X-MEN '97 Merchandise Art Gives Us A First Look At Wolverine

We only recently got confirmation that Wolverine would be a part of the X-Men '97 team, and we now have a first look at the iconic mutant hero thanks to an upcoming tie-in LEGO set...

During last year's Comic-Con, we got a glimpse of some of the villains who'll feature in the upcoming Disney+ X-Men '97 animated series, and now thanks to a new LEGO set, we have a first look at Wolverine in his classic yellow, blue and black costume from the '90s show.

Logan looks pretty much the same as he did in the original series, but his mask might be slightly more streamlined? Either way, we don't expect much variation with the re-introduced characters, since X-Men '97 is set shortly after X-Men: The Animated Series concluded.

X-Men '97 still doesn't have a premiere date after being pushed back from its initial debut this fall. Though nothing has been made official, it's looking increasingly likely that the series won't hit the streaming service 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 Wolvie, 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.

Check out the artwork at the link below, and keep an eye on Toonado.com for updates.

I. ant wait until more X-Men legos come out (actual sets not like this one).

I have the old Blackbird vs Sentinel set and it’s awesome. It is much simpler than some newer sets can be so I’m interested to see what the current Lego designers can come up with.

Never got the only other one they did for the Origins Wolverine movie. It was even more basic than the Blackbird set.

I hope we get more stuff based on this show, because I’m hesitant to be excited for whatever Disney does in live action with the property based on their recent output.

@mountainman - I have that Blackbird set too! I saw it at Lego Land and had to buy it. It's the only time I ever saw it.

I want a giant Sentinel lego set.

@CorndogBurglar - 100% agree. A giant (12” or so) sentinel with minifig X-Men characters would be so sweet.

@TheManWithoutFear - That Dark Phoenix adaptation was nigh on perfection.

@ObserverIO - Right? Same exact story, just swapped out the characters that weren't in the comics back then. Easy peasy. And yet two movie attempts managed to screw it up.

@Doomsday8888 - Great movie. DOFP slightly edged it out in my book as far as team movies go, but X2 is one of the 🐐s.

@AnthonyVonGeek - Yes they all look virtually the same minus Jubilee looking more obviously Asian and Storm having closer to the mohawk.
