X-Men (2000) Action Figure Retrospective

To me, my x-men... movie action figures

24 years ago, one of the most significant comic book movies of all time, was released, 2000 "X-Men". The film, alongside other early CBMs, is credited for revitalizing the superhero genre in Hollywood, and paving the way for more notable films and franchises, such as Marvel Studios's "MCU". ToyBiz, who had the Marvel license, tackled the movie in the toy market and offered many iconic yet now outdated figures. For most, the fans of characters from the first film were stuck with representation from this original wave, until the 20th anniversary of the film, when Marvel Legends released their legacy line of characters.

In this video, I look at ToyBiz and Hasbro's Marvel Legends offerings of the characters from X-Men (2000).

Okay, wow, 35+ minutes?!??! YES I know, this video is a big one, but that's because there was just so many things to talk about!! While the X-Men movies, for the most part, aren't the best, I thoroughly enjoyed some of the original batch of films and was happy to take a look at the figures of the time.
