I think the head swap is an improvement.
"They gave Magneto that Nazi Red Skull's legs!"
"And this offends you as a Jewish person?"
"No, it offends me as a toy collector!"
I never really cared too much about about Doug Ramsey. As much as I've come to like some of the characters later, I never really got into the New Mutants at the time. But I started to realize I've been getting quite a few of the New Mutant just by accident lately.
NOTE: Some teams will have characters missing. Other characters I actiually do have multiple figures. I just chose my favorite.
Out of the box. Really just looks like a generic blonde guy. A few years from now, I wonder if I'll even recognize it as Dough Ramsey.
New Mutants
Kitty was only a member for a couple issues as far as I know. She was punted to the New Mutants, whined about it for an issue and then was put back onto the X-Men roster. I'm still counting it.
And yes, technically The New Mutants had changed its name to X-Force before Feral joined. I'm still counting it.
Excalibur
Colossus and Wolfsbane may have joined really late in the life of the original run, but they were on the roster. So I'm counting them.
X-Men Blue Team
I'm only missing Beast and Gambit as far as I remember. But that seems to mean this is my most complete roster.
X-Men Gold
It seems Age of Apocalypse is the only figure I have of Jean. The Colossus from the Kitty 2-Pack is the only one of him I have. I have an X-Men '97 Storm with the white costume, but I always preferred her original costume.

Biblically accurate MCU Mandarin.
I just love how they're using "techno-organic sword" as a selling point, like it does anything or is physically any different from any other toy sword to come packaged with one of their figures.

Is that a Donnie Yen head?
I thought the exact same thing tbh.
No, it's the head from the Mandarin from the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ML wave, played by Tony Leung.
The retro card Marvel Legends are really fun because they're replicating those Toy Biz cards down to the smallest detail... but whereas those had action features to call out... the Hasbro ones don't. So it's just random nonsense. I think a Ben Riley retro card just said "WEB SHOOTERS!"
Well, technically, they probably could get away with saying they included a whole second character with that Cypher toy. Since they could just say that sword is Warlock, Because that's basically what happened in X of Swords.

Of all the swords the X-Men used in X of Swords, how do they rank?

Cypher never had a sword during the New Mutants run, IIRC. They included Warlock as a sword because a straight up New Mutants Doug wouldn't have much in terms of accessories. Maybe... like... some books? But the sword is a nice easter egg to give him something action-y.Well, technically, they probably could get away with saying they included a whole second character with that Cypher toy.

More fun with Marvel Legends retro card call-outs.

I don't know if you have the figures to pull it off, but I just had this image of X-Men '97 Xavier mourning his Magneto while Fox Movie Magneto mourns losing his Xavier.
Sadly, no. I don't have either an X-Men '97 or live action Xavier. The only one I have is the Savage Land one Target got as an exclusive like a year ago.
