I like this figure overall, but I think the shoulders are a glaring issue that is very hard to ignore. Those shoulders look way too small in relation to the rest of the body, and they totally throw off the figure's proportions and silhouette (IMO at least)
I seem to be in the minority, I love the colors. Love how it’s slightly brighter. Seems more comic booky to me. The only minor quip I have, I think the mask ears a tad to long
My own favorite Wolverine suit for Logan will always be the blue/yellow tiger striped suit but the brown/yellow from John Byrne looks very great too however I wished Hasbro included an angry cowled Wolverine head sculpt, Overall, Great review Dan.
The very first Marvel action figures were Mego figures. They had the 8-inch and 12-inch doll-type figures of both Marvel and DC characters. Remember, even the original action figure, G.I. Joe, was basically a doll with changeable clothes. But Mego also had the smaller "Pocket Heroes," that featured Marvel characters before the Secret Wars line came out.
This right here IS my favorite Marvel card back and I couldn’t be more excited to get these 6 figures! I have to believe we will get another wave or 2! Fun review mate and you’re killing it AS ALWAYS! 👏👏👏
I ordered the entire 40th Anniversary Secret Wars wave except Iron Man..& even tho I already own Retro Brown Suit Wolverine..I decided to get this version as well.
Could the brown have been darker? Probably, but the brown on this Wolverine is accurate to how the character's suit was colored in the 80s. Back then, the brown had a bit more reddish shade to it, and I'm glad it is depicted on the Secret Wars Wolverine figure. This is the brown I've been looking for in a brown suit Wolverine. Plus the buck and articulation just works for Wolverine, outdated or not.
A- when did the gray carded Brown Logan come out? Another exclusive I ignored because I knew I would never see it? I’m fine with my Krakoa Brown Logan….for now. B- I had this OG guy (black claws), but I’m already noticing the brown is too narrow above the belt buckle. Art = both sides of the buckle. Figure = narrower than the buckle. Aaand now I’m seeing the brown shorts extend onto the hips? 😱🤬😂 I have not seen this wave, but my Walmart did get in Spiderverse a few days ago. I found Gwen, 2x Miles, and India.
Sorry Dan , but I honestly prefer the other retro card 13:19 to this one . Always been a holy grail for me. Unfortunately have no nostalgia to this wave but am looking forward to beyonder and Titania
When you said "black suit Wolverine" I immediately thought "What If...Wolverine Got the Symbiote Suit?" and what a cool story that could've actually been.
I just managed to get a preorder in with Comics and Cocktails before Wolvie sold out everywhere in the Uk, Zman and myself might go on a Smyths hunt for Secret Wars Wolverine, this is probably my favourite figure from the wave with Secret Wars Cap a close second. Nice work Dan!
The head doesn’t sit right .neck looks to big , would rather had a more orange tone rather than yellow .defo gonna purchase for the collection but it’s not as good as i hoped it would be . I feel these are more to be kept mint on card. Great review
You mean mafex. Ct just did a bootleg. They make good ass bootlegs but it's just stupid to give them praise for the sculpt when they had nothing to do with it
13:12 Sorry to disappoint you, but the retro is better; the new one is modern, pinless, and has better material, but the color is ridiculous, and both faces are just horrible (masked looks like an idiot, and maskless is a stupid fat tiny toon). I pre-ordered and canceled after watching the reviews. Nevertheless, great video! Thanks
No problem at all, I agree I would have preferred the colours to be darker but I don’t mind the masked head at all. Would have gladly took an angry expression tho. We have so many Wolverines already I’m sure many many more to come.
This figure is so trash, lmao. Outdated articulation, low and super small shoulders, bad headsculpts, glossy colors, geez! CT Toys brown costume is way better, and it's bootleg lmao. Oh Hasbro, when will you learn or give a damn? Lmao

My cousin had a Secret Wars Wolverine back in the 80s with the black claws, crazy how they had variants back then.
the shoulder to torso ratio is outrageous 😂
This figure is a joke. They even f'ed the blades' color. Unmasked head looks like a werewolf. And that piggy pink...

Hasbro should've made the shade of brown darker on the ML version like the original Mattel Secret Wars Wolverine figure there.
My own favorite Wolverine suit for Logan will always be the blue/yellow tiger striped suit but the brown/yellow from John Byrne looks very great too however I wished Hasbro included an angry cowled Wolverine head sculpt, Overall, Great review Dan.
I have all the Originals from childhood bless my mom got 2 of each one to play one to store in box❤

Great review, thorough and I like the comparison to the last retro card and the vintage. I don’t need it. Thanks mate

For me i wish the yellow was a little more darker like what it looks like on the dang packaging
My mind’s eye is the darker brown and orange-not the yellow.
Cracking review. Can't wait to get him!
First appearance Wolverine is my favorite!
I love that they're coming with the holographic shields
40 years apart but the original has a proper human proportion and look 😂
They should have had stands if we got all the gimmick accessories, too. Would have been a chery on top. - Luke

14:49 Black Suit Wolverine?
😂😂😂 I caught that too lol

Love your review bro.

@@orionpax85 haha I say it with love and jealousy 😅🙏🏻 thank you

@@Emeraldnite-if7vo I realised I said that in the edit, oops lol well noticed 👌🏻
14:50 black suit wolverine? Im lost..
I just misspoke, I meant Black Suit Spidy but great spot 👍🏻
the only thing i like out of thisvis the lenticular wolverine sticker lol
Great review and comparison Dan! Can’t wait for this wave to convert on Pulse!
Awesome review🔥🔥🔥🔥
The arms are slightly different with more detail! Better then 97!
Those tiny shoulders look ridiculous.
Those tiny shoulders man
how did you get these so early in the uk 😂😢
Don’t know what’s hasbro obsession with tiny shoulders placed way too low on the body
I just managed to get a preorder in with Comics and Cocktails before Wolvie sold out everywhere in the Uk, Zman and myself might go on a Smyths hunt for Secret Wars Wolverine, this is probably my favourite figure from the wave with Secret Wars Cap a close second. Nice work Dan!

Stay chuned an look at this MAAHvul Legend
Where do you get marvel legends in the United Kingdom?
Plenty of independent UK stores. Star Action Figures, Indemand Toys, Comic&Cocktails, Kapow, Props&Replicas etc
The yellow on the nose is off 😑
Are we getting a black suit Wolverine?
G'day, mate.
I pretend this is the Australian Wolverine. 😅
They should have used astonishing body
Why get this when ct toys put out a replica mafex at the same price point as hasbro. Inferior sculpt, paint, and articulation
It looks like a carrot cake. Thanks bro, you saved me 30 euros. Straight PO cancelation.
CT TOYS is the move here
Ct toys did it better at 22$ without the orange nonsense and goofy grin
They were paying homage to the original figure. That’s why it’s painted like that
CT toys doesn't pay any license fee. CT toys = Mafex bootleg.
You mean mafex. Ct just did a bootleg. They make good ass bootlegs but it's just stupid to give them praise for the sculpt when they had nothing to do with it
This!

Good, how can collectors stand buying this? Look at the hideous proportion, trash!!!
