[@mclegend2957]

In my opinion the best wolverine figure

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@Adamkilla9000]

Second best after Hugh Jackman

[@FlipFlab]

@@Adamkilla9000still beats it for me, I don’t care for these movie figures trying to focus on putting the actor on my shelf. This is the best WOLVERINE figure. If you want a hugh jackman figure though, there’s no beating the Deadpool 3 one.

[@DetectiveDC346]

Nah the new dead pool and wolverine one coming out is the best

[@FlipFlab]

@@DetectiveDC346 it’s not definitive bud, he said in his opinion. And it goes without saying. By all means like what you like, quit telling people anything you like is better than what they like. Shits childish.

[@Joseph-oo7pp]

I would like to point out, the slashing effects are meant to have the larger one in the middle, with the smaller ones on the outer two claws.

[@JustinsCollection]

They’re also designed to mix and match, I totally want a full set of both

[@InfernoDelta12]

I’m actually going to start collecting these. The cheaper price point makes it actually affordable for me. Plus it looks pretty good for something hot toys doesn’t feel is premium enough for their name to be prominently featured on the box.

[@michaeldelcastillo7211]

How do you feel about the symbiote suit? I don't mind the fabric cause you'll be able to pose it but it does look cheapish

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed this could have been Hot Toys branded imo

[@marcmancycling]

some shading on a the body and the shoulders sitting higher would make this perfect 10/10! still a wonderful and awesome release!

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed

[@Joseph-oo7pp]

This figure is great, but I hate how all of the packaging and promotional use images of the Astonishing suit instead of the Classic suit the figure is based on.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah so strange

[@ritchierotten]

Exactly!!

[@91Pulp]

I'll be buying the Jackman DP3 Wolverine figure but I'm absolutely not abandoning this one. I'm getting Magneto as well and I really hope Hono develops a full line of mutants.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah there’s room for both

[@fabianolivera3793]

Hono toys and hot toys did amazing job with wolverine 90's X-Men i loved how they bring one characters from comics book

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed

[@AndreL2004]

I have always preferred the comic book versions of characters (or at least very close) and Wolverine is one of my favorite marvel characters. I will definitely be picking this guy up. Great review!

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@tmoney360]

I like this figure. My biggest problem with these 1/6 Comic Wolverine figures is that they aren't scaled to 5'3 Wolverine. I'll give this one a chance because if the price and i got a good discount from SS.

[@tmoney360]

@@bbx2587 I had expiring SS rewards points and some gift card credit left over from Christmas. In total I only paid $62 for it including tax and shipping.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah fair

[@WolverineBatman]

@@inanimatemist8610Most of the recent Marvel Legends Wolverines, like the Xmen 97 one, scale him around 5’3 and he looks fine. If a company can’t make him short without looking goofy then that’s a skill issue.

[@ZFosterZ]

He looks really good. Solid review. I’m glad you addressed the claws though. They are way way too long. I like the look of them, but are too long. It’s a shame. The head sculp looks decent, but I wasn’t keen on it when in neutral pose. Just looks a little too big. I was almost sold on this until I saw those flaws. The colours I like a lot, it’s a nice touch with the thin yellow spandex so you don’t lose out on the sculp details.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you! Yeah some good points here!

[@PeanutButter77155]

Hey Justin, came back to this video because I just purchased this figure yesterday at a Comicon here in the Philippines. This is my VERY FIRST Hottoys figure thanks to you and your channel that pursued me to collect Hottoys 🔥

[@JustinsCollection]

Awesome! I hope you love it!

[@C4sages]

This is the best 1/6 scale Wolverine figure imo. He actually reminds me of Wolverine from the MVC fighting games. I can’t wait to get mine soon. Amazing review as always, Justin.

[@JustinsCollection]

So good!

[@alibear73]

Rogue is never shorter than wolverine in the comics. Wolverine is the shortest on the main team

[@JustinsCollection]

Noted

[@chrisgc4099]

I’ll definitely get this one, I didn’t like the trunks at first but they kinda look like the ones bodybuilders use in Mr Olympia competitions lol and now it works for me, great review Sr.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah those little jocks

[@Nintendoboy2018]

Another good wolverine figure!

[@JustinsCollection]

Great even

[@painful41]

I agree best looking wolverine figure thanks for sharing Justin i will be getting one myself ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@JustinsCollection]

So good!

[@willthebeast8002]

So far so good. I'll support in anticipation they do Villains and "non-core" characters..

[@JustinsCollection]

I hope they do expand

[@KennySparrow]

Thank you 🙏

[@JustinsCollection]

No probs!

