Growing up on his parents’ farm, Piotr Rasputin saw his older brother Mikhail become a Cosmonaut. Mikhail was later discovered to be a latent mutant with energy warping powers, and to keep him secret the government faked his death. In later years, Piotr learned that he too was a mutant, and could transform his flesh into steel, but he was content to use his powers to help his fellow farmers. When a transformed Piotr rescued his sister Illyana from a runaway tractor, he was approached by Professor Charles Xavier, who was recruiting mutants for a new team of X-Men to help save his original students from the sentient island Krakoa. Dubbed Colossus by Xavier, Piotr reluctantly joined this new team, which freed the original X-Men and helped defeat Krakoa. After the battle, Piotr remained with the X-Men in America, though he found it difficult to adjust to living in a different culture.

Marvel Legends X-Men Wave Colossus
Pros
Awesome character
Good classic head sculpt and deco
Cons
I do not know what comic run that hipster beard alt head sculpt comes from but I really don’t like it.
Overall
Colossus a major player on the X-Men team and always a welcome sight when Hasbro puts out new core X-Men. The figure has stunted ability to crack poses but it’s Colossus so you don’t expect him t be flying around like Spider-Man. Although the hipster beard head is sculpted with skill it’s an awful look, don’t know what run that comes from but looking at it makes me angry. That aside this figure is not going to sit around lone and it’s another solid X-Men figure to add to the shelf.
