Marvel Legends | Astonishing X-Men Wolverine | 85 Years

[@emmanuelsilvera8032]

Man I thought X-Men 97 was the perfect Wolverine, but this is better than that figure by far! Can't wait to get this guy in hand.

[@encountered_culture]

It’s so good

[@Lonzology]

In terms of looks possibly but functionality not even. This figure has no boot swivel

[@MovieManiacX]

Hell yeah this is Wolverine Supreme (TM)

[@encountered_culture]

@MovieManiacX to the max

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Hascrap has outdone their crap and upped the game. Think this is the best wolverine 😂❤

[@encountered_culture]

They have. It’s a great looking wolverine

[@kyoufuwooshieteyarou7206]

Nope. No Bootcut. Colossal drawback for the buck

[@KeeperPlus]

Wolverine should come with a cigar holding hand every time

[@encountered_culture]

Absolutely agree. But damn it’ll never happen

[@antoniocdechavez4409]

Astonishing upgrade!

[@actionfigpacked_captrickjames]

The 85 year has been solid looking all around..... Awesome looking figure excited to get this Wolvie in hand. Solid review as always my brother.

[@encountered_culture]

Appreciate it! Yea this anniversary line has been one that I’m really excited about. This is a great start. I got Superior Spider-Man up next. But really looking forward to some others!

[@actionfigpacked_captrickjames]

@@encountered_culture hope to catch you Sunday at my first Whatnot show

[@encountered_culture]

@actionfigpacked_captrickjames for sure!

[@jordanlink7020]

Channel seems fun, HATE that AI wolvy from the beginning credits

[@encountered_culture]

Fair. Thank you for checking it out. I’m always thinking about ways of improving. The intro came as an idea to “soften” the opening instead of it just landing on me right away. That could certainly change in the future

[@jordanlink7020]

@@encountered_culture The idea of a pic was cool, it’s just that AI always looks janky, aside from the general issues with AI art.

[@encountered_culture]

@jordanlink7020 that’s totally fair

[@bawboski]

Damn I need this now!! Great review brotha

[@encountered_culture]

Appreciate it! It’s a good looking Wolverine

[@ryanlevack9361]

He’s to tall look how much bigger he is vs the 97. The height to me was the biggest draw over the mafex. This one looks bigger than the mafex

[@encountered_culture]

He’s a little bit bigger than the Mafex. But not by much.

[@paulwood1790]

That had a disc and ball at the neck and this would be perfect

[@encountered_culture]

Yea that would give it the range it needs

[@jesusfernandez974]

My favorite Wolverine costume, great review 💯.

[@encountered_culture]

Thank you!

[@coldfire22]

Mine just arrived. I love it. My only complaint is the mask-less head. I don't like the hair. Why the wierd part to the side? His normal hair would have made this perfect. I have the old Toy Biz version too and that head sculpt is right out of the comics.

[@encountered_culture]

That’s a fair point. I don’t mind the unmasked head so much, however I’m not displaying it either. Overall it’s a nice sculpt, but can understand the hair coming off a bit weird

[@jimwheeler9840]

You said it's a great representation of the source material. Compared to most comic panels, aren't the blue and yellow too bright? And who drew Logan's face with a nose that wide, etc?

[@encountered_culture]

To be fair I also said there’s an argument to be made that it could be darker. I think representation is the key word here. It may not be perfect but it’s the best representation of the source material we have in action figure form. But of course that’s just the opinion of one man. Could it be better? Sure. Do I like it? Absolutely.

[@MikeCollector84]

Can you head swap on this figure with other wolverines???

[@encountered_culture]

You can. The ball peg is the same size.

[@MikeCollector84]

@@encountered_culture sweet

[@KeeperPlus]

Hasbro still can't do a double ball peg for neck

[@owene2530]

Should hopefully be pretty easy to cut out a little clearance in the back of his neck to look up further. Also probably would benefit from some custom head sculpts, theres something in the comic art for that suit thats just lost in translation the way they seem to blend realism and 2d comic style

[@encountered_culture]

There really is something lost. As good as the sculpts are at this stage, i absolutely understand what you mean. As far as the mod to the neck - an easy problem to solve

[@palpatine1975]

This is should be the standard for marvel legends from now on. The best wolverine to date. Hasbro has been knocking it out of the park recently especially with recent 85th anniversary and strange tales reveals. Definite pick up.

[@kyoufuwooshieteyarou7206]

Nope not the best, too tall which isn’t a big problem for me honestly on its own, but paired with the fact that there is no bootcut, that is a failure

[@jonathanmills7329]

Biggest problem is the yellow is the wrong shade

[@encountered_culture]

They definitely could’ve went with the darker shade

[@jasonpatchen1912]

wonder if the blues match the animated series wolverine part swapping possabilities

[@encountered_culture]

The animated series blue is noticeably lighter than Astonishing Wolverine

[@jasonpatchen1912]

@@encountered_culture yes I recently compared the two

[@roberthuff4763]

This still doesn’t look as good as the love triangle/Apoc Buck. That body mold had better muscle definition and just symmetry to him

[@encountered_culture]

Love triangle is still my overall favorite Wolverine. But I do think this one does justice to its source

[@jasonpatchen1912]

i think his biceps shouldnt be bigger then his shoulders

[@encountered_culture]

True

[@SpicyPsyDuck]

Seems like he is too tall, he should be way shorter than Emma especially considering she is wearing heels.

[@encountered_culture]

Valid point. He’s roughly the same height as most Wolverine’s in the line. But he shouldn’t be as close in height to characters like Emma as he is.

[@Connordalrymple]

Does the claws come off

[@encountered_culture]

You can remove them with a little force
