If LegoBricks Studio’s recreation of the “X-Men ’97” intro inspires you to want to build your own LEGO mutant set, there are options available. After all, given the rave reviews for and the wave of nostalgia surrounding “X-Men ’97,” it makes sense that Marvel and LEGO have already teamed up for a few sets fans can build.
The most impressive release so far is the X-Men’s X-Jet fighter plane, a 359-piece set that comes with the ship itself, as well as minifigs of Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, and Magneto. Meanwhile, Wolverine fans can build a fully jointed Construction Figure of the clawed hero thanks to a 327-piece set showcasing Logan in his iconic yellow suit. Wolverine’s claws can also be built in LEGO’s Wolverine Adamantium Claw set, with the build highlighting the hero’s deadliest weapons. The set has 596 pieces and is intended for older LEGO collectors.
Considering the level of excitement expressed by “X-Men ’97” fans, coupled with the possible characters, locations, and ships available to translate into brick form, LEGO will likely reveal more sets inspired by the show’s heroes and villains in the future. But for now, only a few sets are available, so once those have all been built, we’ll have to get our LEGO X-Men fix by rewatching the fan trailer a few more times.