[@shellpose]

I’ve been waiting for a good representation of comic wolverine in 1/6th scale, and I’m pulling the trigger for this guy. Great proportions and head sculpt! Terric review as always- Hope someone makes custom claws and trunks- then this figure will be perfect! Still happy with this guy

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@sierratrist9484]

Awesome review! I like how the blue pops on the new one and it's also an upgrade when it comes to the body and the huge seamless arms. Also your original Sideshow one looks ferocious with that head sculpt

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah it does!

[@IsabellaCatherine19XX]

7:38 I see what you did there ;) I've always thought the figure looked really solid since they first announced it. Seems like a great value.

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha thanks!

[@louislibitz]

Beyond excited and can’t wait for this - now bring on Magneto…SNIKT! 🤘🏼🔥👊🏼👏🏼

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes cannot wait!

[@audi1982]

Yes there is a difference to accuracy vs resemblance. It's a design philosophy that Takara Tomy constantly wrestle with when making G1 Masterpiece transformers. The designers have said they make Transformers based on how we remember them rather than how they actually appeared in the old cartoons. The cartoon depictions of the Transformers were notoriously inconsistent due to being old cartoons. We remember the characters from key moments in the cartoons, usually in the moments when they're drawn and look at the best.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah true!

[@Xman_supreme]

I just now FINALLY got my Hono Wolverine today. He's great. The metallic blue doesn't belong on the trunks, boots, or gloves...but I'm not repainting them so there's nothing to be done about that. He should definitely be shorter than Rogue. She's supposed to be around 5'8" whereas Wolverine is 5'3". He should be shorter than everyone...except MAYBE Jubilee. I noticed that the clawed hands were pretty tight trying to get them on the pegs. I got them, and I don't intend to take them off, so that's fine. I wish he was a little more flexible and sturdy in the ankles...I can't quite get him crouched down like I want...but he gets down well enough for a good display. I do wish that the pauldrons were attached to his SUIT and not his ARMS...but again, nothing to be done about that. I find that the muted colors of the Sideshow Classic Suit fit much better with the Soosoo figures. This guy is too bright and shiny (literally) to work with them. But he's really nice on his own.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah fair on all accounts

[@gingerdog8203]

I think the brand change is to make it more distinct to customers that this is the brand that sells the lower priced stuff (which is also why it doesn't have as many different pieces)

[@JustinsCollection]

Doesn’t make any sense to me, a company can make figures at different price points. They have no problem going way higher or making 1/4 scale figures under their main brand

[@BXDRAGONX1]

Thanks again for a cool review! Definitely needed those claws in metal. And swap out shorter version too. A maskless head as well would’ve been awesome!

[@JustinsCollection]

No probs!

[@dereklee7009]

I like him. Really once you pose him and the legs are bent the shorts don’t look bad. That last pose he looks really good

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed

[@SA-247]

I have the tiger strip suit one from sideshow I upgraded the body to a Phicen. It helped but does not fill in the suit or have detailed hair on the arms. So I pre-ordered the Hono and it looks amazing and far superior compared to the Sideshow.

[@JustinsCollection]

Sick!

[@marcakins3373]

Greta review, thanks for the comparison of the 3rd party and Sideshow figures …I got both the Hono and upcoming movie version , I am excited for both and can’t wait😂😂😂

[@JustinsCollection]

No probs!

That's what I'm talking about!? That's what I call a Retro Style Wolverine Figure! I always loved the Concept of Wolverine wearing Yellow Spandex with Black, Blue, & Red Colors, just Like the Classic X-Men Comics. You have a Happy 4th of July, Friend! 🧨🧨🎇 🎆 🎆

Good Preview and it gives you an idea for the Spiderman.

Reminds me of the John Byrne version of Wolverine especially the face pieces, very nice

Very cool figah. Can't wait to have it. The trunks are actually a good compromise, I am an articulation freak and I am happy to get more. We will see if the claws break or the arms start to rub off, but yet, for lower price, it is a great figah

[@JustinsCollection]

If they were fabric you’d have even more articulation though…

[@miodaswtf5665]

@@JustinsCollection no matter, it is more than I ever imagined. Awesome figure. I have the sideshow brown one and it is a gloriously crafted piece and he's gonna have competition, we will see the deadpool wolverine hot toys one.

Sweet, I love the shiny blue

[@GifMaker-n8r]

1:55 I agree, Hot Toys is always talking about being accurate to source material yet decided to so weird ass design choices for their comic figures like the clear plastic or chrome eyes Spider-Man. They literally have actual comic suits they could do but decided to do weird stylized versions

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah very strange

[@SinisterCook-dz6yd]

I love X. men action figures

[@Jikkozilla]

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@Linda-hf7vr]

I've been wanting to see a comparison with the Sideshow Wolvie. One thing is for sure this head sculpt beat the Sideshow one, especially those mouth plates. I do wish that they hadn't used that metallic blue on the accents. What was wrong with just royal blue? It is too bad that they couldn't spring for some fabric trunks. I've got the Astonishing version of the Sideshow Wolvies and hated the provided head sculpt, this one is 100% better. My favorite Wolverine art is the earliest I ever saw him when John Byrne was the Xmen artist back in the 80's.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah for sure! I agree on the metallics, I like them but they’re not a must for me

[@dennisdevito2829]

I do like the blue metallic on this , I think I prefer the Hono to the Hot Toys

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh!

