Cyclops X-Men ’97 Statue

Every team needs a fearless leader. For the X-Men, that’s Scott Summers, AKA Cyclops. While he is often portrayed as a bit dry, not much of a jokester, and more of an earnest sort of guy, he is one of the members who really holds the team together. Of all the mutants, Cyclops might just be the most dedicated to their cause of acceptance (and not just tolerance). Let Slim blast into your collection with the Cyclops X-Men ’97 Statue by Iron Studios.

Rogue X-Men ’97 Statue

She lends the team her sweet Southern belle sass as well as a whopping dose of super strength. Rogue’s heartwarming, husky twang lives rent free in many X-Men fan’s heads, as it should. In her time as a member of the X-Men, she’s overcome a lot of hardship. Having Mystique as your mom and not being able to touch others for fear of killing them? Kinda stressful. But Rogue always swoops in with upbeat words of support for her mutant family. For an ultra-powerful duo, team Rogue up with her sugah, the Gambit X-Men ’97 Statue.
