Picked this up on clernse at my local Gamestop for about 6 bucks.I've been wanting an updated Captain America figure so this was good find for me.I'll have pics later on tonight or tomorrow.Stay tuned!
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from Daredevil to Deathlok.
I usually don't do bootleg action figures, especially after my bad Spiderman Legends experience. That guy ultimately ended up in the trash. I took the chance on this CT Toys Wolverine figure on the strength of YouTube and positive eBay reviews. Glad I did! CT Toys ( MAFEX) hits different. The character specific colored box art and design are displayed prominently on all sides of the packaging and has the look and feel of an oversized NES video game. If that makes any sense. The overall presentation screams 80's Marc Silvestri. You get a lot here. Three sets of hands ( including attached set) , two head sculpts, hanging removed cowl and a display stand. It's pretty insane. Also,You won't have to worry about bruised fingertips or adversely bending your action figure when extracting.Wolverine and contents can be removed and replaced easily due to the loose fitting plastic figure and accessory...
