Flint:
I'll be buying a few of those Deadpools for sure! So awesome.
Kluster Bombs:
I noticed the packaging says "comic series". I wonder if we will get movie version also.
Flint:
Perhaps but in all honesty I only want the comic version. But i'm so flippin excited right now!
Alyosha:
I'd bet on it! I'm glad to see they are doing both comic style and movie style figures, and that they will go well with the Fury Files guys. This is the best news EVAR!

Same here.... I don't care if they do movie version cause these are good enough.
Flint:
All I know is Snake Eyes is going to take a beating when Deadpool comes home.
Alyosha:
I went ahead and copied the pics and hosted them myself so we would have them for the thread. Did a quick crop and resize as well. All credit goes to the RunRunHero forum!















rattrap007:
I may pick up a Deadpool and gambit.. some look pretty good, others look kinda bad..
AdrienVeidt:
I'll have to pass on Brown Wolvie as I don't need him (and that's a really muddy paintjob, too) and Gambit because he sucks monkey taint; but the others I'll get at least one of. Sabertooth will definately need a new head, or complete repurposing as someone new. Deadpool will need the harness cut off the belt as I don't like it. Maverick is decent enough as is. But Spy Wolvie will get bought several times as that's a great MFing fig for customs.

Is is just me or does Weapon X Wolvie look like he's only got 2 claws on each hand?
DESTRO:
These all look great except for the OPEN HANDS on all of the Wolverine toys!
Alyosha:
Ah, your just being persnickety. Most of them have the left hand closed, so there's 50% of your wishes made true!

Seriously, TOYGASM!

And as for you AV, your just being grouchy like the old man you are, now go take your metamucil and enjoy the paintwipes!

You know what I want for X-Mas Custom Right Hand Closed Fist for these figures. Don't get me wrong all of these and the Fury Files are going into my collection x 2.
MegaPrime33:
Ahhh comic series. I was gonna say, are we seeing Jackman in the wolverine get-up? Prolly not.

Figures look pretty good, especially deadpool.
TheLoudMaster:
I'm crying tears of joy because of this Deadpool action figure.

As soon as I can get one in hand to see the scale and whatnot, consider it done. Your set is a lock.
DESTRO:
How do you guys feel about the molded cape's on the figures? The one on Gambit looks fine but the SaberTooth one even tho it looks removable hampers the arm when it's on.
Alyosha:
Honestly, they don't really bother me at all. The majority of the efforts to use soft-goods to make capes and cloaks has been so lackluster that a little loss of posability is okay given that the offending part can be removed.
darthdoug:
I'm in the air on these. I was super-excited when I came across this. I love some of them. Deadpool is one. I almost popped a boner when I saw a GAMBIT but had to refrain as I'm really not sure what is going on with his head. Many of the figures hands are odd but the articulations points seem good. I'm just thinking the details could be a little better.

Specifically:
Gambit's hands & head
Sabertooth's face
Maverick's everything

I'll see what these look like when they hit the stores.

Paint wipes/washes are a good tool and look great at times; but they shouldn't be considered mandatory for every situation. I've never seen the brown suit look like that, even after a fight. It might just be an individual fig that happened to get an extra-heavy dose of the blackwash; but it just doesn't make that fig look good. But like I say, it's a moot point for me in particular.

What am I missing about Maverick that makes him look bad? After Deadpool and black ops Wolvie, he's best best fig in the bunch, imho.
darthdoug:
Maverick: For me it's not so much the color scheme its the head. It seems very 70's Sci-Fi to me.
darthdoug:
And I just noticed they all appear to have diaper-crotch. I hope they have good poseability.

That's what he looks like in the comics though.



Not the exact costume version. But the same mask.
Beast:
Actually.... here's the one they seem to be going with.

At least judging by leg design, shoulder strap, and ammo bandolier.

Moot point. All of them have actual ball joints in the hips like the 6 inch ML figures so there should be no posability problems at that joint.

AV- I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it's most likely just this particular sample that is a bit heavy.

Looks like I'll be adding some paint apps to Maverick on the forearm gauntlets and gear to make it ape that Jim Lee card a lot closer. Regardless, it's full of WIN.

I dunno about that. I find that bringing the pelvis down so far over the hip makes it impossible for the fig to actually sit down, pretty much eliminating the entire point of having a hip joint at all. Obviously, I solve this with my trusty x-acto; but it'd sure be nice for toy sculptors to realize that trying to split the difference between 'playable action figure' and 'pretty statue' means you fail at both. Bringing the lip of a socket down farther over a joint doesn't magically make that joint invisible, it just means you can't play with the toy as well.

