Just a quick note…. The horn on the back of the saddle comes out to hold the flag from the deluxe version. Your standard version it acts as a plug to hide the hole…

[@DorkLair]

Oh wow nice! Great info, thanks for sharing!

[@ultimathule3691]

The neck fur part is not static. Its on a ball joint and can move. You might need to hear that up.

[@DorkLair]

Oh okay thanks for confirming that. I did heat it up and no movement. I'll need to revisit that, knowing it does move.

[@DorkLair]

Ultima Thule thanks again for confirming that neck peg. I was able to get mine unstuck. There was a big glob of glue between it and the torso that was keeping it from moving. I never would have attempted it if you hadn’t confirmed that for me. Much appreciated!

[@ultimathule3691]

@@DorkLair You're welcome bro. Happy to help!

[@MMA979]

I was just about to say the same thing

[@axel.1358]

Also, I think this figure would've benefited greatly from a big barbell double ball joint set up in the torso for arching back, hunching over, and dynamic turning poses.

[@ActionJacksonAcayan]

I would love to see it next to Battle Cat

[@stevewegling8070]

This wolf has phenomenal sculpt. The extras like the fur cover up and maintenance parts are thoughtful. Being able to have display options armored, partly, or plain wolf is cool. Yeah price is a factor but he seems like he can hold poses and will last. Great review 👍

[@CarmP]

Beautifully shot with excellent commentary. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@DorkLair]

Thank you very much!

[@gmwforce1972]

Great review! It looks like this weekend, BBTS is having a sale on the white version of this. I really wish you would have shown us what Conan looks like on top of this mount instead of only standing beside it. A missed opportunity- but great review nonetheless. 😊

[@DorkLair]

My apologies, I'll try to do better next time.

[@richardl4272]

Great review !!! I was thinking, my dog does not have a whole lot of articulation either. I just don’t think four-legged animals generally have wide ranges of movement on their legs.

[@DorkLair]

Ha! Great point!

[@T7nowhere]

I have this on Pre-order and I've been looking forward to it, but also thought about canceling it a few times due to the price on BBTS. The limited articulation is disappointing, but the sculpt and paint looks great. Depending on how I like it when I get it this might be the only one I add to my collection. I think it will look awesome mixed in with my Mythic Legions. Thanks for the review I really appreciate seeing it close up.

[@DorkLair]

I'm right there with you. I'm glad to have one, and I don't regret it, but it's not something I can "collect" if you know what I mean.

[@jrivv2239]

I had my pre-ordered from 5k toys. With shipping, it was going to be $165, but I had too many suspicions on the articulation to price point ratio. I ended giving up the deposit and cancelled the pre order, because too many other things are coming out at once, and I had to be particular about what was the worth the money. At $165, i I don't think it is worth it, and at the $200 you are going to pay on BBTS after tax, definitely not worth it either.

[@T7nowhere]

@@jrivv2239 It is expensive, but I really like the idea of a giant wolf mount on my shelf. I do agree the price seems too high, for me it will be a single purchase and a unique figure on my shelf. That's how I justify the cost.

[@Nolan.Collects]

Stll on the fence with this one, if only for the price. Glad you were one of the very first to go over this figure for others to decide. I think there's no doubt this piece looks awesome and is meant to be a premium piece, but being nearly $200 and very limited articulation makes me weary. This one's a thinker. Solid review 👌

[@DorkLair]

Thanks man!

[@gilgameshlornezhad57]

thanks for the awesome quality oand suitable background.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you for the comment and compliment!

[@Lee86THUNDER]

Way cool but way too expensive. I saw the white wolf and the first thing i wanted to imagine was princess mononoke to go with this cool figure.

[@ZOOM_FIG_CUSTOMS]

On sale at bbts rn still expensive but 42% off

[@alejandrotoledo3183]

They are on sale at big bad toy stores just ordered 3 of them for my self today a white one and grey,and the black one also

[@theextracrispycolonel9504]

Back on sale, both versions of it

[@wasabi-in-my-eye3134]

Personally if it would bring down the cost I would prefer the body to be static in pounce pose or mid walking pose …. With articulated neck and head. There’s not a lot of different pose you can achieve with a 4 legged beast that look naturally anyway.

[@DorkLair]

Yeah I’d probably be fine with something like that too.

