Hot toys Wolverine preview pic

[Crimsonbob]

Since you're the only one who's ever complained about it......
NO!

 

[Predrhone]

I agree with what everyone has said... a more refined Jackman headsculpt, as well as an alternate more "feral" portrait, as if he were just about to go berserk. I think that would make it more palatable.

Not the best likeness however that tailoring is beautiful! I'm gonna get this from a local store and buy a custom head...however! With a price like this a custom head should not be necessary

I'm wondering if it's being worked on and that's why Sideshow only has the preview photo to show off, they've obviously photographed the whole figure as that catalog scan shows, so there must be some reason full photos aren't ready but SSC was authorized to begin soliciting orders.

Hopefully they have ask Yulli to redo the headsculpt.
I know I'm wishing for too much.

With hot toys you never know

This is Kojun's second sculpt that had to be refined...maybe he just isn't that good enough for Hot Toys.

 

[Centrocal]

Well its not a bad sculpt, the prototype is rarely ever perfect on first attempt. Even RE5 figures weren't right the first time.

How do Hot Toys count their points of articulation? The regular TT has 32 and Wolverine is marketed as having 30. Obviously they have lost one at the base of the neck where it joins the chest, or do they count that as two (forwards/backwards and side to side)?

 

[Centrocal]

They count the individual joints. im guessing maybe he doesn't have feet and the peg just plugs into the shoes Joker style.

Another item to support my conspiracy theory against XMO: Wolverine. :emperor

1. Movie leaked before May 1st
2. Before movie opened had bad reviews after opening day became worse
3. HT teased collector's with April fools joke
4. April fools joke became a reality as HT announce XMO line
5. Proto pic displayed with subpar likeness while HT boasts ultimate Jackman likeness.
6. Pre-order goes up with hefty price tag, lame description and the proto pic
7. Three months after HT announcement still not much to go on with this line while movie released at the same time Terminator Salvation is thriving with 7 figures.

The movie was cursed before it opened and continues thru today. Something ain't right.

Good thought, but Two-Face, Joker, Godfather, etc are all listed as 32 points of articulation and don't have feet. I've also realised that there shouldn't be any change in the number of articulation points due to the head/neck area, since on Joker he has no upper neck joint (where head and neck connect) but does have the lower neck joint, whereas Wolverine has no lower neck joint, but does have the upper one. So I'm still wondering where those two joints are going.

I may be wrong, but it seems that the reason for the delay in real pics, considering the time frame between previews and full pics (look how fast it was for the DX Batman), its possible that hot toys listened to the feedback about the head and cancelled their original pictures and went back to fix the head ala marcus and then solicit it with the better head and avoid resoliciting it with new pics and stuff.

I am certain that is part of their decision to hold further pics. I am confident the sculpt will be fixed and a better representation displayed down the road. No worries.

I am ok with no pics until a better sculpt is ready. While working on the sculpt, I wish more information about the XMO line would be announced. Wolverine and Watchmen news is scarce, both represented by a single figure and alot of assumptions. I am curious why so hush hush on their lines?

 

[Morbach]

I'm not ordering this thing until I see the updated sculpt if they give him one.

That's what I was thinking too, but where Dutch had the face blackened out for his preorder, I can't figure why if HT were redoing the head, why let Sideshow take orders with a photo showing the old one and not have it be blacked out like Dutch. Very strange situation, but I'm certain something is changing with the figure and is the cause of the delay.

 

[wHySoSeRiOuS203]

lol@ at the people that think it's actually gonna look exactly like that pic in hand.

Oh ye of little faith.


Remember the Rocky proto. (jus sayin)

I do and thems was harsh times

 

[The Drizzle]

I think the one other missing point of articulation is probably the one that is between stomach and chest. They did say it was a new muscle body. Hellboy is missing that joint, too.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the new hirsute muscular arms. It the arms aren't rubber, they would have to rethink the biceps cut.

I'm hoping a reveal at ComicCon but who knows with this figure.

I am hoping he shows up at Comic Con too.
