Oh yes......to achieve getting the 90s Hasbro X-men.....let's say I've spent a pretty penny or two on some of them in my collection, others I had been VERY lucky to find them in the wild as have we all. I know I sound like a broken record but all I collect is Marvel Legends. I love all things Marvel.

“A lot” is the answer to this question. I’m glad I was able to collect as time went on and never had to spend over retail (besides 1 or 2), only ones I’m still needing is Bishop, sunfire, and shatterstar. They’ve made it prettt easy to complete a decent team with re releases and what not

You are DEAD on about the price ranges! I am SO happy I got all the ones I wanted over the decades! To all those starting their Jim Lee collection....good luck to you!

It's gonna cost probably almost 1000 dollars for a X-Men collection if you're just starting it.

I like the X-MEN because their cool and the way they use their powers, All in all, I think we need an updated of a Jim Lee Beast because the Caliban wave Beast is awesome but he is so pricey, Bishop, Ice Man, Pylocke, Sabretooth which I cannot wait to see along with a re release Mystique with double jointed elbows, Thank you for the video David

My dad still has 380ish OG marvel actions figures since I was a kid. All of the ones you have in the back. I remember he put them on my wall in MY room on a shelf and told me NEVER to touch them.

I always saw that Jim Lee Storm outfit as silver. I already bought it in both white and black, but I'll buy it a third time if they make her in the proper silver outfit. But yeah, most of the '90s X-Men are gonna cost you at least double retail now, at best. Glad I got most of the characters I wanted years ago. But there are a still a bunch of older characters that I'm not willing to spend the money on, like the Blob.

Damn, son! That Gambit impression was perfect!

I have a first lineup classic Avengers collection, I probably won't be getting the X-Men anytime soon

The reason why I started collecting Legends was when they started going all out with X-Men right at the Juggernaut BAF and it's been snowballing since.

i’ve been watching figure channels and such for YEARS, but i’ve only just recently started collecting Legends. Really glad i stumbled across this channel. One of my favorites for sure!

I’m glad I picked up the Apocalypse line with Psylocke and Gambit.

This is a terrific format for a video. I'm a big fan of building teams. So happy to hear that this is a good time to jump in, because I had stopped collecting Marvel Legends for the last few years. I missed out on big ones like Psylocke and Beast. Yesterday I pre-ordered the cartoon Wolverine and Jubilee. I'll be grabbing that new Sabretooth too. It's so frustrating that both the love triangle three pack and the Cyclops & Dark Phoenix TRU pack are so damn expensive.

The retro xforce cyclops and retro iceman make for a GREAT iceman kit bash

I'm almost there with my 90s X-Men collection. Really just need the Jim Lee Psylocke. I've got the Nimrod 3-pack version as a stand in right now. And I need some Multiple-Men to finish my X-Factor team. Trying to hold on to that patience though lol!

Great video Dave! Would love to see more of this series with other teams such as avengers etc

Been preparing and organizing my to get list for a while and all the x teams were a lot to get but this video was definitely a huge help so thank you!

I LOVED THAT GHOSTBUSTERS REFERENCE

Glad I snagged all these when they came out, I love 90's Jim Lee X-Men! I really want a New Spiral to complete a Capcom X-Men video game roster!

Dude I literally laughed out loud at your marvel legends police impersonation! That was so funny. I wouldn’t mind hearing more of that schtick.

Excellent Gambit impression. Wow.

Hair cut looks good man. Now you really look like Henry Cavill. Top marks!

You put this video out right as I'm getting back into Marvel Legends after 15 or so years away... and just so happen to also be trying to assemble an X-Men team. I have a decent collection of early ML X-Men, so I can keep a few of those in the line up until I can wrangle up some newer versions, but this video is a good jump start for my search. Cheers!

I loved this video, I appreciate the different options like including maefex

yo that gambit impression was great. keep it coming mannnn

I started recently to build my my own x-men display i found in local stores in my country a few basic x-men members for descent price - colossus 2pack for 67 euro, rogue 2 pack 40 euro, professor x for 44 euro, nightcrawler+jubilee+retro gambit for 25 each. No bad start for me without to break my bank acount.

* 90s X MEN TAS THEME STARTS PLAYING *

Cool video and very helpful. I recently started collecting figures and comics.

Love the videos brotha keep it up!!!