[@MaximusMarcellus]

D20studio is also offering a basic version which I find much more appealing. These will go great with Masters of the Universe Classics. They will go right along with Battle Cat and Panthor.

[@DorkLair]

Totally fit right in! Love that.

[@axel.1358]

Thank you for this video, I've been debating weather to get this exact one or the basic black one with interchangeable head, or really just get one at all. I'd say I definitely want one, and I kinda prefer this grey one but I don't care for the armor, if I get him I'm taking the armor off and gonna look for a nice sword to put in his mouth and he'll be my "Sif, the great grey wolf" from Dark Souls. But the black one is really cool too.... But just like you said, definitely can't be buying both!

[@Drakon345]

Greay Review. Im waiting on mine from BBTS. I actually ordered the Black one with Basic Gear and an Alternate head as well this week. Ultinately, im waiting on the Coomodel Werewolves as well and when all is said and done. Im gonna have Werewolves Riding these Giant Wolves for my display. Its gonna look sooo cool. But until then. I cant wait!

[@DorkLair]

That’ll look amazing!

[@Drakon345]

@@DorkLair I know right?! D20 Also have some other figures in the works to compliment this Wolf Line. The preview i saw suggested its some sort of Raptor/Dinosaur Beasts.

[@MMA979]

I pre ordered the grey bone wolf and it’s coming soon I’m very excited to put it with my mythic legends. Also if you look at big bad toy store you can see how Poseable it is, you can make it run, sit, close to any pose. You probably need to heat yours, sounds like yours joints are really stiff.

[@DorkLair]

Enjoy! It’s a pretty epic mount!

[@MMA979]

@@DorkLair yeah I definitely will. You should look at big bad toy store to see how Poseable it is. You probably just need to heat yours.

[@DorkLair]

@@MMA979 I was able to get a little more out of it, but it’s a lot of work and there just aren’t a lot of different poses possible. Just slightly different variations on the same pose.

[@chainstarx7804]

That wolf would be perfect for a stop motion video 🤔🎥🐺

[@enderackham]

This one is on sale this weekend at BBTS. Still the size and overall is not for me for now. Just came to double check with your review and by the way let know some collectors heresince some didn't order due to the price.

[@eightbitmonk]

Looks amazing, bummer about the articulation. Slightly less money and slightly more articulation would've put this guy over the top. It's impossible not to compare it to Mythic Legions, can you imagine what Four Horsemen would give us for a $150 figure. Still a great display piece though, the sculpt and paint are near perfection.

[@Slavinatorski]

Looks really cool, not sure yet if I want to pick one up.

[@Fenrizfur]

Visually a bit to "cartoony" / "stylized" (See also the dogs included with some of Damtoys' figures)... BUT I still want one... (Probably black and the cheaper, less armored option for me...)

[@sergeirhodes6765]

Thank you for this review! I was on the fence but I was looking at a price tag of €220, with the articulation being disappointing it makes it easier to pass on. More money for Legions 🥳

[@DorkLair]

And the way the horsemen have been hinting that 2022 is gonna be a huge year, more money for legions will definitely be needed.

[@victorcastle5757]

The next wave includes some "basic" wolves, so you can have those more simplistic display options you're thinking of when you mention regretting not getting 2.

[@DorkLair]

The only problem is that those basic ones are the same price as this one was.

[@victorcastle5757]

@@DorkLair I know, right? Pricing is way out of line with this company. Product LOOKS great, tho!

[@DavidSmith-vw5eg]

I wonder if they’ll improve articulation on their future releases

[@adrionjones]

Man, that articulation and squeaky tight joints terrifies me. Good review though. I'm thinking about MAYBE getting the black simpler version.

[@thekliqtoosweet]

If these were somewhere between 80-90 I’d get one, but almost 200 hell no. I just can’t see a lot of people dropping that kind of money for just a mount. Tbh, I’ve seen just as good sculpt work on older mcfarlane mounts.

[@ZOOM_FIG_CUSTOMS]

On sale at bbts rn

[@user-ll8rk4xx2u]

It is made for orc lovers…. I have 5 of them 🤪😂😳

[@thefatman69dude]

These are awesome but man they are just to expensive and no articulation in it's torso is kind of shitty. It is so limited on what it can do pose wise. For the price point that's just a no go for me.

