Those are good representations of Wolverine's actual hight. I tried to find some images but couldn't really find anything that worked. But still, in many cases he's drawn taller. But all these images do show him thicker then what the XMO version has him at. I just don't like the figure. In the images I have of them the Cyclops and XMO Wolverine look very strange together. I own I think 5 of the XMO Wolverine figures and just can't stand them. If you swap out MU Wolverine's head with Daken's head he looks much better.

I just think all the little things ad up against the XMO version. I would love to see a new sculpt that gets it somewhere in-between and ads some rocker ankles and its good to go.

Definitely agree with you on those points. In "Wolverine and the X-Men" it is very stout. A lot like that "X-Men" picture I posted where he is talking to Spider-Man. At first I thought Deadpool was supposed to be farther away in that picture but they are all coming out of the portal at the same time and they look to be mostly in line. I think the artist just messed up trying to put Deadpool in farther back.

My main issue with the original mold was that giraffe neck. Whenever I look at my Daken it makes me sad. I just wish they had used the claws that came with Patch Logan from the Silver Samurai comic pack more. But really, Wolverine needs a wrist hinge for his claw action. I want a new mold but with new costumes like Ultimate Wolverine or AoA.


I do think the XMO is spot on for how he was drawn in the brown and tan days.

Of all the XMO figures, no one ever mention Maverick. I was really glad we got that guy and the figure is decent. I was so glad when they remade Sabertooth as that figure was just about perfect.
