This fig is so close. I really like the sculpt and painted arm hair. The claws are actually pretty nice. He’s a little big but it’s not too bad. The limited torso articulation is understandable to me cuz he’s bulky but the missing boot swivel really limits things and the missing neck hinge is just sort of a kick in the teeth. Not only is he kinda tall for a Wolverine but you can’t even pose him in crouching stances cuz he just stares at the floor. Really sucks too cuz all of these issues are solved on the 97 version that’s been on my shelf for months.
I wanted the 97’. Tiger stripes yellow suit (the retro card has one but he doesn’t have the cowl’d head, just 2 unmasked heads)but I like this look too minus no boot swivel, I’m digging the other updates. Plus he’s got extra accessories.
This is why I’ve dropped ML for mafex. Hasbro continues to make minimum improvements and at the same time make things worse. You end up buying three of the same wolverine figures with slight improvements while Mafex makes one sick ass wolverine figure with great articulation.
Neck dumbbell joints are amazing. Too bad hasbro doesnt know how to execute it properly. They bury the ball joint too deep in the neck. If it was short and shallow on the neck, it would have been awesome!
No, I didn't like the figure at all, ended up returning him! I could've modified the neck and torso, but decided not to. I'll wait for them to release brown suit and tiger stripe versions on this body, and if need be, I'll mod those. But this costume was never a favorite of mine and I didn't "love" it enough to justify ~$28!
Because they’re idiots who don’t know that for a ball peg to articulate the top section of the ball must not be covered or hindered but dipstick Dwight and them think it makes sense to make useless “engineered” parts.

Yeah, totally agree
Wait what, you did t like him? He has decent articulation, except the shin swivel. I've modified the diaphragm and neck joint, moves 10x better.

I hate the legends ball peg neck. Bring back disc hinge. Stated back with hulk in 2019. His neck ball peg sucks.

Too bad that bullshit can barely articulate
(sigh) I know...
