- I review the Mondo X-Men Wolverine SDCC 2021 Exclusive figure. This one comes with some extra goodies, but more importantly, the MEME setup! I think diehard X-Men fans will still want this Wolverine (especially left in box), but I kind of wish I passed. Mondo does some excellent work, but this first-round figure needs remade.

I don’t have time for this
Oh. Ok
@@NostalgiaUnboxedwell I do have time for this.
@@Fraktal869 thank you
I made time for this. Thank you!
@@leftylion816 thank you
Wow I love wolverine’s bed it looks like it’s made out of cardboard so comfortable!
Wolverine doesn't need a comfy bed. He slept in the Canadian woods for weeks.
😂
Real men don't need cotton and fluff, 😅
Well according to homeless people cardboard is comfortable
A lot of people was involve in designing that bed
Glad you got this one on a discount. This particular release always baffled me a little bit because Mondo went through the effort to make a pretty cool meme box presentation, but the entire box situation is a disposable piece. I understand that Mondo at the time and currently is not set up to make dioramas, but I wonder if a little more thought on the packaging could have made it workable as a display item even after opening.
That gimpy leg sucks and the paint rub sitch seems to be something seen in some of their more recent releases so I guess we need to pose very carefully or just let those small paint flaws go. I am not one to give figure maintenance advice, but I have seen experts on YT fix loose ball joints by applying Super/Gorilla Glue style products very carefully on the ball peg to build up layers to essentially increase the diameter of the ball peg. I have seen this work well, but seems like an operation to be done with care
I have had some good tips on the leg, so I may try one day. Right now he is in that last pose, just face down, crying into his pillow 😂
I'll do you one better... shrink tubing on the ball joint to make it thicker and add resistance to the leg without glueing it which can be dangerous
Don’t worry about it dude , incase you forgot he has healing ability and his leg will fix itself. 😉
oh, yeah! Perfect!
When I get Super7 figures, most of them have loose joints that have to be fixed. I use Rejuvenate hardwood floor restorer. It's very runny initially, so you can brush it right into the joints and it seeps into all the nooks and crannies, but as it dries, it bonds to the plastic and works wonders.
Thanks for the info!
Have you ever used it on a joint with gears? I have a chogokin franky with a loose arm
@@Akondom I'm not familiar with chogokin. Is that like a ratchet joint? It should theoretically work on anything, because it's just bonding to the plastic which then gives the joint more friction, but I've not used it on a ratchet joint myself.
@Wa11s0fJericho yeah I reckon ratchet joint is probably what it's called. It clicks in place.
@@Akondom Hmmm. I'm not sure. If the mechanism is broken, the floor polish likely won't help.
The sad face holding the Morph head 😂
😂
@@NostalgiaUnboxed definitely won me over. Subscribed.
@@blakeallen391 haha. I appreciate that
This is one of those figures I feel was meant to stay in the box. Real bummer on the scaling with Jubilee. I mean Wolverine is like 5’3 so Jubilee must be like 4’0 even though she’s really 5’5. Comic book scale 😂
It's real weird and seeing him next to Sabretooth makes it worse
Honestly, the pose segment made this all seem worth it.
Thank you
That removable claw system is RIDICULOUS. Have no idea why Mondo thought that would be a good idea. I can only imagine how easy it would be to snap off one from the knuckle port while trying to change them.
Small company and early days. Hard to say how they might change it going forward
Just subscribed ,your reviews by far is 100% legit ,keep doing what you are doing....keep it real sir!
Thank you so much!
“Who was involved? Super7?” BAHAHAHA💀
😂
When a ball joint is loose I add super glue and move the leg around till it drys. Gives it some texture for better grip
Awesome tip!
Dude. Your care for the box is inspiring. I have never cared about anything as much as that. I should care more.
lol. Sometimes it’s worth it if you end up selling it
@@NostalgiaUnboxed No, I get it. I should care more. You do a good job conveying the product. Thanks!
for ball joints like that , you can brush on clear floor polish, or I just get bottles of clear coat paint.
