It was 20 years ago today that 20th Century Fox released X-Men into theaters across the country, quickly starting a new era for superhero dominance at the box office. Now, Hasbro is celebrating the milestone anniversary of the X-Men films — several of which are now on Disney+ — with a new wave of Marvel Legends action figures that pay tribute to the series.

The Marvel Legends X-Men 20th Anniversary series includes Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), and a two-pack featuring Magneto (Michael Fassbender/Sir Ian McKellen) and Professor X (James McAvoy/Sir Patrick Stewart) — all presented with Hasbro’s Photo Real facial technology that captures the likeness of each respective actor.

The two-pack features both young and old likenesses, and each figure includes a host of accessories in addition to premium deco and articulation.

This wave also starts a new upgrade in packaging for the Marvel Legends Series, which puts it on-par with the recent update to Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Black Series and the recently released G.I. Joe: Classified Series.

All of these new figures are available for preorder via Hasbro Pulse and Entertainment Earth.
