Hot Toys - MMS 103 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Wolverine Figure

[EVILFACE]

Chrome is a coating, not a alloy like metal.

the claw really look and feel like metal. However, i tried with a magnet. Probably is aluminium ....

It looks great in your photo mywii. I think that is how i'll have mine when it arrives.

I understand how this sounds but I will say it anyway: wait until you get the shirt off and check out the new body. It is a shame to keep it covered up.

nice pose dude....if only HT cover those joints or use those ultra flexible rubber like 300......

another pose....

Yeah, that's the thing that bothers me most about 1/6th figures. In fact, I base my purchases around that spec: if there is no way for me to hide the joints, I simply don't buy it. In the case of Wolverine, the solution is to leave all his clothes on. Simple.

Maybe you should buy statues instead? Action figures need to have uncovered joints for maximum poseability. Rubber bodies restrict movement, hence HT only use them when they are aesthetically necessary.

They are saving it for DX.

I think the adamantium claw on the Hot Toys is a mixture of both plastic and metal... It really feels different to the touch.. Space age materials I think..hahaha.. Hot Toys did a great job with it... The Medicom version is nothing (except for the movie costume), compared to the Hot Toys Wolverine..



Here's how I like to display mine, with his white top... Sorry for the poor resolution.. Took this photo as a quickie...



But I think the white top is too short.....

 

[MaulFan]

I'm really curious to see these claws, all the HT Predator claws have been plastic wrapped in metal foil.

I too will be displaying him with the wifebeater, nice choice mate

On the other hand, statues don't move, and you are a slave to what the artists decide to create. So I have little interest for statues. As I was saying...many figures have their joints hidden, so it's all good. But I hope that in the future HT will consider using a Hellboy type of body more often. It may have a little bit more restriction whenever posing it, but I'm not interested in having my figures enter tryouts for the goddamn Cirque du Soleil. All I want is a realistic portrait of an icon.

There are only few metals with magnetic properties, three common ones Cobalt, Ferum (Iron) and Nickle (& Gadolinium, Dysprosium)... Also alloys with copper, manganese, or/and aluminium are also magnetic but they are non-magnetic alone.

If it's chromed plastic it's most likely vacuum metallized aluminium layer with a protective layer...

A more definite test would be conductivity (higher probability of being metal.

Will run some test when hopefully, I get my Wolvie copy today...

Well I performed a unplanned test on the claws when I got mine today. I tried to take the jacket and shirt off cause I couldn't get the arm articulation to work. The elbow joints were super tight on mine and almost unbendable. In the process I removed the clawed hands that were being a bit stubborn, next thing I knew they popped off and stuck right in the palm of my hand. Needless to say the blades left their mark and a little blood, I'm thinking plastic would've bent before going through flesh.

I am so running a current through this on Christmas. I wonder if it'd light my Christmas tree.

Is it possible to put the The xmen suit from the medicom version on the hot toys version ?

 

[Crimsonbob]

I doubt it the medi is way way to small for that.

 

[MaulFan]

No, you're only hope for getting Medicom's Wolverine costume with the HT is if you put the HT head on a Hot Toys slim body, the slim is about the size of Medicom's body, but the Medi suit is too small just about for the Medicom body, definitely won't work for HT bodies.

It's REALLY toyish compared to Medicom's, but it will fit and HT body, I bought this figure for the costume to have a trilogy Wolverine option, bought it before HT announced having rights to the trilogy, but it'll do until they make it.

This is true. If I wanted a figure without joints I'd just buy Premium Formats. A Wolverine figure that can't move would be pointless.
