When I reviewed the new Astonishing X-Men Cyclops back in 2023, I honestly didn’t have much faith in Hasbro giving us the whole lineup in all their John Cassaday glory. But here we are, just under 3 years later, and one of the most popular rosters in X-Men history is about to be forever immortalized in modern plastic form: the Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Colossus & Kitty Pryde two-pack is now up for order!

Despite being a core member of the X-Men for 45 years now, Kitty Pryde does not get nearly the merchandising love that some flashier and newer X-Men such as Bishop and Gambit get.

Kitty has had only a relative handful of Hasbro Marvel Legends figures over the years, and we haven’t seen her at mass retail in her most recognizable yellow costume since the ‘meh’ Kitty Pryde release in the 2016 Juggernaut Series (the inaugural X-Men Marvel Legends wave). But a decade is a long time, and Hasbro seems to have agreed that Kate was due for an upgrade!

Sadly, Kitty isn’t getting the most up to date female body mold that Hasbro has, which is a shame. I’m not wild at all about Kitty not having an upper torso ab crunch in this day and age. But she’s still on a much more recently tooled body, with modern super-articulation and no ridiculously floppy belt sliding all around like her predecessor had. I’ve also seen some folks balk at the face on this Kitty Pryde, but she looks pretty accurate to this era’s art style to my half-blind eyes.

Kitty comes with the same old Lockheed figurine, except now in a lighter purple that feels more accurate. Score! I’m grateful for the alternate ponytail hair head as well, as that’s the Kate Pryde I envision in my mind these days.Colossus I am less enamored about, as I’m less enthusiastic about that character in general. The Juggernaut 2-pack Colossus has always been “good enough” for me for my Piotr Rasputin needs. That said, he was a key component of Joss Whedon’s team, so there was no doubt we needed an Astonishing X-Men Colossus Legends figure!

Colossus looks very nice with seamless pin-free joints, and I’m glad we get both “calm” and “aggro” heads for a character who’s sometimes very placid and other times quite raging.Piotr also gets grasping hands for all kinds of fun poses throwing other action figures around!

Hasbro created a bit of new tooling for this figure, and I don’t mind buying him to get Kitty and complete the team, but it’s a GamerVerse Colossus figure that I’m really jonesing for now. Hopefully in the next year or so!

The X-Men Legends Kitty Pryde and Colossus figures two pack is now up for order and arriving in early spring. The set is retailing for $56, which feels fair for a pair of figures when individual releases are $28 each now. I would not have minded an option to buy Kate separately, though!

Are you jazzed to check another completed X-Men team off the list, Marvel collectors? Will you buy this two-pack, and which era’s X-Men lineup do you want to see finished next?
