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

[Hologram AI]

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.

I wouldn't mind the head but not spending extra.

 

[maalmurph]

So, I pulled some X-Men Animated Series images off the Web, out of curiosity..,
If you put this headsculpt on the first release you’d get the “Tom Holland Turtleneck”, which I guess is acceptable…?
…but we’re basically getting this, although not as charming (and sans toothpick)This is also a logical next step, since seamless bodies are on the table: Battle Damaged with the expression. Limited to 1500 copies, of course

Claws are still too long... shorts are still too thong.

 

[Johnny Utah]

They nailed Jim Lee's Logan. I'd get it if/when they make a full Logan figure.

 

[SwedishHeat]

So much for being "entry-grade."

$320 for a basic-*** Comic Wolverine with an unmasked head.

I have the Ssr head on order with kit and gonna stick with it.

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....

Hono Studio figures will be half the price of Hot Toys but you'll have to buy it 3 times to get a "complete" figure.

I'd be fine with them doing this IF they announced 3 versions at the SAME time to let customers decide.

 

[MxBxM]

Gonna wait for the snarling variant or screaming one

 

[evenflow]

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.

 

[DrWeaponX]

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.

 

[Bleah]

****s and a thong. Nice.

 

[Raleig.h]

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.

 

[loki2371]

Up on Sideshow for $175..

Wolverine Unmasked

So an extra $15. I guess the unmasked head and cowl is more expensive than a masked head with 3 swappable face plates and 6 swoosh effects..

 

[KitbashOfficer]

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.

 

[Chopper Face]

Now this… is some *********.

 

[gmoney5000]

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.

 

[JacktheRipper]

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.
