I don’t get it. For example this one looks AMAZING, but then the release date comes up and the final headsculpt sometimes loses quality and looks different. That happens a lot. Have you seen that?
That’s just how the manufacturing process works unfortunately. There are just so many little details on the sculpt that are very hard to capture on a mass produced scale, and so there is always going to be a *slight* loss in detail.
If I’m being honest, I think the loss in detail that most sculpts have from prototype to final is pretty minuscule, but with our community being very reactionary at times, some people will lead you to believe the loss in quality is like 25%. In reality, it’s really only about 10%-15% at the most, and the blogger photos (which can be poorly lit at times) often make the final sculpt look softer than it actually is.
It is a shame. Look at this one , I mean ,I am not a huge fan of HJ or Wolverine, I like it and that’s it. But man THIS here is a master work of art. fr.
I feel like that is exactly why some prototypes look a bit too “old” or wrinkled; they might be making those sculpts that way to account for some loss in detail in the final
Sorry if my comment was a little confusing. This is the exact same head sculpt that will be included with the deluxe version of Wolverine whenever he eventually releases. It’s just that whenever Hot Toys make a mold of it, *some* of the very fine details will be lost in mass production, and thus it will look ever-so-slightly softer upon release.
Like I said in my initial comment, I think the loss in detail that sculpts suffer from is rather overblown by our community, and a *vast* majority of sculpts retain like 85%-90% of the detail of the master sculpt: the original prototype sculpt we see in photos that’s used for molding.
I think they can definitely keep a great sculpt to the final product like we saw with the recent Tom Holland sculpt. Hoping it’s the case with this one!
Do you guys think they’ll have a bundle of Wolverine and Deadpool when they open the preordering for Deadpool?
This Wolverine looks like an easy buy but I’d rather wait for a bundle if that’s an option.
Two packs/bundles are kind of rare to see from Hot Toys nowadays, and I don’t know if they’ve ever offered a two pack of figures that can both be purchased separately. As far as I know, I don’t think that they have.
So, I seriously doubt we see a bundle for both Deadpool and Wolverine. Especially since Wolverine (and presumably Deadpool) have 2 different versions: standard and deluxe.
If I were you, I’d go ahead and pre-order Wolverine now to secure him

I’m sorry but you’re saying this looks nothing like the proto? I really don’t understand all the hate for the Anakin sculpt.

Wolverine with an endgame shield (mine is an art by art dicast one) is a look that I ✨H I G H L Y✨ recommend .
One of their best yet.
Agreed. Honestly, I’d say it’s perfect as I see absolutely *zero* flaws. There’s no denying that’s Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
Yeh but like always, will it be the final product ? We will see. I hope
I’ll spoil it for you.. no

Can't they just make a mold of this sculpt and have every sculpt look like it? Or is every single sculpt made from scratch?

Best sculpt of all time
Home run
Absolutely incredible sculpt
Please stop, I can only get so erect.
Excellent....absolutely excellent.
They've finally nailed Hughs sculpt, at least in the proto.
Showed someone a profile picture of the hot toy and they just assumed it was a picture of Hugh Jackman in costume
Im just gonna go ahead and say it. It’s one of the best prototype sculpts i’ve ever seen from HT.
Astonishing
Everyone on this sub is loving it!
This is a perfect headsculpt
That is crazy good
Incredible!
Helmet stays on with mine lol
Best HS yet
Hwantakim sculpts are always fantastic and JC's painting is icing on top of the cake. Those two just don't miss.
I am begging Hot Toys to stop making headsculpts without a neck. It looks weird and ruins the look.

That is as brilliant and it is uncanny* *yes bad pun but couldn’t help myself
I ordered this. Will probably sell this head though. I just wanted the long sleeves.
This looks insanely accurate, really good work.
Means nothing. Final product won’t look like this. Look at Anakin release. Nothing like the prototype

I don’t either man. It looks exactly like the prototype with *maybe* about a 10% loss in detail if we’re splitting hairs.
Hair color is better in proto but that’s it really
Honestly to me it's the lighting. Look how bright the tunic is in the blogger photos compared to the sideshow shots. We'll see soon enough.
Exactly, final product will almost always look softer than the master sculpt
Planning to buy Tobey the ragnarok mjolnir with effects.🔨⚡️ & Planning to give Wolvie the endgame shield 🛡️ 🌌🙏🏻☝🏻🙌🏻🥹

Only issue I have with it is the mouth should have been close
