I LOVED those figures. There was a time where I was almost complete on that toy line and I considered selling off my legends. Instead I sold the old ones and kept my legends. I made some decent money on them.

YES! There were so many characters that were in like 2 issues and never seen again. I remember a guy named Killspree who was in 1, maybe 2 issues of X-Force. He had 2 different version made! Ha! I used to run to KB when I was at the mall with my allowance/birthday money and buy 6 figures at a time. I remember my KB having mostly 3 figures for $10. Sometimes, other lines would be 2 for $5, like the Ghost Rider line. They even marked the cycles down to that price!

My dad used to have business-related meetups (they were kind of informal, but happened every other week like clockwork), so he'd have them at the closest mall with a Kay Bee, so he could give me $10 and I'd entertain myself for, like, an hour. Come home with a bunch on new figures.

Those were the days.

My Dad always went to the Autozone next to the KB and he'd do that same thing. Give me $10 and get me out of his hair for an hour.

I think those figures are responsible for my love of those team line ups. I could play with X-Force or X-Factor and have them go on a mission instead of just random figures thrown together.

Haha, I remember her. It was a lame repaint, but I had it.
