[Marcel54]

Looks great. I love the Japanese theme. I don't do 1/4 scale normally but I might make an exception for this one :buttrock:

[wanderlai]

So where does this fall in the list of upcoming statues?

[TethMau74]

This looks VERY nice and the Japanese theme base is perfect!

[Remember Me?]

I like it, but the rooftop could use a few arrows!

[frenchyoutoo]

I wonder how long it is for a 3d rendition to come out is.
Would love to see switch out arms. Ones that are abit tighter to the body maybe for variation.

Also that bases gotta be detailed to the GILLS when they start sculpting it. I wanna feel like I've time warped into japan.

[Lawnknome]

I like it, but the rooftop could use a few arrows!

YES! For him to be going battle rager like this, there needs to be evidence of a fight.

[Demona]

I saw this on FB and knew it was going to be a hit.

I'm not sure why he would have swords on the roof though, I'd take those out and go with arrows. And the shine that will be on those claws....ooooo doggie

Another stunner is on the way for Wolvie fans. Congrats!

I wonder if this opens the door for other 1/4 X-Men? I'm just saying that Rogue should be next. Seriously. Rogue.

[frenchyoutoo]

Also get those NINJA STARS on there yo!!

yeh I think those swords gotta go, the way they are placed it looks unwitting to the scene

Yes, it would be good to have some arm variations.

Pretty sure the swords and helmet belong the Silver Samurai. A major person in Logan's life. So I vote for them to stay.

[vorpoll]

Loving it so far and some great suggestions on here as well!!

[SideShowJoe]

Shut up....No way this is really confirmed is this fake or is this real? We were just talking about this the other day and the base too just seems too much like coincidence!

And I love it but I haven't even received my yellow wolverine yet! Damn damn damn....this year is going to leave me living on streets but at least I'll have my statues in my refrigerator cardboard box to keep me company!!

Sarah Joe

[adee]

I'm glad I held out for the Brown. I prefer that costume and dig the concept on this. I hope the base just doesn't overshadow the figure.

[Demona]

They just seem so neatly placed. And why would they be on a roof without SS being there?

I really love the reference but it seems oddly positioned/placed.

You know you'll be buying brown Wolvie, Sarah. After all, two is better than one. :D

For myself, I like the line art a lot. I wonder what the release schedule is on it. I might look into seeing if I can move my deposit from the yellow Wolvie to this brown one once we get more info on it. Looking forward to more info on this piece in the coming months.

[Grifterr]

I like the samurai swords, but I would have liked it even more if the Samurai helmet was situated on an actual Silver Samurai 1/4 statue:).

[Synzaic]

Why would the doors need to be opened? They already made a Phoenix, wolverine and mags out of the 9 statues that have been up for pre order.

33% of the statues xm has produced have been x-men. :p

And cables on the way.... Can't wait

[Demona]

I think there is a lot more creative issues on X-Men than other Marvel lines. The movie rights vs comic rights can make the mutants a big headache for many companies.

XM has really focused on them, which is excellent. I hope to see the trend continue. However, I would like to see more X-Ladies made. Only one out of 5 has been a female and there will be two Wolverines ;P

[nexus]

Looking great. The base is fantastic, the pose is dynamic and finally a brown Wolverine in 1:4 scale (how many years did folks bug Sideshow about producing one). I need to unload one of my SS Wolverines now.

[kevin2323]

I now know whats throwing this off a bit for me. the legs are positioned exactly like the current XM wolverine and the upper body is very stiff. im sure this will change as time goes along but that's my first reaction.

also XM why not take away the sword and helmet and put ninja stars, arrows and other ninja weapons scattered around ( maybe even a ninja or 2 face down on the roof)

then once you get to doing silver samurai you can mirror the wolverine base and have him with his sword ready to take on wolverine. it would be 2 great pieces that could stand alone but also interconnect to make a "diorama"

man, i should have saved this idea for the "silver samurai design contest" ahaha.

[SONICobra]

looks awesome, only thing I would suggest is lose the swords they look odd sticking up from the top of the roof in their sheaths. they make the base look a little too busy, less is more

Now THAT can't be a coincidence.

[supermetroid]

I'm more excited about a potential 1/4 Silver Samurai!

[adee]

If the base features were optional that would cool. It just all seems a bit much for me right now.
Is the piece on the corner of the roof a coy fish?

[Hellboy]

THIS is the Wolverine I've been waiting my entire collecting life for. I've always been partial to the brown costume, love the earthy tones to it. This will be mine for certain.

Definitely agree some arrows would add a lot to the theme.

[yeek]

Yep, I feel the same way. I always liked the brown costume more than the yellow one.

[ambasah]

I just hope his claws are not over the top.

[loricstone]

I disagree with this for this particular piece. I hear everyone saying remove the swords but add arrows, ninja stars, a couple dead ninja, etc. Whichever way you go, its going to be busy.

