Premium Format New Wolverine Premium Format

Further inspection, the peg of ex head is too short and causes the head not staying securely because both magnets - on the neck and the head - are too far apart comparing to regular head. I added an extra magnet onto the head - no need to glue - and now it works like a charm.

That's a great idea but I'm guessing there's no danger of it falling off is there?

We're not talking batman modern age premium format where it could actually fall off are we

Mine seems fine.

That magnet thing on the EX head sounds like a defect. I would try to get at least $25 from SSC or something. You shouldn't have to fix anything when these things cost $570.

I was thinking about it but it might have some other issues. Sideshow QC is like Russian Roulette.

Anybody know why Sideshow still shows this as pre-order while others have already received theirs?

It's probably because they're waiting on the 2nd batch from the factory...

Ok thanks. I'll be getting my first Wolverine piece this Tuesday and I have been collecting for 5 years. I feel this and the XM one is the best. The main reason I didn't go with XM was the price but this one from SS looks good enough.

This would go great with the statue.

I had doubts when placing an order for him because I did not like the textured outfit and the yellow costume but once in hand that has been forgotten. It is beautiful. I did not have any issues with the peg on the foot but yes the EX head is loosey goosey. Come on Sideshow!

Wolverine #1588 checking in. Turned out perfect. Really impressed with this statue.

What I find interesting is the optical illusion of him leaning. When I see pics of him now in this thread, some (to me) show him leaning. But when I look at mine in person there is zero lean whatsoever.

BOTH headsculpts really turned out well. Good job SSC!

Just curious anyone read any of the newest Marvel relaunches "Fresh Start"...worth picking up? Geeze is it what 7 relaunches in 7 years. Got my ship notice for this as well. Only hoping the delay from final bill to ship is that they actually inspected them due to peg issues and a few reported paint flecks.

This looks fantastic! Congrats guys!

Everything about this statue is awesome! The proportions, pose, sculpt and paint are just on point!

Just got him in, an absolute masterpiece for its scale. Here are some quick pics

I dig it, however the price points for SS PF nowadays has me feeling like this may be one of my last SS pieces. Looking at Magneto, Rogue etc... it’s a bit much and feels overpriced to me a bit. Other options close to this range to like P1 or XM statues makes me feel I have to get more selective. I absolutely love the X-men and regret selling my original X-MEN SS statues but don’t think I may go much deeper with the series after this guy(although magneto is on my radar).

Nice pics man! And "overpriced" is an understatement. I guess it's not out of the question given XM, Prime1, and IronStudios all fall within the higher price points. more companies has sort of pushed the pricing upwards instead of downwards. It's both good and bad for the consumer. On the one hand, we get more companies, more competition, and more variety which is great. On the other hand, when Sideshow was the only kid in town, their prices were far more reasonable. I have been pretty much priced out of the hobby for the most part. I am grateful I got most of my prized pieces while the mean average was about $350 for a PF. $700 is a bar I am not willing to cross unless its a massive scale or a must have character still missing from my collection.

Here’s my temporary location until I can put him with my others.
