One of the things I'm most curious about for the upcoming X-Men '97 show on Disney+ is the representation of Storm. In the original X-Men the Animated Series, her voice was so booming and theatrical that it was both humorous and iconic. In the end, I loved it. And I think it played a part developing her later comics persona as well. I kind of hope this characterization continues in the new show, but I expect that they will tone her down a bit for modern (more critical?) audiences. I don't think I've ever seen Storm in the combination of her white costume with her mohawk hairdo. Overall, I like it. It's a fun distinction from her previous appearances without doing something too far out of canon. I'm hope we get more Marvel Legends figures from this series. Beast, Jean Grey, and Jubilee are contenders. But until the show airs in early 2024, we don't really know the full roster. Perhaps some interesting villains alongside Magneto. (This could possibly be how we finally get Destiny!) Let's check out Storm below!
Storm's only accessories are an extra set of hands.
There aren't many images from the upcoming X-Men '97 show yet. Actually the toy packaging is the best look at character design we've seen so far. This image below was posted on a lot of articles when the series was announced.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!

Did you knew that is Action Figura from Scott Pilgrim.
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of this figure especially the mohawk and cape. Hoping the series will be good. Looking forward to it.
