I don't really think there's anything wrong with the XO Wolverine mold. Sure, the ball joints can be annoying, but he's properly-scaled for the rest of the MU figures unlike the actual MU Wolverine. Wolverine is officially 5' 3" while Iron Man, for example, is officially 6' 6" (when armored). Both MU figures are about the same height, even though there should be a scaled difference of 1' 3".[/QUOTE]

I like the MU Wolverine figure, it is a bit taller than it should be but that doesn't bothers me nearly as much as a midget Daredevil, should be 6 foot, midget Magneto 6.2, midget Mr. Fantastic 6.1, midget Winter Solder and new Cap 5.9 and Bullseye 6. This mold was a disaster. But no lets just keep using it. Compare these midgets to some of the shorter characters from Marvel. Iceman 5.8 and Spiderman BW 5.10 they used the tallest standard size mold that towers any Iron man sculpt that by the way is a bit taller than the Wolverine.

[QUOTE=trebleshot;56792]So Hasbro cut corners by not including an accessory that would have been as large as the actual figure itself? GR is a single-carded figure, therefore no bike. Simple as that. It would break the budget, not to mention having to redesign the packaging to accomodate it doubling in size.

My hope is that eventually a comic-pack or deluxe version is released with the bike, similar to the XMO Wolverine releases.

This line is priced about the same as the ML line was when it came out. These figures are between 1/3rd and 1/4th the size of the ML line figures. ML included larger scale, larger packaging, larger bases (that in themselves ranged between 2 to 3 times the size of a MU figurer), a full sized comic, more accessories and more joints witch took more molds and time to assemble. From a marketing standpoint this line is brilliant, We can give them so much less and charge them about the same price. They save on reusing molds, they fit more product on pegs. It's a win win and in no way do they even consider giving us a bike with Ghost Rider.

Maybe the cool thing to do would have been to give us the "deluxe version"before releasing the single carded figure. But why not milk us twice.



So just who's budget is breaking here?
