After Jim lee Started drawing X-Men in small doses here and there, filling in for regular artist, He gain HUGE popularity in the eyes of X-Men fans every where. This eventually led to his take over of the book 2 years later in 1991 with a new series simply titles X-Men. As artist and Co-Writer Lee came up with some duds for the Team that defined the look of the x-men for mine and many other x-men reader generation. The first book sold 8 Million copies and is still the #1 best selling comic of all time. This 10 figure set was created to celebrate Jim lee and his amazing artistic vision. Enjoy
I have always wanted to have a PERFECT Jim Lee X-Men Set, and in my eyes this it. I created to 10 figures that I still needed for my set, and now it is perfect and complete. I put of making this for a log time but thanks to the discovery of a customizer named Double Dealer I was finally motivated to make it. As you can see I use alot of ideas from 2D with my own spin, so I want to than you 2D for the Great inspiration. I hope you all enjoy my set as much as me, I personally think its my best work yet.
