Hasbro Celebrates 60 Years of the X-Men with 3-Figure Legends Set
It was not long ago that we got a whole new wave of Marvel Legends Retro Series X-Men figures. There was definitely a nice set of new and updated characters heading our way with Spiral, Dark Phoenix, and even another Wolverine. However, there was more to that figure than fans expected as an entire wave of Uncanny X-Men in their classic yellow, and blue X-Suits are on the way. It looks like Hasbro is giving Marvel Legends fans more of these Uncanny releases in bundle form with new 3-Pack sets. These figures capture the Uncanny X-Men from issue #275, and the first team has arrived with Banshee, Gambit, and Psylocke.
Each Marcel legends figure is packed with detail, and the matching uniforms are a fun and unique theme. All three mutants will come sixth a variety of swappable parts, with Banshee getting his wingsuit along with swappable hands and secondary screaming head sculpt. Gambit will get his staff, hands, and card-throwing effect, while Psylocke gets hands and her energy sword. The Marvel Legends Uncanny X-Men #275 Gambit, Psylocke, and Banshee set is priced at $77.99 and is set for a Spring 2023 release. Fans can find the set-only fan channel exclusive sites like here and here. To Me, My X-Men!
