10" Wolverine Figure

A few months ago, I kept complaining about the new X-Men costume designs; I thought Simone Bianchi’s work was a bit off. I am not a fan of that X badge and Cyclops’ new costume. Wolverine’s costume was, well, not so bad. It wasn’t great. For me, it wasn’t any better than the Astonishing Wolvie costume. The reason why I didn’t outright dismiss Bianchi’s work is because under the right penciller, Bianchi’s Wolverine actually looked pretty goddamned bad ass.

Now, Hasbro is releasing the first Wolverine action figure in that costume:

I don’t know the details about the price, but I’m betting it’d be around the price of the Icons figures, even though this is a 10″ figure, and not 12″.

How do those sleeves not ride up? Are those, like, glued to his arms? Damn it. I like how the boots look like he can do a ton of acrobatic/athletic work in them. The gloves are fine but they could be less rubbery/ringy/textured. Remove the goddamn X badge and put it on his belt, and you’ve got a great costume.

I know a lot of people who would kill for a 6″ version of this. I know I would.
