1/6 Hot Toys - HONŌ STUDIO - Marvels X-Men - Wolverine (Brown Suit) Limited Edition

[KitbashOfficer]

I'm with you 100%. SSC was never going to do these characters the kind of justice they deserve, and now that Hot Toys seems to be going all in, DC is the next big thing for me. When I think of comic styled 1/6 scale figure, brown Wolvie and Spiderman would have been way up my list, but now that we have those, a Neal Adams styled Batman is probably my number 1 want. But frankly I would love to have all the classic, bronze age Justice Leaguers. In the Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez style.

But why stop there?

Marvel-wise I'm hoping to get more of the classic late-70s through mid-80s designs for the more important characters.

They've solicited so many Marvel since starting late last year plus missed Batman day, I'm wondering if they'll even touch DC properties. BTW...in your Marvel pic there, who the hello is below Daredevil next to Black Panther???

He's got a great 70s vibe though.

Definitely a fun figure to mess around with. Looking forward to more from the Hono line.

Hoping for Nightcrawler to go with him.

So, had my Wolverine delivered today. My Buddy's yellow was delieved a few days ago and he had a claw fall out (like some others) and a chip on the black on the mask above the eye. I gave mine a good look over. Everything was fine till I pulled my sword out. It has some red paint chips on the top of the blade near the end point, so 3 little spots where it shows silver...

Hard to get my phone camera to focus in on it to take a pic.

Anyone else have bad luck?

I did get from Sideshow. I have not contacted them yet though. Just got mine in on Friday. My chip isn't nearly as bad as your though.

Anyone else noticing some differences in the poseability of this and the other Wolverine figure? I find this one has a harder time moving his arms into extreme poses, particularly rotating the forearms, without fear of breakage.

Agreed. I’m a little turned off by some of the limitations. It’s still a great figure, but the limits become obvious after awhile.

I broke my Wolvie's right arm shoulder peg trying to swivel mine. It rotates now after messing with it and fixed the ball peg. What a beeyatch. In case anyone wants to see the arm without the silicon skin. The swivel point had electrical tape wrapped around it for some reason so I added a new piece.

 

[karamazov80]

Damn. Sorry to hear that. Glad you were able to fix it though.

Thanks man. I only spent 82.00 on him but I was gutted when that peg snapped. I have the yellow version but this is my favorite suit for Wolverine so I had to do something. Relieved for sure.

Where'd you get those nice simple stands for Wolvie and Spidey?

I noticed them too.

The stands are from ebay and the decals are from Evilface here on the board. He does great work, btw!

Omega The Unknown

Yeah I vaguely remember him. I started collecting in the mid 70’s when comics had just gone up to 25cents

I don’t remember him being around that long though.