For a dynamic statue like Wolvie, I feel the extra touches like what is suggested or what is there now bring the scene to life. You can tell he is in a battle and not just posing.

JM2C

[azurepred]

I'll be waiting for the SS version. I wanted him in the snow so he could be paired up with a future sabertooth. It looks like both companies will have this in the works at the same time.

[wolf-brother]

We were just discussing this yesterday HB. What a nice coincidence. :)

I'm with you as I have been waiting for a Brown costume also. :buttrock:

Now all we need from XM is some confirmation as to its approximate release date.

[AC_808]

Yep, I feel the same way. I always liked the brown costume more than the yellow one.

Same here ...I've always been more partial to the brown costume. But I have nothing against the yellow one. That's why I have that on PO as well.

I can't wait for this one, tho! I want to see a 3D rendering soon...

[wanderlai]

This one, from what I understand, can't be done until SS releases their planned brown Wolverine.

[Apetina]

This one, from what I understand, can't be done until SS releases their planned brown Wolverine.

Where did you get that info? is reliable?

[Peedi]

I WANT I WANT I WANT!!!!!

I plan on getting this.

Has anybody from XM given an official word this won't be released until SS does theirs? Because aside from the thread Igo made in the SS section about ideas for a brown Wolverine PF, there's been no word from SS about their version.

XM is already posting the line art. Traditionally that usually means they've got good forward momentum with actually bringing the product out and the digital sculpt is next. SS's production takes YEARS, since Igo just created that thread last year asking for pose ideas I take it that means they hadn't started sculpting yet. You can see a rough sculpt from SS and it'll still be another 2 years before the PO is ready.

I don't think XM will be waiting for SS if they're showing us this now.

[Demona]

Yea I'm confused too as to why XM would have to wait for SS.

It's not like they waited for SS to create a Magneto, Phoenix, or Cable.

It's more like SS should wait til XM creates their pieces so they can piggyback on the demand generated.

[SONICobra]

I disagree with this for this particular piece. I hear everyone saying remove the swords but add arrows, ninja stars, a couple dead ninja, etc. Whichever way you go, its going to be busy.

For a dynamic statue like Wolvie, I feel the extra touches like what is suggested or what is there now bring the scene to life. You can tell he is in a battle and not just posing.

JM2C

i get what youre saying and to a point i agree, i wouldnt be opposed to 3-4 arrows randomly placed on the rooftop. that gives the impression hes yelling at his opponents. having sheathed swords stickin out of the roof seems pretty forced to me. "put some samurai swords up there too, those are japanese..." the arrows would tell a story, the swords wouldnt make sense - in my opinion ;)

[Spec Fiction]

XM continues to push the envelope which is what is needed to keep things progressing. I can only imagine what this hobby will be like in ten years.

[Bobfrog]

I wonder how long it is for a 3d rendition to come out is.
Would love to see switch out arms. Ones that are abit tighter to the body maybe for variation.

Also that bases gotta be detailed to the GILLS when they start sculpting it. I wanna feel like I've time warped into japan.

Probably will see a render tomorrow. XM has a habit of showing pics and then very soon thereafter showing actual 3d renderings.

[The Mule]

I have one major complaint, which is the pose. It's basically the same pose of the already done Wolverine.
When I first read about the concept of the rooftop, I was expecting either a crouching Wolverine, or him standing straight. I think they should dare more and make this brown Wolvie in a completely different style than the other.
I've always seen the brown costume Wolverine lending himself to a grittier and rawer style, wouldn't mind seeing some more bulk on his body and blood on him and on the base. This should look like if Wolverine has just done some of his dirty job.

I like the direction they took w/ Logans' hair. It's a bit ruffled, messier as opposed to his classic costume in which his "do" seems like he just stepped out the barbers. Definitely will cop. Another XM hit

I know what you mean. Although I'm okay with this current pose, I wouldn't mind another pose such as this one from one of my favorite comics:

the current pose works if he's dodging or getting hit by arrows, ninja stars, etc. if he's clean then the pose doesnt work.

[adee]

I liked the pose on the first and still like it on the second but I understand the complaint for those that will have both. I think it's different enough from the waist up. Mirroring the stance would be cooler.

[wanderlai]

Where did you get that info? is reliable?

It was talked about on the other board how SS has a window on certain characters to make one first. I have no idea if that's true or not. There are reasons though why Marvel only allows certain things to be made. Maybe XM can shed some light on this.

[frenchyoutoo]

I wonder when a Wolverine statue will come out with switch out arms with bone claws. Was there ever a time in his brown costume days in Japan were he had bone claws?

Would be cool if his pose was abit lower so one switch out arm had him dragging his claws into the roof tiles. Even though that means there will always be a three blade scratch on the roof base, but I'd be kewl wit dat.

Yeah, people grabbing their c**k already and expecting XM to screw up and have repercussions.

