The only difference between the Target Two Pack Wolfie and this one, from what I can tell, is the Hasbro blue highlights that Hasbro put on the Wolfie two pack to make him look "classic". The one with sentinel doesnt have this woohoo!

It isn't the Target one, that's what I thought too, and I have that. The Target one does not have sculpted tiger stripes, nor does it have a waist swivel. It also swivels at the bicep, in lieu of elbrows.

I'm looking forward to picking up most the cap line. I'm still hoping to see more comic style figures from the Thor line. At the very least comic alternatives of Loki and Odin.

What I love is that the Captain America figures, well the regular ones for the most part, have the new style Marvel Universe hip articulation. I wish we could have bicep swivel too, but I'll settle for elbrows. Also, look at the proportions for Winter Soldier, Ultimate Cap, regular Cap, and New Cap; ALL more muscular as opposed to scrawny like the Marvel Universe versions.

Earlier this year some of us(myself included), were clamoring for new versions of Captain America that were more updated compared to the ones we already had. Now that I've seen these? Not anymore. I'm happy. I think the only thing I will do is swap out the shields with the Marvel Universe versions so I can have the new "Caps" with regular shields, in lieu of gimmicky over-sized shields.

The head might be from the Giant X-Men box set bu I'm not sure. The legs are definitely ball jointed. Good move in the right direction; we are finally closer to a Marvel Universe style Wolverine that is IN SCALE(as opposed to XMO Origins style...this figure seems like a blend, for example, it has elbrows but MU hips)!
