I found these today at Toys R Us. I'm not sure I've seen them before.
Also, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. If it's not can a mod please move? Edit: Sorry about the Justin Bieber photobomb Last edited by ORIO; 05-24-2011 at 07:26 PM.. |

This brings up a big debate, as Wolverine is not in the movie, but apparently they need his image and product to promote it. The question is, is Wolverine bigger than the X-Men franchise?

He's always been the most heavily promoted character for each film, his standalone was a success, and I think it was easier on Hasbro to not make a figure line was because he's not featured in the film. I'll be honest, now I think he is kind of overrated but as a kid who grew up in the '90's, I was a Wolverine fanatic. I had all the different variants from the Toy Biz line, dressed up as Wolvie for Halloween in I think '93, and when I was a freshman in high school, and the local comic store got the figures from the first X-Men film early, I overpaid just to get the Logan figure early.

The movie was rushed into production and Hasbro had to throw out some merchandise somehow. So a couple quick repaints of figures and accessory it is! It's interesting to note that this is actually part of the Marvel Universe line. The back of the box even shows some of the series 3 figures you can collect. So this is the first ever accessory or role play in the line. |

I suspect we'll be seeing other more repackaged stuff as First Class does better and better at the box office. It seems like the reviewers are universally loving the film more than even thor. Which in turn is going to make retailers bug hasbro about wanting to capitalize on the success via merchandise. Last edited by Snowflakian; 05-25-2011 at 02:49 PM.. |

Honestly... this is the first I've seen these branded under the Marvel Universe packaging, which to me is bizarro. I have seen these however for the wolverine origins movie, as well as the wolverine and the x-men cartoon show. Slightly different packaging and paint color choices, but still the same damn plastic piece of garbage product. 6 steak knives, a set of leather gloves and some ducttape, and you got yourself the real deal haha. These toys never really sold very well, IM0, These claws are on par with the Iron man clip on repulsar, Iron man Mask, and thor's helmet and hammer. The hammer I will say is actually pretty well done, and I'm somewhat waiting for them to go on clearance so I can justity buying 1 and displaying is on my wall.

How much is is the Nerf Mjolnir in Canada? Because I totally think it's worth $10 USD.
The Wolverine claw gloves, on the other hand, are definitely a clearance-only purchase, even with a new paint scheme. I would only pick them up if they drop to $10 for a set of two.

Now that I think of it, a Wal-Mart in my area actually had the ones in XMO:Wolverine packaging at the beginning of this year.