Will do! Thank you
@@NostalgiaUnboxed just make sure to let the paint or polish dry with the leg off because i was a dummy the first time and it acted like glue and it was a pain to get the leg back off so that i can start using the joint lol... its a common first time mistake that I just want to keep you and others from having to go through
I’d maybe stick something inside the leg socket like maybe a little bit of tape, it could help give the leg a little more support. Aside from that this figure is beautiful🔥
Thank you
Try contacting mondo about it. Their customer service is great and even though you got it on secondary market, maybe they can do something for you
Mondo is what NECA used to be.
Yes, contact Mondo.
I hear great things
Have they announced Cyclops and Rogue? I have wolverine opened and luckily didn’t have your leg issue. I have the poor man’s vanilla unworthy regular edition. He is the only one I have open. I have some of the others but don’t want to open them until I feel confident they will release at least the main roster. Beast was always my favorite.
They definitely need to make a Beast. I do not believe they have an official announcement on Rogue and Cyclops yet. just the tease photos we have from (I think) PowerCon
YMMV but personally I like to put some thin coats of Pledge/Future Floor Polish on the ball joints like this, let them dry fully (24hr), test, repeat until it's tight enough.
Great idea!
Huh. Well that was random af.
I went to the same community college sculpting class that Hector Arce went to a year prior, and he would often stop by and talk to the newer students. He was working on doing concept work for some big budget Hollywood movies at the time and later on he sculpted a bunch of busts and statues for Premium Collectibles. Didn't know he helped sculpt this figure, though it doesn't seem surprising as his earlier works displayed at the school were mostly comic book characters like Spider-man and Venom.
Now I gotta check all my Mondo figures to see if he sculpted any other ones LOL.
That’s amazing!!
put a coat of clear nail polish on that hip ball, it might fix the loose leg issue. this trick works great with mcfarlane figures but don't know how well it will work with the heavier limbs of a figure of that size.
Thank you!
He looks so freaking awesome. It's unfortunate about the loose leg. Makes me think twice about getting him
I would be more concerned about the rest of him than the leg. I don't think that issue is very common on him
For $200 dollars ($180 in your case) is absolutely ridiculous with the paint issues, packaging not being able to remove everything without damaging it and of course that leg issue.... jeez i was dumbfounded when i saw it just fall off like that. The most ive spent on a single figure was from Furay Planet (Veteran William and Blade Master Weng) which ran me around $90 with shipping included and those figures are my favorite figures i own. I highly recommend them, as far as paint, articulation, accessories and size your definitely getting your monies worth. I plan on buying their Samurai Rabbit (Usagi Yojimbo ko lol) and the Hyena figure they revealed. Ohh i forgot they include a comic too . Sorry again , it sucks you spent that much money on a broken figure. I was thinking you might try to apply a layer of glue on the leg peg hole let it dry before reattaching and keep adding layers until you get a snug fit. Of course you shouldn't have to do that when you spend that kinda money but it should work. Have a good one 🙏
Yeah, those Furay figures look pretty incredible
It's ridiculous any action figure is $200
Gonna wait for the secondary market to come through and produce replacement pillows with Jean Grey printed on it.
Hahahaha
Wow love this!! Love your channel I’m a new sub.
Thank you so much!
“Hector Arse” lol
Lol
Bummer about your experience, dude. Doesn't hurt to drop Mondo a line and see if they can do anything for you. I got this figure and one of the heads had some glue or something around the nose and when I got Magneto I got two open, left, hands instead of an open left hand plus one with a magnet in the center for his effects. In both cases I reached out to see if they could send a replacement/missing part and in both instances they just sent me a whole, new, set. It's kind of crazy, but my buddy got a pair of free figures out of it. I like this Wolverine, but he's probably the worst of the four released. He is almost an inch too tall to be sixth scale and it throws him off when posing with Jubilee, Sabretooth, and Magneto. His parts are also harder to swap and each, successive, release has gotten better about that. I do love the claws though (double, bladed, freedom rockets!) and the extra bits, but he's definitely a bit rough around the edges. If Mondo can't help with that leg, coating the hip-ball in some super glue and letting it dry before putting the leg back on could tighten that right up for you.
