Marvel Universe Variant Play Arts Kai Wolverine

Posted on January 20, 2017 at 8:06 am by Joe Moore under Marvel Toy News

Square Enix has opened up pre-orders for their new Marvel Universe Variant Play Arts Kai Wolverine. We’ve seen the Wolverine figure at a few different conventions last year, and it may be one of the best Marvel Variant figures Square Enix has done so far. It includes a display stand, interchangeable portraits, extra hands and more. Here are the details:

Armed with sharp claws made of adamantium, the hardest metal in the world, and a healing factor that allows for superhuman recovery, X-Men hero Wolverine enters the Marvel Variant Series!
Painstaking attention to textural detail can be seen in this Wolverine’s costume and burly physique, from the hard surfaces of the armor, to the organic feel of the skin, down to the bulging veins in his arms.

Shadows are painted in to highlight the molded features, while the paint, chipped here and there off his armor, hints at the many battles in his past. In addition to the interchangeable hands and head, a Japanese katana adds to the variety of poseable actions.

Figure includes display stand.

The Wolverine Figure is scheduled for release in July. It is priced at $149.99. Read on for the new photos.

    That's typical Play Arts Kai proportion though. It's not for everyone.

    I'm looking forward to adding him to my Play Arts Kai Avengers lineup!

    I love some of these figures but the stands are absolute crap. My Captain America one requires you to assemble with extremely small plastic pieces that are not sized correctly.

    The outfit is basically an armored suit. Considering Wolverine has a healing factor I don't know why he would even bother with that. The screws in the back of the shirt are a bit strange. I'll never understand why PAK puts all the shading in the paint either. Lighting can take care of that for you. That said, he is sculpted well. A little too busy for me, but I'd buy him if I collected the Marvel line. I think an unmasked head would've be a nice touch.

    I would actually buy this if their price wasn't absolutely ridiculous. $150 is just waaaay too much.

    Man, the MU Variant figures are all so aesthetically busy. It's like visual white noise looking at these guys. I've liked a scant couple of them (Venom, for instance) but as a whole they're just overdesigned messes to me.

    But that's just my opinion, and I know there's people who like them, so glad you guys are getting these things.

    Looks pretty amazing, but not 150 amazing.

    The license to produce wolverine merch must be more expensive than normal because every high end wolverine figure costs a ton without providing much in the way of accessories, this fig is 150 and the spread of accessories is at least decent, but the sideshow wolvie is a whopping 250 and even a few years ago the Hot Toys DOFP wolverine was 250 and if only came with a few interchangeable hands.

    These are tempting to collect, these are basically ML size though right? The style is totally cool.

    Taller than ML, so they won't fit that scale. These are 10" each.

    Man I'd love to get this but I don't think I've got an extra $150 to spare.

    in that one crouching shot, wolverine's arm looks like a mass of tumors.

    I remember when play arts kai figures were $60... Solid Snake.
    Then $80... Still will get it...

    now $150? Calm down Play Arts Kai this price point is getting out of control

    *edit - marvel select juggernaut was and still is $20

    Sixty dollars? I remember when they were TWENTY dollars...



    And that was retail...

    Play Arts prices are getting silly. I have the Variant Spider-Man and Venom and they are both really cool...although I picked up each of those at comic conventions where prices tend to run higher than your average retailer. I still only paid about 80 bucks for each despite that. A buck fifty is just nonsense...