[built2shred]

Ink the moderator from Freaks board was the one who mentioned it. He has said in the past that he has behind the scenes knowledge of SS stuff so it might be true...

But given that XM is already showing artwork it tells me the exclusive rights had a time limit on it and odds are that time limit is about to expire... just a guess though..

[built2shred]

Kind of looks like he's about ready to jump off the roof and land on a group of bad guys :)

[jcasalone]

Wow, I am going to have to get this. As a collector located in the United States, what would be the online retail outlets for me to use in hopes of acquiring a pre-order. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

[MechWestern]

I'm kind of with you here. I know they have a list of overseas distributors, but I don't know which to go with, and I know bbts gets preorders, and all I read about is some guy named, "Mike"! lol

Who do most of you U.S. buyers go through?

[ambasah]

simpletoys will be your best bet unless you are able to secure one from the "guys" on facebook.

[Gollum]

This is going to be an amazing statue I can't wait to have this in my collection.

The waiting is going to be so painful I hope its not too long.

When XM first mentioned they had a Brown Wolvie many months ago they stated they had some licensor restrictions and they would not even show the render so their idea would not be copied.

Showing this line art seems to indicate that things have changed as far as the restrictions.

Hopefully XM will give us something official to stop the speculation.

Ink does seem to have some insider knowledge but then again he's someone that never has anything good to say about XM at all, and he never gives clear answers to things. He's got his own SS specific agenda.

[wanderlai]

There is a list of official retailers on the first age of the "ask XM" thread. All the official retailers are overseas. The 3 US retailers are not official retailers. They rely on getting stock through dealers and that stock is very limited. With demand so high I bet the US retailers get shut out before long. You can try reaching out to one of the dealers but they have a steady flow of repeat customers now.

[wolf-brother]

Not only that, he has also posted some bogus info in the past.

[The Mule]

BTW I found a shorter way to express how I feel about this piece:
make him more savage and raw, take inspiration from Dell'Otto and Deodato.

[wanderlai]

If waiting on SS it's going to be a long time.

[Hellboy]

We were just discussing this yesterday HB. What a nice coincidence. :)


I know, strange coincidence? Or were they reading our conversation and this was their answer? Makes you wonder. :thinking:

Either way, I'm stoked. :buttrock:

Now gimme my Nightcrawler XM!! :D

[MechWestern]

Thanks for the ordering tips!

[supermn619]

This current pose is cool .... but for ME ... this is way to much shelf space than my collection can handle ... congrats to those that are getting him... if his arms were down than i would consider it:)

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/supermn619/Wolverine-1_zpsq4h4qgdv.png



either way its nice!

[Freakshow]

Nice i have always liked the brown costume over the blue one.
But i dont like the pose on this one :(
Would like to see him standing straight,like in the first picture of him in the snow.
The rooftop is a homerun though :)

[kevin2323]

either way its nice!

yeah like this is better. the other way it looks like he's getting hit by something or he's the king of the world on titanic. i will wait for actual 3d sculpt

[wolf-brother]

I would be thrilled if XM includes switch out arms for optional display as I like the arms closer to the body also. :praying:

[adee]

Optional arms would be welcome here too.

[supermn619]

And Erick Sosa to do at least 1 off the heads;)
o hell just have Erick Sosa make this than I will cave in!!!

[gomur]

Optional arms would be welcome here too.

That's the best route. I really love the original sketch with his arms wide open.

Hey, "With Arms Wide Open". By Creed.

Victor Creed. Wolverine's nemesis? What the-

:vortex:

In all seriousness, I get why people would have reservations about a statue taking up space in a display, but it just feels wrong to pass up an awesome pose for space restrictions.

I feel the arms open pose is so dynamic and feral and "come at me, bro-ninjas" that it's gotta stay. Alternate arms would work to give a more compact and balled up Wolverine, but you can't throw away the beast who has just exploded on the scene.

[Epwing]

Congratulations to those whom PO the first XM Wolverine. Now this brown one can do a switch out base with the first. I like the brown wolverine on the sentinel head.

[SideShowJoe]

edit

[Epwing]

Definitely no uncanny coincidence. The pose for both wolverine are the same. Both bases shall be able to switch out, which make sense to PO and keep both.
This will keep both very much a keeper. So stick on with your first Wolverine.

Yeah, I also prefer full sculpted.Mixed media is hard to maintain over time especially in my region.

[XMAN]

THIS is the Wolverine I've been waiting my entire collecting life for. I've always been partial to the brown costume, love the earthy tones to it. This will be mine for certain.

Definitely agree some arrows would add a lot to the theme.

You're not alone ....been waiting for this to be produced for years in this scale.....always had hope sideshow would do it.... but now that doesn't matter......

[loricstone]

BTW I found a shorter way to express how I feel about this piece:

And all this from line art? :confused:

[SideShowJoe]

That would actually be really cool if you could switch them out as they look like they have similar stances..