I hear good things, but that sounds like some exceptional service!
The height on that guy is crazy, it's like cartoon Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman
Haha yes
That loose leg… man what a buzz kill. It’s like the scene from Toy Story… “you’re broken now…” drops toy into the abyss.
Hahaha
Despite its flaws my 2 favorite wolvies are the brown and yellow suit from Mafex. I love them
Nice!!
You can put one drop of crazy glue on the pall joint it will thickend it to be tighter
Definitely needs it. Haha
These look amazing, but we have been through so much with Legends. Gojng from Toy biz making awesome figures, with great accessories, to hasbro making crummy ones, then arguably better ones than toy biz. I just don’t know if I can put trust in $200 ea figures like this. Especially when out the gate we have issues like this. The Jubilee looks amazing though, but I still don’t like the cell shading.
This one is their first figure. Everything since seems to be fantastic (like Jubilee)
Wolverine is about a head taller than Jubilee in the animated series, so it is pretty spot on. lol
This isn’t doing that at all
i would try to put some sticky tack in the ball joint in the leg to try to fill out the connection
Good tip!
Maybe the tissue paper was there for your tears over the figure🤣. In all seriousness though great video as always, Definitely worth the wait.
Hahaha, def for tears
Nice poses, would’ve been nice to see a recreation of the scene from the episode tho
There's always someone that can't be pleased
@@NostalgiaUnboxed well even the box doesn’t have the same background as the episode so I guess it would be tough to recreate it anyway
I expected the rogue image in the frame xD
Haha! 😂
Sorry about the wonky leg. If you can figure a way to fix the leg. Let the community know. The Super 7 joke was hilarious and so true😂
Some folks have said super glue and move it around until it dries. Others said furniture polish and then there's something called Kiki's
I own #61 out of the collection. I recently had Cal Dodd autograph mine. Crazy enough I was speaking to his wife for about an hour before I met Cal and had no idea it was her. They were both amazing. His wife text me a picture of Cal with Kevin Conroy right he passed. Remarkable voices of our childhood
That is amazing
I thought they need a Wolverine redux with accurate height and better head sculpts anyway because there’s only one that I like. The sculptor for this figure is not Alex Brewer who did the rest of the figures in the collection.
Yeah, Alex does great work
I was done after the float pillow 😂
😂
damn when u said thanks for subing i actually did that wild great video and im here for the long run and im picking this up
good price too
I appreciate that. You’re welcome to buy this one. Lol
real big okay piece definite keeping in box
id really ask mondo to fix that they would have to u have proof its not been opened too
@@NostalgiaUnboxed anytime my man, not seen good comprehensive videos on these models in a while. and yeah this fig really just hits the spot and its still going for 200 bucks worth it tbh just re watched the og animated show and 97 hitting comic book store next
Def upgraded that photo bro
I think it was the most logical choice
So, I got a chance to get this, at retail, should I go for it? Love the Jubilee, Magneto and Sabretooth. Preordered the Logan too cos it looks sick. Maybe Wolverine needs a re-do???
That’s up to you by the end of this video. I shared my view. I’ll sell you mine for $160 though lol
@@NostalgiaUnboxed with the wonky leg and all 😂😂
@@a.s.f.6163 yep lol
@@NostalgiaUnboxed to be honest, the fact that you wanna sell it tells me all I need to know
@@a.s.f.6163 I thought the video would have done that lol
How weird I seen one of these yesterday at a toy shop and didn’t have a clue of what it was.
Destiny!
I'm ready for the return of X-Men 97 animated series.
The new series should be awesome!
Wolverine be lookin devious in that thumbnail. Like he’s about to smother a sleeping person with that pillow.
