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
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 🤣
@@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.
I was introduced to the X-Men during their Astonishing era, so the designs will always be special to me. When I picture Wolverine, this is what I picture.
Thank you so much for showing off that skin tone color. I’ve been struggling for years trying to find one and this saved me so much trouble in regards to painting faces😭
Same here, years and years of looking for a skintone that I can use right out of the bottle and sooooooo many that just looked weird until I found this brand. Now I feel I need to grab a few more just as backups.
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.
I remember in one of the streams, I think it was Dan that said they still have another new wolverine that he is more excited for. Can’t wait to find out which costume he is talking about
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 hope we get a X-Men: Evolution Wolverine, Astonishing and that show were the X-Men looks I grew up with so it would be nice to finally have good figures of both
your custom tweaks on this figure are phenomenal! such little details that really make a difference as far as the feel goes for an astonishing wolverine. well done my friend
Astonishing by Whedon is my favorite X-Men run of all time-and this is a fantastic looking representation of Cassaday’s work. I wish he had a boot cut, but aside from that, this is my definitive Wolverine.
I love Logan aka Wolverine because he is always the best at what he does and while I may not have this so cool figure, I will try to get him because I really like the head sculpts which match the art work and will go great with the team, Overall, Very great review on this new dope Astonishing X-MEN Wolverine action figure Robo
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.
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.
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.
Great review! I reckon they’ll push astonishing out quicker than we think, considering we’ve got three already. The unmasked head is amazing. I usually have all my wolverines masked up but this one… I think he needs to let those sideburns fly!
That Ord stands up! Don't listen to the hater in the video!. If anything, could be smoothed down with fine sandpaper but of course would then need a repaint but at a glance, the proportions and costume and head are all great work!
Was looking forward to this and it didn’t disappoint I really like the figure but I also wanted something more Cassaday flavored- mainly with the headsculpt. I want to get a custom one like that, it looks pretty much perfect
Great review my friend, astonishing is right up there with Giant sized and Jim Lee blue and gold as my favorite looks... And I do like the original ultimate X-Men as well 🤗
Just got my Astonishing Wolverine couple days ago & im VERY happy with it. I am hoping to get a Brown Suit Wolverine on the new pinless body in the upcoming Secret Wars wave.
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.
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.
@@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?!*
I love this. Astonishing X-Men 1-12 are among my favorites. But I gotta say.. the head.. I prefer the Toy Biz look. That head looks exactly like the comics. I do see what you are saying with this head. It DOES look like that Kitty/Colossus morning after scene, but I don't know.. it just feels off.
My favorite wolverine figure ever. Soooo so so good. One of marvel legends best imo. Enjoying it more than the mafex when i had that one. I just wish it included a stoic masked head too
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.
Highly anticipating your custom to this! I don’t like the arms and legs, the older bucks are WAY more detailed and the musculature looked much better with proportions. You see better separation between bicep/tricep/shoulder with the love traingle/hot claws Wolvie.
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.
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.
This is one where Robo does know. Great review. I was really onboard with this figure until I saw that it has no boot swivel. Does it hinder the crouching poses that much? Thank you!
Best wolverine since the tiger stripe animated series in general plus the buck needs to be used in every newly released wolverine from now on this figure is my favorite wolverine
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.
And not make it so deep so that the pivot point is higher, allowing for more movement. It's probably a safety thing though, or to keep it from popping out with the head.
@@RoboDontKnow any sort of 'for safety' stuff just annoys me too. Like, when these basic figures reach the 30 price point (because we know they will in the next few years) are we still going to be perpetuating this farce that they are kids toys that need this safety crap.....
Doesn't matter if it's meant for kids or not, if it's sold in retail store in the kid's toy aisle section, and these are, they adhere to a certain set of safety standards.
I was torn on this figure, i almost got it but im happy enough with the 97 and waiting for an updated brown suit. I hope they do a new xmen era wave, i dont like those suits but i would like a new cassandra nova and a new fantomex and danger from that era. Also yes armor really needs a figure
For another head with the smaller hair spikes maybe try the more trimmed Mezco wolverine head from their most recent tiger stripe one Only issue is it may be a bit big
With no boot swivel I had to customize a McFarland black ankle joint and some more mods to add articulation range to the torso and hips, trimmed the neck and shaved those love handles to give better Vcut visuals and lastly I put the 90 red Jim Lee XMen belt,...chefs kiss with other head sculpts, not those it came with.
I was pretty happy with the head Hasbro gave us until I saw your custom. The version of the mask Cassaday drew in the pages is inded better than the cover variants.
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?
I'm envy you (in a good way) that you can afford two of these, in Brazil we can barelly have one. The price here is like if you pay $299 for a $24,99 figure. Its crazy man. I do this comparisson because I went to US and the figures costs less than a regular meal, mostly. A regular meal in Brazil its like $40-50 bucks and the figure sometimes go above $300.
This is my favorite X-men team of all time and designs I have so much nostalgia for this the 2000s was my favorite era of marvel and this dude is perfect imo I had almost zero blemishes on my copy and no qc . I hope they round out the team with a 3 pack of colossus , kitty , and beast
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.
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.
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.
I regret ordered this from Hasbro pulse. Delivery date is in October??? They changed the date again! Before it was July, then September and October! Is it because I live in Italy?
They also should have given him black foot pegs instead of blue. When you point the feet down it breaks up the black stripe on the boot. They did it correctly on the 97 Wolverine.
I think that’s the problem with most newer Legends. At 6:15 you mention the dumbbell. I think they sink it too far into the neck and make the stick too long. I think it would be better to have a shorter stick and have the neck ball higher.
I agree, that's what I say every time they do it. I can only think they go that deep because it's sold in the kid's aisle and must adhere to those safety standards.
Hope they go back to the classic brown. I like the claws on this version.
Yup, new articulation scheme, claws finally sorted out, time to redo ALL the Wolverines!
I have a feeling that will be the Wolverine Dan's been hinting at as his favorite Wolvie of the year.

