Year of release: 1991
Figure Number: 4903
Accessories: Weight Bar
Action Feature: Power Lift Action
Comments: As with all the first series X-Men, the original releases came
with white-bordered Series I trading cards. In most cases the character
on the trading card matched the figure in the package. Some exceptions
to this rule exist. First series cards were also characterized by the full
"peg hole" at the top of the card. All subsequent series had "hanger hooks"
that allow one to remove the figure from the rack without having to remove all
the figures in front of it.
This figure was re-released in 1993 with a later series trading card and
a hanger hook card. The figure had a paint difference as well. The repaint
did not include the yellow border to Colossus' boots.
Many people have wondered if this popular character would be remade with
better sculpting and articulation (as was done with several other figures
in the first series). However, as of this writing, there are no plans for
another version of Colossus.