Honestly, I prefer molded so long as it's done right. Generally the cloth capes kind of look bad to me. Gambit looks good, but the Sabertooth one looks really restricting. Actually, Sabertooth in general looks terrible. I will probably get the brown Wolvie, as well as Deadpool.

Blasphamy! But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

The other thing that's good about this line is that it is basically a bonus addition to the main line, specifically because they are comic versions rather then the Movie versions.
AdrienVeidt:
So, are we not getting movie figs at all? Hasbro's just using the existence of the movie to put out a Wolvie comics line and skipping the movie's designs entirely?

It's just a shame it's not in the 6 inch line. Maybe they'll get to him one day. I'll still pick this one up gladly though.
rattrap007:
one problem I have with Deadpool is the sci is massive compared to the figure... WAAAAAY to big..

Nice!

In response to your posts Beast:

I have this version of him. Maybe its the color scheme that he looks a little less dorky.

I like him better in this version as Agent Zero where he is more in Snake Eyes or Shockwave type uniform.

I suppose you haven't seen Marvel Selects take on this film property then. FAR Superior to these childerns toys. I'm a collector plain and simple, and a selective collector at that, not a child or impluse buyer. You can't just slap Marvel and their respective characters on a plasctic turd and expect me to buy it because of the name. Marvel Studios know who their bread and butter is. I will pay $20 or better for true artwork deserving of Wolverine before I stoop and buy this crap (no offense to anyone who really wants these toys). Point in case, I waited on Spiderman, FF, and Hulk to be released in Marvel Legends before paying for that God awful 5 ich scale. I just thank God Ironman was already in "my" scale. So for you to tell me not to except much, I say, Except only the best! Accept no substitutions! NUFF SAID!
Shin Densetsu:
I've always wanted a joe scale Wolverine comic line and after all these years, it is happening! I am excited. All of these figures look great, for all the people tired of Wolverine, at least these releases won't interfere at all with Marvel Universe or take up spaces that other characters could have used. I am buying all of these, and finally, we get a new Deadpool figure! Out of all of these, I look forward to Weapon X the most. The vintage figure was one of my favorites and it doesn't look like this one will disappoint!
Quote:

Come to think of it, considering that this is a comic line, I think it would be great if all of these figures came with swappable hands. Characters like Spiderman would definitely benefit from it.
Quote:

I don't like how Saberetooth's cape is sculpted to block articulation on his left arm, especially considering that I think that figure is based on his appearance in the Wolverine book where he wished Wolverine a happy birthday and proceeded to beat the crap out of him with planks of wood. He can't raise his left arm with that cape on, he looks better with it on than off, but that compromise is there and I wish it wasn't. Speaking of Sabretooth I want to see the v1 and v2 comic versions. Those costumes are awesome but never got the figures they deserved.
AutobotAssassin:
I think the v.2 sabertooth from toybiz was deadon. But then again, I think I'm the only one who loves Marvel Legends anymore. what a shame too.

I love how you automatically start tossing around insults. Insinuating that anyone who likes the scale or the figures is a "Child" or "Impulse Buyer". That's just charming beyond words. I also like how you later say "No offense to anyone who really wants these toys", knowing how you already offended people by insinuating that they only want these so-called "plastic turd" figures cause they're children or because they're available.

The Marvel Select figures are craptastic for how much you pay for them. I much prefer what I've been getting from Hasbro. They've produced some great figures. And now Select is lamely just cranking out stuff Hasbro has already done, like the upcoming Marvel Girls. Not to mention you're only getting figure every few months. And that's not coming from a child or an impulse buyer. But someone who's making an informed choice to buy what they like.
Flint:
Ok guys, let's not start fighting and let's keep things civil in here. People can choose to buy what they like, but let's not insult people. Let;s keep this on topic.

Sounds goood to me and I appericate your calm before the storm attitude. From now on I'll just ignore sly remarks towards me because all I'm trying to do is voice an opinoin that hopefully someone at Hasbro will see. Kudos to you. BTW if I was to buy one of these it would prolly be weapon X b/c I have been dissappointed by recent incarnations of this figure. Will have to wait and see. I would love to see a NECA interpretation of Weapon X. How twisted and sick would that be?
Flint:
A NECA Weapon X would be Sick. I personally want more Deadpool stuff, so Hasbro, Marvel Select, whoever... GIVE ME MORE!

