Anytime brother. I'm humbled by the mention. Kudos all around, especially to those who answered the call and Koto for listening. We did it!

It is basically the same concept we just improved a few things.

I love what I see, Erick. So glad you didn't reinvent the wheel but refined what came before. The X-Force Wolverine's more upright stance - which I was unfairly critical of in the past (sorry!) - captures the leader aspect nicely. This one is pure berserker rage and it looks so good! Can't wait to see the masked portrait.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Since I start collecting I was waiting for the perfect wolverine. As much as I love Bowen Designs, they never nailed the Wolverine charakter for me. They are all nice, but I wanted pure rage.
I omitted the yellow from Koto cause as many here I wanted the brown version.

I agree! Koto will make the paint app perfect this time! They must! We've been waiting years for this!

It's great to see people in such high spirits. It feels like we've won a revolution or something.

I actually like the X belt buckle in this wolverine. Most wolverines out on the market right now have classic belt buckles, especially from Bowen. I think only one was made with the X belt buckle and that was an exclusive. Together with the Kotobukiya Yellow Wolverine, only 2 1/6th statues of Wolverine have the X belt buckle, and none of them are in Brown Costume.
I think it's about time we give a brown costume Wolverine the X belt buckle.

The X belt buckle is also more accurate to Jim Lee's art, which has been the primary inspiration for this line.
