Hot Toys - MMS187 - X-Men: The Last Stand: Wolverine

[a-dev]

Those are recasts, not originals

I figured. I'm just amazed they're already doing the rounds.

So I'd best stick to my usual ebay sellers if I want a genuine one.

Is this due in before Loki?

 

[stshammgod]

Hope so because the paint jobs look like ****ie.

Honestly, I think the recast paint jobs are quite close to the originals. The Origins Wolverine recast paintups are pretty much indistinguishable from the real deal.

I've seen some crappy ones, but these look quite good. Side by side is the only real way to tell though.

Don't think so. I still have a live order that I placed for him a few days ago on SS and I've gotten no charge notice. But someone said they had sent them recently I guess for those that placed orders early on.

I just bought this guy from animarket.com - has anyone done business with this company before? Their postage is expensive, so at the least I hope it arrives soon.

I've been on the fence for a while, but decided to pull the trigger! I think the sculpt / expression is really fitting for the character (when he's going berserk - very wolf like), I see a lot of Jackman in there also… and I actually like the superhero costume over the casual attire (tailoring looks phenomenal). He seems very posable - looking his best with his chin pointed down in attack mode. He's going to look fantastic next to my other Marvel character figures!

My only real criticism is I think the teeth need to be separated / sculpted better and off white / played down, but I look forward to seeing the figure in hand - as it might not be as noticeably bad. Shame it doesn't come with a second head sculpt… at the very least a cigar and another set of clawed hands pulling the middle finger… now that would be awesome!!! They could of ditched the cheap looking light up base and dropped the price a little. Hard to think this figure is only $30 cheaper than the RRP of Ghost Rider when it came out (whom came with a second head sculpt and a motorbike - both with light up features)!!!

My main reservations were with the price point, but I' rather get it now than miss out. Hot Toys have been strange with product editions, hard to know what to make of it… Hulk sold out 2-3 months before release?… other figures linger (Classic Predator, DX Skywalker - both amazing figures). I find all the secondary market prices on ebay absolutely disgusting (it's actually putting me off this hobby). Didn't HT release more product of the first T2 T-800 after it sold out? I think this is acceptable for these collectables if its done in a timely fashion. If my wait list for Hulk wait-list doesn't get converted I'll be upset

I think this release is far superior than the Origins figure (outside of the price point). Origins Wolverine was always to me, just too 'pretty'. Like the Origins release, I think this figure will be very popular in the aftermarket. Last Stand Wolverine is just too much of a great character figure to deny!!

Does 240 in stock shipped sound too good to be true?

For one thing he is an international ebay seller.

At 240 for a 235 msrp, this guy loonten has zero profit.

Should i go with timcett at 268?

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

$235 isn't the MSRP in their area.

I'm HOPING.. they do a Logan from DOFP - like that leaked on set footage shot, of him in the brown leather jacket.

THAT look would make for one FINE Logan figure.

Probably the same buyer I went with. He has 100% feedback and has been great with communication. Just checked status and it left HK today.

Edit-sorry just saw you provided seller name. The guy I went with was fesupershop.

What leaked photo? I can't seem to find it

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

It's in the DOFP movie thread I'm pretty sure..

 

[Gipetto0812]

It's not really a leaked photo when the director purposely put it on his twitter unless you're talking about another one

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh whatever..

Yes.. that one.

I went with timcett myself, not really a good price but I wanted to deal with a top seller with nothing but great feedback. I will say I got it in less than a week packed great and got an ironman 3 bag too.

I just got my final payment charge and shipping notice for May 20.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

I want a charge/shipping notice

Lovin' the 70's look. I think I had some of those exact outfits.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

I'm not digging the 70's look...where's the "future past" outfits like storms?

Looking forward to getting this just as is
