An exclusive figure, this awesome masked Wolverine is the latest addition to Marvel Select’s awesome line.
Standing about 8 inches tall, his brown costume is a more muted (and more awesome?) version of the stark yellow and black outfit we’re used to seeing. He comes with a sweet figure stand and a Samurai base that makes us all the more excited for the upcoming Wolverine-in-Japan film, The Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman bares his claws — and some incredibly ripped abs — in this first official image from The Wolverine.
The movie, a follow-up to Jackman’s 2010 flick X-Men Origins: Wolverine, went off the rails temporarily in the wake of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster. The film’s original director — Black Swan auteur Darren Aronofsky, who teamed with Jackson on artsy time-travel picture The Fountain — quit around the same time as the earthquake-induced meltdown.
New helmer James Mangold (I Walk the Line) then took over production of The Wolverine, which is currently filming in Japan. In the sequel, alpha mutant Logan, having spent his solo movie traipsing around North America, finds himself in Japan unsheathing his adamantium claws to shred battalions of samurai warriors. The story, scripted by The Usual Suspects writer Christopher McQuarrie and Mark Bomback, is based on a 1982 Marvel Comics adventure.
The Wolverine, which includes Will Yun Lee as the Silver Samurai and Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper, is slated to open July 26, 2013.

News flash from the internet….
Article by Todd Brown from Twitch.
It’s been a busy couple days for James Mangold who directed The Wolverine. Just a couple days ago word began to circulate that Will Yun Lee, Brian Tee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Rila Fukushima and Tao Okamoto were joining the cast. That flurry of action covered the Japanese characters in the story but left some key spots to fill.
And now a big one has dropped. Twitch has learned that Jessica Biel has been offered the role of Viper, a complex character who at one point was a peer of Logan’s as well as an enemy. She was a major player in criminal organization Hydra and, in one story arc, blackmailed Logan / Wolverine into marrying her. This could be interesting.
There is a great online article by Earnst Cavalli. You can read more at Digital Trends. One of the best selling Marvel Select figures we carry in our shop is the Classic Yellow Wolverine costume.

The new 17-inch WOLVERINE statue from Sideshow Collectibles is a stunning example of the kind of work the Sideshow folks are capable of. Not only does this thing stand tall, but Logan is clad in a real fabric costume that gives a brilliant sense of realism on top of such a dynamic pose. The nod to his Canadian heritage in the form of a red maple leaf? That just makes it even better. Check it out in our Marvel Sideshow section!
And for Wolverine fans, there’s some more good news. Which, unfortunately, becomes kind of bittersweet news if you’re a Hugh Jackman fan in general. Here’s the info from MovieWeb:
Hugh Jackman has reportedly turned down an offer to host the 83rd annual Academy Awards due to his prior commitments filming the upcoming sequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2.
The Academy Awards will be held on February 27th next year. Jackman and director Darren Aronofsky will be gearing up to leave for location shoots in New York and Japan at that time, with X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 beginning its principle photography at the beginning of March.
Jackman, who hosted the 81st Academy Awards in 2009, proved to be quite popular, and was expected back for 2011′s ceremony, as he told producers that he wanted to skip a year before returning. Now it seems we’ll have to wait another year before seeing Hugh take the stage at the famed Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
Oscar hosts are normally announced by November 3rd. Deadline, who first reported on Jackman’s recent decline to host the awards ceremonies, speculate that we will see a host announced very soon. And that the choice might be quite surprising…
Justin Bieber, anyone?
And on that slightly scary note, here are the links to click if you’re looking to grab the first Wolverine film on DVD or Blu-Ray!

We’re being spoiled for Sideshow Comiquettes! Two new ones have arrived: The X-Force Diorama and the Silver Surfer statue. Here’s a look at both!
Warpath, Wolfsbane, Wolverine, and X-23 are united in X-Force, Cable’s crack mutant team. Wearing their signature, darkly-toned outfits, they stand at the ready, prepared to face some unseen foe. The whole thing is about 14 inches tall and features a sculpted base beneath the four figures. And if that’s not enough, it also boasts a changeable Wolverine so that he can appear with or without his mask.
Next up, we’ve got Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer. I’ve always found him a tough character to like because even at his best, he tends to give off a very dated 80s vibe that I just can’t get into. But I have to say that when he’s done well, he’s done well and this is one of those times where they’ve managed to make him look very cool. He stands a whopping 24 inches tall and boasts a few special features:
* Three switch-out heads with alternate expressions
* Two sets of switch-out arms, including one set with arms extended and one set with arms extended wielding the power cosmic
* One additional arm with fist pose

We’ve just gotten the new masked Deadpool figure from Marvel Select and it looks great. I’ve always preferred the 8-inch figures to the 6-inch models and this is a great example of the kind of awesome sculpting and high detail you can get from those extra two inches.
Meanwhile, there doesn’t seem to be much action on the Deadpool movie front. After his appearance as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds was signed on to star in a full-length film about the hero. But as we wait for developments on that front, Reynolds is also set to play a popular DC hero: The Green Lantern. Two heroes who couldn’t be more different and they’re united by the same actor; what must that be like for ‘em?
Well, over on Youtube, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy explains:

Two Marvel posts in a row! I don’t know if this will really do anything to balance my obvious DC-bias (Batman for life!, but here it is anyway.
The cute-ified versions of your favourite Marvel Universe heroes and villains have added to their number with the first wave of brand new figures for 2010.
Iron Man and M.O.D.O.K., Spiral and Wolverine, Captain America and…a motorcyle! Those are the six little figures included in this series, whose success has been especially impressive to me, as I dared to doubt Wolverine fans’ appreciation for all things super-cute…not that Hugh Jackman isn’t occasionally adorable…
Although that’s totally not the point of this post, I swear! In fact, here’s a link to our Superhero Squad section over at CmdStore and a pic of one of the new figures that’s just found its way onto our shelves!

There’s SOME good news for X-Men fans from The Scorecard Review! After the disaster that was X-Men 3: The Last Stand and the fan-infuriating X-Men Origins: Wolverine, there’s definitely a bad taste in the mouth of any moviegoers with even a cursory knowledge of or affection for Marvel’s most popular band of heroes. But after leaving the franchise to film the failed Superman Returns movie, Bryan Singer is coming back to Marvel. Hopefully, he’ll inject some new life into a failing series.
Here’s the story.
X-Men and X2 director Bryan Singer is set to helm another movie about the mutant superheroes. Entitled X-Men: First Class, the film will show the beginnings of Xavier and Magneto, with them as friendly twenty-somethings.
“This is the formative years of [the characters], and the formation of the school and where the relationship took a wrong turn,” said Singer. “There is a romantic element, and some of the mutants from X-Men will figure into the plot, though I don’t want to say which ones. There will be a lot of mutants and a great villain.”
“Whether it’s ‘Batman,’ ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘Star Trek,’ if the characters are good, you want to see them on their journey even if you know their destiny,” said Singer. “I put myself in the fan’s position, and I think this story is something I would want to see, and so will they.”
Singer got the job after Twentieth Century Fox liked a detailed treatment he had written for them. Jamie Moss has been hired to write the script. The studio is said to be moving “aggressively” with the project.
With the success of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Twentieth Century Fox has been optioning with more “beginning” films of the characters, including one on villain Magneto. An “Origins” movie for character Deadpool (to be played by Ryan Reynolds) is now in the works.
Traditionalist or not, if you’re a fan of X-Men and also a collector of the figures, check out our collection right here, in CmdStore’s X-Men section! Everything from Marvel Legends to Mighty Muggs and more!
