Do Hasbro's X-Men '97 Toys Capture the Toy Biz Magic?

Join Jay as he reviews the new X-Men '97 main retail line from Hasbro. The first wave features 3 Figures, a Vehicle and Figure set and a 14inch tall Sentinel. X-Men '97 looks to recapture that 90's magic, do these toys capture the old Toy Biz magic? Watch this 4k review to find out!

I went to school in Cali with a classmate that shared the first pilot episode in class before it hit TV along with the sketches of all the characters, his uncle was one of the animators. That was one of the best show n tells I ever seen.

that sentinel would probably look good alongside the old 90s ToyBiz x-men figures.

god the nostalgia, I totally forgot I had the wolverine motorcycle until I saw you flip the face

These are fun. You're right, these are very Spin Master. I super miss the Retro 3.75 line though, I hope it comes back for the Secret Wars anniversary.

I can't wrap my head around the fact a 12" Wolverine is $12 but a 14" Sentinel is $23 while Spinmaster is putting out a 12" Batman with twice the articulation for $11, and many of Hasbro's other Titan Hero Series are in that $12 - $15 range. I'm sure most people probably want to get at least 3 for their display to recreate Night of the Sentinels and I agree it does look good enough for that purpose, but to do that $75 after tax feels like I'm getting gouged for what is honestly a very basic figure in a kids line. I'm probably in the minority though based on how hungry people seem to be for ANY sentinel that's not $500 on ebay. Maybe if I saw it in retail I might be swayed, but I'll probably witness the second coming of Christ before I see one in Target or Walmart.

Really fun review! Arcade Nightcrawler & the Tobiz fig were my gateway into X-men also. Stoked for the new show.

Keep passing on Hasbro offerings until they get them right.

Great video! Let's not forget now that Ramen Toy will make a sewer diorama at affordable realistic prices, and we can use it for the Morlocks: 180 shipped with 1K units sold, 150 shipped with 2K units sold.

I really want Hasbro to continue the Epic Series scale figures. There are a lot of characters missing from my 4 inch Marvel Universe collection. Sentinel is just perfect for army building!

thanks for this video. I will be getting the sentinal thanks to this video

Great video Jay!! I’m also super excited for the new X-Men animated series and toys! I too love the Toy Biz X-Men toy line! I have an extensive collection of loose and carded figures. That toy line is so great! I also collect Marvel legends that look similar to the Toy Biz figures. Wish a new Toybiz 5” X-men toyline reboot would happen, kinda like Playmates is doing for TMNT. Question is who would make them, Hasbro?

[@retro_vintage]

I think it's important to note that this is not an exclusive X-Men '97 line, just a wave of the new Epic Heroes line, which shares an annual budget and release calendar with the MCU, Mechasaurs, and general Marvel. It's not meant to be a holistic offering, really, so comparing the selection to the ToyBiz X-Men line seems unjustified.

I've got the 90s Sentinel "playset," but haven't seen this new one instore yet.

[@hardlineray6528]

Hey. I'm late to this video, but do the old toybiz line fit in the x-jet?

[@joeycuriel]

Haha the intro 😎

[@guepardo8648]

First xmen toy biz figure was eric the red from the shiar...i fell on love with that thing...just purchased one still in the the box from ebay.❤❤❤❤❤💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@maximusprime3459]

The regular figures are smaller than 3.75. I have Rogue and shes smaller than the old Marvel Universe 3.75 figures. They are TINY!

The Xjet reminds me of this toybiz vehicle that was released in maybe 98(?) that was just a single seater... wish i could remember the name (maybe it was also called the x-jet. It was cool and I preferred playing with it too the larger Blackbird toy, which i was also luck enough to have. The main problem with the Black Bird was that when you pick it up and move it around it tended to fall apart into its 3 different parts.
