Marvel’s X-Mansion: LEGO Collaborates with X-Men for an Epic Set Release

For avid fans of the X-Men, an exciting opportunity has emerged to enact thrilling adventures within the legendary Xavier mansion. In a groundbreaking partnership, Marvel and LEGO unveil a magnificent collectible: the X-Men: The Mansion set.

This intricate model draws inspiration from the beloved classic, X-Men ’97, while simultaneously serving as a homage to the broader Marvel X-Men universe. At the heart of this buildable marvel lies a detailed mansion structure accompanied by a formidable Sentinel, poised as an arch-nemesis for the X-Men. The two-story layout can be divided into three sections and features iconic locations such as the Danger Room, the lobby, a classroom, a laboratory, Cerebro, and Wolverine’s personal quarters, showcasing an impressive array of fan-centric elements.

The LEGO Marvel X-Men: The X-Mansion Buildable Set features a buildable Sentinel and an impressive selection of 10 minifigures. Among these, five characters make their debut in LEGO form, including Professor X, an updated Jean Grey, Gambit, Iceman, and Bishop. With meticulously designed accessories, the set incorporates various elements from the X-Mansion such as Cerebro, customizable Danger Room items, an exploding cupola, Wolverine’s motorcycle, and visual nods to the iconic X-Men legacy.

LEGO’s X-Men Mansion Pays Tribute to Original Comic Moments

The set is not only a testament to the characters but also rich with comic book Easter eggs, such as a tile that commemorates the X-Men’s first comic appearance. Furthermore, a poster replicating the iconic cover of Days of Future Past can be found in the mansion’s back alley. The Danger Room features references to Gambit’s inaugural appearance by displaying “UX 266” (Uncanny X-Men #266), and the Sentinels have nods to “141965” from X-Men #14, published in 1965. Additional tributes include names written on the walls for characters like Pixie and Pyro, alongside illustrations of Nightcrawler and Dazzler.

Returning veterans including Wolverine, Rogue, Cyclops, Storm, Magneto, and Jean Grey are joined by new figures Charles Xavier, Gambit, Bishop, and Iceman, who makes his official LEGO debut. While most figures are inspired by X-Men ’97, the presence of Iceman further expands the scope of this collectible by introducing a wider array of X-Men characters beyond the series itself, honoring the character’s foundational role in the team.
