    If this line was meant to be about Marvel Retro-Action figures, I would have preferred Thor and Iron Man BEFORE Wolverine. Now I can only hope I will see the Thor and Iron Man sets some day... I'll buy one Wolverine set just to support the line...

        I don't think Mego would of done the fat boots. Thor's boots were probably the most detailed and the rubber was much thinner than the way these look. These do look like famous covers boots, their oversized boots and hands and undersized heads was what made me dislike them.

          They're not exactly the same but pretty similar.

          I'd rather they be the milk bottle plastic or like Mego Thor's boots, but that's just my opinion.

            I just noticed the card in front of Wolverine set says Winter 2015. That's March at latest!

            Dec. 2014- Spidey
            Jan. 2015- Captain America
            Feb. or March 2015- Wolverine

            Is DST releasing more than 4 sets a year? I'd at least like a set every other month 6 a year!

            C'mon with a FEMALE already!

                Sadly, I gotta say I'm disappointed. My favorite is the brown & tan Costume...I'll still probably by the set just for him. I'll either sell the other two, or use them for "custom fodder" and find BETTER head sculpts. Damn shame it didn't turn out better.

                    I'm sure we'll see better versions later I think this was rushed to meet the show,doc said"the paint was still wet"I do hope we get brown/tan and not orange as that's the wrong color and I would've been happy with just one head of logan(the two are too similar)I'm iffy on the removable mask

                        I like the heads, how they match up in and out of mask, same with Cap.

                          Since they're just prototypes, and mighty cool looking at that, I'm sure stuff like the thick boots and outfits will be tweaked by the time they go into full production. Regardless, I'm buying a set the day they're available
                          "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                            After seeing the Cap set, these are more than a little disappointing.

                            I think companies showing early prototypes like this do themselves more harm than good. And I do hope these are early early protos. Because right now, I would not be buying these.

                                It's interesting that they're on to their third prototype set and no one has seen one production piece from this Cadillac line yet. As much talk as there is about production samples being a part of the assessment process, I would sure like someone connected to this series to start showing what these heads (and figures) will actually look like in production (at least the Spider-man set).