Either way no matter what I'm buying this brown version as this will be my first brown wolverine collectible of any kind and i can't wait as we've all been waiting so long for this…

Even if Sideshow releases theirs soon up for PO I'm not sure if i would order unless its awesome base and design and sculpt because most of us know that SS Brown Wolverine will feature pajama outfit which I'm really not fond of at all, i want my brown wolverine to be completely sculpted and XM is giving us all what we wanted and have been waiting for :)

Gotta love XM!!

Props to XM Studios if switching out bases is what they had planned all along.

[SONICobra]

lot of speculation round here...

was looking at the collection tonight and realized the pose is a little too similar to the ss comiquette so ill have to pass if this is in fact what they go with. love the concept and the pose but cant have two "come at me bro" wolverines lol - not saying they should change it because based on this concept art it looks rad but it would be a pass for me personally

to those wanting switch out arms you have to remember those arms are attached to shoulders, which are attached to the upper back, traps and chest. you cant just change the direction of the arms without changing everything else (from this pose). maybe bend the elbows but that's about it

[SONICobra]

This current pose is cool .... but for ME ... this is way to much shelf space than my collection can handle ... congrats to those that are getting him... if his arms were down than i would consider it:)

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/supermn619/Wolverine-1_zpsq4h4qgdv.png



either way its nice!

this I could do, or with his arms crossed - nice work bro :thumbs2:

I still say lose the swords and the silver samurai helmet :flash:

[Synzaic]

I like the arms out. I wouldn't mind switch out arms though. Also when I think of brown wolverine I think of him as being a little more bulky

[Cougrcrumby]

Come to think of it... Why doesn't marvel just stay with the brown costume? It's by far the better of the two imho.

[The Mule]

And all this from line art? :confused:

Nope, based on their previous Wolverine. Which is great, but looks too "clean" to me. And since they seem to be recycling the pose I hope they don't recycle the style too.

[Bobfrog]

Personally I think it would've been better to have had Brown wolvie in a slightly different pose. Then on both the sentinel and the roof just have additional foot pegs (that can be hidden) for the alternative wolvie pose if you so wish to swap them around.

Having exactly the same leg stance to me would look a bit odd when they are displayed near one another (whether the upper torso is different or not).

Would've preferred to have seen him maybe slanting down the rooftop, maybe one hand resting on the coy and the other arm outstretched as shown.

Sure it will look stellar but that would've been more to my taste .

[kevin2323]

Nope, based on their previous Wolverine. Which is great, but looks too "clean" to me. And since they seem to be recycling the pose I hope they don't recycle the style too.

agreed . obviously this isnt even close to the final product but he needs something. he is too clean to be fighting on a rooftop with swords and a helmet on the ground.

[needstatuerehab]

2nd wolverine, how about giving us another hulk ;-)

[Y3E]

BTW I found a shorter way to express how I feel about this piece:

Now you're talking. One of the best artists out there and someone who deserves more recognition.

[The Mule]

For great justice. First two pics would be perfect for the pose on this new Wolvie, either standing straight in all his bulk or crouching&berserker'ing. I'de love to see more savagery and raw badassery in the sculpt.

[SONICobra]

love the pose in the first pic, the last one looks good too but it would have to be slightly tweaked (right hand claws out, more of a standing pose than crouching)

[Awesome]

yeah the first picture is great.

[marker2037]

I really only like the 2nd and 4th pics you posted.

Overall, so far I don't love the pose or head positions chosen. Way too early though so I'm keen to see more updates. I like the base idea though.

[actionjackson83]

still would rather have him in a throw down pose with screaming head:

Yea, I like that pose.

[actionjackson83]

Surround him with Ninjas and done! Maybe put him facing off against silver Samurai for a 1/4 scale dio!

if only, if only...

that's a statue pose right there.

wouldn't know how switch out arms will work though considering shoulders cant move. sure there's a way

[SONICobra]

why would you need switch out arms? that pose is full on win, switch out portrait and call it a day

[actionjackson83]

Rice fields, or grass fields base with 2-4 armed ninjas surrounding him or maybe a snow fields base hmm...

[The Mule]

Agreed. That's a good pose, and switch out arms are not an absolute must. Follow Resinworx's route and offer multiple portraits, if anything.
Or, switch out lower legs. That hunched pose could work also with straight legs, make them spread but straight, like the Deodato artwork I posted.
Switch out legs + two portraits. Either base is fine. Rooftop, dead ninjas, snow, snowy rooftop, dead ninjas in the snow, snow on rooftop ninjas, ninjas on the snowy rooftop without Wolverine... pick one.

[Grifterr]

As long as they make a Silver Samurai as a companion piece all proposed changes are fine. Might go easy on the dead ninjas though,I do not like corpses on my bases.

