I have to disagree with your number 1. The new X-Men ‘97 Wolverine is superior despite being so similar. First off, it has all pinless joints. Second, they were able to make the butterfly joints EXTREMELY smooth and take advantage of their FULL range as a result, where past wolverine figures had very tight butterfly joints after the halfway point. The shoulder covers also offer better movement. The masked head sculpt is also, to me, the BEST Wolverine masked head as I’ve always just loved this particular style. The unmasked head is different from previous Wolverine’s but I still really like it. Plus I thought it was awesome they included regular fists as well as the cowl to put around his neck when unmasked, just like the love triangle Wolverine. The claws are also really cool, if you are a fan of the CLASSIC Wolverine claw style with the covers on the back of his hands. They have been perfectly straight on my figure since day one and have stayed that way even after being in a pocket for long periods of time. I have numerous Wolverine figures as he’s my favorite character and this Wolverine is EASILY the best, and I’m saying this despite the recent retro card version being my favorite outfit for Wolverine (and was my previous favorite by a LONG way).
The only thing the new 97 Wolverine has that I like is the new Unmasked headsculpt, otherwise it's largely the same mold as the VHS Wolverine but with the new trunk and no shading. The biggest reason why I decided to skip on 97 Wolverine is the lack of angry head, how can you have a wolverine without the angry head?
@@ryantheanimator1156 it's has new arms, new legs, even the boots, new headsculpt, he's pinless and new paint. He's much better than the last animated series one
I think the more expressive head sculpts of the love triangle Wolverine go a long way for me. 97 has an amazing unmasked head but the masked head is very bland. The adamantium claws on 97 are superior to love triangle, but the latter also had bone claws which is a massive W. Overall I think it’s neck and neck between the two. It just comes down to preference. I’ll admit I absolutely adore 97 Wolverine, but I didn’t want recency bias to play a huge role in my decision. Give me about 6 months and I’ll make my definitive choice
Great list. I need to get my hands on a Nightcrawler. I just replaced my retro carded Gambit with X-Men '97 and head swapped with the Gambit from the Banshee, Psylocke 3pk. It looks great!!!
I agree with this list. Started collecting from the beginning. Just need that giant man to fund. Got all the legends i want outside of the new ones coming.
This I haven’t really thought about what the best Legends X-Men figures are before this video there aren’t as many truly great X-Men figures as there should be.
this is a good list, id have to agree with your choices. (i maybe would switch out domino with corsair, or banshee, psylocke would be on my list if mine wasnt broken) i dont know where they rank personally. that cyclops is top notch for me as is beast. the love triangle wolverine was my minds eye wolverine for a long time. but i just got the 97 wolvie today and that unmasked head for me takes the cake. and the molded trunks are nice too! wolverine was never my fav but after picking up this figure im finding myself falling in love with him all the same.
My problem with some of the Wolverine figures is the claws . I love the claws in the X-Force , Powers of X , fire claws ( as close to Astonishing as we have ) and the new 97 fig . The cheap wobbly loose claws on the triangle , juggernaut , and many others drive me nuts .
So I made sure to look through the comments but I thoroughly enjoyed your video. That being said, domino's first appearance is in one of the only comics I want but dont own is new mutants #93 first appearance of domino, deadpool and gideon.
That storm figure is so slept on! My top 3 are: The new deluxe Angel, 97 Wolverine, and Beast. Also please never say gyatt out loud again 😂😂 Also I’m sure you’re even more happy you kept that storm after the latest X-men 97 ep
I hope that they bring all of the characters from the fox movie versions of the x-men to the MCU and what I mean by that is bring the actors who played the characters from the fox movies cos in my opinion the actors were the perfect choice to play the characters so I hope they will bring the characters and also the actors after Deadpool 3 and maybe they could fit them into the other movies with the infinity stone that Deadpool used in the comics the continuity stone the seventh infinity stone
You got rid of your other figures of Cable after buying the Sasquatch wave one ? I just can't do that . I love the Juggernaut wave Cable more . The new Zabu wave Cable is better . That's just my opinion. I have sold most of my Toybiz figures . Once Hasbro does a version of a character that Toybiz did I sell off the Toybiz versions . I only have so much space .
That Dominó figure is amazing. I should have purchased the set when I had the chance. I am wondering what you think of the Black Queen Jean Grey figure from the Hellfire Club set.
I don't like the Mohawk Storm. We got 3 Storm I like last year. I turned level 1 Mutant Morph into an Original Character, level 4.5 Mutant Questar with a headswap! So the X-Men got the better deal with a much more powerful character.
Cool list but very biased. I would switch Beast with Logan and Cable with Gambit. Gambit figure in Hasbro edition really suck. it's just decent. Still thanks for sharing.
Yeah, An that Cable appeared first in New Mutants 87, I think... I could go do the leg work & Google: _"Read New Mutants 87"_ go through the bootleg & etc. But I'm pretty sure. Anyways, Thanks for the video. Also I always thought _Len Wein,_ was pronounced- _"Weeēn."_ Great Writer, His FINAL CRISIS prologue w/ LIBRA & Libra's origin, connected to Starman was Awesome. FINAL CRISIS 'Secret Files' #1 is A #MustRead
@@floorboss uncanny 201 was where he “technically” made his first appearance as a baby, but yeah new mutants 87 was where he made his debut as a grown up
"Wagner" is a German (Deutsche) name, so it's pronounced with a typical "v" sound instead of the Anglicized "w" and an elongated "aa" sound. Effectively "varg-ner".
Here’s a list of edits for this. I rushed through my research which led to a lot of mistakes. Sorry😅 • Nightcrawler came out in the Wendigo BAF Wave • Storm came in a 2-pack with Thunderbird • Colossus came out in the Warlock BAF Wave • Cable is not a distant descendant of Scott Summers. He’s just a straight up descendent being the child of Scott and Madelyne Pryor. • Cable debuted in New Mutants #87, but he technically first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #201 as a newborn. • The original Gambit figure came out in the Caliban BAF Wave.
At 9:29 you are showing a picture of Giant Size X-Men #1, which was the first appearance of many of the more modern X-Men characters (Colossas, Nightcrawler, Storm, etc..) NOT X-Men #1 which debuted the original 5 X-Men as well as Professor X and Magneto.
Rogue is not a hero. She absorbed the powers and personality of Ms Marvel. When she reverts, she'll be the evil villain she truly is. (And BTW, Rogue's red and white hair is a dead giveaway that she's another of Magneto's fatherless children. Just like Quicksilver, Scarlett Witch, Storm, Mystique, etc. Cable will turn out to be a future descendant of Magneto, too. ).
I strongly dislike this video, idk why it keeps getting so many views
I have this Cable. It is an awesome rendition by Marvel Legends.

