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

[MaulFan]

I have a feeling X-Men trilogy figures will be limited, I think Wolverine's a sure thing, and after that, could be nothing, could be just a few. Prof. X is probably unlikely, I think he'd suffer like Harvey Dent did, there are only certain characters that have real selling power that HT sees worth doing. Hell, they didn't even give us a Schreiber Sabertooth and I thought his performance was awesome and would make for a really cool figure to have with Wolverine.

I think there's enough Stewart and X-Men fanbase that a Professor X would do well, but only if the likeness was spot on. The wheelchair would really set him apart. I honestly don't think we'll see one though. He's on my pipe dream wishlist.

I imagine Magneto is a shoe-in when they get around to Trilogy figures.

 

[MaulFan]

I would have thought Two-Face would be really popular, and maybe the innaccurracies are what hurt it.

The probelm is, the grand collector base is made up of fans of multiple properties and so HT competes with itself for people's dollars. If they make Wolverine it sells because there's enough support to get him on top of Iron Mans and Jokers, if they do Professor X agains Iron Mans and Terminator 2s, a lot of people are going to put the money towards the other stuff.

 

[MANDO]

Innaccuracies and that shoddy jacket really hurt Two-face and I imagine the delay in DCD getting there's did as well.

At this point I'd be surprised if we got more than one or two Marvel figures from outside of the IM2 liscense. I really expect to see at least six figures from that one including two Iron Mans and possibly more than that. Although Blade was quite a surprise I thought since that franchise has been dead for a couple years at least. I still think Ghost Rider is a strong possibility as well though after that shot of one of the HT offices.

HT Announced Spiderman, X-Men and Blade trilogies for Marvel licenses over the summer.

I expect for sure, Blade himself, red-blue Spidey, and X-Trilogy Wolverine, we've already seen blade, I expect Spidey next and Wolverine last because they won't show that off until this one's well sold off.

 

[MANDO]

The Blade announcement was still a bit of a shocker, though a welcome indeed. Spiderman is long overdue, the vinyl medis leave a lot to be desired.

Well, here's my thoughts on the Marvel figures.

Blade, fairly easy to do, so they put him out first. Spiderman's film costume is fairly complext and requires a fair bit of R&D, so he gets bumped to later, Wolverine was just put out so they won't put out another Wolverine until they've pretty much sold off the first, so Spidey gets bumped to second, unless he takes so long to figure out that they still put Wolverine 2nd. Of course, other blade figures could show up, but I figure the core heroe from each will be the first from each trilogy to be done. I just hope Wolverine is X2/X3, or the whole trilogy in 1 figure.

According to the pic posted some time ago, I believe Ghost Rider will be the second figure released. Spiderman or Wolverine v2. either order will be fine IMO for 3rd and 4th. Unless HT makes XMO:Sabertooth which I prefer in the number two slot.

I think Magneto is a shoe in. If not the trilogy version then most likely around the time they release his "spin-off origins" movie, they're suppose to do, He'll get a figure based around that.

I'm not so sure we will not be seeing more members of the x_men if only because they got a liscense for all three films.
No idea who, however, but I would like to see a rogue.

Wish i could afford.

Last I read was they were merging the Magneto spin off with the young X-Men one, since that one will deal with a younger Magneto and Xavier.

I think we'll get a Storm and maybe a Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Professor X.

Hey everyone I just got my Hot Toys Wolverine! He rocks!!!!! i got him for X-mas from my wife and went straight into the display case after positioning him PERFECT!!!. I have a few Christmas Questions for some of you who have had him a bit since release. actually two questions straight and forward.

1) Do any of you notice when the fists are straight even that the left hand claws look like they are not as straight as the right hand? is it the hand mold or the claws? and i am wondering if every one else is getting the same thing, because i have to bend the wrist in to make then look exact on either side.

2) also i noticed my right arm socket at the elbow popped out while bending with shirt and jacket on. I wonder because of the thickness of the clothes if it will be a regular common thing. I was able to snap it back in, has anyone had this happen yet and do you see it becoming a big issue?

I can show photos to anyof you if needed later of what im talking about

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Congrats on getting him; fantastic Chrissy present!

I've noticed the difference in the claws too. I was trying to get each arm and fist perfectly the same, but the claws don't seem to match when the fists do.

Those pictures look great guys! I can't wait to get mine!

 

[Marvel-ous]

I want a Storm! I want a Storm! With full breasts that bounce and an ass that makes you forget why we have one in the first place!

Please HT...Storm! Storm! STORM!