There was a new classic brown suit Wolverine that they revealed recently at a con, I think?
This mold/sculpt is INCREDIBLY AWESOME

I'm a sucker for the "ultra-articulation." Would love that to be the new standard!
There is ONLY one, Robo!
Only one what?
For stubble, try brushing on some blue pastel. Gives a very realistic effect at this scaler.
Thanks man I'll give it a shot!
I'd love to get that more stern Wolverine head
Just got my Astonishing Wolverine couple days ago & im VERY happy with it.
I am hoping to get a Brown Suit Wolverine on the new pinless body in the upcoming Secret Wars wave.
First action figure ive ever pre-ordered, makes me really optimistic about my Man-Thing pre-order!
One of the best Wolverine costumes finally gets a modern revamp.
I’m a little late but I was really looking forward to this video and I was not dissapointed

Yeah your custom makes the figure look way better

Sweet painted custom head.
I wish Hasbro would make more Wolverines with the thick, stylized claws that are on the X-Force Wolverine. I still love that look
How do you get that custom astonishing head sculpt 😭🙏
Camel toe is comic accurate lol😂
Don't camel toes go in, not out?
love you robo
Awesome!

what site did you get the calm masked head from?
Oh hell yeah bub
This is one where Robo does know. Great review. I was really onboard with this figure until I saw that it has no boot swivel. Does it hinder the crouching poses that much? Thank you!
Best wolverine since the tiger stripe animated series in general plus the buck needs to be used in every newly released wolverine from now on this figure is my favorite wolverine
Very cool
Welp, before customization, it'd be a GREAT New Avengers Wolverine.
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.
That's not a bad idea, hmmmmm....
Have you ever shown your custom paint or sculpt processes in a video? That Cyclops looks clean!
Wolverine came out accurate too. Like your method for the 5 o'clock shadow.
Dumbell is good, they need to do it at the bottom as well and just get rid of the u joint thingy stuff entirely already
And not make it so deep so that the pivot point is higher, allowing for more movement. It's probably a safety thing though, or to keep it from popping out with the head.

The rectangles is how I remember the suit, but thats new avengers wolverine I believe
Robo, you should read the Krakoan Era. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it 💜
For another head with the smaller hair spikes maybe try the more trimmed Mezco wolverine head from their most recent tiger stripe one
Only issue is it may be a bit big

Hey Robo Awesome review and mod! I wonder if the training suit Wolverine head sculpts would work with this Wolverine?
I was pretty happy with the head Hasbro gave us until I saw your custom. The version of the mask Cassaday drew in the pages is inded better than the cover variants.

I'd take both of those.

Heh, yeah, it's even different figure to figure on the same team.

Hold up.............that Batman Beyond shirt is too cool. Where'd you get it?
I like the default gloves, but the boots... I may have to follow your lead.
When it comes to X-Men, Robo Knows...
This is my favorite X-men team of all time and designs I have so much nostalgia for this the 2000s was my favorite era of marvel and this dude is perfect imo I had almost zero blemishes on my copy and no qc . I hope they round out the team with a 3 pack of colossus , kitty , and beast
Those 3 for sure, no exceptions. And then Armor, somehow.
Robo is the Bonebreaker hot claws wolverine belt compatible? That would be more accurate to the interior artwork.
Hmm, I'm sure it is. That's the body and belt I was going to use for the custom, didn't even think to swap that.
Does that unmasked Logan head put on the cowboy Logan from the sabertooth two pack?
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.

One day maybe in like 8-9 days I’ll see this.
You gotta think brown is one of the upcoming redo figures, especially with new parts and it's appearance in 97.
Beast looks like the lion from the "WIZ" lol
Now that they've done so many Logan Wolverines maybe we can get a Daken, Jimmy Hudson, Raze Darkholme, Honey Badger, and Laura looks.
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.

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.
first! (I joke) now I haven't seen the whole video yet, but still nice video.
Does yours have any paint transfer from the blue on the side to the under arm?
I hope hasbro gives us a non blue fur beast plus the version you customized. 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿
Oh yeah, I want ALL the Beasts. Original human form with X-Factor variants, blue, gray, AXM, New, all of them.
Now if only they can make an updated Brown suit
I regret ordered this from Hasbro pulse. Delivery date is in October??? They changed the date again! Before it was July, then September and October! Is it because I live in Italy?
They also should have given him black foot pegs instead of blue. When you point the feet down it breaks up the black stripe on the boot. They did it correctly on the 97 Wolverine.
Hmmm, very true.
I like this buck but I want to see it with the 97 cowl.
I think that’s the problem with most newer Legends. At 6:15 you mention the dumbbell. I think they sink it too far into the neck and make the stick too long. I think it would be better to have a shorter stick and have the neck ball higher.
I agree, that's what I say every time they do it. I can only think they go that deep because it's sold in the kid's aisle and must adhere to those safety standards.
Whered you get the Batman Beyond Shirt?
Did you know there is going to be a Todd Deadpool Wolverine figures coming
