We're still waiting on an official premiere date for Marvel Studios' X-Men: The Animated Series revival, X-Men '97, but merchandise based on the show continues to find its way online, and we now have a first look at Funko's initial wave of POPs based on the show's mutant heroes.

This first batch only includes four characters, Cyclops, Magneto, Bishop and Gambit, but more are sure to follow fairly soon given the sheer number of heroes and villains that'll feature in the series.

For the most part, these guys look the same as they did in the original show, with some very slight alterations to Magneto's costume, and a shorter hairstyle for Bishop.

Check out some images and box art at the link below.

X-Men '97 will serve as a direct sequel to X-Men: The Animated Series' five-season run, but there's speculation that it may also set-up the team's eventual live-action MCU debut (unlikely, but we might get a few hints and/or teases here and there).

Returning voice cast members include Lenore Zann as Rogue, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, Catherine Disher as Jean Grey, George Buza as Beast, Chris Potter as Gambit, Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Christopher Britton as Mister Sinister, and Alyson Court as Jubilee.

The official synopsis reads: "Storm and Wolverine try to continue the X-Men. Magneto comes in and wants to step up for Charles Xavier. [Mister] Sinister comes in to try to end the X-Men once and for all."

It appears we'll never get a semi-accurate MCU X-Men movie in my lifetime, so I guess this will do.

Off topic: No surprise here, but goodbye Nightwing.

I still don’t understand the Morph redesign. Bishop I get because jheri curl. But why Morph? Think they’ll address it in the show?

@Stinkor1 - Probably the mutant and proud spiel.

@Stinkor1 - Because that's how Morph looks in the comics since Age of Apocalypse.

In the show I'm guessing they will say it's his true form. Either that or they will have him get experimented on by Sinister or something.

Cyclops would look great without the little red flare

Not really a Funko guy, but I can be swayed from time to time. That Gambit might get my money. MIGHT.

I really dislike the cutesy look of Funcos and own zero of them. I almost might make an exception here. Probably not, but that Gambit and the Bishop both look great.
