Well, sort of. I realize in the comic it is Daken but the figure has a different look in the face than the Tiger Stripe Yellow Wolverine so it works well. I said Brown Costume Wolverine b/c he IS Wolverine in Dark Avengers much in the way Bullseye IS Hawkeye, and Venom IS Spiderman as per the public's knowledge. As for the claws, I have been trying to figure out a good way to customize this (too bad Hasbro didn't give us too sets of hands for the swap) as the claws are stuck together (the Marvel Legends Showdown claws on Wolverine were much better done). Anyhoo, I wouldn't be surprised if the Hasbro team on XM Origins doesn't simply do said swap in a future wave and re-release as a 'new' figure. I must say though, Hasbro could easily make a killing with a few paint apps and head swaps and fire out a banging 6 figure Box Set of the Dark Avengers.
1) Iron Patriot is basically done, just new paint needed.
2) Venom, once again, done, no change needed but could add a second or new head with a big tooth grin (hopefully more like the original McFarlane version and not the goofy misshaped head and giant stupid tongue hanging version the character became).
3) Ms. Marvel, take modern head, old school body add cape. Done
4) Wolverine Daken, replace claws, done.

Well at least they are 2/3 of they way. If Rulk is joining they are even closer, then it's just a matter of adding one of the outstanding figures Sentry, Hawkeye or Ares. I would think Sentry or Hawkeye would be the easiest. Sentry is a standard body with a new paint job, cape and head (they could user the Punisher body as a base easily, that thing was huge). Hawkeye could be refactored from the DD/Bullseye or XF Wolverine pretty easily as well.
