Wolverine Black & Red with Steel Claws (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:1701
Name:Wolverine Black & Red with Steel Claws
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:Buzzy_Fret  
Date Added:February 4, 2007
Base Figure:Wolverine / Apocalypse Series
Height:6.00 inches
The idea for this custom Wolverine was sparked by a couple black and red scheme Wolverine Customs that were submitted by others in the past. I always thought the yellow/black/blue for Wolverine's costume was a strange choice. The tan/brown/black I thought was even worse. I'm not sure what color real wolverines are but I'm sure it ain't yellow and blue.
Along with the black and red paint I took my first stab at steel claws. I had to do a bit of a repair job on the right claw covers with some Fixit Sculpt as my Dremel drill poked through the back. I ended up repainting the flesh on his arms as well - Citadel Dwarf Flesh base and then dry brushed Elf Flesh. Overall I'm very happy with the end result. Critique away!

Thanx guys! Maybe it's a good thing that it takes me a month to finish one custom job.

I actually did consider doing that. I just thought that much red would overpower the black.
Thank y'all for the comments!

Seriously? That makes no sense then! Why would he wear bright colors if he's a secret agent!
Oh well...the red looks cool though

Well he's had the yellow and blue since before he was ever on a team when he 1st appeared in The Hulk.
He's supposed to have been a secret agent / assassin / super weapon - ya'd think his costume might be a bit more on the covert side.
I'm glad you guys like this version though - thanx!

Grew up reading back issues so I grew up with the brown.

I always liked the brown suit. Seemed more suiting to a "natural" guy like Logan. Blue yellow was alright too though. This looks really good too!

Great paint! Super smooth!
They had to make Wolverine blue/yellow to match the team colors. I guess I like that suit because that's the one I grew up watching. I don't like the brown suit at all :P
