New Marvel Legends X-Men 97 Wave 3 Morph Revealed

I'll definitely pick this up.. the Marvel Legends VHS Animated X Men Morph price have gone thru the ROOF lately.. I'll also pick up Jubilee since I was never able to pick one up at a decent price..I did see a KO on AliExpress that looked good for about $27.. but that should be about the same as the official Marvel Legends X Men 97 wave 3 Jubilee..I'll pass on the rest..Im happy with my Astonishing X Men Emma Frost..as well as my Zabu BAF wave Cable...& I'm pretty sure I'm good as far as casual Logans.. Lastly..does anyone really believe that this reveal was an "ACCIDENT"??

This is it then. If a good White Queen-style Emma Frost is coming, I will have gotten far more out of Marvel Legends in the last two years (Ms. Marvel, Dark Ms. Marvel, and the White Queen) than I ever could have imagined.

Bring on those preorders!

Hell yeah. It would be amazing if they gave us a translucent one in diamond form.

Uhull!! I was crossing fingers to have some X-Men stuff this week and here they are!! Morph was already a yes for me, specially now with that Gyrich head. Looking forward to see the rumored Sunspot now!

It's hard for me to get excited for a third X-Men '97 wave despite buying all figures in the first 2 waves except the 2nd Magneto. I also pre-ordered two of those X-Men '97 made to order Sentinels.

Morph was always going to be the most interesting of the leaked/rumored group to me, but including the Gyrich head seals it for me. I have the other animated VHS Morph and the AOA version but this one looks great. That Gyrich head will almost certainly be going on the Hoverchair Charles suited body since Savage Land Chuck has taken residence in the hoverchair for me.

Assuming that these are going to be all pinless, I'llprobablyend up getting Emma and Jubilee. Maybe Cable as well. Logan and Sunspot seem less likely for me unless they're heavily discounted. Sunsport would almost have to come with powered up parts for me to be interested. We'll see. I'd just really like to see characters never made in the Legends line before and it doesn't sound like there's going to be any of that. The Gyrich head might be as close as we get, and I am grateful for that at least.

It's good looking figure but it seems to me it goes little too much with animated proportions and style, while previous figures were something in between of traditional legends style and animation, which was done for the obvious reasons of making old ML body parts fit in but this Morph is way closer to Spider-Verse cartoons.

Looks really good, though can't really see me double dipping

Oh that Morph is kinda nice, it's Animated so doesn't really fit in my collecting criteria, but it kinda feels like a good grab, I mean I already have a Morph, but this one kinda feels so Iconic.

I like it. I like that he's sort of skinny and youthful.

Can probably make your own Henry Gyrich figure using the head here with the Professor X Suited body

Animated skin tones tend to be brighter and not match that well with other figures (as I've learned a few times).

Never could get fully on board with shape shifters coming with someone else's face...like Morph's body with Gyrich's head, or Zartan's body with Snake Eyes's mask...they just look silly.

Now, maybe if it was a face transitioning between the two, and throw in some transitioning arms, that would be cool and make some sense. Like those old movie transformers that were scanning alt modes. The back half of the vehicle was translucent with grid lines, and the front half was solid colours.