[frenchyoutoo]

why would you need switch out arms? that pose is full on win, switch out portrait and call it a day

Just why not? If you like the other setup you set it up if you dont you don't. If an option is there to have something awesome with a switch out then why not?

I don't know my wolverine that well but if he had bone claws with that brown suit, that'll be my option

[jhauser]

this looks cool but not sure it's a must buy yet. Tbh I'd prefer something more along the lines of the Jim Lee art actionjackson83 posted.

because I would prefer that switch out options don't compromise a great pose / piece. believe it or not its ok for something to be just as it is. I get that people want options, that's all fine and good but to have this attitude "the pose is awesome but I don't see how they can do switch out [arms] so I hope they do something else" seems silly to me. not saying you or anyone else actually said that, just seems to be the attitude towards switch out options sometimes. /rantoff :flash:

I am with you on that one. Switch outs come secondary to the actual pose.

Agreed.
Plus, there are always possibilities for switch outs, I don't get why they necessarlily have to be the arms.
Heads are an obvious choice. Unmasked, masked (short ears), masked (long ears). Hell they could probably sneak in, easily, a switch out base. Something simple, plain snowy base with some blood stains.
Switch outs should be thought in function of the pose and concept - not the opposite.

[toe]

I'm skipping on the Brown Wolverine. But any word on an X-Force Wolverine? current version?

[Marvelito]

Wow! This is awesome, and he is even in a leg up pose! :D This could end up being THE Wolverine statue, at least as far as the brown costume goes.

[cannonlocke]

I would rather have a simple base for this version but with a killer iconic pose.

:iagree:

I know. I get what you're saying and youre right.
I'm saying even though it's awesome as it is, if somehow they can make it better with switchouts, pushing the bar, then why not? If it somehow can be better. Better is always good for me.

And you're TOTALLY right! If it compromises the piece then heck no, leave it as is. Just like the new Hulk PF with the switchouts. They should have stayed with one head only.

But yeh if this was somehow the pose they went with, I wouldn't care for switchouts, i jist put it out there to the universr curious to see if XM can push the limits that's all

[XMAN]

why would you need switch out arms? that pose is full on win, switch out portrait and call it a day

Absolutely my thoughts

[StringKeyRhythm]

Is it possible to ditch the underwear look? Magneto had full on red pants and that turned out so much better than the yellow suit wolverine. For a 1:4 scale, I think the underwear/ diaper look should be scrapped.

[azurepred]

that's how they looked in the comics, so most prefer that look. Wait for a modern Wolverine then.

[Viper245]

Absolutely my thoughts

[madmanny]

Is this gone the way of the dodo? Game over man, game over?

[supermetroid]

Yeah, I'd say definitely for now if Deadpool was cancelled. I just hope Cable gets the go ahead.

[Hellboy]

My understanding is it's just on hold, not canceled. I'll be extremely disappointed if this never gets green lit again.

[GrumpyBear]

Yes, XM never talks about canceled, just on hold.

[XMAN]

this will be worth the wait....

[AC_808]

Time to bump this guy up, too!

This Brown Wolverine is also on hold indefinitely.

[Restinpieces]

Then why bump it?:banghead:

[AC_808]

Ha! Only because we were talking about the others and not this guy. This guy I've been waiting for longer than the others.

[adee]

Was hoping this was good news.

[SideShowJoe]

Yes, XM never talks about canceled, just on hold.

Please tell me it's only on hold or I'll seriously freaking cry! Was happy to see some of the newer editions coming to Xm though....

Don't care about winter soldier but pun, pin, and ghost will rawk!!

I passed on the yellow when I had the chance on it because this had been sneaked. I'll be bummed if it doesn't get green lit.

It's on hold indefinitely. By Marvel/Disney. I don't know if that's any better.

[skillet]

Years

[Spidey976]

As of right now these are on hold TILL Marvel/Disney and Fox come to an agreement. If they don't for years or, well, never do these will not see the light of day, which is very unfair. However, as some have said this is Disney trying to exert some pressure to get control of properties they bought. Unfortunately, XM is dealing with that.

[Cali604]

Maybe I'm tripping out but doesnt this look very similar to the concept design for XM's Brown Wolverine (Base arrows, Sword, Japanese theme)?? They even modernized his boots which is more of a distinctive XM thing to do.

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/marvel-wolverine-brown-costume-sideshow-collectibles-3001161/

[Lawnknome]

Yep, sad XM got shut out of Xmen products. SS is obviously getting to put out some of theirs. Not happy.

[Cali604]

I would rather wait for XM to bring out their products even if it is far far down the road. I'm limited on display space, and I just dont want to buy something I think is Okay and then have to sell when I see what XM brings out. XM pieces blow me away so I would rather wait for their Brown Costume Wolverine and Colossus two of my favourites. But the X-men embargo is hurting hard...imagine Juggernaut by XM...