Nah, he is crying and holding it for comfort because he sucks
Some people still don't open their boxes, and that's who this was made for, but as crazy as paying 200 for this is, not opening it would be even crazier
It’s all crazy for sure
Get some clear nail polish and rub it on the round peg. A light layer of the nail polish will do. Let it dry and then pop the leg back on. What the nail polish does is just increase the size of the diameter of the round peg making the leg fit more snug and won't move around. Apply second layer if needed.
Best case scenario Mondo replaces the figure completely.
Thank you!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed To clarify use the same brush that comes with the clear nail polish. There is a brand called Sally Hansen you can find in any drug store. I spent hours researching different ways to fix a loose joint on an action figure and this did the trick though I saw others use some sort of floor polish. I used the clear nail polish to fix the arm on my Neca Wanderer as his arm would come off easily without any force when trying to pose him. Now I don't have issues. Best of luck!
Maybe try sticky tack to put on the ball joint!?🤔
I can try it
Still enjoyed the video and honestly it is a great looking wolverine imo ❤ keep em coming brotha
Thanks! Will do!
You can let a coat of superglue dry on that ball joint, then snap it back together, and it may help some. Geez, that’s not anything you want on a high dollar figure.
Thanks for the tip!
I’m gonna have to search to see if anyone made a video comparing this Wolverine with the “street clothes” limited version released later.
Yes
VERY COOL! THANK YOU!!!!😊
Glad you liked it!
i think this is good for me as long as its big and posable
You can buy mine
Your reviews are great
Thank you
@@NostalgiaUnboxed have you done a review of SSJ 4 Goku? If not then could you?
Hands down best Wolverine figure out there and not made from cheap plastic like marvel legends
I love Mondo, but this is not even close to being the best
It's called kiki fix loose joints, works good
Perfect!
Ah the infamous stinky leg, that's a bummer.
Hahaha, an absolute bummer
The only critique i have is when has anyone gotten anything where wolvy has claws out...when are the claws perfect? Ive never found one.
A hard thing to do I guess
@@NostalgiaUnboxed apparently, and tbh it does annoy me to no end, I think the only wolvy I have that the claws aren't screwy is the zombie pop I have
What your thoughts on bossfights bucky o hare
I haven’t looked into those, sorry
a physical meme template
Yes lol
uk here just laughing at the name "arse"
I know 😂
Take a page out from your buddy Mad Hatter and Lean him against the Wall like his Jean Grey lol
😂 and add some dust to the shelf
you might not be a metallica fan but are you going to get the super7 ultimates Cliff Burton figure?
I am a Metallica fan but that’s a huge no for me
@@NostalgiaUnboxed alright. i was thinking about getting it because i love metallica but i can’t find any reviews where the people take Cliff out of the box so there’s no real reviews that i can find. i might just get it and see for myself
Turkey leg is so random. Who eats turkey in bed? 😂
You mean to tell me you don’t?
Imagine how much easier collecting would be if Toys are us never closed
And what the do inside Macy’s is pathetic
I think you should check out tunshi studios metal slug figures. They are incredible. And they are doing king of fighters. The new Terry Bogard figure they are doing looks insanely good. The metal slug figures are top notch. Highly highly recommend them.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I bought this for my 12 year old. They choked on the pillow. Next time don't make fun. I m going back to bed to stare at a picture of my lost child.
Brutal
Mondo itself is already exclusive
Give me everything exclusive on exclusive
That is a major design fail. A figure that large the plastic is going to loosen from the ball peg rather quickly.
It’s unfortunate
I was literally just watching this episode last night. So weird.
How perfect haha
🕵Jonathan can you upload the part of the video where you remove the Wolverine figure from the box? I'd like to see that LOL!🛌🍗🖼📦
Didn't record that, sorry
Because how the package was made, i dont think I'd ever let Logan out. The whole presentation of this thing relies on that box! Lol
but what a boring review that would be lol
@@NostalgiaUnboxed i know, it's just not often I see collectables where the package is just as essential as the figure. Lol
Man...I'd be pissed. I don't own any Mondo stuff...I assume most of their stuff is better. Put some tape (masking...electrical...plumber's Teflon...etc ) on that loose hip ball joint to see if it tightens it up.
