Honestly the expression is too neutral for any pose besides a museum one. It’s funny because the art that they based it on for the background has the more proper angry expression that they should have followed. Still stupid of them to sell this as its own figure. Should have just been included from the start.

It’s one reason I’ll still stick with the original. I have four mouth plates to work with that can provide four very different expressions. This lacks that variety.
 
So, I pulled some X-Men Animated Series images off the Web, out of curiosity.., IMG_2222.jpeg
If you put this headsculpt on the first release you’d get the “Tom Holland Turtleneck”, which I guess is acceptable…?IMG_2223.jpeg
…but we’re basically getting this, although not as charming (and sans toothpick)IMG_2226.jpegThis is also a logical next step, since seamless bodies are on the table: Battle Damaged with the 😬 expression. Limited to 1500 copies, of course 😉

I was thinking of ordering that too back when it went up. But then I read the warning that it's made of resin and fragile. With my luck, it would come damaged or something.

This official head looks great. And I agree with everyone that the 1st 2 figures (yellow & brown) should've come with the head and mask. Unless your doing multiple displays with this guy, only die hard Wolverine fans would want 2 of the same costumed figure to have one masked and one unmasked. This should've been the limited edition instead of the Brown costume.

I have the Brown one, so even if I was gonna attempt to get one parted out the mask wouldn't match obviously. But I bet they do the Brown version too.... :lol
 
Looks great just not for me. I picked up the brown suit wolverine and may pick up a few others to reproduce the Secret Wars figures I had as a kid but I'll be passing on this one.
 
I’m probably in the minority but I don’t like the sculpt. The eyes are too wide set and the mouth too long. Even as a stylized “comic-version”, it looks soft. I’ve seen plenty of customs sculpts that capture Logan more accurately and more interestingly.

Also, the exposed neck, while common in certain drawings, never looked right to me. His mask (imho) should fit over the head akin to how Keaton’s Batman cowl sits in certain images (I realize it was torn off in Returns, but you get my point). Hes just pulling back the mask, there’s no reason it would roll down and sit like a scarf.
 
I was thinking Id just stick with the SSR sculpt, but it does kind of bother me that I wouldnt have a pulled down mask to properly get the look across.

As annoyed as I am, I may get this. I’ll also get the SSR sculpt.

My plan would be to use the spare body with the exposed neck and SSR sculpt for a Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 look.

HONO, quite playing around with Wolverine, with parts of Wolverine, that should've been included with the first Wolverine. Move onto another character already. Who are you, Threezero? Crafting a billion Snake-Eyes versions.
 
I actually really like this headsculpt and may even pick this up, but I have to ding HT and call them out for their BS tactic here. If this is what they intend on doing with their lower-priced, "entry-level" line moving forward then they're just going to alienate their fanbase.

I actually like this figure. It would be a different look other than the cowl versions; which I dig too. However, the way this line is shaping up I don't think I'll support Hono. The Initial description as "entry grade" seemed enticing. Then, they limit the Brown version. Now, they announce this when the original hasn't been completely shipped out to the masses. I don't think they'll be getting my money.

What they should have done is simply an unmasked version with a new outfit.

Hell, you know more are coming.