[loricstone]

Yep, sad XM got shut out of Xmen products. SS is obviously getting to put out some of theirs. Not happy.

It's not just XM. This Wolverine and apparently their redone Sabretooth were much like XM Phoenix situation. Brown and yellow Wolvie had been talked about for 3 years so no way Disney was going to put a hold on that.

[Viper245]

Yup I think Sideshow was too far in development just to be told to cancel them. Same case XM had with their Wolvie and Phoenix.

[Smooth Criminal]

The xm concept looked amazing I'll wait for that for time being best brown Wolverine is mad x collector version!

[Dragoncurry]

I'm a fan of his work, but I don't like that Wolverine haha. I think the sabertooth head looks too cartoony, and I hate how he is on that branch like he's spiderman. Again, that's just my opinion, it's a great piece for a lot of people.

That was my first impression as well, seeing how the suit is given some modern flair - not entirely comic book accurate like the other 1/4 scale X-Men. HOWEVER, it's not the first time SS has done this. I recall them adding texture and "realism" to their Legendary Scale Wolverine. So that puts my mind at ease.

As for the Japanese motif, I'm not going to say plagiarism because Brown Wolverine and Japan are so entwined when you look at the classic Logan stories.

It's a shame that one company's version got shelved, but I wouldn't read too much into the similarities.

[AC_808]

I wish I could wait for this XM Brown Wolverine. I just can't tell how long it will be. If and when it comes out I'll most likely get it anyway. Love XM statues!

But for now I'm aiming for the SSC Brown Wolverine. I'd like to see if custom forearms with metal claws can be made, tho.

[Hellboy]

After seeing the reveal for Sideshow's brown costumed Wolverine, and the ridiculous price attached, it appears I'll be waiting for this statue. Probably a good thing as this will likely be the one to own in the long run but it's so disappointing getting this close to owning one of my most wanted pieces only to have it yanked away with no idea when it will resurface. :(

[XMAN]

same boat as you my friend.....I'm in for the wait....

[actionjackson83]

since disney wants to play international police i'll play self police and not buy any statues marvel/fox related.

:iagree:

XM has their distinctive flair on many of their pieces but it seems to have made people forget SS changed costume elements way before XM.

SS is overall more comic accurate, but even the 1st Wolverine PF (yellow) had added elements, from the bottom part of the boots, to the sculpted textures in some spots, to the added trim on the shirt and pants. Not too different from the way they tackled Batman PF's non comic accurate gloves and boots. Black Panther PF has several XM level changes. Even more minor things like Gambit's silver armor (it's light blue in the comics). Maybe not to XM's degree, but it's not uncommon for SS to occasionally do their own thing.

And yeah Brown Wolverine and Japan do just go together. It's kind of the obvious go-to for that costume. So much so that it even made that brief cameo in "The Wolverine" movie for Wolverine's continued adventures with Yukio (sad we never got to follow how that turned out).

IF/WHEN this gets made if you don't live/have family in one of XMs approved regions you are going to pay as much for their Brown Wolverine as you would for a fully painted DarkSpidey Custom Wolverine.

since disney wants to play international police i'll play self police and not buy any statues marvel/fox related.

Go for it... it won't make a damn bit of difference... but if it makes you feel better.:buttrock:

[Demona]

I'm not shocked in the least that SS was given a green light to release Sabertooth and Brown Wolverine.

Who wants to take bets on other long requested pieces to start rolling out? Especially ones that XM had already previewed? I bet the Spider-Man villian line just blows up.

Brown Wolverine is coming back!

[Redpower]

Something japanese like Batman with ultra detailed costume in a dynamic pose,..

[Unknown Hero]

With the news of the Xmen line, I'm transferring my SS Brown Wolverine to something else. I'll wait for XMs wolverine.

[captoz]

Can you do that? I'd like to do the same thing if I can but am on flexpay. Will they do it on flexpay?

[azurepred]

i dont think this will be coming for quite some time if you look at all the pieces that are further ahead in development

[GrumpyBear]

But there was a concept for brown Wolverine, before the on hold situation. I think together with Cable could be not so far away.

[Cali604]

Yes this concept art was already shown. Brown Wolverine had a Japanese themed base so it would be very cool to be able pair him up with XM Batman!

[Unknown Hero]

[IzeroI]

^is that the concept that was originally shown?

[azurepred]

Lol, concept art guys? There's a lot more to do before they even print the statue. Cable was already printed , and deadpool is much further along than this as well. I don't think this would even be available for order til sometime next year if we are lucky

[GrumpyBear]

Counter question, do you really think XM started to work on X-Men statues the day we saw the news? ;)

[Unknown Hero]

I am also under the impression this was practically on its way to the rendering stages before the suspension. The sketch I posted was the first they put on FB, but there was also another. I believe the other wasn't meant for the public though. I think the queue was cable, deadpool, then this and quicksilver.