I can’t recommend the Jubilee enough and apparently this Wolverine is the only one that really is different from the rest
Wonder if they make metal claws for this guy?
Dangerous at this scale haha
looks like the 12inch marvel legends wolverine remains undefeated
Edit: +1 for the fingerless gloves
certainly have to appreciate the articulation on that one
Yeah for 180 to 200 I'd expect a lot higher quality and functionality
A total bummer, but I’m confident in their newer stuff
Bruh just thicken up the ball joint for the legs. There are multiple ways to do so. Clear coat spray paint, light spray of super glue or even just a thin layer of electrical tape.
Bruh
You need to ask for a refund, they forgot the lotion to go with the tissue paper 😂
Yikes
What episode is this from?
I don't know
I would never spend 200 for a toy that has all these imperfections let alone with no imperfections this is crazy
I suppose so
An incredible team of artists, and we will go over who all that is...for 15 seconds and then never bring it up again.
Yep
Wow for a July, 2022 release I am disappointed in the articulation. I’m a big fan of Wolverine and kind of glad I didn’t pull the trigger on the figure. Looks amazing though and if you where leaving it in the box okay
a $200 box makes me more sad
@@NostalgiaUnboxed very true. If they wanted the “display” to be reusable they could have made that box differently. Then at least you could have been able to pull it out and out it back in with little to no issues. Ooo well still liked your review :)
@@thetitus7691 thank you
@@NostalgiaUnboxed you are welcome. Side not did you see the clock tower diorama Neca displayed for their Gargoyles line made by Oilers Workshop. Seen his build video a couple months back and wondered if they would be showing it off at NY Toy Fair
@@thetitus7691 oh wow. No, I will go look for it now
“WOW…..”
indeed
Wow, that sucks about the leg. That much money and only onenleg to stand on. Ouch
A bummer for sure
Kiki loose joint fix is all you need for that leg bro.
Thank you!
Wonder if they’ll ever do a rouge and pose her in her meme image 😏
lol!
that level for sure needs Kiki
Definitely
Don’t be a sad boy baby, I love you 😂😎👍🏼
always sad
Lube up the Blade holes with chapstick or Baby oil or Vaseline so you can get them in and I out easily
😬
Do NOT use any petroleum based products on plastic. It will eventually soften and deform it, leaving you worse off than when you started. You're better off just putting a small ball of that white or grey "putty" used to hang posters in the socket, then replacing the leg.
As for the claws, powdered graphite.
@@Kneon_Knight I've been using clear chapstick on all of my figures wrist ball joints to reduce stress when swapping hands and have never had a problem. But Thansk for the heads up.
200 is WAY too much.
-Bare minimum accessories
-Broken leg
-Limited articulation
-Improper scale next to other figures of the same line
That being said, this is one of their first in the line and everything after has been fantastic. The leg is random and can happen to any brand, really. If I had bought it direct I would have emailed them about it. Their customer service is next level. They are getting my money for Rogue and Gambit already.
Good...derp.....words...video!🤣🤣🤣
😅
No! Don’t open it! Lol. I regret opening the Wolverine from the X-Men 97 1st Wave which is not even close to this. I don’t even touch my Logan 2-pack with Xavier. But this is numbered. Ahhh. You’re killing me bro! Lol.
OPEN YOUR STUFF
I don't care about nerd toys.... but this one hits for me.
We are so happy for you
That’s a bummer about the leg… if you bought it from a retailer, I’d send it right back.
a total bummer
That leg looks awful. I was really considering getting this but that gives me pause 😔
Then again, I have nearly every Super7 TMNT figure and I have never had a loose leg. But I always hear everyone talking about them. Maybe I'd get lucky with this too 😅
Haha, yeah, I imagine the leg issue isn;t so common
Mondo!! R.I.P.
Only this Wolverine. The rest are good
Sorry, bro. Spending that much money and ending up disappointed is a bummer.
Absolutely
Those are crying tissues.
100%
The tissue is for snik slashing
Wolverine comes with a pillow😂 maybe for stabbing.
😂
