Hot Toys-MMS 220-The Wolverine-Wolverine 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure

It'll probably be up for PO by the end of the day on SSC.

They were a really good '80s pop band. They are staples on my IPod Shuffle I use when I exercise.

I probably play my Pleasure Victim vinyl LP a couple times a week!

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Guilty as charged. Terri Nunn for me is

And she has aged well. I'm also a big fan of the group.

Isn't it strange to know that she auditioned for Princess Leia?

Yup. It was good thing she stuck with her other job.

This is pretty much true of very HT figure, IMO. I really, really wish every figure came with two faces / heads. Especially at the new price levels.

Agreed. I really wish for an extra sculpt every time they give a extra set of clothing.

This is so bought.

 

[EVILFACE]

Dang that sculpt looks great! Time to pawn off that X3 sculpt.

I hope the body will be better painted than the proto pics though in the final product. The Origin Wolverine has fantastic detail on the body, hair on the chest, and arms. It even had painted veins.

This current body lacks all those. I am sure it is the the same origin wolverine body though.

Asked on the Sideshow Facebook page when he'll be going up for PO.
I got "soon*Susan" back as a reply.

Looks great overall.

They need to fix the bone claws though. They aren't bladed flat bones but circular tube shaped. And they need to look like they come out of his hands rather than placed on them

The lips seem pretty off.

That's what's bothering me. They just can't seem to nail Hugh's likeness. This is real close, but those lips. Why that face?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Look at Robbiethepainters bone claws, painted by Skiman

 

[Lord Piper]

I hope the trench has wiring to give the wind-blowing pose.

Given this figure is so awesome I have spent much of my time today thinking about it, some observations though;

1- Relating specifically to the figure I'm still surprised Hot Toys are doing it; the Last Stand version doesn't seem to have been a massive seller and by the time this guy does come out Days of Future Past will either be in cinema's or have just finished and one would presume there will be another Wolverine from that film along with hopefully the rest of the team....

2- On that note do we think X-Men is still as popular as it was at the turn of the 21st century? Back then we had the cartoon which lead to Essential X-Men over here in the UK and then ultimately the original trilogy of films, now though I dont think there's any doubt Iron Man & The Avengers are massively more popular (proven by how many went to see IM3 v The Wolverine) which then leads to me to the question do we think Hot Toys will give us the X-Men team for DOFP like they did with The Avengers or will X-Men forever be a license like The Expendables where Hot Toys only ever revisit the most popular character i.e. Wolverine? (though I suspect we will get McAvoy & more than likely a Fassbender) given Hot Toys were presumably working on these for First Class)

Opinions welcome

looks amazing, but I particularly love the angry expression of MMS187 version.

I must be one of the few who is delighted with the version "THE LAST STAND"

 

[The Skull]

This is a two figure purchese for me, loving the new look!!!

 

[Darkseed]

I prefer Xmen over Avengers characters tho both movie versions were great (Last Stand excluded).

I would be ok with movie characters from any of the Xmen film honestly even Last Stand

Same here.

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

The hair looks amazing
