I need to find a way to take the LE guts out and stick them in the Pro Cabinet.
By far...that one looks the best. A translite with all the major characters, and that kick-butt Greg Land Phoenix on the head?
The Pro art package is just awesome! Not sure why they went Wolverine-only, or Magneto-only...instead of just "highlighting" them.

Pro - Left Backbox is Greg Land. (Phoenix)
LE: Wolverine - Jim Lee
Need to dig up who drew the other stuff..
Quoted from RobT:Personally don't understand why so many of you prefer the art on the pro (I prefer both of the LE's over the pro) but that is a personal opinion
First off, I'm in for a Wolverine LE, and I DO like the way it looks. However, I prefer the look of the pro.
To sum up...the Pro looks exactly how I DREAMED this pin would look. Great, kick-butt art...and a fantastic representation of all the characters. NOBODY is missing on the Pro...heck it even has Deadpool on a side!
The Wolverine edition (again, I think it looks great)...not only does it have ZERO villains on the cab, it has ZERO characters on the Backglass that aren't named "Wolverine." Heck, the cab doesn't even have ICEMAN anywhere on it!
Just look at the HEADS of the pins:
Left Head: Pro has that really, really awesome art of Phoenix done by Greg Land. It's pretty sexy. The LE has....claws. (Or...Magneto's hand and a ball).
Right Head: Pro has that pretty cool Storm on the side. LE has....claws again. (Or, Magneto and his ball....again).
If you get a Magneto, you don't get cabinet or backglass art for ANY of the heroes...no Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Jean Grey....etc etc etc. Likewise, the Wolverine edition doesn't get Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Mystique, White Queen, Sentinels, Deadpool, etc etc etc.
If you are a fan of the X-Men, and you are getting an LE of ANY kind, odds are that SOMEBODY you like will NOT be represented on the backglass or cabinet.
If you get the Pro....EVERYONE is on there.
That's my disappointment.

Quoted from RobT:^ But wasn't all of that expected before pics were released?
I guess I was hoping that it was "Wolverine-Focused" on the backglass, and not "Wolverine-Exclusive."
Quoted from RobT:I still say that the art for the characters that are there looks better on the LE's. YMMV
I do agree with this. The art is spectacular on EVERY game. I LOVE the fact that the Wolverine LE has JIM LEE art. That guy is friggin' awesome!
Quoted from Erik:I foresee Pete buying two XMens and performing a cabinet swap day 1
Oh no....I don't have that kind of money!
However, I MAY try to find a huge Wolverine fan who couldn't afford the LE who wants to swap cabs with me.
At the very least, I'm buying a Pro translite.
Quoted from PinWiz17:It looks like Gambit get hosed again! <img src="/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-smilies/pinside/icon_cry.gif" title="
">
He's all over the game, actually....unless you are getting a Magneto LE. He's even on the PF by the bumpers...
Pete
Quoted from Gexchange:So A bunch of you liked the pro Back glass, here is the Part # 515-5450-D1 X-Men backglass assy
That should be full Assm.
And how do we order this?
