Hot Toys-MMS 220-The Wolverine-Wolverine 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure

[Ralph_Sutter]

I'm really looking forward to seeing your modded sculpt. I might pick up an extra to experiment on if I like how yours comes out! I really do think the likeness is in there, just buried.... Dat stache tho!

All in all, I am happy with how it came out, and am extremely excited to get mine on Monday! But there is really NO reason for that stache to be on there.

Thanks dude. I just started working on it. I am in the process of stripping all of the brown paint/hair around the mouth to better match the actual facial hair from the film.

I'm using regular (non-acetone) nail polish remover, that I am applying with one side of a Q-tip and then rubbing with the other.


It takes some time for the paint to come off, and afterwards you are left with this.



As you can see there is (lighter) exposed resin, so I'll touch that up with a darker wash to match the main skin tone. I'll probably dry-brush some black/grey on the upper lip to give it a bit of a stubble effect, but that's about it It definitely looks 2000x better than the stache and soul patch combo.

Matching that paint work is going to be killer though...

If I try it, I'm going to try to take off just a tiny bit of the hair paint.

Wow man, world of a difference IMO. Guy is no longer a homeless mariachi.

Looking forward to your finalized work as well!

Does anyone know the chances of Hot Toys making a Days of Future Past Wolverine? I'm debating whether to buy this Wolverine or wait and see because i really like his costume in DOFP.

 

[FreedomAndGlory]

Oh HELL YES. I'm definitely going to try to pick up an extra sculpt to do this with, though. I'm not at all confident in my ability to match the paint work post-removal. It already looks SOOOOO much better!!!

Me too, I'm just going to try to lighten it rather than take it off, I think.

I'm not saying the claws on the figure are any more accurate, but in The Wolverine, his claws were actually noticeably different from the other movies...

In TW they come completely out between the knuckles and not from the back of the hand at all.

 

[Gipetto0812]

That's great. got a link to them?

I do! planning to just yank the claws out and fit them to a pair of HT Wolvy fists. it'll be cheaper to modify the fist than buy HT wolvy claws just to replace the claws

Excellent. Thanks for the link.

 

[Ralph_Sutter]

Thanks guys. I expect to have my first painted images up tomorrow. Just went out and got a bunch of acrylics and some varnish.

Look forward to seeing the results.

Recieved mine yesterday! I think it looks great!

Current position in the display. I'll be making some changes later on.

​

Beautiful pics fellas! I can't wait to start taking my own pics tomorrow evening.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

I looked pretty closely to the claws and they are definitely the style from the first 4 films. Although the claws are different in The Wolverine, they are not new claws on the figure

 

[Ralph_Sutter]

A little more progress, started on the first skin tone wash layer. More skin layers tomorrow, then repainting the hair and stubble.

 

[optical20]

looks really good ralph sutter, I 'll keep on following your progress.

Hello Ralph I just sent you a PM
Thanks

I am not too familiar with custom bodies, so if somebody can tell me if this body will fit just fine with the suit? I am planning to use the suit for my tony stark.

That might be a be a bit skinny.

This is the Wolverine body type:

I think these two are the TTM19 compatible types:
