X-Men Monster Armor

X-Men Monster Armor


Rogue

Wolverine

Mr. Sinister

Mystique

Cyclops

An interesting series to say the least. Each figure featured clip on monster armor (shown above). The only new character was the inclusion of Mystique who had only appeared in the 10" line as a repaint of the original Rogue figure. The Mystique figure came with a skirt not shown in these publicity photos.

Rogue is pictured in an outfit that is similar to the one represented in the Age of Apocalypse storyline. However, her hairdo is from the real continuity making for a somewhat mixed presentation. An "official" Rogue from the AoA was released in an Toys 'R' Us exclusive Classic Couples two-pack with the previously unreleased Gambit from the Age of Apocalypse series. The figure in that two pack was simply a repaint White Queen (from the Generation X line of figures). Neither version really captures the essence of Rogue during the Age of Apocalypse when she was Magneto's main squeeze.

While the sculpts are fairly nice, the stances are awkward to say the least. Rogue and Cyclops look like they could be in a disco contest.

Overall, this series seems to be fairly nice. At least the monster armor was completely removeable.
