Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse is For True Fans

There comes a time when it appears Hasbro is digging too deep.

Hasbro’s Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse lineup drew inspiration by diving deep into the rich history of the X-Men. Did they make the right choice?

We have seen over the years where the right BAF, like Abomination, can make a set attractive. Other times, a bad choice like  Molten Man can really hamper it. Let’s see what Hasbro brought out for this one.

The collection follows the same specs as the previous ones. Each figure will stand six inches tall and have enough articulation. They used images from the comics to draw upon for inspiration. 

The following characters will be included in the set.

• Morph
• Dark Beast
• Wild Child
• X-Man
• Wolverine 
• Sunfire
• Jean Grey
• Sugar Man BAF

 

This is a set that we really wanted to like based on a few of the characters involved. The more we looked over each piece, we realized the entire set is out of the question. First, the design of some of the characters feel out of place. Specifically looking at Sunfire and Wild Child.

Secondly there are some questions about the decisions they made for character selection. Lastly, there are so many things to discuss about Sugar Man but are not even sure where to start. 

In the end, we might pick up Wolverine and Jean Grey. Maybe Dark Beast, but none of the rest. It is a definite hard pass on the BAF Sugar Man.

The Marvel Legends set is available for pre-order and is expected to arrived around June 2020.
