    I would rather have them stop making figures, than make anything even close to the Famous Covers rip-off figure again. If this is the style and look they find acceptable, them they deserve to fail. I haven't been complaining about the flaws in the figures, but now I have to start. Everything about the yellow/blue Wolverine figure sucks, except the bodysuit! The face, hair, helmet(mask?), gloves, claws, boots, lack of hands, box window placement, and price!!
    I really expect better quality and craftsmanship for the price of these sets. With a few changes, this set could have been the best one so far, instead of the worst.

      We all would. I'm a die-hard Marvel guy, as most everyone here knows. I want nothing but for this figure line to succeed and continue, but so far, they're just not wowing me.
      Both my Spider-Man costumes were full of snags and pulls right out of the box. Then there's stuff like the poorly attached stars on the Captain America suits, and now this stubby armed Wolverine because somebody decided to save a dime?
      I'm sorry, but so far these sets are just not the quality they need to be for the price they're asking. I work hard for my money, and I expect better. These types of issues need to be addressed and corrected.

        Nobody likes Marvel or Mego more than me. But I'd rather see them not made, than made as junk. I could make better customs, but want licensed, factory produced figures. I desperately want this line to succeed, but it won't if figures like this fugly yellow and blue Wolverine are made. I want something I can show my friends so they can see how cool the figures are. This figure is just wrong on so many levels.

          The yellow Wolverine ^^^ i agree. could have been done better with just some little changes ,I think megos interpretaion would have been an all
          sculpted yellow masked wolverine with hands under his gloves ,The removible mask in this set should have been an accessory,and
          only one Logan head needed (like Spidey & Cap ) so you can have the option to have a removible mask on the most popular version of
          the charactor.

              As far as making more sets, DST only cares about sales. If they sell, they will make more, complaints be darned!

                I noticed the box doesn't have the white border around the window.

                  I thought this was the final product in this video. The Wolverine box is different than Paul's.



                  The video review by DST of this set was a little deceptive in the fact that it neglected to show the lack of hands under the gloves.

I didn't even discover Wolverine til the late 80s, but if anything like had been released when I was a kid, i would have had it, not even knowng who Wolverine was! this set it so neat, IMO

                      I am passing on this set and if the sets continueto rot on the shelves at comic book shops and online retailers because of QC and just straight up poor design, this line just might see any earlydeath.Sales are not good if product sits and doesn't sell well at the retail level no matter what DST says that sales are good.Stuff doesn'tsell,vendors stop ordering = game over

                      take note that the Wolverine set has beenreleased and they have yet tosolicit THOR for pre-order...I find that a bit odd.

                        I am buying these sets mainly for the boxed Mego replicas to leave in the package for display. Since I do not open my figures issues like the replica figure heads being half hidden in the window box and now this short armed Wolverine with no hands has made me stop buying them. I have dreamed of having replica Marvel Megos with additions of new characters for years and now they finally come out with all these QC issues. Sorry but all the complaints are legit. I want this line to continue. I love EMCE and DST and have many of their figures but the issues with these sets need to be fixed especially for a collector like me that is not going to open my figures to tweak them and correct them. I just want nice sets with replica figures that I can see through the window boxes for display for $80.00.

                          I'm just buying it for the brown costume...and hoping I can recoup some of the hefty $80 price tag by selling the rest of the set on eBay. But I don't if they'll sell at all.

                            So the "Mego" style Wolverine in the box comes with gloves that will not work unless you buy the hands separately?

                              I agree 100%, the brown Wolverine setup is the nicest of the three outfits from everything I have seen. Hope to nab a set locally.

                                It's bad these are not sold at Toys R Us or Target because they could'nt sell these for more than about $40.00 (like Capt. Action) and they would have to mark them down to
                                $ 20.00, because only a few people would buy them. What's really sad is we all wan't Marvel remegos and your forced to buy these or else. Diamond knew about Caps star
                                and told us that their not going to fix it . So as long as we need are Marvel remegos than you get what you get. I hope they don't do any females because I could only imagine how bad they will look. My favorite local comic shop did'nt order Wolverine and he still has the other sets collecting dust. I have no faith in any future products from these guys but I hope they prove me wrong.