Gambit accent was dope 😂 and now I only want Mafex... lol wonderful

Man, I'm so glad I have been Collecting since the beginning! I go all the way back to the Toy Biz beginning! I'm currently sitting at 56 X-Men in 4 different Teams, and a small Mansion Defense Team. Now, I divide my Teams based on their original concept rather than the Comics. X-Men are the main team, X-Factor is the Public Face, X-Force is the Lethal Strike Team, New Mutants are actually more like a '21 Jump Street' type, to seek out and protect emerging Mutants.

AMAZING VID DAVE!!!

You forgot Bishop from the Sauron BAF wave!!! Also Psylocke was featured in a few episodes where Apocalypse was trying to capture all the most powerful telekinetic/telepathic mutants in the world.

For some reason I don’t care about the specific eras I just look for characters. I have brown Wolverine, X-factor Cyclops, AoA Rogue and AoA Iceman, and unfortunately the HoX Marvel Grey.

Loved the video, would love to see a version of this style of video covering the Avengers. Keep up the amazing work as always

I am lucky enough to have all of these figures and few that weren't included on the list. I can't wait for them to put out Banshee, so I can have the complete X-Men team. I want all those late 80s thru early 00s characters Skids, Rusty, Marrow, Wraith, Omerta, Bedlam, Perta, Sway etc along with the Generation X gang. I would also love if they did a main line version of Iceman's human form in the 90s costume along with natural wings Angel. Sad well never get X-23's fellow Young -Men classmates.

OMFG your Gambit was actually super legit LOLLL

I found some of these on clearance. I'd say if you want to build a collection, it's too late. Cyclops was 45$ for me, so was jean. Kitty pride and Phoenix were 45. Beast was hard to find in the wild. I found multiple man for 5$ and I've seen how much he goes for now. The select beast is good, but if you're going to do this, spring for the Hasbro beast. Storm needs to be in white. That's what she wore in xmen 1.

I hope Psylocke gets made in the Animated line. I just want her in vibrant matte colors with purple hair! Hasbro can deliver this, surely

I like how you've done your hair, David!

I gotta say... that Gambit impression was pretty decent. That's no easy task. Color me impressed.

First video i see from you. You have the energy of a vintage toy advertising. Such a nice vibe. You sir, have a new follower.

As far as alternative options for Nightcrawler go, you could do worse than the Toy Biz figure. Yeah it's old and the articulation is a bit janky but it's not too expensive and it looks good.

I've been a X-Men fan since 1982 always enjoyed the stories.

Perfect ad within an ad placement

9:38 is me after I see the Model Behavior commercial in the middle of the video. (It was great keep it up by the way)

I don't even want to think about how much it costs as on Earth 616 I have 50 X-Men on 4 different teams. I also have X-Men on Earth 777 and Earth 818.

Great Gambit impersonation :D They should get you to voice act for the upcoming cartoon.

Hey, that was my Apocalypse BAF set that sold on those Ebay listings 😁

Shout out D Amazing 💪🏾

Good show mate since your spoke of the x-men think I'll subscribe 👍

I find it weird that in the Philippines, nightcrawler is pretty much a pegwarmer going about 21usd. Gambit and Rogue in retro card go for abt 30usd to 70usd respectively. But hey, great vid dave!

Amazon UK has had professor X in stock for around £26 lately!

I've been very good at getting figures as soon as they are released. Missed that 1st modern Hasbro Cyclops, but the others I got at retail or made myself. Made a custom for Scott, and that lasted for years. The 3pk comes out; I kitbashed some spare arms from my custom onto the figure with the jacket, and Voila! I do not scalp, so I only go for what I need. I also make customs, so I've pretty much had the complete Jim Lee team for...seven years. Both X-Men teams - Gold and Blue. Got X-Force completed, too. Not salivating for Feral, Siryn etc. I made those a couple of years back. Made my own Banshee, Longshot, Polaris etc. There are ways to have these teams, if you're willing to have some fun searching for bucks, fooder, and customizing.

I got lucky starting with the Rogue and cyclops in the Juggernaut baf. I just switched the face sculpt with the retro card. Now she's perfect.

