Mix media is a nightmare to keep clean and deteriorates over time . Once the fabric starts to come apart it’s toast . That’s why I don’t like it

That's only with the faux leather mixed media. My first Hulk PF has mixed media jeans and no problem at all with it. I hope for a similar quality on Logan. I even would have preferred a fabric shirt.

i get people not liking mixed media because they just dont like the way it looks or whatever but dont get the doll argument though. personally i like it in the right applications, hellboy and gambits coat look better in person than anything sculpted could have imo

Personal preference, but I think the sculpted coat on XM's Gambit looks much better than that huge wrinkly fabric coat the PF has (I used to own it).
I also think a sculpted coat would have looked much better on both Rogue's over that cheap pleathery crap.

That's because it's less of an argument and more of a pejorative, meant to rile some of us up.

I have the first maquette, and the pants are holding up just fine...

Denim is a fabric in particular that I haven't seen a good sculpted/painted solution yet.
Any examples? Not trying to start something, just genuinely haven't seen it.

People always post that fabric deteriorates and the majority of my 1/4 statues (over 100) have fabric, including OG Hulk, OG Thor, OG Cap A (decade old pieces) and none are deteriorating.
I've seen only a handful (2, maybe 3) pics of fabric cracking on faux leather (as Equinox said) and how many statues with fabric are there?
The argument about fabric deterioration has no justification.

I just feel like people calling it “Doll clothes” are just insecure about their collection around normies who live with or visit them. At the end of the day, to them your collection is a waste of money and just a bunch of “Dolls” sitting around collecting dust. Also, I agree with sonic that the faux leather on these will decay much faster than the fabric used on say Bane or Hulk. Take a make up brush to these things and turn your nose up to the haters.
On topic though, this Logan PF is cool. I just wish we could get away from the Hugh Jackman look. Logan always had a cool bomber jacket, or some sort of cowboy hat that he would wear from time to time as well. I dunno, just mix it up a little! Exclusive better not be muramasa blade either.

I actually like the fabric on this wolverine.
And think when fabric is done right it does give another level of realism to a statue.
Sometimes too much skulpt comes off a little too much like a Neca to me
But everyone has their own taste.
Either way....suck it Sideshow !
Price better not be crap. They've been on one hell of a streak this year
