I got this in yesterday and I know I said I would do a body swap, but having him in hand I feel the swap is not necessary. Other than have floppy hips (which I fixed using the super glue technique) He's perfect now. Hips are now nice & tight and holds poses perfectly. Will enjoy animating him.
Anyone else going to do a body swap?
I won't be doing a swap. It would be nice to get that extra arm articulation, but you lose one of the best features of the figure--the fabulous sculpted arms.
I also find body swaps often look bad because the outfit is not tailored for the swapped body. I am sometimes surprised by what collectors think looks good, because all I can see is phicen bodies wearing stretched out suits with obviously warped patterns and symbols--and on a fully clothed figure you don't see much benefit from the seamless body anyway.
That's just me, though. People should do whatever they want to get what they're looking for out of their collection.

Saw this is getting another production run on Timewalker Toys, I guess it was pretty popular.

My Wolverine has floppy hips also. Could you elaborate on the “super glue technique?”
Thank you!

Cut the seam around the waist. Take the pants off. Spread the legs and put a few drops of glue where the peg inserts in the lower torso. Do one side at a time. Then start moving it back & forth (Frontwards and backwards the full range of motion) You will start to feel the joint get stiff. It will take a while, Do not stop moving the joint till the glue starts to dry. It will turn a white color. You do not want to let the joint dry without moving it or it will freeze up and there will be no way to unfreeze it without breaking it. You may have to do it a few times if the joint is still loose. I did a couple of drops of glue and only had to do it once for each side. Put the pants back on and you will be good to go. I didn't even have to resew the pants back to the top. Just put the belt back on. I hope that helps you.
Wouldn?t blu tac work just as good? Rather than glue?

My current set up.
Love them both

I guess that would work. Truthfully I have never tried it, only because I use my figures for animating and I need the joints to always be tight. I know for sure the glue technique works and I only needed to do it once. For posing on a shelf, blu tac might be enough, but not for animating IMO.
Got my wolverine in. The headsculpt has a big paint error on the nose and there's a mark on the cheek where the mouth piece got chewed up while being misglued to the face...these sideshow figures are killing me...
Well got my replacement sculpt from sideshow thankfully.
Looks like this one is about to sell out so last call for wolvie.

Yeah says low stock. Ended up pulling the trigger, gotta love the classic tiger stripe look. Surprised at how “quickly” this one sold compared to magneto which sat for awhile. I would even say magneto is the better figure but I know ppl love wolvie

I’m glad to hear that, it’s good to hear about companies trying to treat their customers well!
Congrats on getting the figure I hope you enjoy it.
I really like this Wolverine figure and Magneto a lot. I’m just afraid to start collecting X-men ...potentially a very deep rabbit hole

WOW!!!!
That is a great collection!!!!
But yeah I would need to add another entire cabinet for the X-men ...hmmmm
Hahaha well regardless I am excited for all the X-men fans out there, it seems like that line is going to be getting a lot more attention.
That is definitely a great Marvel collection right there, jedijim.