[Cali604]

I agree Unknown that's how it looked. Based on how far along Cable was I am sure he will be first as well. I thought I heard they might change up Deadpool to more of a dynamic pose. Not sure if anything else has changed but I hope they carry on as before. Wolverine did have another concept pic with arrows I think.

[azurepred]

Counter question, do you really think XM started to work on X-Men statues the day we saw the news? ;)

Well, if you read my post, you can see that I don't think that. My point is there are lots of others further in development than this from what my eyes tell me, and given how long it takes just to go from being printed to going on order, then shipping, this is a long ways away.

[GrumpyBear]

I just really am enamored with the SSC brown Wolvie PF. The figure and base are absolutely amazing IMO. I love the bridge and arrows. The EX is cool and I actually even love the masked portrait. I have no doubt that XM's brown Wolvie will be a great looking piece as well. However, I'm very content with the SSC PF and I don't have enough space or $$$ for 2 statues of the same character wearing the same costume. That's why I'm on the hunt for the XM Weapon X. I don't think that version of Logan will be topped and I really want to add it to my collection.

You can see a bit of the concept at Radd Titan's Magdelena video. Looks like he leaping or something with switch-out arms.

What the hell there are a bunch of concept pictures on the wall and no one has taken pictures yet :sos:

[actionjackson83]

Here's the preview

[Cali604]

:jawd:Seriously bro that is SICK!!! Bone claws! Katannas! He will pair beautifully with XM Batman with that roof top! And that pose he is going to be an eye catcher with his arms spread like that leaping down. Frickin unreal..the best Wolverine ever...and this is from the concept art...sheesh I cant wait to see the final product. this is imo his greatest costume as well. I'm so glad I waited for XM :praying:

[actionjackson83]

Exactly, glad I waited for this to be "the" brown wolverine in my collection.

[Kovenor]

Very nice but the pose is the exact same as venoms

[FastballSpecial]

Wow must own for me!

I love how they show the metal rod going all that way through him for support.

[Cali604]

Very nice but the pose is the exact same as venoms

I dont really see that as a problem. Thats generally how these two brawlers leap into action.

It would be odd having him do a karate kick like Ironfist ;) ...but this is classic Wolverine

[Cali604]

Thank you Actionjackson! you made my day complete

[Cali604]

:thinking:I wonder what other concepts they have up there....

[FastballSpecial]

:thinking:I wonder what other concepts they have up there....

I gotta say thought the switchout bone claws is awesome not to mention the duel wield samurai swords. XM knows what us collectors want :)

[wolf-brother]

Ahh yeah! :smokin: It's dynamic and awesome!

[Hellboy]

That looks sick! Too bad these XM pieces are so damn hard to lock down at a reasonable price.

[wolf-brother]

But so worth it when you get it. :p

[FJC]

Concept art looks great. This is gonna be an awesome statue. However, I'm sticking with my brown PF and going with Weapon X instead of XM's brown Wolvie.

[ambasah]

I like it : )

[generalzodlives]

Pretty damn sweet. Another deep statue like Black Bolt with him leaping forward like that but looks like another must-have.

[AC_808]

Right now the concept has Wolvie attacking down. If XM could just make a minor tweak and have Wolvie attacking forward ...like as if the person he's attacking is in front of him rather than below him ...then that'll give him a more unique pose. His face would also be facing forward and allow us to see his face when displayed.

Right now I like how his arms are on both sides ...and I like the switch out arms. XM should definitely keep them ...but just slightly tweaked for a forward attack.

Overall a great concept. I just want him to be attacking forward instead of down.

[gomur]

Bone claws don't really make sense with this costume but.... nice. ;)

[FJC]

Bone claws don't really make sense with this costume but.... nice. ;)

Agreed. I honestly wouldn't display him with the bone claws, unmasked, or with the twin samurai swords. I'd display him with his metal claws and masked portrait. It'll be nice to see this printed and painted up. I wonder what sculptor they have working on this.

[Spidey976]

Here's the preview

that is a nice concept to be sure, but right now they need to push the pose a little bit more as he looks like he is jumping up not at the target of his rage

http://data.whicdn.com/images/67310957/original.jpg

Yeah this would take some support under the knee, but it would be one of the most amazing Wolverine statues ever made.

He's on a rooftop if he leaps straight forward there should be nobody in front of him.

[loricstone]

Choices and options. If some don't like the bone claws???So what...you can display regular....if you want to see something a little different than the usual adamantium claws, no problem switch up to the bone claws.

Will see what happens with the sculpt in its finished form...but a lunging attack forward doesn't make sense with the base they are going with. Also, engineering issues would seriously arise. Unless you are going to put something underneath his leg to give him additional support, no way a leaping forward attack is really feasible...it would probably cause stress on the resin / cold cast material of Wolverine since.

That's my thinking at least.

