Comic Statues & Busts: Marvel Legends Rogue from Marvel Legends

MARVEL UNIVERSE ROGUE UPPER CUT PUNCHING ACTION

The X-Men Legends Gift Pack has five action figures: The Beast Wolverine Gambit Magneto Rogue The Rogue figure is only available in this gift pack. What's different from the single-packed figures? The Wolverine and Magneto figures have new head sculpts, Gambit has a new coat, and the Beast has a new coat and new glasses. WARNING: contains small parts not for children under 3 years.

This is a pretty good gift pack except there are too many repeats. One can only have so many wolverine, beast and cambit in one's collection. On the plus side, if you are a avid customizer of ML stuff, you can certainly use the spare parts!

Rouge- Not for me. Good only for a collection. Can't stand right.

Gambit- O.K., not real good but not bad either. Very posable.

Wolverine-Preety good. His claws tend to bend sometimes.

Beast- Great, absolutley great. Won't fall down unless you want him to. He looks great. One of the 2 best in the pack.

Magneto- The other best in the pack. His suit is awesome. Good posability, but not so much where he will fall over, just like Beast.

I've bought quite a few action figures in my day, but this is only the second Marvel Legends set that I've purchased. The first set was the "Urban Legends" set that featured Daredevil, Punisher, Spidey, and Elektra. That set was okay, but this X-Men Legends pack is heads and tails above it. First of all, it combines many of my favorite mutants in one set at a low price. I've got Nightcrawler from "X-2" and now I need to get my hands on a good Cyclops figure. Anyway, this set is really nice.

Now, here's a breakdown of the good and bad of each figure:

Beast-The best figure in the set. The lab coat and glasses are a nice touch, but what I really like is how easy it is to pose the big guy. You even have the option of opening or closing his mouth. Nothing too wrong with this figure.

Gambit-Almost as good as Beast. His trenchcoat is really nice, and his bo and charged playing cards are a plus. The only bad thing about this figure is that Gambit doesn't hold his cards very well.

Magneto and Wolverine-I lumped these two together because both of them are pretty nice figures. I especially love Magneto's cape. Wolverine's claws were a little bent when I took him out of the box, but with a little work they should be okay. Both of these figures are very poseable, and Wolverine strikes a nice pose on his display stand. I prefer displaying Magneto holding his helmet instead of him wearing it, because the helmet doesn't fit him quite right on the figure I received. It keeps popping up and sits at an odd angle on his head.

Rogue-Unfortunately, the worst figure in the bunch. As with Elektra in the "Urban Legends" pack, she just has too many points of articulation. I'd rather a well-crafted figure with less moving parts than a flimsy one with too many. Overall, the figure isn't too terrible, but her wrists and forearms are weak and she isn't that easy to pose. She's still worth buying the set, however.

The poster book is a nice touch, and the display stands actually fit the characters, unlike the ones in the "Urban Legends" pack.
This set is a really good buy at a budget price. It's great for beginners and folks who want to collect as many of their heroes as possible for as little cash as possible.

Marvel Legends X-men legends box set is well worth the price. If you haven't picked this set up you really should. These modified reissues are almost new figures altogether.
Gambit - the pleather coat is great and captures the true "spirit" of the character. I'm glad I didn't buy the single carded version. This one is WAY better.
Beast - The accessories are a keeper here. The glasses and lab coat allow a great figure to become even that much better.
Magneto - The new head sculpt with the helmet on looks like it came right out of a Jim Lee Comic. A definite improvement over the single card release that was perfect.
Rogue - She's the exclusive. While I'm not too keen on the head sculpt, (She looks a tad rough. I prefer softer feminine facial features on my female figures like Bbi's Cy-Girls) It's great to have another Female Legends figure. She looks like she stepped off a comic page.
Wolverine - The disappointment of the box set. He's too tall, his head comes off and he looks like he's screaming. If you really need an unmasked Wolverine, get the chase.

I mowed my lawn for a month just to buy this. This is a great start to any x-men of marvel collection. The Magneto looks awsome, really evil. rouge's face is too old looking and her "backside" is a little, strange. and while I was taking her out of the package her hand came off, but I glued it back on and its fine now. Beast looks like he came right out of the comic, though I can't tell if his mouth is able to move or not. Gambit is my favorite, I was surprised to see his pole in the box, the cards he came with were no big surprise though. Wolverine was sort of a dissapointment, it should have come with colosus or someone who is a bigger part of the x-men (I just like collosus the best and I am sorry if I spelled that wrong.) It hurt my eyes to read the other reviews. that person who bought this set for there kid was asking for it, any one can tell the x-men are'nt food and you should'nt buy this for a very young kid. I especially liked this set because it is part of the marvel legend set. when I first heard of this collection I almost died of happiness. I really did not know what kind of action figures to collect but when I discovered these I knew in an instant.
Thank You.
