Brown and yellow are close to the colors of a Wolverine, which in fact is an earthy animal. Wolverine's are ferocious little animals that are dark in color.

More than anything though...the color scheme has just been done to death. I'd rather see Wolvie in his black costume or maybe something else...pink and green...anything but yellow and blue. It's driving me nuts and I cant' escape it.
You do realize that yellow he wears with the blue suit is almost identical to the yellow with the brown suit, and since when is yellow and blue some sort of effeminate color scheme?

The extra portrait being the EX is a big deal I think for this piece.

Also, the paint job on the unmasked portrait is amazing.... I'm worried though, too amazing for production is likely. I mean, good grief, look at that skin tone and texture....

I’m not sure why some people have such an issue with the blue. Blue was his 1st appearance, and what he wore in the iconic 90s TV show. Everyone always wants a Jim Lee line, and Lee preferred the blue. I like both, even though the blue was more prominent while I was growing up. I guess the Brown makes more sense from a realism standpoint, many superhero costumes would make more sense with different colours, that’s not the point.

In response to the first bold text...I am a fan of every company. Hell, there are some things from each company that are just as impressive as anything other companies have done.

Sagat 1:3 from PCS is just as impressive than ANYTHING SS has done. Prime 1 Serpentor is just as impressive as anything SS has done. I could go on and on...even to the 1:6 Hot Toys figures and beyond. It's more the AD that lures me to other companies outside of SS because they take strides to push the industry forward and keep advancing.

But all artists and sculptors in all these companies from XM to SS to PCS and Prime 1 have the top talent in the world. There is so much product on the market from all these companies that it is overwhelming. I can't keep up...

Agree with everything here, the brown Wolverine would be about perfect if the head sculpts were more to this new PF's style imo. But I've always been more fond of the blue Wolverine, I guess it boils down what you grew up with(90s cartoon for me).

I agree. Susan's comments during the SS Live footage made it sound like the masked portrait is gonna be the EX. This is one of those times when a statue shouldn't have an EX but come with COH standard.

After seeing him in person I think I may be in. He looked great. One of my favorites at the show.

I just realized Spider mans color scheme is all wrong.

Loric has made me a believer. Looking forward to XM’s naturalistic Brown and fuzzy costumed Spider-Man. Also, their upcoming Phoenix with natural plumage. Should be epic.
