My List of Marvel X-Men Minifigures - Not Lego


I was going through my new bootleg minifigures from Pogo and quite a few are new X-Men characters that I never knew existed.  I then checked out the Wiki page for the List of X-Men members
here.   Wow, so many of them!

I thought to myself what a challenge it would be to see how many of the X-Men members I had in my bootleg minifigure collection.  So that's what this blog post will be about.   I'll keep adding minifigures as I get them, so come back often to see the new additions.  This page will be an ongoing Work In Progess.

Let's get started!
This first list will be the original X-Men team members which includes Professor X, Cyclops, Iceman, Angel/Archangel, Beast and Marvel Girl/Phoenix.  I will also show the variations that I have of each member if I own it.   As you can see I'm still missing a few from this list.

Minifig Monday: Pepper Potts in Iron Man Suit


I'm starting a new series today called Minifig Monday.  Today's feature picture is a custom I made of Pepper Potts in the Iron Man MK42 suit.  I used the the Iron Man MK42 minifigure from one of the first Decool sets, but removed Tony Stark's head.  


I can't remember which minifigure I cannibalized for the head, but the hair piece is from one of the knockoff Friends minifigs (probably Bela brand).  Pepper Potts donned the suit to save Tony Stark in the movie Iron Man 3.  I'm quite pleased with how this turned out and it will make a nice addition to my Iron Man minifig collection.   Thanks for looking!
