Hope they go back to the classic brown. I like the claws on this version.

@RoboDontKnow Ай бұрын

Yup, new articulation scheme, claws finally sorted out, time to redo ALL the Wolverines!

@SomeP3nda Ай бұрын

I have a feeling that will be the Wolverine Dan's been hinting at as his favorite Wolvie of the year. They've been giving us the costumes from the last couple of episodes of X-Men 97 like Rogue and Charles so it would make sense. Also would explain why they didn't include a regular Wolverine head with weapon of vengeance

@NightWatch0997 Ай бұрын

Based on their behavior, they probably will just reissue or modify the og brown suit body with new heads. X-Men legends always sold really well with minimum effort from hasbro 🤣

Hell yeah! These maybe the best claws done on a Wolverine figure that isn’t from a custom.

@shanehai2699 Ай бұрын

@@RoboDontKnow No. I hate those "movie claws" popping out between his fingers... and yes, I'm aware it's "comic books" (I am an artist and used to collect the comics before they went woke and straight to $#!t...) I get it, but there's NO WAY IN HELL those claws would work without slicing his entire hand into 4 slabs of dangling meatsicle EVERY SINGLE TIME he popped his claws, healing factor or not, his bloody finger/hands would be dangling and flopping all over the place...!!! 🙄🙄🙄 Seriously, look at your hand, and pay attention to the depth of where those claws would emerge, slicing the bone, tendons, and muscle into ribbons every damn time... anatomically those claws make NO SENSE... and are only slightly LESS OFFENSIVE than the incredibly $#!tty "Clayton claws" of the X-Force Wolverine, and those stupid "heat claws", WTF?!! 🤨🙄😑 Don't get me wrong... I love the X-Men, and they ARE my favorites of the ENTIRETY of Marvel Legends figures, but I don't give a $#!t about the Cassady/Quitely X-Men series' on ANY level, so those, along with the ENTIRETY of the woke Krakoa era, will ALWAYS be an easy pass for me... I neither want nor need them in my X-Men collection. That said, if you like them, that's fine, and I am happy that you're getting the figures that you want whether you happen to be Robo, or anyone else... I'm not here to change anyone's mind about them, just offering my perspective as to why I don't want them in my particular collection. I did use the Kitty Pryde body as my Wolfsbane stand-in for the extra parts that came with Dani Moonstar, and the Kitty head for my Ogun/Kitty custom unmasked head... (How about an Ogun already, Hasbro?!!)🙄 Nicely done on the custom tweaks to make the Wolverine more to your liking,Robo! Looks good. Still love that Bonecrusher custom Reaver you did though! Awesome work.

Great review. One of the ONLY people to even mention the suit colors. Wish I had the time, setup and skill to customize this to match the deeper yellow and more muted blue of that costume design, because it gives it a rich appearance lost with the brighter yellow and blue.

@juansanchez209 Ай бұрын

If I had to guess, I would guess it’s a new brown costume Wolverine on the X-Men 97 Wolverine mold. It’s an easy repaint that finally gives us a pinless classic brow costume Wolverine My only question is do they go with classic belt buckle or do they go with the 90s X-belt? I would personally prefer the classic belt buckle, but I think they’ll go with the X-belt because that version appeared in X-Men 97

I'm glad you mentioned the yellow rectangles! I thought I was going crazy, because I don't remember seeing those in the comics *at all!* I guess now I'm gonna be waiting for this to be reused to make the Utopia era Wolverine suit. I dunno, the complete lack of yellow on the gloves and boots and the X "badge" just makes it feel more... uniform-y, which I like. I'd take a Utopia Cyclops too.

@owene2530 Ай бұрын

The squares were present on comic covers but mostly absent in the actual panels

@RoboDontKnow Ай бұрын

I remember seeing them back then and thinking "why add those to promo material?" or on the alternate covers. I chalk it up to different artists wanting to do a little extra spin on it, or higher ups wanting a little more pizazz since the designs did have a.....minimalist feel, especially after the 90s looks and the movie/new leathers.

