This year is a great year for new Wolverine figures in Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line, and they offered a great selection of versions of him and some characters packed in that we haven’t gotten yet. One of which is this Wolverine and Psylocke figure sets, and this is surely one memorable sets. Psylocke / Lady Mandarin is certainly the winner of this 2-pack as we have not gotten this yet, which is inspired from her appearance in Marvel Comics. Betsy Braddock as Psylocke is inhabiting the body of the assassin Kwannon and is now going by the name of Lady Mandarin.
Thank you to BigBadToyStore for sending along Hasbro’s Marvel Legends Wolverine 50th Anniversary – Wolverine and Psylocke figure set for review.
Availability: May 2024
Wolverine and Psylocke are packaged in a window box, with artwork and logo’s, comic book artwork on the back as well as a description.
Wolverine comes in a black outfit with a red belt, with the belt loose around his waist. The arms are bare with painted hair, and the claws are articulated.
His head sculpts both look great and each are given a different facial expression. The hair is sculpted with a blue wash around the front.
Wolverine includes two sets of interchangeable hands (clawed and closed clawed), and two head sculpts. Both hands also have the claw holders on the front.
His articulation includes a bal jointed head and hinged neck, swivel-hinged and butterfly shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ab crunch, swivel waist, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, doubled-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles.
This is a version of Psylocke that you never thought you’d see in Marvel Legends, and it was a good move on Hasbro’s part to offer something different such as this compared to what they’re done several times over. Psylocke appears to be an all-new tooling and she is just very impressive looking. She comes in her dark blue outfit, and metallic silver armor with a black wash, and a long cape that that is placed over her torso and is sculpted in a fixed position as if it’s being blown by the wind.
She includes two head sculpts each with a different expression, a mask and purple hair with a wash. The sinister Lady Mandarin grin facial expression is obviously the winner here, which makes her look more visually appealing in this costume.
Her articulation includes a bal jointed head and hinged neck, swivel-hinged shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, bal jointed torso, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, doubled-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles.
She includes a pair of energy effects, as well as her psychic knife effect. The energy effects clip onto her wrists and stay on pretty well.
Overall, Wolverine and Psylocke are two excellent figures and great additions to this years new Wolverine line-up. Don’t let 2024 pass by without picking up this 2-pack as well as the other new offerings. Make sure to grab this set now at BigBadToyStore.
