Colossus from Xmen Origins Wolverine out

boombatty · 09-14-2009, 06:58 AM

Hi all, I happen to be in the Chester County (Rt. 322), PA Wally World on Sunday and picked up two (one to customize) of the Wolverine XM Origins: Colossus figures so I guess they are out. The Wally World computer didn't have them listed though so I had to go pull a tag from another figure which may mean it was a mistake they were out.
Thought I'd let the MU/Wolvie hunters know.

By the way, the figure sucks compared to the SHS version. It is very short and looks more like Marvel's Hammerhead gangster guy. If you can get the SHS version I'd recommend it.

How's the height compared to MU Hulk?

Great find! Any pics?

Much much shorter. The figure is only slightly taller than the rest of the XMO line so you can imagine. It looks like the MU Hulk, who isn't very tall to begin with, could flatten Colossus pretty easily.

Sorry, it never occurred to me although it probably should have, next time I'll remember to do so. I can't now as I am on the road until Thursday and I didn't bring the figure with me.

I found him Wally on friday. Here are some pics with some MU.

ludovicotek · 09-14-2009, 05:56 PM

Damn. It's too bad he is so short. But he still looks pretty bad ass. I'll be on the lookout for him now.

IcantBseriouS · 09-14-2009, 06:27 PM

Wow. He should be taller than sabertooth. Bummer, I was really wanting that fig. There is always hope for him to be included in the MU Secret Wars line.

On a semi-related note, is the Blob/Sabretooth 2-pack in stores yet? I haven't found it anywhere.

Yup, I got mine a while back at Walmart.

I got mine online at Toys-R-Us a while back as well. The Blob is lame in articulation but beggers can't be choosers I guess

Hmmmm, shortness aside he's really not a bad figure. I'll still pick him up as a placeholder for a better version in the future, that is if there is one.

There already is a better one. Marvel News Reviews Images and more - MarvelousNews.com

nitewing73 · 09-16-2009, 07:53 AM

I like this one. Will definitely pick it up when I see it.

Snowflakian · 09-16-2009, 09:41 AM

Anyone know if the head is replaceable with the two pack XMO colossus one?

Prem1x · 09-16-2009, 03:20 PM

I saw the sculptor's prototype pic: Paul Harding Studios: Colossus

Its very nice indeed. I think it could have been 1/4 taller but maybe he was under size restrictions from line management. If the eyes weren't painted so dark, I think it would have been alot better looking. Still going to try to find one though.

Oh, and the hammer should have been a lamp post or I-beam (like the forthcoming Luke Cage's).

Superhero Showdown. It was a line of 3.75" Marvel figures made by ToyBiz. They used the action figures as game pieces for a battle game.

You can find some more info on them at http://www.toymania.com/columns/spot...showgame.shtml

Prem1x · 09-17-2009, 07:38 AM

Not to be confused with Superhero Squad which is a current line Hasbro started in 2006 in which the figures are about 2" tall and look child-like.

You just have to guess the context in which SHS is used

Snowflakian · 09-17-2009, 01:06 PM

well it'd help if we refered to the other SHS as Squadies from now on...

Like the toon that premiered recently did.

Oucheth FTW!

When did the cartoon premiere? I actually wanted to check it out to see how they handled the cutesy characters.

decepticon_mark · 09-17-2009, 02:37 PM

Caught it Monday night. It's on from 2 to 3 pm Central time tomorrow and then again Sat. morning. It's pretty good all things considered. Though they really "generalized" all the characters personalities.

That is why I prefer to us MLS(not Major League soccer) or just Showdown.
Toybiz changed the name to Marvel Legends Showdown after the first initial wave of figures.
