The Uncanny X-Men: The Evil Mutants – Apocalypse (Extending Body) (1991 Toy Biz)
Few releases in vintage Marvel collecting carry the weight of Toy Biz's 1991 Uncanny X-Men Series 1 — the line that launched X-Men action figures as a mainstream phenomenon and established Toy Biz as the decade's dominant Marvel licensee. Apocalypse was positioned as the centerpiece villain of that inaugural nine-figure wave, debuting alongside the X-Men Home Video release at peak comic-book mania. For collectors chasing a complete Series 1 run, carded examples of this figure are increasingly difficult to source.
This is a vintage carded example featuring the iconic purple card with bold yellow and green "The Uncanny X-Men" logo and the "Evil Mutants" sub-header. The bubble retains the figure — molded in deep blue with the signature "A" chest emblem — along with the blue accessory weapon arm. The card back showcases the full Series 1 roster across all sub-groups, an Extending Body Action diagram explaining the waist-and-leg slide mechanism that reveals the "Magic Jewel," and a Marvel Universe Series 1 trading card tucked inside the bubble. Card shows edge and corner wear consistent with its age; the bubble remains attached.
As a Series 1 original, this Apocalypse speaks directly to the collector focused on early Toy Biz Marvel releases or the broader 1990s X-Men nostalgia wave. The inclusion of the Marvel Universe Series 1 trading card elevates it beyond a loose find, and the complete card back — documenting vehicles, Danger Rooms, and Supersize figures — makes it a rich snapshot of the line's full scope. A cornerstone piece for any vintage X-Men shelf.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎

In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.
