in the gallery are the Toys R Us Exclusive Rictor & Boomer Marvel Minimates, which were sold as a 2-Pack a couple of years ago. It’s recommended to pick these up to booster your X-Force team.
This X-Force set is based on the early 1990’s comic book designs created by Rob Liefeld and ran from 1991-2001.

X-Ternal Cannonball – Cannonball features a newly tooled head piece with goggles and yellow hair attached, a belt with pouches, and includes a fire torso base. He is painted in dark blue, brown, and yellow and blonde hair.
Warrior Shatterstar – Shatterstar is painted in his red, brown, blue and white uniform and features his double sword with a hand guard as seen in the comics. The helmeted headpiece with the yellow hair attached is reused from the previous Shatterstar figure.

Also included is an interchangeable head, a tech gun that can be mounted on the armor’s back, alternate brown boots and yellow feet, alternate yellow hands, and yellow glove cuffs. Cable is painted grey, yellow, brown, and red suit, with a silver left arm, white hair, and a bearded and unbearded alternate heads.
Triumphant Domino – Domino is painted in her blue and purple uniform and features a holster on her knees for both pistols, a newly tooled head piece, wrist gauntlets, shoulder guards, and belt.
All four figures also include an acrylic figure stand.
Overall:
Having read a few of the classic X-Force comics, and collected the Toybiz X-Force figures of the 1990’s, these are great additions to any X-Force or Marvel collections.