To me it's all about the new switch to 3 3/4 size class. Are these figure perfect for the first rounds, not at all, however Hasbro does listen to its fan base. Take G.I. Joe for the best example, at the start people gave ideas on how to improve the design, character versions and what the collector wanted overall out of the line. For the most part Hasbro has done nothing but improve over time with the G.I. Joe line. I would expect the same if not more from the Marvel Team. Nobody wants to put out figures that are not on-point.

The 6" line can be discussed in other dedicated thread. Turning this thread into a 3-3/4" vs 6" slugfest deviates from the topic off hand.

Looks like I'll be getting me a Deadpool now!
Shin Densetsu:
Versions of Wolverine left to make that Wolverine fans like me would want:

-Death
-Astonishing X-Men
-Astonishing X-Men/current costume w/added panels(3 per forearm/ankle, showed up this way in Civil War 2006
-1st appearance(come on I'm not the only guy who likes this costume!)
-Ultimate X-Men(1st costume designed by Art Adams, black/orange)
-Ultimate X-Men(black or blue/yellow)
-Patch
-Feral(mid 90's.......either Onslaught storyline or the look from issue #102 by Adam Kubert)
-Dave Cockrum bat ears version(his initial design for Wolverine's mask during the 70's when Wolverine first joined the X-Men)
-Spy(flashback sequences w/Maverick & Sabretooth...similar to the Spy version in wave 1 but with black and gold)
-Old Man Logan
-Logan in samurai uniform/mask posessed by Muramasa(early Larry Hama issues)
-generic blue/yellow costume(not tiger stripe but the costume that Banshee, Forge, and other members had, this costume was short lived, Toybiz made one in their original X-Men line as Wolverine III, and recently Hasbro made one for their ML 2 packs w/Forge).
AdrienVeidt:
Ha, bet you'd want the 'all-straps & bodyhair' costume he wore in the Asgardian Wars story.

I would love these three for sure. Especially Patch, I loved those issues of the Wolverine series, it from when first got really heavy into comics.

The Cocrum version always looked awesome. And the x-men uniform was from a great run in the comics, so that would be good. I liked when they were wearing those uniforms, it gave them a real team look. It would also open up the idea of making the original x-men team figures.

DEAR GOD; DO NOT WANT AT ALL!

I never even knew he wore such an atrocity! Now Rachel...yeah her..yeshh....
I forgot to add to my list..

-Weapon X(Age of Apocalypse) w/swappable stump hand, and claws eminating from stump
-Ultimate Logan(Gulf War gear and guns from that flashback where he saved Nick Fury)
-Movie Wolverine from X2
-F4 Wolverine
AlphaPrime:
Sad they saved Maverick and modern Deadpool for 3 3'4 scale instead of Legends(same for MU wave 1 Extremis) Hasbro = SoBs.

Good thing only 3 3'4 i planned to buy were Extremis and either a brown and yellow or tiger stripe Wolvy hehe, looks like MU1 takes care of my IM need(you know, unless they redo Modular into the scale) and WO will take care of my need for TS Wolverine going by the back of that card.
scarecrow:
I NEED Deadpool! It's practically impossible to get the Legends figure for anything under $50 and even if I did, could I fit it in my pocket?!? This is the best news ever, as that Deadpool looks fantastic!
pud333:
So since we're getting a Gambit here, I'm guessing he won't be in the other Marvel Universe line? Or do you think Hasbro would actually double up on figures for each line?

edit: Or is the Origin and Marvel Universe line going to be one and the same?
Alyosha:
Both lines feature similar articulation (Fury Files is almost identical to the current Joes) and are 3 3/4, so they are complementary but not quite the same.
Shin Densetsu:
Quote:

Doubt it.
Quote:
edit: Or is the Origin and Marvel Universe line going to be one and the same?
No but I think they complement each other. For example, Toybiz and Hasbro always make a lot of figures for Wolverine, Iron Man, Spiderman and any other popular character, but with the Wolverin Origins comic subline, they can get away with making a ton of different Wolverines without taking up space in the Marvel Universe line.

Which is certainly welcome. While we all know that we'll see more Wolverines in the Marvel Universe eventually, probably at least one next year, at least they're delivering all the most wanted styles in one subline so that they don't have to take slots up with Wolverine to get them out there.

Well, obviously they're doing just that thing since there's a Wolvie in both lines. It boils down to the character and his popularity. For some strange reason, Gambit does have his fans; but I'm not sure there are enough of them for him to get multiple single-carded figs essentially at once. Additionally, what other costume variations could they use as an excuse to offer him twice?

However, this wouldn't preclude him from showing up in a comic pack, with maybe some battle damage or diff accessories or something along those lines.

