The Marvel Retro line continues! So far, Diamond
Select Toys and EMCE Toys have resurrected the classic Mego figures of
Spider-Man and Captain America, neither of which have been produced
since the early 1980s. Now, those two legendary
toys are joined by a Mego-style figure that has never ever been made!
Retro Wolverine is in stores now, and it marks Wolverine’s first
appearance in the 8-inch scale!
Despite making his debut in 1974, and gaining
popularity after joining the X-Men in 1975, Wolverine didn’t get an
action figure until 1984, after Mego closed its doors. So in order to
re-create what an 8-inch, cloth-costume Mego action
figure of the mutant would look like, EMCE and DST looked at other toys
of that era, and created their own! The 1970s-style Wolverine action
figure wears his classic blue-and-yellow costume, which is fully
removable, including a removable mask. Once you take
off that costume, you can dress him up in his brown costume or his
civilian togs!
Wolverine’s Logan accessories include a bomber
jacket, jeans, tank-top, boots, clawed hands and a unique unmasked head
sculpt. Wolverine’s brown costume comes with a sculpted masked head and
open and closed claw hands. The set includes
a vintage-style window box for the classic Wolverine figure, as well as
a booklet about the history of Wolverine in comics and toys, all
packaged in a displayable gift tray.
