For once OnCC's pics don't look any worse than the HT proto shots!

He looks like an angry leperchaun in this pic.
How dare you. None of my leprechaun friends look like that!

Beast was near perfect in FC and Azazel was such a visually unique badass character he'd be awesome as a fig
You guys will be eating your words when HT starts producing the rest of the X-Men. I would have never bought Hawkeye as a stand alone figure. I only did because I intend on collecting the entire group. As most of us will agree have done. Many of you will do the same when it comes to this guy too. I'm taking notes.

Won't even need that. As soon as in hand photos show up people will be scrambling to get him. Exactly like the last one.

Not with "The Wolverine" coming soon after.
We shall see.

I'm not so sure. It's not like he's a must have piece that you'd want unless your a wolverine or X-men fan. Especially since a lot of folk will already have either the XO or their own custom.
The general feeling around the board seems to be that these things are just starting to become too expensive and I don't think this rendition of wolverine is a must have to the general collector or the type of people like me who don't particularly collect lines but just cool looking pieces or great head sculpts.
Also Rzeznikk does make a good point about the new movie.
There's so much stuff (too much!) coming out and also and inflated prices that I think maybe people passing will become more common.
Even as a massive Wolverine fan, if I missed out it wouldn't bother me in the way it bothers me when I see how much Blade goes for now!
I think you're 100% right on all your points. My take is that he will look more attractive once they begin producing the other X-Men figures. We can all agree that each of the Avengers figures aren't perfect and even questionable as seperate buys. But they look fantastic as a whole group.

Absolutely right. Unfortunately 95% of their licenses don't get a whole group.
They've done 2/5 of SP with only three figures to go and despite the benefit of better individual sales when customers are assured of a whole set / team they don't look likely to bother.
Imagine how less Hawkeye would sell if there was no Cap & Hulk & BW.

I love the X-men! 10 x more than the Avengers. At least with most X fans they have been around for a long time unlike a lot of these new Avengers fans that probably have never picked up a Thor or Hawkeye comic in their life! 
As for the set, yes that does make it more attractive. I guess we have to wait and see. If they could somehow make the original X-men in their original outfits (not leather), they would sell like crazy. Not that I don't like the leather, I just think the figures would look more impressive in the original format.
I'd buy every one in a heart beat (and sell everything else
)

I'm actually pretty obsessed with this figure, seems I look at the pictures at least once a day
If there isn't a bunch i'm interested in over the next few months i think i'll be getting this.
Yes they would.
I might not have bought the Hulk were it for me not wanting the entire team. BW will be my first female figure. Not a big fan of joints, but even as much a I liked HE in the movie, he still would not have been purchase.
My feeling is HT knows this now and will definitely jump on it.
I am getting this Wolverine, because I currently don't have one and I know I'll be mad at myself for not getting it if they produce the rest of the team.
