They are nice, but I’m a bit ticked that the first series is being found for $7.50 less than a month after its release. Preordering anything other than made to order, seems to be an overpriced mistake of late.

preordering at $25 each is ridiculous as the above guy said. hasbro needs to accept their situation and go back to 19.99 msrp, or at least deliver.
This is a meh line. I definitely need Goblin Queen in my collection and this does make happy those who grumbled most about cel-shading the last time around, but who needs magneto in this costume? I can think of a lot of characters i would rather they had made.
My main gripe though is the stupid baby. What is this? We already didn't need baby nightcrawler with mystique. Just include a second head sculpt! I'm sure there's some canon explanation for why she would have a baby but we don't need one as an accessory. Fail for not delivering a second head sculpt instead.

Is that a new, pinless Nightcrawler? If so, I will definitely pick him up. Disappointed in the Goblin Queen. Cyclops might be cool for the effects.

LOL who asked for a cartoonish Carl Denti?

Cyclops (No cel-shade, thanks Hasbro!), Night Crawler, and X-Cutioner will get definitely…

Do Goblin Queen & X-Cutioner getting toon toys increase their odds of getting comics-based Marvel Legends too?

Marvel Legends seems to be dead. Barely any comments on an X-Men wave, based on an upcoming Animated Series based on one of the best animated series.

Just crazy how far legneds/Hasbro/Marvel has fallen.

Cyclops is the one we wanted, with the eye beam....yet, not real excitement.

Personally, I'd rather have the 70s Cyclops with the effects.

No idea how the lack of discussion has anything to do with Legends.

Honestly ill probably grab the wave.

For me, it will depend on what figures Target doesn't stock in stores. Nightcrawler is really the only one I'll preorder for sure on Amazon. Everyone else, I'll just wait for the clearance endcap like I should have done with Magneto and Wolverine.

X-Cutioner gives me 90's flashbacks to Toy Biz, as in "Who is this guy? Why aren't they making the main character ladies?"

But since then, X-Cutioner played a big role in X-Men toons and the Fox movies. Oh, I guess he didn't.

I would say that since xcutioner is getting a fig ( i think he needed some texturing on his coat ) they may be doing a toon version of xcutioners song.

Not a chance in hell of Goblin Queen. You see how censored she is here.

Plus they probably want to rub it in that we missed a comic one because we didn't back that overpriced piece of crap car.

Sweet "X"....

"Mags" be stomp'n!!! ;^)

The only version of X Cutioner I would even consider getting is the comic version with a lot more details and texturing, looking like some post apocalyptic Mad Max character. No interest in a smooth cartoony, inconsequential villain.

I am pretty sure I saw all the X-Men TAS episodes and Magneto never looked like this there... nor did they do the weird Jean Grey clone Goblin Queen thing there. Are these from the upcoming new show?

LOL just saw the Storm Hawk episode where their "biggest fan" (and only one) complains that Piper has no action figure because "companies say boys don't play with female action figures". Prophetic, as the toyline ended without any of the female characters ever getting a toy... I mean today the situation is a lot better, but still, who the hell is X-Cutioner? I at first assumed this is the original Marvel character of whom they knocked off X, The Eleminator for Harvey Birdman.

Wrong tpoic

Oddly Nightcrawler is the only one who doesn't make me want to pick him up. The previous legends release is fine. Jean i missed the three pack one. Goblin jean b is an alright attempt of her clone. Xcutioner looks as good as his old trading card. Magneto outfit isnt my favorite but he did wear it. Last if cyclops bands don't fall than he is an improvement from the old, also my favorite mutant
Lazer eyes.

XCutioner never looked like this on his trading cards or comics. This is a completely new look for the animated series. I still have the X Cutioner's Song comics.

I'm a sucker for pinless joints. Plus, I could have one for Excalibur and one for X-Men.

That is a team that at this point I've neglected a bit. I should probably fill the gaps while it's not to costly.

I've never read a comic with him in it. Just remember the cards particular the mask which made me know it was him. Card was a bit more colorful.

My exposure to xmen comics is very limited. Random back issues but no clear pattern. I loved the marvel cartoons but found myself pulled to more dc comics.

Havent been paying attention to the xmen 97 stuff but, I'd pick up that cyclops to display with my Street Fighter figs. Might be time to reconfigure my shelf space and make a dedicated Capcom vs Marvel display.

Oh yeah and that 80s Magneto costume is ridiculous lol...theres literally nothing cool about it.

I'll definitely preorder Nightcrawler. Everyone else I might take my chances with the Target clearance isle.