Overall tho, I'd think the relationship between MU and W:O (and whatever movie lines may come down the pipe) is the same relationship as between ML and the various 6" movie lines.
bigkid24:
Hmm...only thing to deter me from getting these would be an insane price point. Overall they look pretty damn sweet but definitely the deadpool is the winner of the bunch...probably because they didn't actually have to sculpt a face.

True enough. I was just thinking if I'm gonna buy only one Gambit (and I will only get one since I'm not a fan and only want him cause he's on the X-men team), I didn't want to end up buying him in the origins line and have another better one crop up in the MU line.

It looks like Wolverine in the origins line is a different mold than the MU line, which is cool. At first I thought it was a straight repaint, but it looks different. The one in the MU line was a little tall compared to the GI Joes. I wonder if the origins one has been modified to be shorter and more in scale...
Shin Densetsu:

I think it is a much closer relationship actually. For the Iron Man line, sure you have comic inspired repaints, and some new pieces like War Machine's cannons, but ultimately you have comic based repaints using movie based molds. With the Wolverine:Origins-comic subline, you have all new molds for comic-based appearances.

Ah, you're talking 'guys at Hasbro working with one another and using each other's tooling'. I was talking 'toss them together and play with all of them regardless of the packaging they came in'.
metaphorge:
I'm confused as to why theres a diference in hip articulation style between these and the MU figures. Maybe these were initially designed at a different scale and then were shrunk?
Zalis:
Aside from Maverick and Deadpool, I'll probably be passing on most of these.
Shin Densetsu:

Doubt it, I think it is just there to test the waters and see if it is successful enough to use for Marvel Universe and other lines, as it brings them one step closer to matching articulation on bigger figures like ML.
AdrienVeidt:
Yeah, since it's a limited line for the movie, they're more willing to throw ideas at the wall to see what sticks.

Here's a sneak peak at comic based figures of Blob and Sabretooth (Jim Lee Costume) from the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine "Comic Series" figure line. Props to Mr Fiend from Fwoosh for the pic.



I really like Blob. Though it doesn't look like he has much articulation. Of course, it's hard to articulate fat characters so I don't mind.

Sabretooth looks great though. I'm glad they did the more well known costume for him, in addition to the modern costume we've already seen.
scarecrow:
Ah... The Blob looks horrific... As he should.
DESTRO:
The Blob looks like a pass but Sabretooth looks awesome.
Shin Densetsu:
I have a feeling that more articulation will be put into Blob, but if none is added, I won't be buying that.

Sabretooth however, HELL YEAH! That looks so much better than the ML version too(I didn't like the redundant foot/toe joint and the huge shoulders). This one is excellent, I dig the way the hair is sculpted too.
DESTRO:
Wolverine Motorcycle and the Role Play Claw

X-Men Origins Wolverine Cruiser
Beast:
Both of those are easy passes for me.

Cool for the kiddies though.
Shin Densetsu:
Heck yea, I'm getting the Tiger Stripe and Brown Costume Wolvy figures, not sure on the street clothes Logan.

Are those for the Wolverine movie line or Wolverine & the X-Men cartoon line?

Same here! That and the brown costume are my all time favorites!
Kluster Bombs:
I can't wait to get them all.
Flint:
Blob rules! How do you not love a fat guy like that?
Alyosha:
Looks like ol' Blobbo-butt has body slam action given the limited articulation and the pre-pose of his hands. I can live with it, if that's the reason for the limited posability. 'Tooth looks great, as I always liked the Jim Lee design.

The package samples of Logan and tiger-stripe Wolvie look better as well.
Beast:
One thing is really bugging me though.

The fact that they're "Comic Series" figures, but that Wolverine's claws are coming from between the fingers instead of from the back of the hand.

It may make me pass on most of the Wolverine figures. Which is annoying.
Cavbeast:
Faboo, I'm digging these figures. And I may have overlooked that long list of Wolverine figures but we need a House of M Wolverine. That Stormtrooper/honor guard outfit was pretty sharp.
EFC:
not too bad of a line, everyone needs a deadpool in there collection though!!!
Chaos Muffin:
Sweet, even though I feel like I already own them. I see they're still sticking the claws on Wolverine's hands

It's 2009 already, can't we get some pop out claws? It's not as fun when they're always out

The Deadpool's cool, we can always use more of those figs.

At 3-3/4" scale that might kill elbow and wrist articulation. The better alternative would be swappable hands.
knownasx:
want them all

My freind just found an Iron Man..the hunt is on....