Sorry I wrote that first comment 3 o'clock at night rocking my baby girl. This was a great video. I started my collection a week ago with .......... Frogman lol. I love it and because of that one awesome figure has started a craving lol I just got in my dark beast and wild child, love them both. I'm working on my display now while I'm waiting for my white knight joker and king shark. Love the video. Great haircut by the way

i wish there was a comic store that would let collectors be a sales guy for the days, would wreak havok but would be fun to see

im a bit lucky. i somehow saw the apocalypse wave via an online store and made a pre order. i wasnt collecting MLs back then. then, i started collecting mid 2020's and got most of these at SRP. got some of them at SRP via restocks too like caliban wave and retro rogue which sold out immediately during first release.

I want to have a 60s-80s marvel collection with the most iconic comic designs

Dude, props on the cajun accent!!!

Your Gambit and American accents are *on point!* 🤣👏🏻 Well done, sir!

I’m going all the way in on the new animated series line. Love the packaging and I hope to see some Morlocks baby! Of course we got Wolvie and then Jubilee, but then Mr. Sinister comes in and makes me think we are going to get a lot of different characters.

Yeah I feel off the band wagon there for a minute. So when I came back back I’ve had to pay to play! But I finished my Jim lee collection. Half was at retail as they came out and the other …… well…. Damn scalpers!! But I want what I want!! Thanks for no accidental inflation!! 😂

I love that ghost buster joke, you should make it your channel trailer

This helped me alot because I have started to collect the x men figures but I can't get a great wolverine i didn't know to get the love triangle or wait for the new one coming out soon so thanks Dave keep up with the great content.

Yooo, dope Gambit voice! Sounds like you've been practicing hah

I have the Marvel Select Psylocke crouched down in my Legends display to fudge the size difference. That’s the cheapest way to get a Psylocke right now.

Great run down of the Jim Lee and animated versions of the X-men. Both of those versions are MY versions, I'm also so lucky and grateful to have pretty much every figure that you've mentioned, including the bad guys. I'm just waiting on my Prof X from Amazon, got a good deal on him. And funny you mentioned the Marvel Select Colossus, I was using him on my classic Xmen shelf for a long time and he scales perfect, but I found a loose 2pack Colossus at a toy shop in Las Vegas with an amazing price, so I snatched him up. Funny story about the love triangle 3pack, I got the Rogue/Pyro 2pack from Hasbro Pulse and the Rogue figure had damage/messed up paint and when I contacted customer service they said they couldn't send a replacement because they were sold out, so they were going to send me a "comparable item" and they freakin sent me the love triangle 3pack! I couldn't believe it

My brother customed his 3 pack Jean and now I’m going for the mafex one

I have the Gold and Blue team, I was able to get everyone except the Warlock wave Cyclops, Now I'm working on a Pryde of the X-MEN team but the cyclops needed is going for crazy prices on the aftermarket.

I love that your preferred Iceman is the one I sold you back in the day 😅😂

Damn and here I am collecting both the Jim lee and the animated line…

I’m so glad I got that white costume Storm at target on clearance for 14.99

Not sure I want to divulge what I paid but my ML collection has 110-plus X-Men related figures plus three Sentinels. Not cheap.

I'm so glad I managed to get my x- men figs when I could at reasonable prices, but damn i just could find a jubilee 😆

Hey like your new cut dude😁

Nice video! Crazy how pricey some of those have gotten. Luckily I grabbed all of the MLs shown when they were released. I even go back to when I first started collecting ML, with the aim to stick to that era of X-Men only, with Beast from the 4th wave and Colossus and Sabretooth from the 5th. Now, here I am 400-something figures later, with a Sentinel, and a Galactus forthcoming. So, I had a full Blue/Gold lineup prior to the more recent do-overs. You did leave out Bishop, if you wanted to fully cover those, beyond the others you didn't get to from the larger X-Men world. His most recent one was in a Deadpool wave. Oh, also, Cyclops was in the Warlock wave, not Apocalypse. I was happy with the Jean we got in the Rocket Raccoon wave, especially since she was long overdue in the JL outfit, but when they topped it with Love Triangle, I had to grab that, too, as well as for the ponytailed look from the 90's cartoon. One more thing, when you're in a video, don't have to actually say "chef's kiss", when we can see and hear you doing it. ;-P

yeah beast is tough... i had to paint the grey beast to blue but hey i kind of like how it came out better than the actual release..i have a short up on my page about it

So for about $1000 I can get a complete team…

11:30 That Marvel/Diamond select is a thing of beauty. Easily my favorite and in my opinion superior to the Marvel Legends version 😎👍

Arrrggghhhh I also tore my Storm cape exactly like that!

