The faceplate looks pretty basic to me, no nuance, just solid flesh tone with a wash..and lipstick. The arms look good though.

I like it. I have the Sideshow brown suit and tiger stripe. Of course, Sideshow has always tried to make them with some realism mixed in there.
This is seems to aim more for a "cartoonish, comic" style.
But I see this offering more like something Threezero would do.
Specially if the pricing will be below $200 and is light on accessories.

Great post. There's more than one way to compete with InArt. You can try to beat them at their game or hit an entirely different pricepoint. Plus it's not like fans haven't been asking for comic-style Hot Toys for the last ten years.
It's not the same font and this isn't a marvel studios line. If it was it would say Marvel Studios and X-Men 97 beneath it. This is just a marvel comics line.
Wow! $160! Feels like it’s missing $100 of Hot Toys normal price. 
Dude! $160?! That’s amazing. That’s like Threezero figure prices.
Yeah like...what's the catch?
To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hot toy priced that low at retail, and if they continued I with this business model and simple character designs like these with other characters, and maybe even a premium here and there, they would dominate! but I doubt that happen that would happen bc I’d be in trouble

Yeah, I would have loved to see 5’3” Wolverine scaled down.
Why is it so cheap though? This is the price troopers should be.
Maybe because they don’t have to pay for an actor’s likeness?
Cheaper materials? Less time on R&D? The HS doesn't look as crisp as usual.
Agreed and it’s really showing just how inflated Hot Toys’ prices are. People are going to be far less likely to drop $260 on a similar figure now. Curious to see how this upcoming Spider-man does now with Wolverine showing he should be under $200.
Rolling eyes, spot on likeness, lots of accessories are all going to be expectations of anything over $160 now. Going to be interesting to see what else the economy class line has in store.

Ordered mine from Sideshow.
quick turn around at Q3 2024 with a price of $160
that's a W to me
the fewer accessories and no fee for actor likeness probably helps a lot, will be interesting to keep an eye out on this line. this is only like $40-50 more than mafex lol and it's in threezero's price range.. this is good competition

I swear if this had a hyper-realistic, traditional portrait, people would be saying that it was too detailed for a comic book inspired look and that companies love to intentionally **** up the *aesthetic*.
Y'all literally got a near exact recreation of -the- Wolverine people think of when they think animated, with a fabric bodysuit that's poseable to boot, and at a price which is insanely appealing. A price that competes or beats the third party animated offerings, even. I'm genuinely surprised this isn't being received as a win by the vast majority.
If I had to make one nitpick, it'd be that a pair of fabric briefs would have been welcome. But paint color uniformity is achieved by this so it seems like a decent trade off.
What's cool is now the cost between 1:6 and some of the higher end import brands is closing. I love this idea of an entry model for HT. I mean hell, MAFEX figs are like $100+ now right?
Plus a translucent crotch cradle stand! That's been my ask for HT to transition to forever.
This feels like a dream come true for what this product is. I really hope this succeeds for them and blossoms into a full scale subline for the company. It's not what I collect, but I know this is really filling a niche that many, many people have desired it makes me happy to see others have the opportunity to enjoy it.
