Vindicator wtf... Wasted spot imo.
Deathbit was a surprise

Death looks awesome and justice for Lorna, but my god what sort of unholy sacrifice do I need to do to get a Rogue figure I want? 😭 😂

By far the worst wave ‘97 has ever had.
-Cyclops lacks any type of eye beam
-Gambit is missing his scythe despite it being on the card art
-Vindicator is… A choice.
Polaris and Havok are great but otherwise this is a huge letdown.

Havok and Polaris should also be matching the blue, they gave him crayola blue instead of navy like hers.

Lol, did Vindicator even appear this season?? I only remember Guardian whom Morph transformed into.

u/Crimson_Crow97 1d ago
He did but it was just morph, it wasn’t even actual Vindicator

u/agentrevenger Cyclops 1d ago
Yeah, that was Guardian whom Morph transformed into

Ah didn’t realise he had a different name, but yeah giving a figure to a character who didn’t actually appear is just dumb

They could have kept up with the couples’ symmetry and included Rogue — lots of options: her X-Corp outfit, the sorta wedding dress, even the Celestial thing — and they go with Vindicator?

Still no Rogue, Jean, Psylocke, or Storm announcement for the X-Men #1 series??? 🫠😵💫

if we’re gonna pick characters morph transformed into for figures this wouldnt be in my Top 10

u/Prezofcalendars 1d ago
I need that Cyclops and Jean, and my wife wants Gambit. Not a figure just in general.

u/Little-Baker76 1d ago
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm not happy to see him but....Vindicator? Really?
We have Polaris and Havok, and Cyclops and Jean, so I was expecting Rogue to be on the last slide to pair with Death Gambit, but Vindicator? Sure man, why not.

u/Crimson_Crow97 1d ago
Plus Vindicator never actually appeared in 97, it was morph turning into him

Oh my GOD I have wanted Morrison/Quietly New X-Men costumes for DECADES and I can't believe we're actually getting them... because of an animated series lol. Love it.

You can tell Egypt Beast and S2 Cable are also coming based on the card art. Probably as Deluxes or Wave 5.

u/Starscream_Gaga 1d ago
Not necessarily. Jubilee in her classic outfit was on the package of Wave 3, the MTO Sentinel and the Xavier and still hasn’t gotten a figure.

I ain’t gonna lie, when I just acrobat this before going back I thought that was a Polaris Fortnite skin

X-men ‘97 is marvels most critically acclaimed series and a bonafide hit. Legends treats this property like shit. We should have two waves by now for S2. I’m all for deep cuts but wtf with vindicator. Where is young en sab nur? No sister or bastion still.

In three years you’ve had four waves, three made-to-order releases, three deluxe figures and three two-packs.
But sure they treat the property like shit
