For the last six decades, one of comics’ most beloved superhero teams has been Marvel’s X-Men. These mutants have seen their fair share of iconic storylines, movies, TV shows, video games and action figures over the years. Now, as MCU fans wait for the full team to debut in the popular shared universe, Hasbro has unveiled their latest batch of Marvel Legends X-Men figures that’ll make even Wolverine smile.
The new six-inch scale X-Men Build-a-Figure wave includes Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Cyclops, Marrow, Marvel’s Husk, and Fabian Cortez. Every figure, except Wolverine, comes with a Build-a-Figure piece to create Marvel’s Nemesis. The X-Men franchise has been getting a ton of love lately with the release of X-Men ’97 and Deadpool & Wolverine last year. Hasbro made a ton of figures to accommodate Marvel fans’ mutant craving. These new comic figures are a great addition to their Marvel Legends line. Particularly Wolverine, who’s seen in his Ultimate X-Men black costume. Each figure will be $24.99 USD.
“What Would You Prefer, Yellow Spandex?”
Although the X-Men have been around for over 60 years, the team really didn’t hit the mainstream until X-Men: The Animated Series debuted in 1992. From there, a whole new generation was introduced to the likes of Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, and Professor X for the first time. The series also drew its viewers toward the comics, as almost every storyline from the series adapted a different narrative from its colorful source material. Some of the most iconic episodes took inspiration from “Days of Futures Past” and the “Phoenix Saga.”
Then, at the dawn of the new millennium, X-Men would get their own live-action film in 2000. Seen as one of the major templates for the modern comic book movie, Fox’s X-Men would feature seven mainline films and six spin-offs across the next two decades. The latter of which would include the Deadpool films, the Wolverine-centric Logan, and The New Mutants. Now that Disney owns Fox, mutants and the X-Men brand have slowly moved into the MCU. This could be seen in projects like Ms. Marvel and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. However, the biggest step for the X-Men in this shared universe was Deadpool & Wolverine, which saw both Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds return to their respective roles. Additionally, The Animated Series got rebooted in the form of X-Men ’97, which has quickly become one of Disney+’s most critically-acclaimed shows to date.
