(More customer reviews)I don't usually say this, but this is one of the best Wolverine figures to come along in a while. I'm usually one of those people who complain about all the Wolverine figures that come out in the Marvel Legends series. This one is special because of the accessory/display stand. The actual figure itself is something we have seen before. It's a different head sculpt, but it's the same body sculpt that was used for the Weapon X Wolverine in Marvel Legends Series 7 and the Logan figure from the short-lived X-Men Classics series. Which is fine because the articulation is excellent, the details are cool, and the joints are very tight and quite seamless. The paint job is good, too. I'm not too crazy about the choice of colors they used (green pants?? Eww.), but it's still good. His claws come in pretty good condition. They come out of the box fairly straight. I'm a real stickler for that when it comes to Wolverine figures. They could be a little longer, but at least they are kind of straight. He is also the right scale for the character. Every fan knows that Wolverine is a short guy and this figure compares nicely to the other figures in the Marvel Legends line-not too tall, not too short. The real selling point for me was his motorcycle and his jacket. They are awesome!! His jacket is made out of a very pliable rubber and fits the figure perfectly. It looks and feels like a bomber jacket and it can be removed if you choose to do that. Be careful putting it back on, though--his claws get in the way. The nice thing about this jacket is that it doesn't restrict the figure's arm movements very much at all and it just looks really nice in many of the poses you choose. It really adds a lot to the figure! The motorcycle is the icing on the cake. The figure fits on it very well and it looks very realistic. The one thing I don't like about it is that they used way too much rust-colored paint to make it look dirty and weathered. All the chrome pieces would have looked better if they had just left them chrome or silver. The cycle is also a display stand if you choose to hang it from the wall. The bad news is that the hole is on the bottom of the bike, so it looks like he's driving straight up or down the wall. The best way to display it is on a hard, flat surface. There's a little kickstand that will help hold up the bike. If you remove the screw that holds the kickstand, you'll have a nice motorcycle for Wolverine to cruise on. You can even fit other Marvel Legends figures on the cycle...and they fit pretty well, too. The figure comes with a copy of classic X-Men #141 which begins one of the X-Men's best stories, "Days of Future Past". There is a variant of this figure available where Wolverine is in a black jacket, blue pants, a hat, and the cycle is all cleaned up. It's definitely worth getting if you can find it. In the end, this figure is an example of where ToyBiz takes a good figure and makes it better. It is well stocked-as Wolverine figures are-so getting one will be easy. I highly recommend this one.

Little is known of his past, save that it was fraught with pain and loss. Long ago, he trained as a samurai in Japan: later, he became Weapon X, an operative for the Canadian government. Today, Logan is an X-Man - using his animal-keen senses, healing factor and razor sharp claws to help protect a world that fears and hates mutants!
