This looks like a great figure to make a custom trask.

I wonder how many X-Men films have to be ignored ( This is the 7th. And don't bother mentioning the 3 Wolverines made ) by Hot Toys for people to stop playing make believe about getting figures from this franchise?

Yea its a joke, I'm set on ordering the latest Wolverine at some point in a few months just for a representation of him in my collection, but if (big IF) a DOFP Wolverine gets announced, I'll most likely order that one, but I'm not going to hold my breath and wait it out.

Given this is my chance to get both original and new X-Men characters is one shot, I hope for at least Magneto and Professor X done in both old and new even if it is a 2 pack. I'm sure Wolverine is a lock but past that who knows.

I know even Marvel Select had a real tough time getting these rights, so maybe it's from the DOFP camp that the trouble comes. I just refuse to believe hot toys would be idiotic enough to avoid a gold mine and go all out on a disappointing spidey sequel and maleficent.

Disney owns the rights. They've been trying to bury X-Men since they took over Marvel. I 100% believe they are preventing Hot Toys from making figures with some kind of Wolverine only clause or some such BS, (that's why Xavier never released)
They own animated, comics, merchandise and videogame for X-Men but because they don't own movies they've said **** em and not done anything for the franchise outside of comics.

I'm becoming increasingly doubtful we will see anything from this movie...and if we do it'll probably only be Wolverine...again
It'd be nice....but not holding my breath

Welcome to the party......sad reality is sinking in
Totally not ok because this was a worthy x men movie
Totally agree......I lost hope for a deep dive into the film. I still hope for 1-3 figs however, the longer it goes without an announcement the less likely I believe anything is coming..... Booger...

It'd be a huge miss for them in my opinion if they made nothing
Absolutely agree.......
I don't buy any argument that someone at Marvel is actively denying toy companies the rights to make figures from these movies, or would provide hurdles toward that end. If there was money to be made, it would be. Diamond was able to get the rights to do a Mystique Select figure and a wave of Minimates, so the rights were available for companies interested in pursuing them. But Diamond only investing in one Select figure tells you something. And it wouldn't make a lot of sense for Marvel proper to try and restrict merchandising from this, yet fully embrace merchandising from Spider-Man would it? Add to this the fact that HT was able to get figures from the Wolverine, X3, and Wolverine: Origins.
The only conclusion I can draw is that this franchise isn't perceived to be a big hit in the merchandising department. X-Men First Class only had Minimate figures produced, and they eventually went on clearance. None of the HT Wolvies exactly flew off the shelves, either. Iron Men figures sell out before they come into stock just about every time.

This makes complete and utter sense. But didn't it take awhile to get the andrew garfield sculpt approved? Maybe they are having issues in that department and it is causing a delay? Though I suppose that wouldn't apply to wolverine... I'm gonna stick with your logic.
Even if there were holdups along those lines, you think they would have announced the license by now anyway. But it's possible.
