Another Dark Claw fan? I’ve found my people. I’ll take anything. Marvel Legend, McFarlane Toys… Just need it.

He was asked to play Aragorn in Lord of the Rings and turned it down. “The idea of spending two years in New Zealand I couldn't quite contemplate.” Well, at least he’s married to Claire Forlani. Good for him. I’ve felt this sort of “wow” moment a few times; the first time I saw Keaton in the...

“Does it hurt?” “Every time.”

Yep. And he was still best known as a stage singer and dancer. At the time, I knew him from this: He was cast so quickly he didn’t even get a proper chance to muscle up for the role, hence why he’s not nearly as bulked up in some shots compared to others. Yet he nailed the performance right...

[ Twenty-four years later. We went through three Batman actors. Three Spider-Man actors. Three Superman actors. Over 30 MCU projects. And Hugh’s still killing it.

I know, right?

Given how demanded this incarnation of Wolverine was over many, many years, this is one case where I fully believe it’s justified.

I’m such a purist, but I genuinely like the mask and covered arms look for some reason. I’m sure it’ll have enough variety to keep the display options fresh for a very, VERY long time.

You heard it here! It’s an “eye-popping” figure! Mine arrives soon. I’ll be sure to give my impressions. Fingers crossed it arrives damage-free.

You best believe Hot Toys will milk the Insomniac Wolverine game just like Spider-Man. I’ll wait for that. I’m sure they’ll do a brown suit from that too.

Yeah… my wallet is taking a pounding. Deadpool should be unveiled soon too.

Grabbed the Deluxe. The most I’ve ever spent on a Hot Toy, but also the fastest I’ve ever preordered one. I’ve waited 24 damn years for Hugh to wear a comic-inspired Wolverine suit, and this just checks every box. It’s not perfect, but it’s still a slam-dunk in my eyes.

Definitely making hit after hit here. Astounding likenesses.

Who knows what they’ll do in the film? It’s beyond curious we haven’t seen him once with the mask despite all the official merch and promos showing it off. Still, the figure at least is sublime. And I feel an insane amount of petty vindication saying the yellow suit with the mask would look...

Not yet… but I’m prepared for the Deluxe to get a surcharge due to a really great unmasked sculpt, the extra arms, the battle damage parts, and the display variety, along with the notion this is likely a last hurrah for Hugh’s Wolverine that pulls out all the stops. If they can keep the price...
