With all the love Spidey's been getting in Marvel Legends, I thought I would make an X-Men list just to be different. I mean, how many times can I say that I NEED 90s Kaine?
So, I'll go to X-Men in order to avoid Fantastic Four, which means Bagman and Power Pack.
30: Toad:
The one who hasn't been touched since ToyBiz wave 1. The seemingly modded Doc Ock body gives me hope for a Toad.
29: Avalanche:
We haven't had a True to the comics Classic Avalanche, so We NEED ONE ti complete A version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
28: Blob:
Notice a theme with these 3, Brother? I'm trying to get Mystique's Brotherhood and getting most of Magneto's original Brotherhood done. Also, BAF Blob needs an upgrade.
27: Destiny:
You KNEW she was coming. She's also theoretically easy for Hasbro.
26: First appearance Rogue:
This one I'd like to see on a 2 pack with a Warbird rerelease. (Toss in a Danvers in pain head to simulate the touch by Rogue.)
25: Piotr Rasputin: (Non-Metal form)
For the same reason people want Legs on Cannonball... Hell, Toss Cannonball's legs with him for kicks! He'd also be great for my next pick.
24: Shadowcat:
I will keep asking for the blue Ninja Kitty Pryde, because it's an iconic look for her.
23: Armored Psylocke:
Back when Betsy Braddock wasn't in Kwanon's body, she wore a pink and purple armored suit. I want that look.
22: Spiral:
2 reasons: we need an updated Spiral and updating her may open the doors for a new Mojo... Sure, the ToyBiz one is near perfection, but I don't think Hasbro can improve on him by a
21: Longshot:
See what I did there? We have his Dad/Son, so we need Shattersrar's Son/Dad. Also we have Dazzler... two of her in fact and no Longshot, outside of ToyBiz.
20:Lilandra:
We were teased with her head by Walgreens. We NEED THE FULL FIGURE! That's it.
19:Exodus:
If we were to get a Single Acolyte of Magneto, this one is The One.
18:Husk:
Cannonball's little sister. IIRC Angel dated her for a bit. Trying to get some Generation X into the line.
17: Generation X Jubilee:
Again, just pushing some Generation X love. A nice reuse of the female Gen X parts and Jubilee (jacket, biceps)
16: Skin:
Just like the previous 2 I'm adding him to have some Generation X love. ALSO he can reuse Reed's pervy fingers.
15: M:
Monet St. Croix, yet another member of Generation X. I'm talking about the gestalt of the M-Twins, not Penance. Mostly, because she can be made with most of the GenX parts and she deserves a better deal than a Husk 2 for one extra head.
14: Synch:
Since Skin would have a differently colored body, I couldn't do a 2 for one with him, so Synch had to take up an extra slot.
13: Banshee:
You had to know he was coming. How can I suggest most of Generation X and not have one of the HMs? Him, I'd want as a deluxe figure:
4 heads (2 Classic and 2 Gen X heads. Each would get Normal and screaming heads)
Flight Stand
12: Shard:
Bishop's sister turned holographic projection. (*Nudge nudge wink wink*) easy Pulse Exclusive, clear blue Shard with metallic accents as a hologram... you're welcome! Getting a normal Shard for the "alternate future" displays would look cool.
11: Feral Wolverine:
One of Marvel's greatest miatakes from the 90s... I want him, period.
10: Classic Apocalypse:
Literally, repaint the BAF in classic colors. Maybe toss in a reference to X-Men vs Street Fighter with a brand new Drill arm.
9: COTA-94 SENTINEL:
I think some parts from the Kree Sentry BAF could be a nice starting point. This dhould be a "deluxe" single release.
8:Marrow:
One of the newer characters who got some crazy push in the 90s was Marrow and since she even made it to a MVC game, she deserves a figure. She too needs to be a "deluxe figure" due to her abilities. Thinking interchangeable arms (one with bone spikes, one without) multiple heads with different degrees/styles of bones poling out, detachable bones from her back.
7: Time Displaced X-Men 5-pack:
It MAY Feel like cheating but it's better to have them in a 5-pack than occupying 5 slots.
6: Dr. Cecilia Reyes:
Rather easy to make and as around in the late 90s, so this makes her desirable in my eyes... and no, her having a Puerto Rican origin is not reason enough for me to want one.
5: Graydon Creed:
I know what you're thinking: He's a normal guy in a suit... So was Chameleon and he was made appealing by adding 2 extra heads. I'll suggest the same thing and add a Senator Robert Kelly head and a Henry Peter Gyrich head. The latter can also be used on Avengers Displays.
4: Forearm:
No reason other than Dude has 4 arms. No really. Also, the #4 spot goes for the dude that has 4 arms.
3: Callisto:
Former Morlock leader And Rival to Storm.
2: Lady Deathstrike:
ToyBiz mistakes need to be corrected.
1:Madelyne Pryor:
This one would be a Pulse Exclusive, of course.
There you have it 30 X-Men toys I'd like to see in Marvel Legends.
