Summary
Depicts Wolverine as a samurai from Marvel's "5 Ronin" series, featuring two distinct portraits—one stern and samurai-styled, the other wild and snarling—and a tailored outfit with Japanese-inspired design elements. Includes multiple hands, two katanas with sheaths, and a poseable red scarf, supporting dynamic samurai and Wolverine poses. The figure stands out for its detailed sculpting, especially the realistic hair and skin texture, and retains articulation often reduced in similar releases.
Pros
- Two highly detailed, unique portraits: one stern samurai style and one snarling Wolverine look
- Impressive hair and skin texture detailing for a 6 1/4” figure
- Retains double-jointed elbows and knees, plus ball neck with jaw and torso joints for enhanced articulation
- Billowy pants allow deep stances with feet flat on the ground, even with geta sandals
- Accessory set includes five extra hands, two swords with sheaths, a wire-edged red scarf, and a versatile display stand
- Outfit designed as almost one piece for better fit, with tacked belt and sheaths for katana placement
- Packaging features exclusive design with Wolverine claws breaking through Japanese-style screen and collector-friendly trays
Cons
- Paint shows minor inconsistencies around hairline and white socks edges
- Thin, fragile plastic blades on swords and claws require careful handling
- Slightly loose fit around shoulders and neck on the outfit
- Exclusive release, limiting availability and driving price above average
- Scarf accessory not particularly appealing or functional for all users
