Yes, SS used it on the their GL PF. Translucent resin was also used on the Punisher PF and Newmar Catwoman PF. Punisher was many years ago too, so not new.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

BUSINESSES adapt, change , grow or die. It is a great thing that sideshow is experimenting with "new" things and methods of production.

Is it really? I mean Thanos on a throne was supposed to launch a new era for them it’s a disaster with all breaks and redos of parts that need replacing. They can’t get normal poly stone right why bother. They charge same money for a piece like Thanos as XM but give you crap quality. This Wolverine was over priced big time but I like the pose so I bit. We will see quality it will be my last SS if it’s poor. Gone are the late 2000s era of master sculpts by this company it shows unfortunately because I hold those old pieces in way higher regards than what’s coming now. My two cents

So, this has gone low because of SS type-o, regarding size/dimensions? Great sculpt all the same, and now in proper scale. But a part of me really wanted that “oversized” Wolverine, scale be damned.

Same. I still want this piece no doubt. I don't mind my heros being a little over scaled. I still love my Batman PF.

Guys, need help.

I just saw on Sideshow that he is now 15.5 inches. I made a screenshot when I pre-ordered him, he was 20 ! Resellers have not update the size, I think i was crazy but no.

What happened ? Something I totally miss ? I don't find any relatives comments on this thread, perhaps I'm not looking right.

Thanks, just did. I think I have nothing to expect from Sideshow but wow, I pre-ordered a 21" (I was thinking the base was rework to make the statue taller) statue and now getting a 15.5".

I have to find a solution like a stand or it will look odd in my collection.

it was always 1/4 scale, someone messed up when they put the order page up

not the first time its happened, apocalypse looked like he was "1/5 scale" when he went up according to the size chart same with the modern age thor. not sure where the 20" came from on wolverine though, both those pieces were shown with the ex switch out which was raised above their head but listed at the regular height which was shorter
