Those are a good example of why I don't care for seperated claws. It hardly seems worth it to try for the detail of seperated claws if the finished product looks like 3 chunky, limp, silver hotdogs.

BTW- I'd love to trade someone a set of those "Patch seperated claw hands" for a pair of the "XMO Spec Ops Wolvie uni-claw hands" if anyone is interested.

I know that, friend. That's the exact point I was trying to make in regard to the poster's qualm against the XMO body paint apps. That point was regardless if it was an XMO buck or a brand new MU buck, paint would apply just the same.

I would rather see a new buck used instead of reusing the outdated XMO molds. If we are going to get more Wolverines, and we definitely are, I would rather have something more up to date. Give it the Avengers style hips and I would be happy too. This thread is about Wolverine getting a new buck, a new buck for other characters can be discussed in a new thread or existing thread where it was already brought up.

Also understood. I'm just trying to pinpoint why you think Wolverine needs new buck. You say the XMO buck is outdated. I feel the total opposite. I think it's the closest thing to a perfect figure likeness that any MU character has. There have been plenty of toys made that were much worse than their like predecessor. The new MU female bodies are a great example of that. If Logan did get a new buck, in all likelihood, I feel it probably be much worse. I'm sure a lot of people would feel differently being they'd prefer hotdog claws, broker-ankles, and 6" proportions on 1/18th scale figures.
