Don't think so. This is an actual comic story. XM just made their's up.

I need to see all of this from various points because the pose looks strange on his right side. And also his torso position doesn't seem great with this leg position.

Is this Canale?
It is.

I'm not a fan of these forced perspective bases, but the building is the only thing that really makes it FP, and at least it's hidden if you look at the statue head-on. Aside from that it has a cool look (mixed media notwithstanding).

You guys can thank all the dozen custom Samurai Wolverines being pumped out, so Sideshow had to respond accordingly to capitalize on those statues. I guess like batman, Wolverine will have yearly releases.

Looks decent, but i'm not the kind of collector that has many statue multiples for those who do congrats.

I still looking for the last members of the gold/blue teams

Beast/Iceman/Bishop/Archangel and Jubilee

Then any still need a new Apocalypse and other undone X-villains

Really like this piece. However, I can't get past the position of his arms and hands. The way he's holding his sword and the claw hand just seem off.

Looking forward to the force perspective base of a new Iron Man with a tiny stark tower in the background to make it feel like he's flying.

Sigh.

1. This is kinda cool and not at the same time. But it feels like “we just need a new Wolverine because Wolverine, so just make something cool up.”

2. Why not do an X-Force Wolverine instead? That would seem like a better sell.

3. Who is to blame for the persistence of forced perspective? The art director? At this point it’s like they’re deliberately saying “how can we get forced perspective in there?” when it’s completely unnecessary.
