First off I wont try and defend what is speculation and continuity based changes that have occurred over decades. The guy who created Wolverine has denied the wolverine cub theory but it has been referenced to in issues. I too would deny something that lame. But we cannot be sure due to the ambiguous nature of Logan's past. But he was originally 4 foot 5". And he weighs 295 ponds without his adimantium, which adds an extra 105 ponds for a total of 300 ponds.

I wont argue opinions here. I've simple presented my opinion and why I think the MU mold is the better mold. I respect that many like the XMO version. That's great because there are more XMO versions than MU. So you guys should be happy. No doubt you'll continue to get more.

As far as the artist style and interpretation having nothing to do with it. I couldn't disagree more. Where do you think the trading card and bio specs you speak of come from. Years of tweaking and stylistic changes have lead to a norm. Most long time characters have taken on specific traits that were favored over the years. Like evolution in a way. And Wolverine has consistently been drawn taller than his bio says.

The way I see it, the MU Wolverine next to the new DD mold looks mostly in scale. But then they take a body type like DD and Cyclopes that is a kind of average for the MU comics and use it for Commander Rogers (who I know came first) who should be taller and wider himself. Looking at the figures as a whole I would say scale is increasing making the MU Wolverine fit more than when he was released in wave 1.

I know the MU version is too tall, but he's not as tall as the XMO version is short. When I look at the XMO version alongside other MU X-Men he looks way out of place. Now I would say that's not just an opinion, but a fact. However, if someone disagrees and likes it, thats fine. But I still believe otherwise.

I've mentioned in other posts what I would do to the MU mold to make it more accurate. But Hasbro does not listen to me.

In addition to the XMO version being too short, he has the lame single claw, less rang of motion, is made from a poorer quality of plastic and has inferior paint apps.
