I have both of these in my PoL. I also preordered the SHF ones. I'm leaning towards keeping both Legends and the SHF Deadpool, but I might drop the SHF Wolverine. It's really bothering me that it one comes with sleeves and a masked head when he never looked like that in the film. I'd prefer sleeveless all around, but at least the Legends one comes with the unmasked portrait. I'd be shocked if Hasbro didn't come back sometime next year with another Wolverine and probably more of the metaverse Deadpools so I think we'll get the sleeveless version at some point, but it would be cool if I could count on Bandai to do that for some added variety.

Got Wolverine and Colossus yesterday. Both are really nice. The unmasked Wolverine head is one of the best likenesses I think we've gotten in a while. Shame I'll be keeping the mask on. I don't even know what to call the texture on his suit, or what it is about it, but I always like when figures have that texture/feel to them. It feels deluxe, you know? A step up from the smooth plastic we're so used to. I also really like the claws; Wolverine claws are always a bit iffy quality-wise, but these feel nice and sturdy. I'm glad they gave swappable hands versus removable claws; the latter always makes them wiggle around too much.

Colossus is really nice too. I'd seen some folks say their legs were warped, but mine ended up fine. He feels appropriately shiny and appropriately big. The book was a cute touch they didn't have to include. Kept trying to think of where his legs are from, and I think they're old Drax legs, but I'm still not 100%. Anywho, I'm glad to finally have him. Helps the core cast feel a bit more complete.

Now to hunker down for a year or two until the next wave comes out!

I know you're 'joking', and accurate, but... the Cap 4 stuff ought to be at least be shown soonish, right?

@joshsquash729 I didn't look that closely at mine, but I don't think those legs from Colossus are reused previously, even if scaled up. I think he's an all new sculpt. I think he's a great figure, but the head sits just a bit too low on the neck for me, and I think his open hands are a little too big/long. I was going to put him in my display and noticed Negasonic Teenage Warhead isn't in the display already. Gotta figure out why!

The whole Colossus figure is new - no question.

People are starting to mod their Wolverines from this set to be sleeveless. Incredibly, the gauntlets are a separate piece, which means an official sleeveless version is a no brainer. 

Some people are using GI Joe (Tomax or Xamot) arms, and those who had the forethought to buy extra are using the Legacy Tank Top Wolverine arms. I actually have an extra casual Thor from the Love and Thunder wave - just need to verify the arms are the same as the Wolverine release.

Interesting that they did the mcfarlane style shoulders for Colossus, wonder if we'll see that more? 

Wish he had the diaphragm joint reverse ab crunch combo we've been seeing more of lately as well. Other than that, fun figure. Great sculpt and the paint is great. Hoping they give us a brand new comic Colossus soon.

I got DP3 Wolverine and DP in along w/ DP1&2 Colossus.  Colossus is alright, more of a shelf presence than anything.  Wolverine I'd rather had sleeveless arms but with the paldrons on his shoulder hinge like Astonishing Wolverine.  As it stands he just looks like he's wearing pajamas.  DP3 is alright, very red and cleaned up looking.  I tend to prefer the maroon-ish suit just because it looks more "lived in" rather than looking like it came from a costume store.  Also received plain clothes Logan, though may just be returning that as Headpool isn't a necessity and the figure he comes with really is just redundant.  Should have just made an unmasked weathered Deadpool or Cassandra Nova instead.  I'd even take a Blind Al over mopey Wolverine.

Got the DP&W figures from Pulse today. The stiff thin-lipped look is too mild for Logan. Would like to have seen some gritted teeth, especially in the mask. The yellow suit gives him proportions that echo John Romita Jr’s art in the Enemy of the State arc. Civilian gear looks a little too civilian. Like he’s dressed as your next door neighbor. Deadpool himself is wonderful. I think he’s pretty perfect.

I want all the legacy characters. Blade, Elektra, Gambit, and Laura. Laura and Blade especially. My TB Blade broke a long time ago and I never got around to fixing him, and the coat is disintegrating. And we never did get a Laura, and some of the customs I see make me sad we didn't.

My colossus arrived and the ab crunch barely moves and goes back to neutral. Anyone else able to confirm I got a dud? Does yours have a functional ab crunch?

@thwiptster mine clicks and sticks properly. Doesn’t add a lot since it only pops forward or back one click anyways.

I like the shoulders on Colossus better than I have on McFarlane DC Multiverse figures. They don’t feel like they’re going to pop out or get loose, and they’re countersunk well so there isn’t just a weird ball shape to the armpits. They are a lot like the McF shoulders in that they barely add any motion to the arms. 

Really nice figure for Colossus and I’m glad he didn’t get left behind. Sorta crazy we got a Negasonic Teenage Warhead first.

It is but it was an easy figure. Most of it was reuse of the teen body. New head and belt. So it was simple for them to do. Colossus required a new mold.

@thwiptster When I read your comment I was thinking mine was the same, but wanted to confirm before commenting.  Your description is exactly how mine is as well.

Now if only I could get a splash of diabetes, I'd be all set  😉   I say this as I'm sucking down a large Reeces' Ice Cap.

Now that I have these in hand - I really love them both. Unfortunately the Thor arms don't work well on Wolverine, and I have no interest in modding the Legacy Logan arms - so I'm left waiting for an inevitable official release from Hasbro. Please, please do not make it a multi-pack. I want to buy a few. 

The legs don't bother me at all in person either. Deadpool is also a really nice figure, it just doesn't benefit form the last movie Deadpool sculpt being so strong. It's hard to top that one, and for that reason people will be a bit more critical of this guy. The color is a bit bright and the costume is lacking special details like damage or slight bunching - but's it's still really nice.

Got Colossus. I don't collect movie figures generally, but I'll buy any figure of Colossus that gets made.

The shoulder set up is new, and I've seen people say this is similar to how McFarlane does their butterflies. It doesn't feel like it gets better lateral range of motion with this setup. Are they supposed move vertically as well? Mine have a slight motion but it's hard to tell for sure. It doesn't seem like an obvious improvement over butterflies to me, but I'm always happy for them to experiment with new articulation.

Speaking of new articulation - the torso articulation is weak, and I'm very ready for ML to standardize better torso artic across the board. The crunch barely moves and the waist cut is ugly. Balljoint waist + thoracic joints are such an improvement, but I'd also be happy with the crunch + diaphragm joint set up that they've been using. Any brand new figure with this outdated torso movement - especially when it barely functions - is a bit of a disappointment.

I do love his size and sculpt, though. Makes me want to see a figure of the Russian using this lower half.
