Hasbro Marvel Legends December 2023 Fan-Stream Coverage - X-Men 97 And More

Looking at the Wolverine/Lilandra 2-pack really has me hoping they release an updated yellow and brown Wolverine. I'm not usually an in-box collector but I regret missing out on the retro carded Wolverine they came out with a few years back. I really can't see them not redoing this figure given the focus they've put on Wolverine so consider my fingers crossed.

I want to like this Wolverine...hell, I did when it was first shown, but the more pics I see, the less I like...

I like the Lilandra in this set a lot, but for some odd reason I think that the Brood-Wolverine in this set seems.......somewhat held back. I don't recall exactly what his brood-morphing looked all like, but my brain thinks his anatomy should maybe be more....distorted.

Shown below via sb_toyz are in-hand images for the new Marvel Legends Wolverine 50th Anniversary Brood Wolverine And Shiar Lilandra 2-Pack from Hasbro.You can purchase this set from our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth with a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Lol. I've tried as well. I guess it should have been easy enough for Hasbro to make them compatible as they said many times straight out that the Vulcan was the Bucky Cap replacement but why would they make it that easy for us to switch out a head sculpt and make a good enough head swapped character when they can have us buy an entirely new figure to get that updated model. Sad thing is I can't really disagree with their logic from a business standpoint.

Im disappointed because I wanted to swap the custom head from my old Buckycap Cyclops on to the new one.

It will be neat to see if the Archangel wings and head work on this figure. I think he occasionally wore this costume as Archangel. Or the blue one.

I doubt the head. I've tried putting other Buckycap heads on Vulcan bodies and they sit a little too high. You might get away with it for photos at certain angles but that is probably it sadly.

Can. Not. Wait!

And bring on those repaints. I'll get em too. One of my favorite characters. I hate how unused he's been lately.

He'll be featured in an upcoming Giant Size X-Men, if that helps.

Also, I miss the days of ToyBiz variants. I still have my Sentinel Series blue Angel (heehee...blue angel) and think it's the superior Angel costume.
