Marvel Legends Giant Sized All New X-Men

Oops! Published this without finishing. All done now.

Since Hasbro recently gave us a new Nightcrawler and Colossus, I thought it would be fun to scrounge up all the characters from the reboot of the X-Men. In the late 60s/early 70s, the original X-Men titles had gotten stale and many of the issues from 67-93 were reprints of earlier stories.

In 1975, the X-Men were rebooted with the Giant Sized All New All Different X-Men. The original X-Men were missing so Professor X went looking for a new group. He gathered heroes from all over the world.

Storm from Africa, Colossus from Russia, Nightcrawler from Germany, Wolverine from Canada, Banshee from Ireland, and Thunderbird...a Native America. A global all-star cast.

Over the years, we saw Toybiz make a box set with its 5 inch figures, and Hasbro made a set for the Marvel Universe 3-3/4 inch line.

Here is a comparison from the different lines.
