I've done quite a few Marvel Universe reviews and this one isn't much different except I do not like the way two of these figures are made. I picked these guys up online for $19.99 at Hastroboyshop and when they arrived I was disappointed at the elbow and hip joints on Deadpool and Wolverine. The elbow joints are like G.I. Joe elbows and they work on Deadpool. Putting Wolverine in cool poses makes him look weird because of his bulky upper arms. The hip joints are like Ironman 2 toys. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they did this because it's really difficult to get these two to do cool poses. Wolverine also has small feet and is top heavy so he falls over a lot. Overall I'm not too happy about this 3 pack.
Each figure has a lot of articulation:
-Ball jointed head
-Shoulders go in and our and does a 360
-(WARPATH) has a below the shoulder swivel and Deadpool and Wolverine has that weird elbow rotation joint.
-Ball jointed above the abs.
-Ironman two hip joints for Wolvie and Deadpool while Warpath has balljointed hips.
-Double jointed knees
-Ball jointed ankles that can move up and down.
Deadpool is standard Marvel Unvierse height. He's the same height as a Spider-Man figure.
Deadpool came with a badly warped left leg.
A little hair dryer action fixed it though.
Deadpool comes with two katanas.
Warpath is taller than the average MU figure.
Comes with two bowie knives.
Wolverine looks cool and is the shortest in the pack. I read before that Wolverine is only supposed to be like five foot, two inches tall and it wasn't until the live action movies did they start to change it up making him super tall.
I like how they did this for the claws. It mean's they won't be warped into a weird shape one claw won't be all bend in a different direction compared to the others.
Overall if you're going to play with the 3 pack don't get this. The joints alone are frustrating and they don't bend smoothly. I'm going to be posing them but I wish I had some stands for them. Wolverine is using my Hulkbuster Ironman armor stand mainly because he has a hard time.
COLLECTORS: If you loved the newer X-Force then definitely pick these guys up. Unless you're going to play with them then I recommend getting something else to play with. Right now I think the only member of this pack still in X-Force is Deadpool so that's a bummer.
PARENTS: Your child will probably be frustrated by Wolverine and Deadpool's elbow and hip joints so buy them something else for $19.99
