Marvel Legends Vintage X-Men Series Figures Up for Order! Storm!

We may still be in the first half of 2019, but Hasbro has been releasing and soliciting new Marvel Legends figures at a rapid rate never-before-seen! And if you’ve still got some upcoming funds that are unaccounted for, Hasbro is ready to relieve you of that burden: the highly-anticipated Marvel Legends Vintage X-Men Series Figures are now up for order! Jim Lee Storm, Silver Samurai or X-Factor Cyclops, anyone?

Singles of the Retro X-Men Legends are now up on Amazon! Just want Jim Lee Storm? Better get her fast!

Vintage X-Men Marvel Legends Wave Iceman Cyclops StormHasbro brought four of the six action figures in the 6” Vintage X-Men Legends to New York Toy Fair 2019 in February, and three of the four figures made a huge splash there (with Madripoor Wolverine being an obvious exception).

The final two figures in the wave were kept secret to be held as a later surprise, but word leaked out months ago that they were likely to be a Jim Lee Storm and an Iceman—and lo and behold, that’s just what they are!

Marvel Legends Jim Lee Storm Figure PackagedHasbro polled fans at a convention a while back as to whether a 90s Storm Marvel Legends figure should have a silver or white costume, and it looks like white has won the day!

It’s hard to say from the photo whether Storm’s “wings” are plastic or soft goods, but they look great regardless. This figure is going to be a hot, Hot, HOT seller! With no Build-A-Figure for this wave to balance sales, I foresee this Marvel Legends Storm figure being a nightmare to find at retail.

Marvel Legends Vintage Iceman Figure PackagedThe new Vintage Marvel Legends Iceman Figure is… well, I guess he’s “okay”. This looks like the Toybiz X-Men Iceman figure reincarnated into a modern day package. With only fists and no open hands, plus an ice effects sled that doesn’t match the color of Iceman himself, I’m not as in love with this Bobby Drake figure as I really wanted to be.

Marvel Legends Vintage X-Men Wolverine Packaged RetroRounding out the X-Men Vintage Legends Series are the four figures I talked about at length at Toyfair: X-Factor Cyclops, Madripoor Wolverine, 80s Dazzler and Silver Samurai.

This Madripoor “disguise” Wolverine is at the very bottom of my list of Wolverine costumes, and this figure might be a very rare “pass” for me since there’s no Build-A-Figure in this wave. The “mask” on Logan has always seemed silly to me, and I’m stumped why Hasbro left it off the card art entirely.

Cyclops in his white and blue X-Factor costume might be the very first Toybiz X-Men figure that I ever bought (my memory is a little hazy in my old age), and I’m psyched to see that classic costume updated in figure form! Hasbro has raised the bar with the optic blast effects for this Cyclops, and I hope getting them with Scott Summers figures becomes the new normal.

Silver Samurai Marvel Legends Vintage X-Men Figure PackagedSilver Samurai is the token villain in this wave, and while he’s long been requested by X-Men fans, it’s difficult to predict his retail sales. While he’s appeared in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and the Wolverine movie (sort of), he’s not really a household name. I would have preferred a vac-metallized armor on him, but otherwise, he looks excellent.

Finally, we’ve got the Marvel Legends Dazzler that I really wanted all along! This is Alison Blaire as she appeared in the classic X-Men arcade game, and she looks rockin’. Unlike poor Jubilee, she even gets pink effects pieces! So excited to get a chance to own a super-articulated 80s Dazzler. Well-done, Hasbro!

The Marvel Legends Vintage X-Men wave is now up for order, and is scheduled to ship out in late summer 2019. No Build-A-Figure means uneven sales, so I have a hunch we may see Wolverine and maybe even Silver Samurai falling off the pegs this fall. The Retro Legends waves traditionally haven’t shown up at Target or Walmart, so this could also be a hard series to find in general.