[@DorkLair]

That pretty much sums it up for me.

[@mr.x6313]

It's funny: I was not terribly disappointed by the limited articulation. I guess I am happy with it for what is it, even if it may not be worth the high price. It definitely looks like the company has learned from their mistakes and has made their upcoming boar figure HIGHLY articulated.

[@DorkLair]

I'm definitely looking forward to that Boar!

[@TheFaintofHearts2113]

The torso is solid plastic and it doesn't need to be. Could have saved money by making not solid, added a dumbbell joint in the torso for better articulation, made the leg joints less stiff and less of a pain to move, and then it would be possible to balance it reared up for more dynamic posing, and shipping cost would be less from weight.

[@DorkLair]

Good points, thanks for sharing.

[@user-ll8rk4xx2u]

A joint cut in the torso esthetically would have looked horrible. Personally, I’d rather sacrifice movement over having a torso line.

[@HeyItzJD]

Man, Im looking at my $40 neca kessler werewolf and Im now thinking how good of a value that is compared to something like this. And I think this is even smaller. thx for the review though.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I seriously considered getting this for my Mythic Legions display. I just couldn't get past the price though. I hope that the Horsemen make something similar in the future. I suspect that the Horsemen could make this for half of the price.

[@ZOOM_FIG_CUSTOMS]

On sale at bbts rn

[@loveurtaxes]

Awesome review!! Thanks

[@carlosarias3142]

Awesome fig but a bit too pricey for me. Great review as always!

[@yagiolaguera]

Does it work with Mezco Conan mounted on it? I was thinking of buying this just to display with the Mezco Conan.

[@DorkLair]

Yeah Mezco Conan works well on there.

[@traviswilcox3472]

Kinda cool but it basically seems like a static figure for just a rider to sit on. It looks nice but has a “stylized” look that’s not exactly realistic..not that giant wolves are real. Good review

[@DorkLair]

Good points! Thanks for checking it out!

[@pjrtw3240]

I wouldnt compare this to a Mythic Legion horse - it compares more with a Troll which like this wolf have all the articulation you need. This is a much more impressive and imposing piece than one of the ML horses and has all the movement you will need. Price is high though but it certainly is a very unique piece that I am very happy I got.

[@DorkLair]

Interesting opinion thanks for watching and commenting!

[@sammyscollectabletoyshall1626]

Cool looking figure

[@JonnyRiverside]

Heat it up. It actually moves a little More than that.

[@DorkLair]

I did. As I mentioned in another comment the other day, I actually heated it thoroughly right before the articulation segment.

[@DorkLair]

Also as I mentioned in another comment, there was some glue holding the neck in place, fortunately someone confirmed it was a ball joint and I muscled it free.

[@tearsfromtitan]

This is so much bigger than I thought. That price is keeping me away.

[@pauljohnson3442]

This looks great, but for the price it's a struggle to justify purchasing. Plus the articulation that you demonstrated makes it even harder. It looks great incredible, but at almost $200.00 I don't think so. Too bad though

[@DorkLair]

Sounds good! Thanks for watching!

[@KryptoKnight89_]

I'll stick with the neca Kessler wolf

[@michaelhanley5808]

Have you tried heating it up?

[@DorkLair]

Oh yes, I should have mentioned that. I heated it up multiple times including right before the articulation segment.

[@user-bg6jw8se4n]

There will be a boar soon. I wonder if there will be a bear?

[@DorkLair]

I hope so!

[@Apolo1428]

not even Neca came with something beautiful like that, they come with the London wolf and it is a disaster.

[@aceoswords]

Did you try to heat up the joints?

[@DorkLair]

Yes of course

[@aceoswords]

@DorkLair so the joints are just that tight. nuts. thanks man.

[@DorkLair]

@@aceoswords This was the very first one they made. I got the more recent releases and they were much smoother.

[@synthrogue6856]

Lovely piece but the price on this thing is hilariously ridiculous crossing the line into completely stupid. Where on earth they get that price from is beyond me. Seeing nothing here to justify paying that.

[@dukefett]

Wow 3 1/2 pounds!

[@DorkLair]

Yup. It's crazy, I wonder if that's why they hat to go so tight on the joints.

Way over priced for what they are! Poorly priced, no way, never buying it.
