The first preorders for 2017’s first Marvel Legends X-Men wave have gone up at Forbidden Planet over in the UK. With this we not only have their proposed release date of May 10, but we also have official pictures of the entire wave carded and loose as well as the build-a-figure: Warlock. The wave consists of seven figures: Cyclops, Shatterstar, Sunfire, Dazzler, Colossus, Polaris, and Wolverine. Every character but Wolverine in this wave comes with a build-a-figure part to build Warlock.
Wolverine actually comes with a surprising lack of accessories, and by “lack of” I mean not a single one. He’s like the complete opposite of 2016’s Deadpool figure whose box was bursting at the seems with guns, heads, and other stuff. In fact, I’d wager Deadpool alone was packed with more accessories than this entire wave is.
Either way, X-Men! Check out the carded images below:
And the loose shots:
May can’t come soon enough!

I’d have preferred the second Shatterstar costume honestly.
Colossus is pretty much the only one I’m interested in, mostly to pair with Deadpool (thanks to the movie of course). Never really been invested in X-Men, but I’m glad t see that a few of these check off the list of people who do care for the Merry Mutants.
Colossus was the one I had the most doubts about considering I wasn’t familiar with the outfit. However, the inclusion of that bearded head has me so on board with him now.
The first X-Men was was mostly redoing characters that needed it. This one is checking off a lot of characters and looks that haven’t so I dig that.