Today I was watching The X-Men Animated Series S02E09: A Rogue's Tale and as Rogue is doing her "Aahhhhh get outta my head" thing I couldn't stop laughing because of your videos and how often you bring that up.

So basically i need to be rich. LOL ive been trying to build my Jim lee xmen group since 2020 and im still missing a few. But we need patience, Thanks for the video my man.

I love that you used X Men TV theme orchestra!!! How do you use it? I want to use it for my figures?

That Archangel fig was super easy to get here in my country. The toy stores here over ordered him.

I am stuck rn on my collection! started last November so very new. I can't get the unicorn lol Beast (Caliban) and I haven't got it in me to do the gray beast. Archangel is also really expensive rn so those two are the last remaining I need for my x-men team. I have got some really lucky hits though I somehow picked up nightcrawler (loose) but complete for 19 dollars on Whatnot and found juggernaut (select) for twenty at a flea market. and other than cyclops (3 pack) for 36 dollars and apocalypse baf sabertooth for 39$ I have basically hit retail or below. the hunt is half the fun for me but the beast is killing me haha. gr8 video

Great video! When are those animated series figures going to be available? Is there a link to see them?

I had to pay a good bit for the old Cyclops and got it with two left arms. Quality control was evidently crap back then. Good thing I can sculpt and paint.

the retro rogue headsculpt is even better than the headsculpt of the juggernaut wave rogue

For me it has to be ToyBiz: Storm (white) Colossus, Bishop, beast, gambit, JimLee Cyclops, and the classic iceman (he got rereleased recently so you can go with hasbro)

I finally got them all I just need a sentinel now :( I really hope mafex does them all because they are incredible

I see the retro carded gambit, storm, and rouge all the time local for like $20-30 each

Being an X-Men fan. I'm really glad I was able to pick them all up at regular retail prices. Although, I didn't give any priority to the X-Force 3 pack. Hopefully, it comes back in stock, if not, I just won't have a Rictor. The only ones I overpaid for were the Puck BAF, Emma Frost. Then two better versions, the Wal-Greens & SDCC ones were released. lol Also overpaid for the SDCC Magik, then the Wal-Greens one was released. Yikes! I don't think I got the Puck BAF Jean Grey, but I can't remember. Anyhow, the Love Triangle one trumps it. Sometimes overpaying just doesn't work in your favor. I'd also like 3 more Multiple-Man's. I passed up some, hoping to find them on clearance, it never happened. Other than that, I think I'm good. I'm waiting for that X-Men Amazon 5 pack to go on sale. Also, I need another cheaper white suited alternative body for my Shadow King head. I'm not paying after market prices for another BAF King Pin body.

Everytime you showed a fig, I thought to myself "got em."

My predictions of the animated line (I think they said there will be 10): 1. Wolverine 2. Jubilee 3. Mr. Sinister 4. Beast 5. Cyclops 6. Jean Grey 7. Apocalypse (deluxe) 8. Storm 9. Magneto 10. Morph (finally) I think Gambit and Rogue have been re-released too recently, so the above list would give us the rest of the core team and the main villains.

I recently got Gambit and Rogue for Christmas from my parents and they are AWESOME. I really wish Psylocke and Beast were a little bit cheap, because i really want to complete my X-Men. For the moment, i have Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Iceman and Storm. Hopefully, Hasbro re-release more characters

Lucky me! I started with the XMen with the Warlock wave... When came out Cyke, Rogue, Phoenix & Shatterstar! I have to admit that i feared that hasbro never released the other characters... Well... Here we are after 100+ figures based on the 80's/90's X-Men. Its a little difficilt to get every figure released in my country (México) but... It's part of the fun!!

I am so excited for this line of the animated series of the X-Men I hope we get some of the villains as well I so badly hope they do one of sabertooth we need a good Sabertooth figure apocalypse Omega Red you name it

GameStop has been good for getting figures on sale, especially that storm figure that he showed here. It may not even be there anymore but it was up there and they had it on sale. They have beast the last I looked and there’s others up there too that are non X-men related.

I go with the original Legends X-Men lineup I want cheaper and Beast looks awesome
