While I appreciate the detail, I don’t like it enough to buy it. I’m Happy with the Sideshow PF, and don’t feel the need to own both costumes.

What do you guys think of the chrome claws?

could do without them, I prefer a brushed aluminum look but I don't like chrome in general so perhaps im biased. theres a lot of stuff I love about this and enough for me to buy as wolverine is my #1 but it could definitely be improved - VERY EASILY

- lose the ornament at the end of the belt (really this should be obvious, I will cut it off myself if I have to)
- lose the helmet thing on the right side of the base, I have no idea what it is or why its there
- lose the black on the gloves, make them all brown
- change the chrome claws to brushed aluminum / steel (just my personal preference, I think the chrome makes them look like chrome coated plastic)

I saw it in person. The sculpture is great but something about the paint seems off. I just cannot put my finger to it. The chrome appears too glaring under good lighting.

It's hard to judge a statue at those conventions because of all the fluorescent lighting above..

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I like it but I hate the gloves and the belt. Congrats to those getting it but I actually think the SS Brown Wolvie is very underrated and much cheaper to obtain.

One thing that kind of bugs me since I'm buying most of the X-Men statues from XM, is the base of the brown wolverine does not go with the other bases at all... This brown wolverine is more of a stand alone piece.... Which makes me wonder if XM is planning another Wolverine to go with the other X-Men statues.. Even their original Wolverine doesn't go with the new x-men as none of the new bases are sentinel pieces like they were with the OG Wolverine and Green Phoenix.

Honestly, the more I look at it the more this aspect bothers me. They shouldn’t be chrome. Wolverine’s claws have never been that shiny.
