Anyway mine arrived. Its nice. The EX head doesnt fit that snug. I dunno if I'll call about it. Need to think on it.

I think it was listed originally at about 18 inches. And while yes it was changed to 15.5, it was changed quite a while ago. It's not like it was last week or something.

it was discussed on the boards. This pose at 20" would have been out of scale. Still, some folks were less than pleased to hear the actual height is 15.5'. Actually, when I measured it I got 15", so there goes another half inch.

awesome piece and the scale is perfect at 15" with that pose. Love that custom gambit as well, they look perfect together!

good luck! I grabbed one earlier this year. They rarely come up for sale and there's only ~60 of them but if you can find one it's killer!

Thanks! Think I might have one secured at the moment. We'll see.

I look at this Wolverine and can't understand why multiple company products can't exist in a collection to some.

All companies make amazing statues and also some less than stellar ones...but at the end of the day...the skill of all these sculptors and painters and artists are amazing.

Even some of the panned statues amongst collectors are still well done even though it may not suit some tastes.

Btw...for a blue and yellow version Wolvie...this is done pretty well. Pose is solid, the portrait is pretty strong. I just hate the blue and yellow costume.

I will say I do like the heads better on the original yellow PF EX. These arent bad. In fact they are very good. But I think the OG ones edge them out. ANd the OG metal claws are still waayyy better. But I do like the massive stylized claws in this one.

In terms of the size. Yes it could have been changed a while back but I know it still said 20 inches a good 2 months after I ordered it because I checked.

I actually LOVED the base when I took it out of the box. Holy cow this is a step up from normal SS bases IMO. THe sad thing is when you put him on it its less impressive. The color is pretty much the same as his blue.

I really wish they would have given the guy with blue boots and gloves the purple sentinel base and the guy with purple cape and boots the blue sentinel. Wolverines feet blend right in.....

Just got this bad-boy in today! FLAWLESS!! BRAVO SIDESHOW! This is deff a 10/10! I knew that Raf Grassetti (art director for the recent God of War game) did the sculpt and had Martin Canale assist with the face. This was a deadly combo and i would love to see Sideshow have them collaborate and do another X-Men piece! I'd also like to see Raf do a 1/4 scale God of War statue! Very happy i bought this piece!!

p.s-pictures really DO NOT do the statues justice! This piece completely captures THE WOLVERINE!
