When Wizard was still printing Toyfare, in fact, in their very second issue, they offered an exclusive Kitty Pryde action figure in her classic blue uniform. I knew I must own it and in April 1997, I probably had to ask my mother for the money and she agreed (she’s supportive like that) and a few weeks later this came in!

For anyone else who may be interested in the other exclusives that they offered.
Can’t believe they started out with Molten Man of all characters.
