I agree, it does. I PO'd it. However, IMO it would look even better with the hair. It's just a huge part of the characters appearance. And why not add it? Especially since SSC has done a great job adding it to previous Wolvie statues.

If we are being honest with ourselves, he would probably be hairless head to toe. Do you know how hard it'd be and how much it would hurt putting on and taking off his leather/latex suit with hair?
The sculptor replied on Statueforum about it, he said that the hair require extra care into production when you paint them, if you sculpt them. If you paint them, the effect doesn't come out as good. I didn't know it was such a pain tu pull as an effect.

I need a wolverine in my collection and since Hot Toys has not given us one in 1/4 scale I may go with this. I always thought wolverine with a sword was dumb. It looks pretty good here but I'd never use it. Was initially bothered by the mouth but I'm ok with it now.

I just can't understand that thinking when they already successfully pulled it off with the LSF, COM, and PF. It's not like they haven't done it before and it looked great each time.

If there's even a small chance that it'll come out crappy, I'd rather not have it. Looks fine to me as is.
None of the other SSC Wolverine releases came out crappy. No reason this one should given SSC's previous track record.

Most people had a nervous breakdown over Batman's scruff, it looked "dirty" to some people on that other forum..
so yeah, take the good with the bad.
Again, no previous problems with arm hair on any of SSC's Wolverine releases. I think that's a more reflective track record than Bats facial hair. Look, the bottom line for me is that with the way prices are going, we should be getting more detail and effort from SSC, not less.

*sigh*
why is this so hard for you to comprehend, hair on skin of Caucasian statues in the past has received backlash for looking too "dirty" by certain **** retentive customers.
It doesn't matter if its skin on the arms or nut sack, or face.. it appears "dirty" to some, some even go as far as making racially insensitive remarks, so yeah... you can thank those idiots for ruining it for everyone else..
Sideshow listens I guess.

Statues produced years apart by different hands doesn't = consistency. The added detail would be nice but it's hardly a deal breaker.
I'm still waiting for webbing on Spider-Man to be reliable.
There is nothing to comprehend. I'm comparing apples to apples. No Wolverine statues released by SSC had arm hair that looked bad. Also, it's an important physical trait of the character. I couldn't care less if Bats has scruff or is clean shaven. I can't say the same about Wolverine.

Almost EVERY company has a bad history of mucking up the lines on Spidey's costume. That's just a simple fact. Also, I'm not willing to let SSC off the hook by leaving out details in a statue when they are bumping up the pricing at the rate they are going. It's too easy for them to take short cuts of late and charge us more for their pieces. EVERY single Wolvie piece SSC has released came with his arm hair looking great. Now, with ever increasing prices it's too difficult to get the arm hair right nowadays? I'm not buying it. And this is coming from someone who already PO'd the piece. For me personally, it is an important physical trait of the character even if they do end up leaving it off on this PF.

This doesnt work for me.
Ive been in manufacturing for just over 10 years and there are a number of reason why any single component of a project will get left out of the final approved piece. Usually its $.

I love it. It's my favorite Wolvie statue and I'd be thrilled if this new brown PF looked like that. If it looked like the XM Wolvie, then I'd say keep it as is.
