AFi First Look: Marvel Cloth Retro Wolverine Action Figure Limited Edition Box Set

[jwyblejr]

Look like Entertainment Earth has them up also, but for some reason the Wolverine set is $10 more ($79.99) than Spider-Man or Captain America sets ($69.99).

Cotswold Collectibles has all 3 listed for $69.99 each.

Pre-ordered from BBTS. I'm looking forward to this one, it's the first of these I've pulled the trigger on.

The two unmasked heads have different hairstyles. The removable-mask head shows his side-points flattened a little bit like they were recently under the mask, while the Logan head's hair has been fully unleashed. It's a subtle difference, but a necessary one to get the look of both heads right.

Famous Covers Wolverine had full hair points, which required the mask to be bigger, and it was probably also made bulkier to withstand a child's frequent unmaskings. I have not seen a non-resin example, but I'm fairly certain EMCE's mask will be much more successful.

this set is much better than famous covers wolverine but I thought orange and brown was sabbretooth's colors ?

[powersthatbe]

the correct color for byrne's wolverine is brown and tan natch.i only remember it being orange is on the x men evolution's cartoon.

[Gorn Captain]

Orange and brown is the Wolverine that I first got to know. And in a way, that's the only color scheme I can see him in.

I remember him with brown and oriange from his old series. I want to see the final product on this one before I order.

I sincerely hope you are right, I have the set on pre-order, but would still prefer a painted yellow mask head like the brown one instead of a removable mask. Much as I get the charm of the RM Batman and Robin, I always prefered the look of the painted masked ones.

[wise guy]

I also prefer the look of the painted brown head and will get this set because of it. removable masks are nice but remind me of the capt action merchandise at Toys r us
I hope when they get to ironman they give us 2 painted ironman heads(with no noses on mask) and 1 tony stark

The wolverive is limited? To how many? How many produced?

[powersthatbe]

3000 and that's every character including spidery and cap

Forget my original post. AA updated their shipping blog to have this listed as a summer release, so this must be a Toy Fair picture.

Looks good though!

Plus they listened and included several sets of claws.

Seriously considering this one. If it were just the brown costume, I'd be all over it.
