So much blue that when you open the box this song will play.

What? That's the modern suit, not the old tiger stripe. It's a cool costume, maybe the best one as far as updating an old design goes, but I grew up with the classic Wolvie waring his undies on the outside like his hero Superman.

That was their original take. Here's what their 90's Wolverine looked like:

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah as far as classic yellow goes the stripes need to be black but I liked his modern color change.

Mafex’s modern Wolverine will have black patterns lol

 

[Chronos1919]

There's a good possibility.

I blame Marvel

You can pull up all of the blue stripe images from random artists that you want, they're still supposed to be black. Or do you seriously think that Mafex used a '95 Fleer Ultra card as their reference for the figure?

I ain't gonna knock you, if you wanna ride hasblows coattails. Marvel letdowns are littered with qc issues and if you think otherwise, you're delusional.

Did Hasbro hurt you? Alright shteven, we're going to need you to point on this doll and show us exactly where they touched you. Together we can get through this.

They're a foreign company...for all we know they used a Pepsi card as their reference.

It's okay, bud. I guess not all of us can afford import figures. You know, hasblow also makes $10-$12 marvel figures that look like shampoo bottles. You can still have a collection, that is, if your mom gives you that much in allowance.

Right, foreigners don't know what Wolverine is supposed to look like. And of course, American companies like Hasbro and Mattel always nail character likeness with their figures.

And yet, in your own words, "The stripes should be black"....

Well they apparently used some reference that you feel is wrong or there's Mafex-flair now?

Hot Toys screwed up stuff, I remember reading for Hoth Leia they used the wrong reference photos for the breathing mask and the gun is based on a Nerf version of the blaster. Blue stripes isn't that bad in comparison IMO.

It's not a reference that I "feel" is wrong. If they were going for an accurate 90's look the blue stripes are wrong. What does this have to do with Hot Toys making mistakes with their figures? The complaint was never about MAFEX being the only company to ever make a mistake. We can reference an infinite number of companies where companies got a similar thing wrong or correct. The comparison is pointless.

It's not a huge deal, I think most people would prefer if they fixed it and made the stripes black.

I brought up HT because you said

Hot Toys is a much bigger and more detailed company that Mafex and they used Wookiepedia for the mask references and Nerf gun for the gun reference.

Everyone ****s up. You literally have no idea where these guys are drawing their references from. I would bet the house they're using google a lot more than boxes of 90's comics and this is what you get.

Calm down, chief. You also literally have no idea where these guys are drawing reference from. That was a light *** at someone using Google to skip past the tons of black stripe images and find ones that match the prototype for this figure. Didn't mean to get you all riled up.

Lol you're right, I can't afford imports, I can only afford hot toys and statues... Why would anyone be on here for strictly marvel legends, this is a 1/6 forum. The only person here who is delusional, is you.

I like the blue stripes. Comic book accurate. Bring on the figure.

 

[Chronos1919]

Weird thing is they looked black in the first image that was circulating.
