To be honest, some of the fake Wolverines look pretty close to the original and they have flooded the American market. I am probably over reacting, but I wouldn't touch a Hot Toys Wolverine right now even if someone was offering it for $200.
Example: I tried to do all of my research four years ago with the Sideshow Ironman comiquette to make sure he was legit before buying and it turned out to be a fake; the only way I found out was because he had a round aluminum foot peg and neck pegs instead of copper neck pegs and a square foot peg; I even compared him with the local comic shop and the paint apps were darn near identical.
I would wait for Hot Toys to rerelease him or just do without. That is just my decision and I am sure a few board members will disagree with me.
