ASTONISHING Marvel Legends 85 Years Wolverine Review and Head Swaps!

[@douka7590]

For doing this head swap, you are goated man. One of the most underrated ML KZbinr who gives what the people actually wanna see.

[@godgamesandgeekiness6893]

This was the Wolverine I saw everywhere as a kid, so he’s pretty nostalgic to me

[@FigureFan_Pierce]

Wonderful review as always! Looove all the work you put into the head swaps. So cool to see them all. Yesterday I repainted the smiling head and it looks perfect on this body.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Awesome! I'm really attempted to get myself an extra one and do that myself

Best Wolverine ever ❤

At the very least by Hasbro

Nah, this is still the 3rd best costume for me. Tiger stripe 1st, brown 2nd, and Astonising 3rd.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I can't argue with that ranking

"I'm the best there is at what I do and what I do isn't very nice", And while I do may not have him, I will try to get me this brand new Astonishing Wolverine figure because he looks cool especially with those head sculpts which match the art work from the Astonishing X-MEN comics Overall Fantastic review on Logan aka Wolverine Jason.

Love your videos bro. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks so much

My Personal Ranking has to be 1. Astonishing 2. Tiger Stripe 3. Brown 🙏🤑

[@brianjohnson1867]

I want to say that appreciate your channel. Your enthusiasm and your approach hello you to stand out from the over action figure reviewers. We met a few months back at Game Stop, and after a pleasant meeting, I am happy to see the growth of your channel. Keep the head swap reviews coming!!! 👌

[@DrMasterAlex]

So excited to get this guy to arrive. I think he's gonna hold up nicely with my Mafex, Revoltech, and Select X-Men stuff because of how well sculpted and painted he is Seeing the headswaps are always a highlight and make informed purchases so much easier Have you done a Storm headswap video yet? With all her varied costumes and hair styles, I think that could be an interesting one between the 97, 90's (retro), 80's(punk), 70's(2 pack), Marvel Now! and the upcoming Bloodstorm

[@LochNessHamster]

This is the first comic Wolverine figure Hasbro has put out that I've actually liked enough to want to own. It's like the answer to all my grievances with the Marvel Legends line. Unique sculpted details for this specific character, solid anatomy and body proportions, a modern articulation scheme that doesn't make the figure look like a robot, the shape of the claws. It's all genuinely good. It's not great. It's not exceptional by the standards set by other companies. But it is actually good and worth owning. That's sayings lot for Marvel Legends, and I'm really glad that I'm being able to say that more and more about there releases. It's amazing how far they've come. I was watching a review of the Superior Spider-Man from this wave where they had a side by side comparison of that with their previous figure of the character, and the difference is night and day. Marvel Legends used to be these nothings of action figures. Awful bodies, cheap basic paint, minimal detail, horrendous head sculpts where every character's eyes were nine feet apart like a Rob Liefeld drawing, shoulders situated down in their abdomens. They had a lot of points of articulation, but it really didn't matter since they didn't look good to begin with. Most of the figures they're putting out still aren't good, but their minimum level of quality is still entire orders of magnitude beyond what they were doing a decade ago, and the highlights of the line have really got me paying attention. With how much the DC Multiverse line has dropped in quality, it's weird that I'm way more interested in seeing what Hasbro announces now, because I can actually count on at least one or two of their figures being good every now and then.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Sadly, I sold my original superior Spider-Man years ago so I won't be able to do that side by side myself, but even without seeing that I already know it's going to be a complete night and day difference.

