So in the other post I talked about the Marvel Super Hero line. As awesome as that was there was something lacking, namely the merry mutants known as the X-Men. I loved Cap and friends, but i really wanted to add Wolverine into the group.
Summer of 1991 made that a reality. Like I said in the other thread i used to call Toy Biz and a few times I mentioned Wolverine to them. One rep told me to be on the lookout sooner then later and I just might get that wish.
I was in Florida visiting my grandparents and we went to the mall. They had a K-B toys there so we stopped in. Low and behold on the shelfs was X-Men series one! I was stoked. My Grandparents said I could get two, So I chose Wolverine and Magneto and my brother picked out Nightcrawler and Colosus. We stayed for a month that year and by the end of the summer I had all of series one.
This was a great line that produced alot of awesome characters and would later even spawn an X-Force line. Shoot we even got two Deadpool Figures out of it among a host of others. And to this day they made the best Iceman ever (even the blue one was cool)
Kudos to Toy Biz for taking a chance with these characters and giving us a long and encompassing line.
Here's two visual guides to refresh your memories
