Kitty Pryde joined Professor Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters. Kitty spent a great deal of time training. During her first training session in the Danger Room, Kitty easily walked through a scenario that took Professor Xavier weeks to program. Kitty quickly became a valuable member of the X-Men, proving her worth one Christmas Eve by single-handedly defeating one of the demonic N’Garai. Kitty formed a close friendship with both the X-Man Storm and the mutant sorceress Illyana Rasputin.

Marvel Legends Kitty Pryde
Pros
Great deco
Solid head sculpt and painted face
Cons
None
Overall
Kitty Pryde is another strong showing for this wave of X-Men Marvel Legends. While not in my top tier of X-Men favorites, she turned out nice with a really good head sculpt and paint apps on the face. Since the X-Men are my #1 favorite team in the Marvel Universe I am glad Hasbro decided to put her out.
First up is Deadpool!

I don't get the taco.
Deadpool, Wolverine and Rogue will be the only 3 I get. Pretty disappointed in the rest, especially Jean Grey, her prototype image looks amazing, but the final product not so much.
Shartimusprime did bring up a very logical comment in his review about the brow wrinkles on the masked head of Deadpool though, showing the inconsistency over the squinted eye vs. the wide open one. The wrinkles go up on the wrong side and down on the open eye when it should've been reversed. But it's a minimal complaint and hard to notice I supposed, but still a valid point. Not sure how that wasn't better thought out.
Seen the majority of the reviews for this wave, things could be better, but thinking about it its hasbros first proper sized x-men wave with spider-man and avengers standing next to them. 8 x-men related characters alone is nice sight from hasbro. I think they did a small budget on this wave maybe or medium not full, that's why some figures might be mediocre.
I pre-ordered this wave and still looking forward to receiving them all including wolverine! I bought this wave in hopes of a Kick-starter for hasbro for future x-men waves and maybe get the same treatment or better as the avenger figures, the avengers first movie wave was a Walmart exclusive, now look at them.
So hasbro make more x-men and give me a modern beast and a new storm! I dont normally pre-order items unless i think they are going to be good.
I'm not really a Hasbro collector anymore, so I don't really have a horse in this race. That being said, the new Legends figures are pretty much only good for their articulation and overall wide selection of the Marvel roster. Every review I've seen for this wave has had paint slop galore (which is funny, because they skimped out on using a lot of paint on most of these figures), derp eyes, weird sculpts and everything in-between.
I feel like, at the moment, Legends would be a decent-ish line if you want a collection that includes tons of selection from the Marvel roster, but as it stands all of these horrible QC issues (of which it's mind blowing that they're still around with the most recent waves) puts this line at total mediocrity for me in terms of quality.
Phoenix is my most wanted toy because, well, it's Phoenix. Phoenix has been one of my favorite X-Men characters since I saw her in the cartoon as it was the first time Jean became some more than just the token love interest.
Deadpool, Wolverine, and Kitty Pryde are who I'm picking up from this wave. While I'm sure Kitty will be peg warming like a mofo, there's little doubt that Wolverine and ESPECIALLY Deadpool will be nigh impossible to find at retail.
Man, this thread just starts out salty
Can't wait to have Wade in-hand. He's actually the figure I want the least out of this wave, but he looks fantastic and his accessories are killer.
And hey, when in doubt, pinky out. Even with tacos.
I really need to see how this Juggernaut compares to the Marvel Select one. That would be the only thing that could get me to buy the wholes set. But here's to hoping I can save some money :P
Deadpool looks great. Not a Marvel guy but grabbing him. The rest of the wave looks awesome, but I'm not an X-Men dude.
However, I would be lying if I didn't say the movie has lifted my dislike for him a bit as I enjoyed that a lot. Not enough to want to go read his comics though or not be sick of seeing so many cosplayers of him, but at least enough to want the new figure. Plus, it could be fun to insert him into pictures I take with my figures.

Oh, well. I'll live.
Not a Deadpool fan, I see.
Of course they're not perfect. Some of the figures could have used an accessory here and there, but that's not exclusive for the X-Men and really a wider problem with all of Hasbro's Marvel Legends waves in general.
Next up is Wolverine!

Great shots, nice and clean. I want that Wolverine, but will wait for a blue/yellow variant.
Awesome!
But yet another figure I'll never see in person. And if I ever do, there will be something wrong with the paint or the claws will be warped.
Great pics! This has been my favorite look for Wolverine since I was a kid. I actually like the expression on him since I have the old Toy Biz version. What makes this one way better to me is the claws. Unlike the Toy Biz version, I have yet to see one of these with warped claws. The older ones were always warped, even trying to straighten them was a joke. I gotta have this.
You won't have and warping problems with these claws. Each Claw part can be removed from the fist and popped back in. This is going to be the default Wolverine for everybody. Don't pass if you want him and see at the store. Scalper city on this one.
Sucks how Wolverine and Deadpool are going to be hard to get because of the scalpers grabbing them up. Recently I've been noticing that someone in my area is cutting out the front plastic of the figures and taking out the figure or the build a figure part. It's really ridiculous.
Got to agree with Distro. This figures look neat to add on to the collection.
