The X-Men are going mini in art that recreates the team’s incredible Hellfire Gala attire. The iconic mutant team has had numerous fantastic looks over the years, but these are fabulous. High fashion and mini-forms of the heroes are coming together in an adorable way.
The Hellfire Gala is the X-Men’s premiere event in Krakoa. It is a night where the island is opened up for a big party that brings together special guests, Marvel’s many heroes – mutant and non-mutant alike – and the height of fashion. Already numerous variant covers have been released for the X-Men’s upcoming event. However, some artists are preparing with other kinds of art, such as in the case of Márcio Hum.
On Twitter, artist Márcio Hum shared his rendition of the X-Men’s Hellfire Gala looks. One set is of the team’s newest looks which will debut at the upcoming Gala. The other presents the outfits that they wore to last year’s big event. Hum is known for his “X-Mini” art style, which has been used as a collectible line, known as Mini Co. Collectibles These figures are frequently sold by Iron Studios, a collectible company based in Brazil. These new X-Men “X-Minis” definitely deserve to have the spotlight on them and to come to life.
The first set of X-Men consists of Jean Grey, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Havok, Gambit, Rogue, Ice Man, Magik, Corsair, Wolverine, Synch, and Scarlet Witch. Last year’s set include Emma Frost, Storm, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Colossus, Magik, Kitty Pryde, Captain Britain, Rogue, Angel, Monet, and Rachel Summers throwing back to her days as a Hound. The five repeating heroes all have brand new outfits, though Jean kept hers remarkably similar to the one she had last year. Emma Frost is never to be outdone as she had several outfits at the previous Hellfire Gala. It wouldn’t be surprising to see her have another trio to shift between throughout the evening. Despite being miniature in size, this artistic rendition doesn’t disappoint in terms of detail, capturing the different elements that make each hero stand out.
Márcio Hum created the Universe Mini and X-Mini iterations of pop culture characters, including the X-Men and numerous Marvel and DC heroes. This art is beautiful and would make for an incredible line of figures for fans to collect. The Hellfire Gala is a huge event in the X-Men’s new society, providing an innovative way for Krakoa’s inhabitants to exhibit their powers. It lets them show off what makes them each unique by incorporating their abilities and special features into their evening attire, as well as their classic color schemes. The X-Men’s costume history keeps getting new layers and fun throwbacks with the Hellfire Gala, so it’s only fitting for beautiful art like this to highlight the exceptional styles in similarly fun new ways.
