It's just the way the split of his beard is sculpted and because it's solid and not transparent like hair, it looks like it's his face.

Now that the movie's out, I'm really excited to get this figure.
I was excited when the movie first hit back in May however, the anticipation grown since I can watch the movie anytime.

Awesome. I'm excited about the figure, but not that pos movie.

I had a chance to watch the first 20 mins last night, does it get worse? It seemed alright (20 mins I watched)
I really don't get the negativity towards the movie, I mean it wasn't as good as X1 and X2, but I thought it was still a good addition in the series. Fortunately, my X-Men familiarity is limited to the movies so maybe that's why, I have no attachment or knowledge on the background of these guys to get hung up on stuff and it seems like part of the disliking of the film stems from unhappiness with how characters were handled.

Actually I find some of arguments against the movie show a lack of knowledge of Wolverine from the comic books.
For instance Logan living in a log cabin with Silver Fox. This happened in the comics and he even carves there names on a tree
Well, the main arguments I recall are the CGI, which wasn't the best ever but wasn't atrocious, I thought, either, and the portrayal of some of the characters, particularly Deadpool, but again, I don't know what he should be so I enjoyed it.
I thought the 2 core roles, Logan and Victor, were both well played, Jackmans is awesome as Wolverine and Schreiber was perfect for Victor, it's a shame he wasn't cast in X1 and could actually make Sabertooth interesting in that movie.

I watched this movie for the first time earlier this week. Well lets just say that I sold the blu-ray yesterday. 
I went in with low expectations. So, I was expecting stupid things like:
I also was expecting them not to stick to the comics:
The CGI did look terrible, especially on Blu-ray. Wolverine's claws looked cartoonish like that singing Sinatra sword in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Again, I can look past that.
The worst part was that the action was dull. The Wolverine-centric action scenes didn't even come close to the mansion-defending scene in X2 and, to a lesser extent, the scenes in X3. It was just dull. That is the unforgivable part. Wolverine wasn't slicing up baddies, he was cutting sinks and fire escapes. There was less brutality in this than the X-movies, which was a head-scratcher.
Again, I don't despise the movie, it just was a wasted opportunity.

Stryker typing in commands to Bakara-pool. "Decapitate" lol

Not a great movie. Not even sure I would call it "good," though it had some decent moments I guess. Might pick up this figure despite the movie, though. Beat the hell out of Fantastic Four, but that doesn't mean anything.

I will say this
This movie had the best Wolverine look of the whole series, that's why I'm so glad that a figure of Logan is being made from Origins

That would have been cool, and yeah, the best part of the X-Trilogy as far as action scenes was Wolvering chopping everyone down in the mansion, followed by his little hunt in the woods of X3, loved seeing him there as the animal.
To show how much of an impact X3 had on me, I literally don't even remember this scene
Saw that movie once, and never felt the slightest interest to watch it again.

All I have to say is that this figure looks more like wolverine than Jackman does.
Wolverine goes after Magneto's base camp alone to get back Jean and out in the woods he has to take out a bunch of Magneto's goons to get into camp, he's climbing and leaping from trees, cutting down everyone in his way, I really like it.

just finished watching the movie about 10 minutes ago.its a good rental IMO, coulda use a bit more jokes in some scenes but overall a decent movie.
Anyways, looking at the HT promo pix and I am really disappointed. I was not impressed when the promo pix first released and now its worse. Hopefully in-hand pix will be better.