100% agree the new wolverine is 10 times better

Yes! The very best version of Kurt all time✨✨✨🙌🏽

I'm glad you gave Domino her flowers. She deserves more love from us. A great figure fr
Just purchased Nightcrawler this week for a good price on eBay. Glad to have my X-Men collection almost complete! 🔥
24:15 This is pretty impressive! You got a new subscriber! Thanks for what you do!!!
I would have choose archangel ..over domino
Nice list.
Best line up ever
I agree with this list. Started collecting from the beginning. Just need that giant man to fund. Got all the legends i want outside of the new ones coming.
Your wish has been granted!🎉🥳
I can’t wait to get my Giant Man next year😄
This I haven’t really thought about what the best Legends X-Men figures are before this video there aren’t as many truly great X-Men figures as there should be.
Loved your presentation! Specially with the 'Wanted' graphic board with the '?' that keeps me guessing who the next character is on the line up.

VHS Cyclops is superior except for the Conan O’ Brien head sculpt.
I can’t unsee it now😂
@@Pearlescent_Toys 🤣 same…and I tried so many time myself
My problem with some of the Wolverine figures is the claws . I love the claws in the X-Force , Powers of X , fire claws ( as close to Astonishing as we have ) and the new 97 fig .
The cheap wobbly loose claws on the triangle , juggernaut , and many others drive me nuts .
Hey love ur top 10 marvel legends videos, can u do avengers heros and then villains?
For sure😄👍
14:15 juggernaut wave gambit 😂 nightcrawler was the one packed with the Wendigo wave
Looks like we were both wrong because Gambit actually came out in the Caliban wave😶
Im expecting/hoping we get a third wave for xmen 97 so I can get hold of a more animated style Beast lol.
So I made sure to look through the comments but I thoroughly enjoyed your video. That being said, domino's first appearance is in one of the only comics I want but dont own is new mutants #93 first appearance of domino, deadpool and gideon.
Very nice my guy. Archangel not on your top 10?
He’s going to show up on the X-Men villains list👀🤫
Want to get NightCrawler for a long time, I agree HasBro should update him as well~
That storm figure is so slept on! My top 3 are: The new deluxe Angel, 97 Wolverine, and Beast. Also please never say gyatt out loud again 😂😂
Also I’m sure you’re even more happy you kept that storm after the latest X-men 97 ep

I love the video but… I would have added Bishop, Jean Grey / Ms Marvel and/or Professor X instead of Domino to the list.
I wish legends would make spy wolverine.
12:07 warlock wave colossus not juggernaut, I only know cause I’m still trying to complete that wave to this day 😂
Thanks👍
You got rid of your other figures of Cable after buying the Sasquatch wave one ?
I just can't do that .
I love the Juggernaut wave Cable more .
The new Zabu wave Cable is better .
That's just my opinion.
I have sold most of my Toybiz figures . Once Hasbro does a version of a character that Toybiz did I sell off the Toybiz versions .
I only have so much space .

Storm looks good with any hairdo imo
Magneto better be here as he’s a hero
Nah
He’s been more hero/antihero in my lifetime. The secret wars in the 80’s had him on the side of heroes
@@slibertas1996 Magneto will be on my top 10 villains list
What about Toad? His Articulation and Posability is AMAZING sad not to see him on the list
Only heroes on this list. There will be a separate video for the villains
Did you lose Beast’s glasses??
Cool list but very biased. I would switch Beast with Logan and Cable with Gambit. Gambit figure in Hasbro edition really suck. it's just decent. Still thanks for sharing.
What wiki are you reading cable is the son of cyclops and Madelyne Pryor
🤷♂️

That Colossus came in a two pack with Juggernaut. There was a different one that did come in that wave, but it was a different design.
Makes a top ten X-Men figures list and puts some of the worst ones in the thumbnail. Jk jk 😅 nice list and good video.

#10 Dom costume, to me, looks awful-clownish some may say.
That's how they draw her in the comics. It's an ode to dominoes and dices. t's a pretty great uniform tbh
