Hasbro has taken a slow and steady approach in building the 90s X-Factor team in 6” Marvel Legends form. It has been 6 years since the release of Marvel Legends Multiple Man, which kicked off this iteration of X-Factor in the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure Series. Finally, Rahne Sinclair has arrived to complete the team with the release of the Marvel Legends Wolfsbane figure. This figure is now shipping as part of the mixed characters Zabu BAF wave. So, should you add this long-awaited Scottish werewolf to your collection? Here’s my review…
I honestly never thought Hasbro would fully complete the 1990s X-Factor Marvel Legends figures lineup, but here we are. For those keeping track, here are all the figures from the roster in their proper costumes, along with the year of production and a link to my review for each:
2018 — Multiple Man Jamie Madrox2019 — Havok2019 — Polaris2019 — Forge2019 — Quicksilver [3-Pack with Scarlet Witch & Magneto]2020 — Strong Guy Build-A-Figure2023 — Random2024 — Wolfsbane
During the pandemic, there was a two-year gap without a new X-Factor Legends figure, which made me a bit anxious. However, Hasbro finished strong with unexpected releases like Random in last year’s exclusive X-Men Villains 5-pack.
While I would love to display the entire X-Factor set together, I haven’t had the chance to do so yet. Here is a combined photo from various review photos instead:

Rahne spent most of Peter David’s 90s run in werewolf form due to events in Genosha, so the lack of a non-transformed Rahne Sinclair head with this figure is understandable. The fierce expression of the head sculpt captures the character’s savage attitude during that era, although some may find it a bit too exaggerated.
Luckily, Wolfsbane also comes with the huge central torso piece of the Zabu Build-A-Figure, which saves her from feeling like an awful value. I appreciate when Hasbro puts the biggest BAF part with the smallest figure in a wave.
Marvel Legends Wolfsbane has new furry woman arms and legs, which are pin-less and look great. Unlike Feral, Wolfsbane doesn’t have a cat tail, so neither does nor should this figure.
The articulation on the figure is up to modern standards, but she doesn’t have the flexibility of a Spider-Man toy and can’t get into any extreme poses. I couldn’t really get her into a cool crouching pose either, but I’m not the best poser out there, so let me know if you achieve better.
Overall: Although it’s exciting that there are a lot of new parts on this figure (destined to be reused for Feral) and it’s exciting to complete Peter David’s X-Factor team from the 90s, this Wolfsbane figure itself isn’t all that exciting. There’s no inventive accessories to give her a fun factor edge, and while I dig her seamless articulation, I can’t really get her into any extremely lithe poses. The proportions are all solid, as is the paint deco consistency, but I feel like Hasbro made Rahne’s portrait a bit too ugly. I think the 6” Wolfsbane Legends figure is good overall, but falls short of feeling like anything special (beyond completing a team I never dreamed we’d have in super-articulated form). Frankly, I wouldn’t mind seeing upgrades to Havok and Polaris now to bring them up to Wolfsbane’s level.
