This one slipped by us last week. According to Zach Oat, the X-Men: Days of Future Past – Marvel Select Mystique, which we saw from C2E2 earlier this year, has been cancelled. Apparently, Jennifer Lawrence decided against them using her likeness rights. Here’s what Zach posted in response to a question on Facebook:
“Mystique has been canceled. Unfortunately, Jennifer Lawrence declined to participate.“
A bummer for fans looking to pick up the figure.
Marvel Select X-Men Days of Future Past Mystique
Just when I thought there was no hope of there ever being a JL Mystique figure (Minimates doesn't count), Diamond Select goes and proves me wrong. I'll definitely be getting this. Might even keep it in-package so I can hang it next to the Katniss figure I have.
Wtf Is wrong with MS? First they wont do winter soldier from cap2, now this is what u give us? Why dont you just do Dr. Bong, till then Ill save my dough.
Sorry but I can't say I really care. Not when they could have gone with Magneto or a Sentinel or something.
It's a great looking figure...I love it... but a lot of fans were expecting a movie Sentinel Marvel Select figure.
Diamond Select is losing out on a whole bunch of army builder sales by not releasing one.
Mystique was no better of a choice than anyone else in the movie. Have we had a Macavoy Xavier yet? No. Fassbender Magneto? No. Hoult Beast? No. The list goes on and on. Hell, they finally did a halfway decent costume for Wolverine, and he's a guaranteed product mover, so a new version of him would be the best choice from a business standpoint.
These specific versions have not yet been done.

I know it's the signiture look for movie Mystique, but I kinda wish they had given JL's part as the character a version of that white outfit from the comics. It would at least make owning a figure of her a tad less... awkward... lol

It's nice that there's finally some of that signature yellow and blue in a movie Wolverine suit. I'd definitely like to see other characters get made before Logan again, mostly Kitty Pryde or Fassbender Magneto in the full red costume.
You'd think by now there would have been a nod to Mystique's white dress from the comics. It'd be great to see her with the long hair and the white dress in at least one scene. You won't catch me complaining about the look they've been going with, though.
Mmmmmmm, Im not in Marvel Select anymore only if the figures are Spider-Man related, but I would have love a Sentinel figure for my figures, hope some people enjoy this Mystique figure
I think she looks great, I sort of wish that I came into collecting when MS started up. But I'm here for Apocolyplse! And BTW, if you at DST decide to do a sentinel, I'll be in for 4 or 5 of them! Just saying....
remember when the first X-movie came out and we got the comic/movie version two packs? that was cool. I just seems like
Hasbro is phoning it in with the X-men, the last movie didn't get a damn thing! I'd like tem to treat the X-franchise more like the Avengers, full offerings in all lines! hell we got a Nattily Portman from Thor 2! I don't think it sucks that there making Mystique, but I do think it will suck if they only make Mystique. and if anyone is going to shove any figures up anyone's ass heres my suggestion...

She looks awesome! this is also way better than the one that come out from the first movie that busted a million times
anyways.. going along with the winter soldier argument.. them not making a captain america movie version of the winter soldier is the same as if there was an optimus figure made without a megatron, luke without vader, etc.. toy lines need to have good guys and bad guys.
They owe us a movie Black Widow too.

She probably realized someone could sand the scaly bits off, use a little putty, and repaint it. :/
That sucks, but honestly... I can't really blame her. I wonder if they got her permision to begin with, or came up with the sculpt and then went to her about it.
Was really looking forward to this
