X-MEN '97: First Look At Marvel Legends' Replica Of Magneto's Iconic Helmet Revealed

Following our recent first look at a Wolverine LEGO set, Hasbro has unveiled images of its X-Men '97 Marvel Legends Magneto helmet, which is going to be a must-buy for fans of the Master of Magnetism.

During last year's San Diego Comic-Con, the first images from the upcoming X-Men '97 animated series were unveiled, and we got a glimpse of Magneto in an upgraded costume.

The Master of Magnetism wasn't wearing his helmet, however, leading to speculation that the show might be ditching one of the most recognizable and iconic aspects of the character.

Now, Hasbro (via io9) has unveiled a first look at some X-Men '97 merchandise that will be hitting shelves soon, and it seems the (reformed) villain will be sporting his classic headgear after all.

The helmet is a spot-on recreation of the one Mags wore in the original '90s series, which was itself faithfully adapted from the comic books. It's wearable, but also comes with a display stand for those days when you get tired of posing as the legendary mutant.

Check out some images of Marvel Legends' replica Magneto helmet below (no release date has been announced, but we'll update as soon as we know more).

X-Men '97 still doesn't have a premiere date after recently being delayed. Though nothing has been made official, it's looking increasingly likely that the series won't debut until sometime in 2024.

Plot details also remain under wraps, but we do know that Magneto will lead the team, which will also consist of Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Beast, Rogue, Gambit, and Jubilee, with the likes of Sunspot, Cable, Nightcrawler, Forge, Bishop, and Morph expected to make sporadic appearances.

Villains will include Mister Sinister, Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw, Callisto, and Valerie Cooper.

@TheShape9859 - they do that. When it comes to content here if there's overlapping news they don't prioritize who came first but which one is "better".

("Better" usually means "written by an editor")

Nice! I’m shocked it’s just $100, I was expecting it to be way more. 👍

But does it come with black eyeshadow to get the full look like in the thumbnail? For $100 it damn well better. If not, I guess it's not a deal-breaker. I still have my '89 Batman costume eyeshadow around here somewhere and that stuff should last forever, right? (Digs around in his attic for his '89 Batman costume). Nope, guess it doesn't. Gentlemen, to the makeup aisle!

The helmet ships in September 1st. September 3rd Walmart and Target stores across the nation report record sales of black eyeshadow and the following supply shortages. They blame the supply chain. Goth kids everywhere are even MORE depressed (if that's possible). Record numbers of them drop out of school and live out of their parents' basements (painted black). In desperation they turn to Disney+ and discover "X-Men: The Animated Series" and "X-Men '97", resulting in a new lease on life. They return to school, graduate top of their class and go on to change the world for the better, including one bright young lad who discovers the cure for cancer.

So there you go, "X-Men: The Animated Series" fans, let's cure cancer!
