How did Hasbro make new figures look inferior to the original 20 year old toys? Then again, this might be the Toy Biz fanboy in me, since I loved a majority of their Marvel figures and bought quite a lot of it before most of my collection ended up being ruined and had to be thrown away due to a bad move to a new home in 2017.

Magneto seems to be the worst offender. They gave him multiple heads, but put what appears to be the First Class helmet on an Ian McKellen likeness head instead of his original trilogy helmet.
Also, why are these boxes so plain? You'd think they would've at least slapped on a "X-Men: The Movie Series - 20th anniversary" or whatever title to raise more excitement for these figures. They didn't even use the retro packaging of the "X-Men: The Movie" figures that Toy Biz did, which would've been great for old-time collectors.

Really? wow. Totally opposite here. I had the Toybiz Xmen figures and they all looked like crap, especially the Wolverine, Sabretooth, and Magneto figures. These look slightly better. Also, Ian McKellen helmet IS from the original movies, not First Class.
