- Hand-painted detailing including realistic hair sculpt and painted body hair on chest, arms, and legs
- Two interchangeable head sculpts: a stoic samurai-style and a snarling classic Wolverine face
- Seven interchangeable hands (fists, clawed fists, sword holding, posing hand)
- Two katanas (one long, one short) with sheaths that fit neatly into the belt
- Red scarf with integrated posing wire for dynamic display options

Cons
- Paint mismatch between neck and chest skin tones noticeable
- Minor paint sloppiness on white socks and some hairline edges
- Butterfly shoulder joints offer limited range and can restrict some arm poses
- Scarcity and exclusivity limit availability; figure was a NYCC exclusive with limited webstore stock
- Snarling head sculpt’s mouth paint and teeth look unnatural and detract from overall quality
- Thin plastic blades on katanas and claws require careful handling to avoid damage
- Sandal-style footwear can make standing the figure slightly unstable without display stand support
