For me the 90s X-Men figures were a Renaissance period in action figures. Between the change in standard size, articulation, and detail this series is it for me. From the beginning to the end of the series the figures just kept getting better and better. I love them all. The new ones are amazing in their own way, but I really feel like Toy Biz X-Men are one of the greatest action figure series ever.

I like how they are all so colorful, then the idiotic Fox movies made them all unrecognizable.

Oh man, I remember that X-Men vs SF Rogue. I never got her original figure either, but I repainted the hair on the Polaris figure that reused that buck to finally have something close. And the Bishop I still prefer is the bald variant of the Toybiz ML.

I'd like to get that Wolvie figure and paint him so he's wearing the orange and brown. My vintage Cyclops' still work and all 3 have the original batteries, so does my Mister Sinister. Also, the original Magneto figure did have a cape - it was fabric, and it was way too short and skinny, but he did have one. Overall these figures are pretty cool, though I wish they weren't $25 each...that's pretty steep for a lone Marvel Legends figure with no BAF.

Damn, those memories... The Gambit figure was the first one I ever got (because of the show). The second was Banshee, because of the annoying potential his whistle holded at that time. I've always wanted a proper Rogue or Jean figure, and my mom managed to find me a Cyclops, but it was the X-Factor one (and you know kids... it wasn't the same as the anime so I was kinda sad). I'm still wondering if I should give those figures a GO. I have the budget but no space to really expose them... Also I think some of them are hard to find nowadays. Still it must be really healing for long term fans of the show that didn't/couldn't get their favorite mutants figures !

Gambit first appeared in UXM 266, not 226.

I thought the original Rogue figure from ‘94 looked visually good. But everything else about it was horrible. If memory serves correctly, her head didn’t turn due to her hair. She had a punching action where she punched up, but it looked more like she was punching herself in the head. And, at least on mine, the mechanism was so sensitive it went off constantly just by touching the figure itself, not even the trigger on her back. Oh, and her legs were abnormally far apart as though she’d spent the entire night getting kinetically charged by Remy.