[@SA-247]

I hope Hono or any other 3rd party studio releases a 1\6th X-Men 97 Night Crawler, Colossus, Juggernaut, and Storm. It's well over due that someone takes a crack at them.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@lynnpachano9847]

Great job Hono! Nice review Justin

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@telephantasm4070]

I don't know if you ever got your hands on the 2018 Marvel Legends 12" Wolverine, but that to me is the best Wolverine figure. I recognize this does look premium, the sculpt on the arms is beautiful, they basically "honored" the comic book likeness. And that's where my big issue with it starts. They went full comic book on the suit and it just looks ridiculous to me. It makes me laugh and at the same time it pisses me off.

[@JustinsCollection]

I didn’t unfortunately

[@DaHammerOfGod]

Great review Justin as always. Can't wait to get this guy in hand! Wonder if the S.King Wolvernie headsculpt would work on this figure even though the colors won't match unless painted.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you! Not sure it would work unfortunately

[@shinji181]

this colour is more representative to cartoon character. cloth suit is a great success for the figure

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@Maxdave327]

Awesome! I didn't expect you'd do a review on this one! I think the classic Iron Man ones just look so bad with the clear plastic so sales didn't do as well.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh really? I haven’t missed one yet

[@muns3808]

While the clear plastic was unnecessary and a bad decision, I still think the classic iron man figures looked great

[@Gatchaman01]

Very well done for this Wolverine version although why just two pair of hands? Really need it fist without the claws and some others like grabbing specially a cigar since he’s always smoking them in the comics that was a let down.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah some additional accessories would have been nice

[@Church_of_Sagan]

Probably because Disney said he can still chop people into little bloody cubes, but smoking cigars is bad 🤣.

[@trendstetter5251]

Awesome figure! Cost way more at pop collectibles than on side show though! Bout $100 more

[@JustinsCollection]

Yep because they’re an official distributor and will take a few more months to get it

[@alanjg1]

I would love to see a 3rd party mouthplate with cigar. It could be packaged with a set of fabric trunks 😊

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@frederickowens2883]

Greetings. When you swapped out the Sideshow brown suit body how did you attach the hands, head, boots, feet and gauntlets? Was everything able to pop and swap or did you have to make modifications?

I thought I was the only Wolverine fan who had that touch of OCD with the claws being believably short enough to fit in the forearms lol

Nah they should be

[@chrisgould6069]

Actually Justin in the comics and cartoon Wolverine is 5'-3", Rogue is 5'-8", Cyclops is 6'-3", Gambit being 6'-2" and finally Magneto is 6'-2" just to give a few height differences of some of the characters that have been presented in 1/6 scale, as for Rogue's height I'm pretty sure they make height extensions for 1/6 scale female figures it really depends on how much height differences bother you?

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah doesn’t bother me too much thanks for the info!

[@chrisgould6069]

@@JustinsCollection Justin did you see the variant version of Wolverine by Hano/Hot Toys they are coming out with, it's my favorite suit the brown and yellow suit, comes with the red Muramasa sword, gripping hands for the sword, 4 face plates and will be limited to 1,500 worldwide, it looks great.

[@thrasher2753]

Was gonna get this but man the deadpool movie one got my cash instead. This is still a pretty great figure though!

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair

[@TheMoulie]

Let's be honest about his claws. If they were to lock into place across the full depth of the back of his hand (for maximum stiffness in combat) then the protruding section would barely be longer than his extended fingers IRL. (Yes, I've overthought this a LOT over the years 🤣) So ignoring the claw to forearm ratio has always been on the cards for me.

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha fair enough

[@Superheroine-Hunter9549]

Great video do you plan to get the wolverine figure from the deadpool and wolverine movie

[@JustinsCollection]

Of course!

[@Kaznil46]

The claw part in annoying because the prototype pictures that are still on sideshow, shows the claws were removable. It shows the fist with and without claws and shows the open hand with the claws... Also, as some have pointed out, the slash pieces are supposed to be one large in the center and 2 small on the ends.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah not sure why they canceled that! I know you're supposed to do that with the effects but a full set of each is still needed

[@brianng8350]

For me, there should be a little more face covering. The face seems a bit too exposed than my idea of Wolverine. But otherwise, it is a perfect Wolverine sculpt. Overall, I like the Sideshow one for body sculpt. But the head is terrible; Hono one is much better. But I still think Wolverine should be shorter and thicker. Rogue is supposed to be 5’8” to Wolverine’s 5’3” height.

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair on all accounts
