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

[Darkseed]

Probably, it seems to be getting a very good reception, I haven't noticed anyone let down with it and a lot of people who were iffy actually being turned to very enthusiastic upon getting it in hand. I think HT hit a homerun with it.

I was never iffy on the figure but the sculpt. In hand, this figure is awesome. I have zero complaints.

If Ed Norton does show up in Iron Man 2, and eventually the Avengers, I imagine they would use the same 2008 design for consistency.

Yeah, you're likely right. Bummer hey! At least I wont be having to scramble for a Bruce Banner figure.

I want a Norton Banner, but in the jean coat, bag over the shoulder look, if it's anything but that, I'd have to see what the overall package is like to make a decision.

Cool thing though, with the new RE5 light up eye figure, they could do a Banner where the eyes look normal unlit and then you can switch on a light and they glow all green and Hulked out, that'd be awsome.

I wouldn't call it a home run. Maybe if they'd gotten the sculpt right and included a cigar. Then again any Hot Toys figure is a home run to someone, but I get what your saying, because despite it's downsides it still came up as a decent Wolverine rendition. At the very least, the new body is a homerun and the major part of it's success.

Well I really meant homerun in sales, whatever is or isn't good about it, it seems to be well received and selling fine, which is what counts in terms of figuring out odds of getting this down the road as time goes on, I expect it to sell out pretty quickly and those with it will be charging a high price on the secondary market because they'll get it.

It's a homerun all around.

 

[creecher]

I can understand that. You're someone. In my game I'm the umpire and I call foul.

 

[EVILFACE]

If this is you being a umpire, I agree.

I don't get where anyone can call how well Hot Toys products sell. First you'd have to know the edition size.

Hot Toys Wolverine is popular for sure, but Hot Toys would be driven by pre-orders to set an edition size. It's sold out, practically before production. Being so popular, and that many people don't pre-order, demand will increase as time goes on, I'm in agreement there. It's because many people don't pre-order that Hot Toys doesn't oversaturate the market.

Sorry Evil, but I can't even be bothered looking. Not interested in baseball. I was just using the term mentioned in a context. Didn't mean to make you think I was really concerned with your incisive, derisive and divisive "It's a homerun all around." blind opinion.

You replied, so you were.

Good day, sir!

I agree, the head sculpt on Wolvie does look more like Hugh Jackman than the Thriller MJ figure does. That one doesn't look a thing like Jackman.

you know got the just of it though right? haha!.

Just cancelled one of my Medi Snakes and transferred the deposit to Wolvie. I'm so excited now to get this.

Good move, you won't be disappointed.

I've put the Medi X3 costume onto the 2010 TT body and it looks pretty good. Just had to shorten and sand down the wrist pegs. I'm just waiting for the headsculpt to arrive, then I'll post pics...

Here he is...

I had to use a long neck post (from TDK Batman).
I think he looks pretty good.

 

[Voorhees27]

I think he looks pretty good too, congrats man!

 

[Kuzeh]

That looks really nice!!...
I'm debating wether to get the whole figure or just the head to bash my Medi one...
