XCUTE! Marvel Legends X-Men '97 X-Cutioner Hasbro Animated Series Action Figure Overview

[@marvelcraftgamer4086]

Fun fact, while he doesn’t appear in the amalgam comics, X-cutioner is briefly mentioned in the universe as a fusion with Deathstroke named “X-Stroke”.

[@Figuristic]

That's pretty interesting. The fusion with Deathstroke sounds awesome, but the name almost doesn't sound right, lol.

I thought Slade was crossed with Silver Sable(?) for that lady mercy book? (Selina + Elektra = CatSai)

I just watched episode 2 of X-Men 97 that that plastic that covers the gun is not supposed to be removed it's part of its design😅

[@ultramagneticlion2147]

That year he debuted in comicbooks, Marvel ran the gimmick of polybagging the annuals with trading cards of the new characters featured in the story. His is about the best out of all those annuals. Amazing art by Chris Sprouse and a badass Boba Fett-like mean streak in that first appearance. What made X-Cutioner cool is that he'd always spring some weapon or contraprion feom the lore of X-Men to hunt them down.

[@joselitopuzon5620]

A single Marvel legend review from Robo. What a very rare occasion 😂

[@CouchCit]

This guy looks like he couldn't make a decision on what to wear, so he just said Yes to everything

[@DesperadoDingo]

Not wrong. Carl Denti was a former CIA or SHIELD guy who stole a bunch of random tech from the government's villain evidence lock up to become a mutant hunting vigilante. I only ever saw him twice in fleeting panels, but I remember that. I think some of the tech was alien, even Shi'ar.

[@TheSteelGuy]

He is meant to be a regular human, so it makes sense he's a bit shorter than all the supers.

[@huntingwolf20]

For some reason this review and hearing Robo talk about X-men and talking about the design and maybe changing it a bit makes me miss being part of the Fwoosh community really bad.

[@SeanBeanie4191]

I love his F**K Outta Here belt buckle.

[@eyhtwozed2606]

Its Friends of Humanity but you probably already know and meant it as a joke

I'm surprised with how well X-Cutioner articulates, thought he'd just be another traffic cone. Also I'd love a guide/playday for how to elongate the classic X-Men '97 Magneto's torso. I've seen some people use milliput but was curious how you would go about it.

[@Getwright-]

I wish for this line especially, with its slightly more kid friendly appeal, would put some bios or a free comic (or even a mini comic) with each figure

[@SupernintendoChalmers0]

Probably won't happen

[@hunterborne2763]

Hey robo. It’s been almost 3 and a half years since you updated us on your Star Wars collection. And as a newer Star Wars collector I’d love nothing more than to see your display and what figures did and didn’t make the cut!

[@danijelilic1599]

I rewatched xmen 97. And i noticed that little plastic clear part that covers the tip of the gun in the packaging, is actuall a part of the gun in the show. So make sure no to lose that part

[@BaranKRool]

X-CUTIONER IS CUTE!! CUTE!

[@alvin12822]

[@ChuckSeville]

Sharp intro! I, too, know very little about this guy, but he definitely gives off "Megaman X character" vibes. I'm a fan of the show, and looking forward to '97, but I think I'm more excited about a potential 3rd wave for Jubilee, Morph, and whoever else they've kept under wraps.

[@Moonbase3]

I don't think I've ever read a comic with this guy in it, but I knew who he was from the old Toybiz figure and the Fleer trading cards. I remember being confused when I read X-Cutioner's Song for the first time (one of my first trade paperbacks in the 90s along with X-Tinction Agenda and, *sigh* , Maximum Carnage) and discovered that the character had nothing to do with that story.

[@11mcglothlincr]

His height might be fine, he clocks in at 6'1", magneto is 6'2", and cyclops is supposed to be 6'3" though they basically never scale him right. Those are minute differences that wouldn't really come across in a hasbro line, but works for me.

[@RoboDontKnow]

Yeah, the height ended up not being a problem at all, but the head size makes it stick out.

[@rustybuckets2143]

I would be so tempted to customize this into Reaper from Overwatch

[@Nin_the_Shinobi]

I think Hasbro already made one

[@something_els3]

@@Nin_the_ShinobiNot a good one.

[@atmaanu4825]

I know every figure comes with, "don't put these things in your mouth". What if i cook it first? Now can i put it in my mouth? Does it taste so good that if i ever put it in my mouth i would never want to take it out?

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I only know the name of the story where this guy debuted and almost nothing about him as a character, but I've always dug his name. Plus, he's such an X-cutey! (Sorry) Dug how they did the jacket, and this looks like a good addition to the X-villains shelf, especially as a non-mutant. I'll take it!

[@ThatGuyStephen-zx7pc]

Gun cannon looks like Buzz lightyears dad hooked this guy up

[@wheeljoker]

The bigger question is what is that Space Ghost?

[@tolinrabando8435]

Maybe put a MOTU torso on 97 magneto since they're buffer

[@scottskene8387]

Oddly, while I have his first appearance and had his ToyBiz figure, he was when I started to come around to the "maybe the 90s is more style over substance". He's a neat idea, but kind of symptomatic of the era. His weapons and armour are made up of scavenged parts of X-Men adversaries and aliens (Sentinel, Shi'ar, Z'noxx, etc). I believe he was also responsible for Colossus not being able to turn back into normal flesh for a time in the comics leading up to Fatal Attractions.

