1/6 Hot Toys - HONŌ STUDIO - Marvels X-Men - Wolverine Action Figure

[Luisenigma1]

160 is a steal this will definitely be Pre-ordered.

 

[Hologram AI]

Wow $160. Definitely getting him. Bring on Thor and Magneto!

 

[sj2106]

Exactly what the hobby needed. Reasonably priced, well made, comic book figures. I'll take these over $1000 silicone figures from JND any day.

 

[KerotanFrog]

Instant preorder for me. I'll still get the Deadpool 3 Logan, but this looks great and is a steal.

Price feels almost too good to be true but I’ll take it. Wonder how much he’ll be at OSK.

Also just a thought: I still think Hottoys will release X men 97 specific figures when the show releases on disney +, including Wolverine.

wouldn’t really make sense to given Hono is a subdivision of Hot Toys. But we won’t know until the time comes.

I actually prefer the Sideshow stylistic choices regarding the mask and claws. But obviously, the HT one blows the SSC one out of the water.

I actually do like many of the choices Sideshow made with their Wolverine. I even like the head, I just don’t like the mouth sculpt they put on there nor their body choice. I really wonder if putting the HT body on the SS figure will improve it at all.

sad to see hes 11.2 inches, accurate scale would be 10.5-10.7 with the ears

That 11.2” might by to the top of the ears . So he’s probably accurate height if you measure to the top of his head

Ordered..at that price…can’t resist

Cheaper materials? Less time on R&D? The HS doesn't look as crisp as usual.

I dunno, a clone trooper is just some moulded plastic over a bodysuit and they’re like $100 more than this without a headsculpt.

For $160 this seems like a no brainer. For the lower price point it looks great to me. Now I hesitate to order the third party animated Batman in case Hono/Hot Toys makes one.

Yeah, pricing on things like Troopers has gotten out of hand. Hot Toys could have easily kept the ones without sculpts under $200.

It feels like the only reason they’re priced higher is due to the Hot Toys branding and not wanting certain figures perceived as “cheap”.

The recent comic Iron Man and upcoming comic Spider-Man also feel like they should have been under this Hono brand.

Is Sideshow the only place selling him in the US?

BBTS has the figure too.

All US retailers that normally sell HT are carrying this product as well. If they don’t have the PO up yet, the probably will in the next couple of days

I grabbed mine at Timewalker.

 

[JacktheRipper]

I'm kind of disappointed it isn't at the $120-$130 price point that was speculated. I know, I know that wasn't a realistic price, but it was at one point. One hundred sixty is great, but I would have cried at $120.

I think this is intended to be a third party killer because as you say even a Trooper like the new Captain Rex these days is going for $260 with no HS.

If HT wasn't setting out with bad intentions toward third party competitors like Soosoo and Present Toys, this would be priced at a minimum of $230.

Howard thanks you for your support

Yeah guys, I don’t have any figures from “animated” collections but this looks pretty badass to me.

I also don’t love that the claws are so long, but I guess that exaggerated feature makes sense for this particular figure. I love the classic costume and the overall look of this!!

Howard thanks you for your support

Okay? If you don’t like it don’t buy it but this isn’t bad for a figure that’s under $200. What more would you really expect it to be?
