The design for this figure comes from the 1992 redesign of Wolverine by artist, Jim Lee in the X-Men Vol 2, #41 comic. This design was then used by the 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series2 TV show. The larger black wings on the head-sculpt mask, larger blue shoulder pads, and rectangular red "X" belt buckle are all hallmarks of the 1992 design that set it apart.

The 1992 design was in turn heavily inspired by the 1975 "Classic Yellow" or "Tiger Stripe" design by artist, Gil Kane, for Wolverine in the Giant-Size X-
Men #15 comic. Supposedly, Gil Kane had mis-drawn the mask for the cover when re-creating the original debut design of the suit, but artist, Dave Cockrum liked it enough to redraw all the comic pages of the issue to match. The leather belt buckle accessory is from the 1975 and 1974 designs, but the 1975 design in the comics had smaller blue shoulder pads and smaller black wings on the mask, which more closely match the version of the mask in Mezco's SDCC Tiger Stripe figure. Another distinction between this figure's 1992 likeness compared to the 1975 design is that the earlier costume had skin-colored sleeves, while the later design removed the sleeves, revealing his arm hair, as can be seen in this Mezco figure.

This figure also includes bone claw hands, which were first introduced in the 1993's Fatal Attractions9 crossover involving Wolverine Vol 2, #7510 and X-Men Vol 2, #25, when Magneto ripped the Adamantium from Wolverine's body, which revealed that he had been born with bone claws before being infused with Adamantium. These bone claw hands make the figure pretty accurate to the 1994 design of Wolverine which kept the same overall 1992 costume design.

The two small-wing mask head-sculpts are from the original yellow costume from Wolverine's 1974 debut in The Incredible Hulk #18012 comic. This mask had very small black wings, a black nose, and black whiskers drawn on the mask. This design also had very small blue shoulder pads not reflected in the figure.
