These X-Men Figures From Mondo’s Comic-Con Booth Are Must-Haves

Update: Check out the first images and and teams from X-Men 97 revealed during the Marvel Studios Animation panel a San Diego Comic-Con 2022!

New X-Men: The Animated Series figures featured at Mondo’s San Diego Comic-Con booth are must-haves for any fan. First unveiled in Marvel comics in the 1960s, the X-Men have since become a major feature in the superhero landscape. The iconic team of mutants first made their big-screen live-action debut in 2000’s X-Men, a film that was a hit with both audiences and critics. A sequel, X2, was released in 2003, which was then followed by the divisive X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006.

Before the famed superhero team appeared in live-action, however, X-Men: The Animated Series brought the characters to life on the small screen. The beloved series ran from 1992 to 1997, and featured the likes of Wolverine, Professor X, Storm, Jubilee, Magneto, Cyclops, Rogue, Beast, Gambit, and many more. Although the show has been over for basically 25 years now, it was announced in 2021 that the series would be getting rebooted for Disney+ in the form of X-Men ’97. The show is expected to release on Disney+ at some point in 2023, with additional announcements possible at Marvel’s SDCC animation panel.

Ahead of possible announcements regarding the animated X-Men revival, however, some members of the iconic superhero team are getting some new merchandise. As tweeted by SR‘s own Rob Keyes (and captured in close-up detail by Screen Rant‘s official Twitter account), Mondo’s SDCC booth has four figures on display, including Wolverine, Jubilee, Magneto, and Gambit. Check out some images of the must-have figures below:

While the characters’ plaques reveal that Wolverine and Jubilee are both available on the Mondo website, it looks like fans will have to wait a little longer for Magneto and Gambit, with launch dates for the figures set for this August and 2023, respectively. The X-Men action figures featured at the shop’s SDCC booth capture the characters’ comic-accurate looks, a stark contrast to how the heroes appeared in the live-action films. The Wolverine figure, in particular, looks very different from Hugh Jackman’s live-action counterpart, with the distinct yellow suit not having made an appearance in the films just yet.

As with other Mondo collectibles, it’s likely that demand for the X-Men figures will be high. With possible announcements incoming regarding X-Men ’97, it’s likely that many Marvel fans will revisit X-Men: The Animated Series and find themselves on the lookout for some show-accurate merchandise. While those in attendance at SDCC will get a chance to admire the impressive figures for themselves, the figures do appear to be must-haves for anyone that grew up watching X-Men: The Animated Series or those who are excited about Disney+’s upcoming reboot.
