For characters like Wolverine that I really like, I buy 2 of the same figure when masked and unmasked options are available anyway to display both, so this is OK for collectors like me. I've now ordered all Wolverine versions including the brown. Hope to also get an X-force version. I do think it's dirty to not announce both versions of the yellow tiger stripe at the same time so collectors can make an informed decision.
I have the sideshow yellow suit so passed on the Hono masked version. After seeing reviews I was kicking myself. Missed out on the exclusive brown suit as well. Seeing this unmasked version I was straight in to pre-order... But I would not be happy if I ordered the masked Hono version then see this pop up. They knew what they were doing and waited till they shipped the masked versions then announce this so people wouldn't cancel. With the unmasked being released so soon they had it in their back pocket. The figures they make seem to be great, but this will make me more hesitant to pick up Hono figures going forward.
I am a fan of the unmasked hero figure since the days when Mego was doing removable masks in the 70s and Marxx with the Lone Ranger figures... but Hot Toys has set the bar on headsculpts and paint applications... that this one just doesn't hit that high bar level.
I didn’t buy the yellow suit Wolverine because I was waiting for the brown suit. Unfortunately when I was in the queue for the brown suit Wolverine but I was above 4000 in the queue and so I had no chance to get it. And soon afterwards the yellow suit sold out so I was miffed I missed on both of them. For me this gives me the opportunity to buy one. I know a lot of people are upset about this but for me I’m just happy to be able to buy a Hono Wolverine and not pay ridiculous eBay prices.
I won't lie, this announcement gave me a sour taste. Don't get me wrong it does look pretty cool, but the timing and fact that it is the same suit I already have. I will need to wait and see if this is going to be their business model before commiting to pre-ordering more Hono figures. Scummy tactics aside, it is an opportunity for anyone who missed out to get this suit. Especially in this case where we are dealing with a new line and collectors may have been waiting for in-hand reviews before ordering. I was also considering the headsculpt from OSK before this released, but I do prefer the exposed neck look with the headsculpt. If Hono release a casual jeans and leather jacket Logan with the sculpt that would be pretty cool. But who's to say 6 months after they won't release another version with a toothpick or cigar, or a Weapon X version😅 I have the regular, brown-suit and also the deluxe Hot Toys version on order, so that will be my unmasked Wolvie for now.
It could have even been a battle damaged version with the unmasked head. I have the brown suit and will not get this unmasked version or a brown suit unmasked version. I didn't buy the magneto because I wanted an unmasked version so it looks like that will happen. So if you don't get the version you like wait and it will probably get released. This will only hurt the collectors that have fomo or feel the need to complete lines. I'll only buy what I like. I'm sick of the jim lee rogue for example so if they bring that out I'll pass till I get the one I want.
This figure still have the same problems of the original like the G-string, long claws, man boobs. I had cancelled my Magneto Preorder because gonna wait to the possible close mouth, unmasked versions.
Im not a fan of the head sculpt. I don't mind the hair and the paint application... I think the eyes are weird looking and it just doesn't look realistic enough for me.
I think we can expect to see an unhelmeted Magneto announced in the near future..
1000% hah

Makes sense to me!! Thanks for watching !

Great thoughts! They definitely seem to be showing their hand! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel also!!
I think if they did a battle-damaged version and had this headsculpt... I could MAYBE go for that.
Also true! Different enought that it still feels like a different figure! Great call! Customizers probably will do that anyways! Thanks for watching!!
I was pissed about the unmasked HONO, but I love my masked version..but I would buy the head sculpt if sold later down the road…individually of course

Both!
As much as I love the comics, I think I'll go with the Hugh Jackman, yellow and blue instead.
That one's beautiful!! I've got that coming too! Thanks for tuning in and for your thoughts!

Unmasked for me!
Hell ya buddy
Seeing this release murdered my desire to collect this line. It's extremely poor taste for a company to do stuff like this.
Oof murdered is so strong hah thanks for watching and supporting the channel!!
