What are your “Grails”?

Most of my grails were made in the last few years, and were relatively easy to get (Outback Psylocke, New Mutants Magik, Spiral, Destiny). I guess Senyaka and Tempo remain. Otherwise, I haven't really found Legends stuff hard enough to get for anything that's been made to be a grail.
 
Yeah in terms of things already released that I never got, I think it’s only that overseas Doombot from the old FF movie. I don’t think I’ve missed much at all over the whole life of the line.

She's a grail for me as well.

I’ve actually got one of those. It’s not that I can’t find it, or even afford it. I know where one is at this very moment. It’s just a ridiculous price for a relatively innocuous retail item:

Card back Beast with the lab coat. 140 bucks. No one can tell me why. I do understand capitalism. Supply and demand and all that. But still, I’m dumbfounded. The previous one with the Caliban head is going for around $90.00 dollars. Loose and incomplete is about $50.00. Frustrating to say the least. I do have the first appearance version which is okay. But I do want a proper Hank McCoy.
 
It was up for a short window and you have everyone after it:

Comic fans
Cartoon fans
The overlap who want one for each shelf
The custom artists

And it was the rare reissue to solve the initial problem that even improved on the package, so you have the upgraders in the mix who might have passed.

I keep expecting this one to get re-issued, but we'll see. They've been doing a fair amount of re-issuing older figures in recent years, especially if Hasbro sees the demand based upon secondary market prices like this one has. This figure was somewhat hard to get even when it first came out. I'm still rocking the Caliban wave one and at the time didn't think the retro card one was enough of an upgrade to pay for.

We'll probably be getting the X-Men '97 version in 2026, so that may make it less likely to get this one re-issued in the short term.

At this point we probably just need a brand new comic based figure of him (other than the Astonishing one that just got released in 2025).
 
I'm still baffled we haven't gotten a bronze age-inspired redeco of that Beast sculpt. Especially with the Perez-y smiling head that was included with the grey version, *all* the pieces are there.

At this point I'm holding out for it to come in a two-pack with Wonder-Man in one of his many alt costumes.