[AC_808]

Edit

[wolf-brother]

Like it the way it is. ;)

[Spidey976]

He's on a rooftop if he leaps straight forward there should be nobody in front of him.

Makes about as much sense as him leaping UP on the edge of the rooftop. Out or forward makes him look like he is at least going after someone... up makes it look like he is going after a pigeon... lol

He is going forward. he is not leaping up...but that side picture with the rod going through the base gives an impression he is leaping upward. The problem is some want him to leap like horizontally at you and that is not going to work for this. Plus it doesn't make sense...unless he is Spiderman.

The pose a few of you want has to be done on the ground...but then IMO...the pose would be....BLAH....been there done that...seen that before...yadda yadda.

That looks sick! Too bad these XM pieces are so damn hard to lock down at a reasonable price.

YUP!!! i like this much more than the original concept

[madmanny]

Yeah spot on

There was an OG sculpt?

Nope... You could do a slightly more elevated version with just say a decorative roof piece sticking out to support his forward knee, and then just hide the connection behind say a decorative flag... Totally doable

Not a sculpt but the original concept which was very vague and was prior to the X-Men pieces getting put on hiatus. The new concept looks fantastic.

Old concept:

New concept:

I like that if you display Wolverine with his claws, then you can insert the swords in the back....nice touch.

[Bornthugs]

Awesome

[Swordsman]

the base looks similar to the japanese batman.

[Vecchio1]

Glad i skipped the SS brown.

[Unknown Hero]

the base looks similar to the japanese batman.

Or the batman looks similar to this since the base hasn't changed since the original concept art.

[akumakiller]

This just looks awesome!

[HiTMAN]

Amazing concept art.

[Restinpieces]

Dope AF! :D

[wolf-brother]

Perfect! XM doesn't need to do anything to the pose. :peoples:

[Divo]

Yeah, agreed, no need to touch this one, looks killer perfect.

[actionjackson83]

Batman and wolverine paired up for a story in Japan would be a comic dream come true. So glad the bases somewhat match and I can display them together.

[FJC]

Absolutely! Everything looks great as is.

[MrJones]

Oh damn. This might be THE Wolverine statue.

Since I started collecting I decided I would only get 1 Wolverine and 1 Batman. Every single statue released of both it hasn't been perfect in my eyes. But based on this sketch and how XM seems to improve with each and every statue... this might be it!

LOL! I'm the exact opposite. I have a one statue rule for 1/4 pieces. EXCEPT for 2 characters...Batman and Wolverine.

[loricstone]

For me its a few characters as long as they are different incarnations.

1) Thor (Modern, Asgardian Armor, Classic)
2) Iron Man (due to many armor incarnations)
3) Hulk (Green, Red, King / Planet Hulk, Maestro)
4) Spiderman (Iron, 2099, Classic)
5) Green Lantern (all colors & different Lantern characters like Kilowogg)

I like this concept more than the first one. The only thing I'm worried about is the amount of space it will take front to back. It may be difficult for me to display it.

About the same amount of depth as Batman probably. Not too much or too deep I would think.

I dunno man, if we assume the bases are around the same size the positioning of Wolverine looks like it come a lot further out than the Batman standing straight up.

It's that little comp of how the peg works that has me worried. It looks like a lot of depth.

[MrJones]

That's funny... I could see having a 1 statue rule for 1/4 though, they are so big!

Yeah, I like this brown Wolvie concept way more than XM's yellow and blue Wolvie (wasn't a big fan of that statue). I'm also digging the Weapon X concept art.

[frenchyoutoo]

Why dont they do something similar to blackbolt or vulture? Have a base where you can reposition wolverine higher / lower /forward or more back? Maybe even off the side??

Just thinking out aloud...

[marker2037]

I find it a bit weird why he would even be standing on that sculpture piece on the roof. He couldn't be running to where he is unless he did some type of front flip over and onto the sculpture. So he's basically in a static, standing position and then leaping down.

[wolf-brother]

....yeah he was crouched there and is leaping into a fight. It's totally badass! :)

It's really all hard to tell for sure in concept form.

[FastballSpecial]

Man I am really looking forward to this one. Lets see it printed soon please XM :D

[Divo]

Wolverine pose is not unlike the XM Venom offering. Guess they dig the flow of the pose, and are milking it for all it's worth. Suits both characters perfectly, so good call XM.

[GrumpyBear]

"Wips on brown wolverine base.... many more to go .... Romell keep up the great sculp..."

[MrJones]

This frightens me. Simply because this may be what I would like as my one Wolverine statue... but I don't believe there is anyway I can afford it for a long time.

[Cali604]

I am getting this one for sure as my one and only Wolverine! Un(fortunately) Weapon X is also looking very nice...it is becoming very tempting, esp with Daniel Bel sculpting it.

I wonder who is sculpting this one? would be cool if its Suheryanto Hatmaja the guy who did Mags, Bats and Classic Ironman
