Good, now people can stop yelling at each other about if this is a movie or comic set...

Or Toad. Came in the first ever series of Marvel Legends from ToyBiz and even then that was never a proper version. It had a cool sculpt but the thing was a statue. Mortimer could use better representation in figure form so hopefully Hasbro hops to it.

Toad is my "least" wanted X-men related villain ever. Seriously, what is the fascination with this extremely lame character. The movie portrayal of him by Darth Maul was even more putrid. I'd rather Hasbro had skipped on the alternate "smirk" head sculpt & given us actual flame thrower fire spewing effects & 2 alternate open//splayed hands effects. Could care less for that version of Rogue. JL version is all I need of her. With mystique & now Pyro made, Blob, Avalanche & Destiny should be popping up in 21'.Gimme a 1st app classic Sabretooth any day over a Toad.

Honestly, I don't know what the big deal is about Toad either, but I'm sure he's done something good in the comics. The only thing I know him from is the X-Me Evolution cartoon and first movie as he doesn't appear in any of the Claremont stuff I have read. I'd rather have Mesmero first since he had a highly enjoyable arc. Same goes for Arcade.

Toad never amounts to much in the comics, either. Usually a henchman or team member. I have a collection of 40 years of x-comics and don’t recall him ever doing anything truly memorable or impactful.
For me, the Ray Park performance was the pinnacle of Toad’s existence. That doesn’t say much for the character.

Personally, I want Hasbro versions of all the Pryde of the X-men lineup. We're pretty damn close, too. Technically only need Toad and Kitty Pryde. (Although a new Blob would be great as I hate the look of the existing Hasbro version). Toad's portrayal in the X-Men movie sucked. No doubt. But he's such a classic X-villain. I think that's why so many people want him.

IIRC, Toad was originally a part of a line of two-packs featuring X-Men movie characters and their comic counterparts, but the line got cancelled and the Toad comic figure was folded over into Marvel Legends.

Yup. Pyro looks like Pyro. Not sure he needed an alternate head though. And I wonder how that Rogue head looks on the Jim Lee body.

I'm one for the original Brotherhood as well as the version that debuted in the 80's so Ima Toad fan. He has done nothing really but snivel and bemoan his existence but he and Mastermind were original members...so I want him. And yes I want Mesmero as well! His arc in uncanny taking the X-men hostage and making them carnival folk was awesome! The more mutants the Merrier!

N...no, no he wasn't. He was in the "Pryde of the X-Men" pilot for the first attempt at a series, but that never got off the ground. His only appearance in the 90s series was as a henchman character for Solarr in the episode "Secrets, Not Long Buried".
And alla ya people crapping on Toad, go find a new hobby. We get it, you don't like him, move on. Some of us do. But I don't get the crapping on him, either. He's one of the original X-Men villains and needed just as much as we need a new Avalanche and Blob, same as we need regular old Mastermind as much as the Hellfire Club version because our Brotherhood of Evil set-ups are incomplete without him. |

Why are these under the 20th Anniversary banner?They are not movie versions, they are comic versions, or am I missing something.

Even though the 20th anniversary is itself the movie's it's evident Hasbro is just taking an opportunity to celebrate the X-men as a franchise, comics included. The Nimrod set, Old Man Logan pack, and Storm/Thunderbird pack also use this unique packaging.

I am honestly surprised that Hasbro does not re issue Blob with maybe a new head and paint upgrades in the 30$ deluxe line. Seems like a no brainer.
I myself want a 2 pack with classic Mystique ( re issue of the walgreens one with her original dark grey skin with an alternate couple heads) and a Destiny figure with unmasked head. If you really want to go for gold add in a classic early Rogue ( in black and green) and make it a 3 pack!!! That would give you 2 known X characters ( for the public) and anyone who knows the Mystique/ Rogue history would want the Destiny to go with them since she is important to both of them. And ... More Freedom Force That really just leaves someone to be packed with a new Avalanche figure like Rogue /Pyro. So what A lister x men character should go toe to toe with Avalanche???

Pryde of the X-Men (didn't know the name) was my intro to a lot of characters as we had it on VHS and could watch it over and over. The animated series was too but that was just whenever I could watch on TV. There was also another movie where Jubilee joined and the Sentinels first appeared. Those 2 "movies" had the biggest impact for me.
I like Toad. Also Rogue. Rouge is the color or term for lipstick. |
