@miraclemen Amazon US?

Only reason myself, and I am sure others, did not order from Amazon, is because it was not offered...

not sure this was ever the link, but there's some 3rd party sellers at amazon with the lilandra set (i ended up getting mine from Gamestop) : https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-MVL-Legends-FC-ANV/dp/B0CH1NVRY7/

Man, you guys are really having me second guess myself here. I remember it being there because I always reference my browse history as my "buy list" and it was always there and I had every one of the 2 packs together.  I only ended up POing Sabretooth. It was there after it sold out, and I remember having regret not POing it, and only recently has it disappeared, but that's common after a month or so on Amazon's browse history and/or whenever I place my order I manually remove from history. So I can't screen shot it. 

Anyway, so I went to camelx3 to look at amazon's history and you guys are actually right, Amazon proper never sold it, but 3rd party did and for retail price on Mar 27, 2024. Maybe that was what I was looking at.

Unrelated to anything you posted, but since you are similarly XCU-oriented, 5ktoys has a DOFP knockoff Wolverine.

The Youtube video has various shots of him, since the preorder page blocks it out.

@jtmarsh Wow! Yeah, I'll be picking that up for sure! Thank you! (also, since we used to converse quite a bit in pm on the old fwoosh forums, I'm on facebook if you want to add me, link in profile) Are there any other 1/12 Fox DoFP 3rd party figures these days? Really would like to get a Storm, Blink, and better versions of Iceman and Quicksilver. Edit: looks there is another 3rd party figure also from DOFP of Wolverine with casual clothing (maybe with bone claws since they both look to be knock offs of Hot Toys Wolverine DOFP figures? hard to tell for certain on the preorder page) https://5ktoys.com/products/preorder-nwtoys-1-12-nw003-iron-warrior-action-figure?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=ad8e0e4cc&pr_rec_pid=8188303900889&pr_ref_pid=8182744416473&pr_seq=uniform

I got the Wolverine/Sabretooth set in last month and forgot to post about it.

I don't think I'm keeping Wolverine, but Sabretooth is fantastic. It's my first figure on this base body, and I'm blown away. The only downside is it doesn't work for a ton of characters.

While I prefer Creed's first-appearance costume, I don't think I'll ever replace this figure. He's big, sturdy, and hits subtle and expressive poses with ease. Great work from the Legends team.

@jtmarsh I found the guy who designed the armor looks like for that DOFP suit for Wolverine on instagram. He's got a Bishop DOFP head, Professor X hoverchair and lots of other neat stuff in his shop. I believe its all unpainted. https://www.instagram.com/3dm_customs/

...Out of honest curiosity,  was there ever any "canonical" explanation for Sabes going from 6-footish to what looks like 7 or 8 feet tall?? Was it later augmentation,  secondary evolution,  or...? 

 

He was drinking milk, so he could grow up big and strong. 😆

He's got some good variety with his sculpts, his Metal Gear Solid Snake / TMNT / Brendan Fraser "The Mummy" sculpts are all pretty good too.  I think we're likely going to be hit by the XCU bus this summer if the original XCU X-Men make appearances in Deadpool/Wolverine it'll just be another shot at Marsden Cyclops and the rest of the core team that Hasbro may be able to justify once the core Deadpool wave is through.  Plus I think we're closing in on 25 years since X-Men 1 (2000), so maybe that'll justify some more XCU figures from Hasbro.

His Punisher Warzone stuff is pretty nice too.

I have a POL that I am eager to pull the trigger on and ship but I'm patiently, patiently waiting for that second round of Wolverine/Sabertooth sets.  I preordered right away but I still must have missed the first round.  It says it's coming in May......time's a runnin' out.  I'm pretty confident that Sabertooth is going to be as good as the hype says it is.

With the exception of the Sabretooth set, these are on sale for Prime Day at Amazon. In the $40-45 range.

Really glad I waited on the Wolverine 2-packs (except for Sabretooth). I was glad to get a bit of a deal on all of them.

I'm tempted to get the Logan/Psylocke one but I'm gonna wait and see what else they put up in a couple hours first.

Logan/Psylocke was only 15% off.  I bit on Zemo/Zola and Patch/Fixit at 20% off.

That's another reason I'm still on the fence.

I decided to get the 5 pack with pretty boy and vertigo since it was a much better deal. But I did end up finding Astonishing Wolverine at Target today. They had 4, and they all had sloppy paint. I thought we were passed this. I grabbed the one with the best paint and touched up the places that needed it. Hes... fine. I'm not sure I like this new mold. His arms are a bit large, and long. The shoulder pads are cool. And the new articulation is nice. Pretty good claws since they are the movie ones. But, he also has holes in his crotch above the legs so you can see his abs through his crotch piece. It looks weird. Like, are they really that cheap now? To not even fill out the outer body if you can't always see the spot? And his head is rather large. The face is really good though. Also doesn't have calf swivels, even though the boots are a seperate piece. I think I like the old body better. But maybe it'll grow on me.
