I have a feeling that will be the Wolverine Dan's been hinting at as his favorite Wolvie of the year. They've been giving us the costumes from the last couple of episodes of X-Men 97 like Rogue and Charles so it would make sense. Also would explain why they didn't include a regular Wolverine head with weapon of vengeance

@@RoboDontKnow No. I hate those "movie claws" popping out between his fingers... and yes, I'm aware it's "comic books" (I am an artist and used to collect the comics before they went woke and straight to $#!t...) I get it, but there's NO WAY IN HELL those claws would work without slicing his entire hand into 4 slabs of dangling meatsicle EVERY SINGLE TIME he popped his claws, healing factor or not, his bloody finger/hands would be dangling and flopping all over the place...!!! 🙄🙄🙄 Seriously, look at your hand, and pay attention to the depth of where those claws would emerge, slicing the bone, tendons, and muscle into ribbons every damn time... anatomically those claws make NO SENSE... and are only slightly LESS OFFENSIVE than the incredibly $#!tty "Clayton claws" of the X-Force Wolverine, and those stupid "heat claws", WTF?!! 🤨🙄😑 Don't get me wrong... I love the X-Men, and they ARE my favorites of the ENTIRETY of Marvel Legends figures, but I don't give a $#!t about the Cassady/Quitely X-Men series' on ANY level, so those, along with the ENTIRETY of the woke Krakoa era, will ALWAYS be an easy pass for me... I neither want nor need them in my X-Men collection. That said, if you like them, that's fine, and I am happy that you're getting the figures that you want whether you happen to be Robo, or anyone else... I'm not here to change anyone's mind about them, just offering my perspective as to why I don't want them in my particular collection. I did use the Kitty Pryde body as my Wolfsbane stand-in for the extra parts that came with Dani Moonstar, and the Kitty head for my Ogun/Kitty custom unmasked head... (How about an Ogun already, Hasbro?!!)🙄 Nicely done on the custom tweaks to make the Wolverine more to your liking,Robo! Looks good. Still love that Bonecrusher custom Reaver you did though! Awesome work.

I saw one person complaining that the cowl should be yellow and blue instead of yellow and black, but the black just looks more accurate to wolverine in general. Plus, most of the comic looks have the cowl very shaded, so the blue is so dark that it looks black. Most people don’t even notice that, and I didn’t either until it was pointed out. The only improvement I would have liked to see was a boot cut.
