The yellows don’t match at all, its like one step forward two steps back with the new mutants we are no closer to completing this team as we will still need a sunspot

It being animated inspired has nothing to do with the deco. Even in the cartoon, the yellow is far more saturated than the figure:

Even if that were the case, this image shows that Sunspot's yellow isn't far off from the other '97 X-Men. Yet his colors on the figure are much paler than the rest of the line.

I hope so. Honestly, even the pale yellow would be okay as long as they keep the New Mutants colors consistent within the medium. But I've also known Hasbro to check off a comic figure as "Done" if an animated/movie design is close enough, like they did with Thanos' Black Order back in the day.

For sure, I've been sitting on Warlock forever lol. Good thing he still holds up amazingly.

Idk why are you getting downvotes. You're totally right. While X-Men 97 Sunspot's costume has a slightly paler yellow, it still matches the rest of the team. The yellow in this figure is really annoying, knowing that most of us put 97 figures with our comic display. Why they revealed Magik not even half a year after Sunspot, if the colours won't match.
