McFarlane Toys Wolverine 1:10th Scale Posed Figure Inspired by X-men #1 Cover

I'm trying to find out if a spider man#1 McFarlane homage is coming out. I collect this cover and would love to grab the signed gold label of it does

Is this making anyone else want to go buy some beef jerky?

The printed-on cross-hatching does not work AT ALL....it looks like stitches.Cross-hatching is a concession in inking, to denote tones, contours and textures on a 2D paper plane with black and white linework. It is completely redundant with an actual 3 dimensional form,These would actually work better either cell-shaded, or with the cross-hatching muted to another complimentary colour.Disney used to do this trick in animation, where the lines on the characters were not just straight black, but different colours to slightly soften different outlines. Instead of black, they'd use a strong chocolate brown , or a deeper blue outlining a more sky blue etc. It ends up being less garish than just black.

I was looking forward to possibly building the X-Men #1 cover starting with that Wolverine. That texturing just completely changed my mind.

Wolverine's costume looks like that because the dark brown is leather and the yellow is textured spandex looks f***ing awesome as He** man can't wait

I'm not sure where you're getting that from; leather wouldn't look like and Wolverine's outfit never did. A smooth satin finish would probably make more sense. If the scaly cracked yellow there is supposed to represent "textured spandex" why doesn't Spider-Man's spandex look like that too?

...why's he scaly?

God this whole line of statues makes me just so happy that Todd doesn't have the license to actually produce Marvel figures. For all ML's flaws, I would take them any day over DC Multiverse stuff.

I don't think that's a likelihood. Between his penchant for statues and his first love of Marvel something tells me this is a place where he wishes he'd been in 20 years ago. On the other hand I think Marvel/Disney has a very specific expectation for ML that I really don't think McFarlane has the desire or capability to attain. God could you imagine a line up of 90 percent Spider-Man figures and a few other characters peppered in the mix every once in a while?

These McFarlane statues are really doing it for me! The Deadpool and Spiderman ones in particular look so cool. Would love to see some fully articulated figures with this aesthetic!

I'm surprised....but this Iron Man looks pretty good!

There is listings for Magneto coming also from X-Men #1 so my guess is those will end up all connecting to re-create the gatefold cover to that issue.