[@Marvelfan-b9e]

Also the tip I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be on there like the hard plastic tip

[@Dangerousflower918]

I was gonna buy a few of these to head swap to the newer painless bodies but I saw some of the older heads don't look right on the newer bodies so I said never mind. i'm still gonna get x-cutioner, goblin queen & headmaster magneto to put in my comic display though because I don't see Hasbro doing comic versions of these anytime soon. Especially x-cutioner because he's not that important of a villain from issues I seen of x-men so i'll take what I can get with x-cutioner.

[@HasBruce]

Robo: "do not put this in your mouth". Me: mubling with figure hanging out "wbhy"?

[@thegillman777]

I wonder if that head would work to customize a Cobra Commander in his sheet-headed look? Occurred to me when you put him next to a Classified figure.

[@williamdegeest]

To me he looks like he should be a Flash Gordon villain. And in my head canon, now he is and now I want one.

[@Pinksugarcandy]

Kinda surprised you’re not getting that Magneto thought the era when he wore that costume was your jam lol

[@Gohan1524385]

I love Amazon! I pre-ordered Cyclops, Jean and Nightcrawler from them all when pre-orders went up on Amazon... Kurt came in on the 3rd, Scott came in on the 8th, and apparently Jean comes in today by 9:15pm... I also got lucky in pre-ordering Goblin Queen after the initial pre-orders went up and she ain't coming in until Sunday I've also seen the entire wave of these figures in a couple of Walmarts thus far which is how I got Magneto and X-Cutioner but had I known Amazon was going to drag they ass around I wouldn't have pre-ordered

[@darthprime4916]

Always loved this character as a toy.

[@UniversalAsh]

Love that new intro! Very classy!

[@starrhunter633]

I was already wanting this but Robo and Dan Who really sold me on it so will be picking it up to go into the comic display.

[@chrisjordan8109]

You can find him in the GAMBIT solo comic series where a detective finds the suit and uses it to solve hard cases when he comes across the Cajun who then have a great high speed fight, so for me he's a GAMBIT rogue gallery addition

[@petercooper9791]

If Hasbros can put out this Grand Dragon killer of Mutants, with what amounts to a hardened hoodie, then Cobra Commander's "mask" should be a no-brainer.

[@XyZ-vv1qh]

I have an odd fascination with this character. I was deep into comics back then, but for some reason never knew of this character until recently. Its such a cool design though. I like the more blue color scheme that is seen in the comics, however.

[@flintsvariety811]

I’ll add him to my GI JOE COBRA collection! lol!

[@Arrowdodger]

I don't know if I'll get this, but I have to say, I am impressed with the engineering and have a MUCH warmer perception of the figure than when I just kind of saw preview pictures and assumed Hasbro would be lazy with him.

[@ThatGuyStephen-zx7pc]

Might have to get two of him and two Torch and see if I can swap their boots lol

[@thunderfeet]

I was thinking, if a fellow Excalibur man doesn’t get that new Nightcrawler I’d throw my phone across the room.

[@Nin_the_Shinobi]

If anyone is wondering. The FOH on his belt stands for Friends Of Humanity

[@bastisbuntewelt]

Oh what great Shirt again.

[@brainlock72]

Only the second X-cutioner figure, ever. First was the original pale green colors (original, re-released in dark green/blue colors) with the removable hood that had a cloth flap down to his knees! That was Carl Denti, and I have no idea why that name stuck, but I can’t remember my own phone number! This is supposed to be a new guy, so third(?) X-cutioner I’m aware of. I found him and Prof. Magneto on Saturday. Found the rest of the wave at Walmarts today. Mags is gonna be the peg warmer, likely followed by Cyke. In fact, I had just opened him when I saw you posted a video review, earlier. (Sorry, had plans to watch Smaug, already, and dinner was cooking!) I don’t think mine will keep his red curtain sash. It blocks too much movement, imo. I do think the non-spear stick is like the Klingon painstik’s, or what the TVA uses in MCU’s Loki and Deadpool+Wolverine.

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

Nice video, what is that you are using as the backdrop?

[@SleepyxBonez]

Alright robo I’ll buy him… 😂

[@Blitzkrieger17]

found the whole wave at meijers of all places, passed on x-cutioner and magneto, but after seeing this i'll probably pick him up too... my only gripe with this series so far, is the weird neon pinky orange they used for everything. and by that i mean jean and not jean's hair, kurt's vest, xcutioners drapes... gambit's armor was a little more pinky than orange... i know it's cartoon based, but it's just TOO bright and throws everything off a little too much when it's contrast against black and tan... which accounts for like most of the figures.... but then again, i guess thats what everything looked like in 97.. hasbro knew they COULD make everything neon, but never questioned if they SHOULD lol..

[@RoboDontKnow]

I'm not seeing a pinky orange, it's definitely a red. In fact, I opened up Nightcrawler last night and stood it next to the old one, it's just barely a shade brighter than the red of the original.

[@rjveit5902]

There isn’t much to know about the character I don’t think he has appeared in more than a handful of issues, I guess that is what makes him a good pull for a cartoon lol.

Hey Robo, I believe this character was introduced in one of the annuals from the early 1990s. He was introduced during that small Legacy Virus arc that happened after the X-Cutioners Song arc (the one where Stryfe comes in full swing on the Summers family). He's a mutant mercenary, iirc. He fought the X-Men trying to get to Mastermind, who was dying from the Legacy Virus (whom the X-Men had taken in to comfort during his final moments). (I actually read all of this just recently while reading some of the older comics from before my time lol).
