So, I just got my hands on the Marvel Legends X-Men ’97 figures, wave 1. Let me tell you, it’s been a ride.
It all started when I saw the news online. Hasbro announced these figures, and I knew I had to have them. I’m a big X-Men fan, and the ’97 series? That’s my jam. So, I went on a hunt.
I checked the pre-order pages. Not bad, around 25 bucks each. Not too shabby for these beauties. I marked my calendar for the release date and waited. It felt like forever, honestly.
Getting My Hands on Them
Finally, the day came. I rushed to grab them as soon as they were available. Bishop, Wolverine, Storm, and Gambit – all in their ’97 glory. Man, the nostalgia hit hard. It’s like they jumped right out of the TV screen.
I gotta say, these figures are something else. The detail is crazy good. They even got the retro cardbacks, just like the old days. I spent hours just admiring them, posing them, reliving those Saturday mornings in front of the TV.
The Nitty-Gritty
- Bishop: Dude’s got his signature look down. The energy blast accessory is a nice touch.
- Wolverine: Claws out, ready to rumble. They nailed his fierce expression.
- Storm: She’s majestic, floating with her cape. The lightning effects are awesome.
- Gambit: That staff, the cards, his charming smirk. Perfect.
It’s not just about collecting, you know? It’s about reliving those childhood memories, the excitement, the stories. These figures, they bring back all of that. I set them up on my shelf, and it’s like a little piece of my childhood is right there with me.
If you’re an X-Men fan, especially of the ’97 series, these are a must-have. Trust me, you won’t regret it. It’s like holding a piece of our favorite show in your hands. And with a wave 2 on the horizon, my excitement, and collection, is only going to grow. Can’t wait to see what other characters Hasbro will bring to life next!
