The new pics look perfect. Can't wait to get this and see it up close.

They do usually put up a blog announcing the updated pics. Most of the time it's probably put up after the pics are updated, but I think everyone noticed the gallery update before the blog this time.

I find it so odd that they would send Kelvin that ----ty unapproved Wolverine to display in his retail store, when it really looks nothing like these new pics

Wouldn't you want retailers (especially those with actual store fronts) to have what buyers are actually getting instead of a sloppy, unapproved piece?

Hope so ...especially since I already have the EX on order.

Not that it matters all that much, but it wasn't for his store, it was for a show. I think Kelvin took some pics of it (and the the video he posted) at his store before or after the show.

Yup, exactly!

Hoping they put up the blog today or tomorrow and confirm that these are indeed the production pics.

Still has the rosy cheeks though it is a little less obvious in these pics. I’d wager that these pics will be up on the blog today.

Some people really need to have more trust in SideShow... this "#leangate" was unnecessary drama...

With more competition and SideShow becoming more successful which is made obvious by them having their own collection and the sell out of Thanos, its awesome to see the hobby scaling up rather than fizzing out. I've also noticed it being more socially accepted by non-collectors to see them and actually want one.

Looking forward to this X-Men line from SideShow...

It's warranted. Sideshow historically doesn't change much if anything after the proto is shown.

They've been more flexible over the last 6-months with listening to the community when we spot major issues (Magneto, Wolverine). If we didn't sing this loudly, we might be getting an unnatural leaning Wolverine.