@Fuzzy_Barbarian Ай бұрын

@@RoboDontKnowI'm a youngun, so I've only ever read Astonishing in trade, which probably doesn't help with this, haha! The minimalist, more basic look is why I like the Astonishing look to begin with! Man... Hasbro gotta release this guy again without the squares, right? *Right?!*

@typingcomments Ай бұрын

As a huge fan of not only the Astonishing lineup but the individual costumes, seeing you get rid of the squares was like being able to let out a sneeze. It might of been Romita Jr in the Enemy of the State storyline who first added them, but I just never warmed up to those things.

It's kinda funny that you wanted to remove the yellow rectangles, while I wanted Hasbro to include them on the inner side of the boots as well. We have a different overall mental image of this design.

@Cyber023 Ай бұрын

Awesome review my friend. I really like this new wolverine. I guess it works in a few displays as well as astonishing X-Men he can also fit into a New Avengers display as this is the costume he used during that run. That may even be where the yellow rectangles on the gloves and boots came from thinking about it, and with a new Luke Cage coming out, skrull queen Spider-woman and the new iron man it makes sense.

@TwoThreadsAhead Ай бұрын

Love this rendition of him and that the ML line are moving towards the invisible joint pins aesthetic like the Mafex figures, It's always threw me being able to see the ports on almost every joint and now it's looking like that might be a thing of the past finally.

I have no interest in the Astonishing team BUT this is the costume that’s used for Marvel vs Capcom 3, glove and boot overlays and all, so I’m glad they included them here. Just had to swap out the head sculpt for a tiger stripe Wolverine since his cowl in MVC3 is bigger. Yellows are close enough.

Seeing Astonishing next to the X-Men '97 really makes me hope they do a repaint of '97 with a color scheme that is more close to this Astonishing release. I get that the off-blue is probably more accurate to X-Men '97 but it's hard to pass it off Jim Lee era Wolverine with the color differences.

old Colossus and new sculpy Kitty should be a 2 pack (with a Lockheed of course) because Kitty is tiny and there isn't alot but a 2 pack would be good value for money I reckon. People like me who don't have a Colossus yet could get him and her Astonishing costume would fit in alot of displays.

I'm not a fan of Astonishing X-men story, but this is a cool costume. A modern update that stays close to the classic. I''ve got a pretty big Marvel Legend Wolverines collection now. I'm getting these eventually. I'm going to use the blue claw hands on all my tiger striped Wolverines. Thanks for the playday section at the end. Lots of people do reviews, but not a lot show how they intend to display their figure. Is it really a Cassidy designed costume? JRJR used a very similar design in Wolverine: Enemy of the State. Diffrent boots, but I thought that was the debut of that costume?

Just unboxed my own an hour ago and I think it’s great. I saw one person complaining that the cowl should be yellow and blue instead of yellow and black, but the black just looks more accurate to wolverine in general. Plus, most of the comic looks have the cowl very shaded, so the blue is so dark that it looks black. Most people don’t even notice that, and I didn’t either until it was pointed out. The only improvement I would have liked to see was a boot cut.

@RoboDontKnow Ай бұрын

I've attempted several customs of this costume through the years and have noticed the blue cowl (and belt in some cases) but yeah, it just never looks right in figure form. It's always heavy shaded, but that's also true about the blue on the costume.

@prophet924 Ай бұрын

The brown Wolvie is my faves. Can I get one with decent arm hair? I also like the stocky look. He can be under 5.75” and wider. Then the shoulder ball joints can be a bit more round and make him a feisty ball of pain. The shoulder guards are ok. It reminds me of the pads ladies used in their blouse in the 90s. One day maybe in like 8-9 days I’ll see this.

I still don't understand why the legends team is still putting the neck dumbell joint in the literal torso of the body and not in the neck. When I was customizing a retro spiderman body I took the chance to look at what was going on and came to the conclusion that it's literally imposible to improve the neck movement without having to crack the torso open
