Worth it or just Reused Garbage? | X-Men '97 Review

Ойын-сауық

We look at the new Marvel Legends X-Men '97 lineup. Every figure available in this X-Men wave; Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, Bishop, Storm, and Magneto. Are these Marvel Legends truly legends? Or just resuing other parts to make X-Men 97?

    This is basically the Wolverine figure I've always wanted. When I think of Wolverine, I always think of the yellow/black/blue costume from the 90's comics and animated series. This figure totally nails it. The swappable hands and heads (with the crumpled up mask) are of course appreciated. But the thing that I appreciate the most is that the claws are in great shape. They were molded really well and aren't bent or warped in unsightly ways, which has always been a peeve of mine when it comes to Wolverine figures.

    I picked up this Wolverine last night and he’s amazing. Very few critiques. Wish the masked head was snarling or yelling and it would be nice if he had a grabbing hand instead of one of those basic fists. Otherwise, he’s absolutely everything I’ve wanted from a Wolverine. The rest of the line looks really good but it’s super hard to talk myself into going all in on another line. I have been saying a wave like this would get me in though. It’s just so hard to find em all over the course of a few weeks. You either buy em all at once the one time you see em or hope for the best😹 I’m also not really a fan of Bishops new haircut. It’s really generic and makes him look like a basic created character in a video game. Wish they’d have kept the mullet or the dreads he’s been shown with before in other stories. It just made for a much cooler design.

    I really like the upgrades on Rogue. Her legs/boots having sculpted details has its pros and cons, but I like the fact that I wouldn’t have to worry about the bands falling off. The head looks really good to me. Wish her belt was looser like on the retro. I wish Storm had effects, and I’m not a fan of the head sculpt, but the upgraded legs are a big improvement. The Wolverine is the BIG stand out!! Pinless, improved butterfly joints that don’t stick and rub like on EVERY other Wolverine, awesome masked head, amazing unmasked head, the best “retro” style claws (as in coming from back of hand with metal covers), he’s practically completely all new. Mostly TINY little tweaks, but they did then anyway bc the small things make big differences. Really wish these claws had been used on the recent X team uniform (uncanny x-men #275). The second wave is also KILLER!! So excited for all of them! Just hope I’ll be able to find them all! I’ve only not been able to find Rogue so far :(

    Good day to you. Recent subscriber as well as recently back into knowing about the X-Men. I grew up with X2 as my intro to the X-Men especially for a kid like me who was born in 99. Last month I dedicated myself to watching the entire 5 seasons of the 90s cartoon and hoping to see who would be my favorite mutant. Out of all the roster of the Xavier’s students and other allies, it was most certainly Bishop. His Marvel Universe Infinite series figure didn’t give him enough love and I’m recently getting into finding his very first Marvel Legends figure. Seeing him in the show as well as simplifying his style plus with this new figure that I just got today on the only GameStop I could grab it from, I can’t wait to see what they would do more with him.

    After being disappointed with my first ML (Warrior Gamora is one heck of it and some have defended it), I see this Bishop, I don’t have him yet, I’ve no intention to pick any of these… I’m just happy that, once in a while, ML has something decent for the fans. After research: last time they released Bishop, it was the 1992 version of the comics back in 2018 with no extra hands apart from a much larger gun. So it is, objectively, an improvement and considering the price for the 2018 version on the aftermarket, it’s actually acceptable for a ML release. And then there’s Storm.

Lol I can’t remember where she actually is a goddess from. But I think they are worth it if you have zero representation of animated X-Men and they are definitely worth it if you bought them at target when they gave you $10 off of 50 or $25 off of 100.

    You have to see these figures in person, they are outstanding and look much better outside of a video. The Magneto is the only character I returned, Mafex Magneto is the definitive option IMO if you want a more accurate and versatile depiction (nice Jim Lee / Animated Series blend). The scale accuracy is also very cool, too bad they did not release a Cyclops with this first wave... that would have been nice to see. I will say thay Rogue and Gambit do have a strange "lights out or no one's home" type look to their expressions unfortunately but they are solid molds.

The Colossus BAF wave one, had two pairs of hands, effects, and a longer haired unmasked version. The Family matters three pack had effects, two sets of hands and two helmeted heads. They should have used the unmasked head from the Apocalypse BAF figure and gave him power effects. The older Bishop had a mullet and a larger gun. I like the shorter hair on the new one. It looks like the old Bishop had issues with head turning and the larger gun harness on his back. I hope they improve on any other figures from this line.

    These look good for retail figures and I'm not surprised they sold out within like 2 days at my Toys R Us, but at the end of the day they're still so close to the Diamond Select stuff in price and look/feel a step below even their own Lightning Collection stuff, especially when characters like Pudgy Pig and Finster get looked at. Diamond Select Rogue, Gambit, Magneto, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Juggernaut, Sabertooth and some others are in the TV show or very close to the TV show ascetic so they can be compared pretty easily. It's really just Beast, Storm, and Cyclopse who're done in different costumes or in Beast's case artistic direction, and even with the older half that suffer from terrible hip Articulation (Storm and Wolverine really need flight stands) I feel they win out based on the unique sculpts and statuesck colouration. Those are basically posable statues coming right out of comic pages. Where the X-Men 97 figures cleanly take a win is in the articulation department, as well as potentially with the nostalgia bug as well due to the bright colours and bubble packaging that's definitely 90's. That's how I remember seeing X-Men toys especially being from my childhood. I feel the two lines are different enough and appreciate that these exist, and Mafex costing what they do kinda plays their own game too.

    The gambit figure confuses the hell out of me. They made the storm pinless and she is virtually unchanged.. like dollars to doughnuts look at them side by side you can't tell a difference other than her being pinless but for gambit they opted NOT to go ahead and make him pinless for some reason? Like why? he is one who really could have benefitted from it because the 2 tone nature of the pegs always bothered people on that figure in particular. Kudos to hasbro for finally retiring that damn jacket though.. the mold must have finally fallen apart.

    I like the line. I think some figures look better than others. I really love the Wolverine heads and mask accessory (the body is standard ok to me). Gambit looks really good also. My only thing is the line seems basic and with no power accessories so I would say for that reason, it should cost at least 5 dollars less than the Legends line. This is the biggest issue I would say.

    I have the set and I agree, Bishop is dope af and I’m not even a Bishop fan. Wolverine is perfect imo, just what I would want from this line. I agree on Storms skin being WAY too glossy and the wings being super cheap. I can live without her having effects if the other criticisms weren’t there. Gambit I think is spot on for this style of representation even though it’s mostly a reused figure. The hair and face are great. Magneto is good but I wish they gave us another head without the helmet. Rogue… I really don’t like her new figure. I have the classic and think the classic is all around better. I prefer the brown jacket and face/hair. I think the best thing about this set is it’s a great jumping on point for people wanting to collect X-men figures. I always collected games and comics and just started collecting some figures and this worked out great for me as a good starting point.
