    Its definitely the worst set in this line so far (Spiderman & Captain America sets are way superior)... I think its also a departure from the Retro Action whole purpose as Wolverine was never made by Mego...

    That said, I'll be getting one Wolverine set anyhow... I will tweak/customize the Wolverine set to look the way I think it should and that promises some fun... Need to support the line at least until Thor and Iron Man are made... Its my dough and I spend it the way I want.

    I don't think anything was taken from FC, but the boots, gloves, and claws all look FC "inspired", not Mego.
    The "grimace" face head looks like a Conan head with hair added. Not a good look. So unnatural looking. More constipated than anything else. Robot Chicken will have fun with that. Logan looks pretty good. The brown/orange figures looks good except for the boots and the open hand with claws. The angle of the claws on the open hand looks funny. The yellow/blue costume looks good except for the boots and gloves. Not sure about his cowl... Gloves like the brown figure and the sculpted cowl head and different boots and it would be cool. As it is, bummer.

    Buy my custom heads 'no matter what!'. I used to think that "these are prototypes, so I will reserve judgement for when they are finished." Then the FTC "Alfred" came out all wrong. Boy, did I feel like the fool. Oh sure I could have said something, but I never did. Have all the faith you want. Buy whatever you want. Just don't try to sell me any false hope, through 'blind faith'.

Besides, I will get this no matter what! I figure I can do some customizing work on these to better match my personal tastes if needed. One thing for sure, Wolvie looks skinny! I thing I will put the costumes on some of Doc's swivel arm bodies and use the Mego style body for the civilian figure., but that is my personal preference!

    I recommend dumping the grimace face with removable mask, and double up on the sculpted mask/head with color variation.
    I agree as well. The removeable mask doesn't seem to fit with Wolverine and that sculpt isn't too hot. The brown figure looks amazing.

    One great thing about these heads, and FTC's over-scaled ones for that matter, is that talented hobbyists may remedy them according to their tastes--just as with vintage Mego.

    I agree. I would rather have the head that is on the brown suit Wolverine on it and on the yellow suit version, only on the yellow suited one it could be painted to have the whiskers. No idea if any changes like that could even be made or approved at this point, but that is what I would rather have.

    No offence meant, but for me personally...I HATE the 1st appearance Wolvey mask. He only wore it ONE time in the Hulk comic, it hardly warrants a Head sculpt. Go with the John Byrne style instead.

    It appears the claws are separate in the package. I hope there are enough to display all 3 with claws if we get additional bodies.

    I think the set looks okay and gives customizers a lot to work with, but I could do without having two unmasked heads in the set. I'd much prefer a sculpted head to go with the yellow costume, especially if it was his first appearance mask.

    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 agree. It looks like a black adam re-use to me...

    I was thinking the exact same thing. And, that is what I will do with my set.

    As excited as I am for the Thor set, I am even more excited for the Iron Man set

    You know what would have worked great and kept with the Mego look. Take the Mego Klingon boots and cut a "V" in the front of them. That's what I'd do for a custom Wolverine.
