AFI has pic of Wolverine set at NYCC

I was on the toynewsi site and it had wolverine and what looked like a thor in the pictures.

Thanks Doc! Great set. I love it.

Can't wait to see Thor (and whatever is coming after that).

Nothing on these was borrowed from Famous Covers - everything was sculpted by hand, cast in resin by hand, hand painted.
The actual production versions will be thinner because Mattel isn't making them.

Oh and everything is hand stitched too. Brian Leitner did the Thor costume overnight to make it in time for the show
and I sewed everything else.

The full Thor set will be on display at Toy Fair in February.

THe heads definitely need to be mixed around; the head for the brown costume is definitely the "Mego" head of the group, and would do lot better on the yellow costume, which is much more Mego-esque. THe boots and gloves do look like they need some work, and the heads are majorly off, somehow, especially the growling one. I'm hoping there are some major changes before production; the Spidey and Cap sets both look really good, but this one is something of a misfire so far. Thor looks like he's on the right track, though.

I suspect these are somewhat handmade mock ups to show what the figure would look close to. Meaning these look hand stitched, they may have used some pieces from mego and other lines and adapted them to close to what they want. Then when they manufacture them, they might be somewhat different. The figures like Captain America are going to look closer to what they will look like since you can buy red hero boots and things like that. Characters that were never made by mego will be a lot harder to make a mock up of, without using some existing parts from various toy lines or hand molding some pieces.

If Wolverine's boots were more like Thor's, it would look better. Wolverine was one of the worst Famous Covers figures. To copy that, instead of the advertized "Mego style" is a shame. Mego never would have used those boots. Iron Man had thin boots. So did Thor. I think this set is nothing like Mego. It looks too much like a custom Mego made from Famous Covers parts. The sculpted hair looks really bad, too. I was so excited for this line, but I don't think I'll get any. Too expensive for the few parts that could be used for customs. Whoever decided to copy the Famous Covers figures should be fired! Just my opinion...

Thor and IronMan I want for sure, Wolverine is a maybe if he is improved some.

Thor is on display with Spidey, Cap and Logan at the DST booth. Looks like just the original Mego for now. Check fotos on Figures.com.

^^^Hey! Thanks for the lead! There is a Mego Thor repro figure with a label that reads: "Pending Licensor Approval". Yoo Hoo!!! I only hope we get to see all of these made...^^^

Winter 2015 would be next winter.

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!

I find this set to be very nice. Boots look a bit thick but Wolverine is a stocky dude, so they work for me.

[LonnieFisher]

It looks way too much like a Famous Covers rip-off. The giant boots and gloves suck.

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).

I hate it!!!!!
