The Uncanny X-Men
Toy Biz
1991-1998
When it comes to incredibly large lines, Toy Biz's The Uncanny X-Men certainly stands out as a line to be reckoned with. In it's eight year span, the series managed to churn out seven series of basic figures, a few vehicles and playsets, and about two hundred figures related to various sub series and gift sets.
Truth be told, Toy Biz's X-Men line is a series we've wanted to tackle here at The Toy Box for a long time. However, because its so large, and so many X-Men related figures were released during this time period, its difficult to tell which figures in the sub series were actually intended to be connected to the basic line, if any at all, and this is really a best guess effort after several months of research, and a whole lot of photograph work. While we believe this to be complete, if you don't see something that you feel should be a part of the series, or if you see something you don't think should be here, please let us know what, and why. Please note that we have not included the X-Force series as while this line started out as a sub series, it really took off on its own as a series unto itself.
We've labeled every photo with its series title, and to help organize everything, with the exception of the basic series which is listed first, everything else is listed in alphabetical order. All the photos are also date stamped with the year that the particular represented series came out.
It's also important to note that while the series launched as "The Uncanny X-Men" in 1991, by 1994 the series title was shortened to just "X-Men". The majority of the sub series lines fall under the "X-Men" title.
Without further delay we present to you what we feel is the entire 1990's Toy Biz (The Uncanny) X-Men line!

In closing, if you are a major package variant hunter, then it is worth noting that Canada produced and released several limited two pack sets from the various sub series, and even had their own X-Men/Spider-Man two pack waves. These sets were limited from 4,000 to 6,000 pieces, and are very difficult to get at reasonable prices.
Join us next time when we take a look at a somewhat continuation of The Uncanny X-Men line with the sub series that turned into its own series, X-Force!