[@Actionfiguremagicshorts]

It's EPIC

[@elithenerd8956]

I love the Krakoa Wolverine suit. It’s got the design of the X-force suit with the colors of the brown costume. Also, I’m a sucker for Cowboy Logan. The two pack version is a good figure because of the splayed out left hand and grabbing right hand. Feels like it’d look great with a scale bottle and cigar.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I'm bitter because my two packs still hasn't shipped LOL I think I'm going to be the last reviewer on Earth to post a video on it haha

[@josh09garcia]

Awesome video! I just got mine a couple of days ago and has become my new favorite!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Nice! And thanks for the kind words

[@angel-zd1mk]

i ordered this figure this sunday on an ebay listing with astonishing cyclops packed in for a good deal. i’ve been WAITING for you to make a video, especially for the headswaps. I am joyful edit: 1 minute after i made this comment, the package came so.. now i have this figure! hooray!

I have way too many Marvel Legends Wolverines…and one more on preorder being this one. Great review!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you!

[@AceGoldfish]

The arms are an all new sculpt, as the gloves are an overlay and are much buffer.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

The overlays are actually why I was wondering if they were from the Lady Mandarin two pack, but like I said I don't have it and only saw pictures, so that's purely speculation on my part

[@AceGoldfish]

@@5POAFigureReviews The only reason I mentioned the the overlay gloves is because if you were to take them off the arm would look really weird, because they slot into the arm like Vulcan.

[@D_Dastardly1]

I’m personally itching to get this figure but it’s comes out in the fall in my country.

[@blackcomicnerd3657]

Favorite Wolverine costumes: 1. Brown/orange 80s costume 2. Tiger stripe costume 3. Astonishing costume 4. Uncanny X-Force costume

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, that X-Force suit is pretty sweet

[@HumanSpree]

I have the 85th anniversary Wolverine and the Logan from the new Deadpool movie, 10/10 head swap I love the yelling face with this body

[@darthkamen6564]

I know many don't consider it necessary, but the lack of boot cut when so many other Wolverine's have it kinda kill this figure for me. Shame because I genuinely love everything else about it. My favorite costume is his second Ultimate look.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

The second Ultimate costume is a really good one. And he started looking more like himself then, in terms of proportions etc. I never really liked his first Ultimate look. He looked like Edwardo from Extreme Ghostbusters lol

[@KingOfTheMonsters07]

My two favorite suits are either the House of X suit or Astonishing suit, they're a good mix of classic and modern. I do gotta admit I prefer him in the yellow and blue, the colors look more nicer together, and it's more iconic.

[@RickyRawM05]

I like everything about this wolverine same costume from MVC 3

[@JoeMama-me2yj]

Yeah,only thing that isn't the same is the masked head...but definitely didn't stop me buying it

[@Therealjoker44]

Im going to Target tomorrow after i see Deadpool and wolverine hopefully i can find him and warbird

[@jimmyoneill605]

I really want the new Deadpool and Wolverine the movie version

[@xotwod3254]

6:24 that’s a good roast

[@defadus7210]

Not really, it’s totally incorrect 😂 X-Men Origins Wolverine certainly was pretty bad, but it didn’t “kill” any franchise. The X-Men went on to have half a dozen more movies and Wolverine himself continued his own franchise with two more much more successful movies. So what franchise did the first Wolverine movie kill exactly? 🤔 And if you’re gonna say “it killed the X-Men Origins: franchise”, that’s not true either. Since they basically continued on with their plan of doing a Magneto Orgin movie anyway, they just changed the name to X-Men First Class instead. Which basically translates to “X-Men Orgins.”

[@worldj7336]

My favorite Wolverine is Tiger Stripe but the version I like of it the most is from Hulk vs Wolverine

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Man I miss those Marvel animated movies. That one was a lot of fun

[@migueltupayachi8238]

My fav costume is Brown and Tan but I want this figure for a new Avengers display. He's delayed in Canada (or at least where I live), so I won't see him until September.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Delaying one of Canada's greatest superheroes in Canada? Not that's just plain wrong lol

[@dradatzke]

Best is John Byrne’s brown suit

[@Shady0904]

May i know if you will put this astonishing clawed hands on apocalypse wave tiger stripe wolverine body, does the blue match or not so much noticeable? You skipped him in your swapping parts 🙁

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, Apocalypse wave is in box and since I have newer versions I like better I am thinking about selling him, so I didn't want to open it. But the blues match very well and it would totally work

[@ultimateslinger9857]

I’d say this, his classic look, and brown uniforms are the best for me. Also him in civilian mode too. I don’t know a single hero who looks just as cool with or without their superhero duds as much as wolverine😎

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That's actually an excellent point you make. He is one of the few heroes who can go without a costume and he's still iconic and recognizable

[@Archnid]

I recommend swapping the unmasked Astonishing Wolverine head on the Logan figure from the Sabretooth two pack

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you for reminding me that I need to get around to the Logan from that two-pack. I'll definitely be doing that along with all the other unmasked heads I have for him

[@poob1082]

[@Crim-kun]

@@5POAFigureReviews you have most of the marvel cast for mvc3 already. extremis iron man, 20yrs classic cap, x23, astonishing wolverine, 90s animated storm and magneto, classic dr strange, deadpool (hydra bob 2pk is the closest look), hawkeye from the sky cycle version, hulk (immortal has the closes look hair and color wise), classic she hulk, johnny blaze ghost rider, dr doom, taskmaster, nova, 80yrs thor, super skrull, modok and spiderman, (i cant remember if you have dormammu) all you need is the newly announced arcade sentinal (more for scale than design) you even have the final boss of the that game the haslab galactus. hope this gives you more material for playability and photography segments especially when the new iron fist and pheonix figures get released. at this pooint shuma gorath is the mvc character that may never get a figure (unless they make it a BAF)

[@PedroARCruz]

Think I prefer the look of the Bonebreaker one over this one, not a fan of this hair for Logan and also don’t like the mask the “wings?” are too small for me, and then the color scheme really don’t like this blue at all. Like those claws a lot and the other hands tho

[@bagginsfrodos]

Oh gosh, are you going to see Deadpool and Wolverine? I got lucky and saw it yesterday

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Seeing it with my Dad on Thursday and then a bunch of friends on Saturday

[@cena0224]

Tiger stripe is my favorite look for wolverine. Should I hold out and wait for hasbro and see if they make one?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I think it is inevitable that they will remake the tiger stripe with this articulation scheme, but the only question is whether they do that first or the brown and orange first. If you're willing to wait, go for it, but keep in mind it could be a year or two before it happens. And that's just speculation on my part

[@orinanime]

My favorite comics suit will probably always be his Brown suit. BUT I really love his House of X suit, because it's a really cool modernization of the brown suit. That being said.... My favorite suit overall is his Russet and Black suit from the X-Men Evolution animated series. I'm currently contemplating how to repaint a House of X figure to look like it.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, the House of X suit is to the classic brown and orange what the Astonishing is the Tiger Stripe. Evolution was a good suit as well

[@orinanime]

@@5POAFigureReviews very true. On both points

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Good lineup!

[@zeroyagami7753]

Great figure and review but man the lack of boot swivel on him is a disappointment. It's hard to get him into good looking crouching poses because his feet will never be able to face forward when his legs are bent apart. :(

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It's baffling to me because the boots are separate pieces anyway, so why is spending money on glue more efficient than just having it be a swivel?

Soon enough plz review the Batman Reborn figure by Mcfarlane Toys and show us if he's a remold of Knightfall Batman buck but also does he scale with a Superman Hush, Earth 2 or Page Punchers to be specific Man.

I preordered him. As I wait for him to arrive, though, yes he is reused from Knightfall. Specifically, the Bane two pack version without the sculpted logo and with tooling to accommodate a soft goods cape. The only new parts are the head, forearms, and belt. Not sure when he will arrive, but if you are curious about scaling in the meantime, I recommend checking out my videos on Earth 2 and Classic Supes, along with my Knightfall Batman videos to see scaling since it's the same body. Fingers crossed we won't be waiting long!
