I've reviewed both these figures before and combining them as the two figures doesn't give this set any benefits.
Wolverine is the Fastball Special version and doesn't work well without Colossus, he's also a straight repack from the Wolverine Origins Apocalypse Pack. The face is great but I really dislike the complete lack of neck. C-
Sabretooth brings nothing new to the table since the Uncanny X-Men 4 pack either. A straight repack again, I would prefer a Jim Lee era Victor at this point, standing on two legs! C-
The Danger Room is the main reason anyone would buy this set and it fits the theme of the characters packed with it: disappointing and below average. Looking at this set, pretty much nothing about it says "Danger Room" to me - or X-men for that. Minimal paint applications, and you have to put the stickers on yourself. So exciting. The gun is removable and can be put in two places. Even as a display piece, this set does nothing for me. It looks like some random techno crap but I can see how a child would like this - this set is not for collectors. At least there are foot pegs all over it for figures. C-
For $20, you're paying $13 for the playset and $7 for two disappointing figures. Not the best representation of this line.

I love the Danger Room playset and my 2 year old daughter is having a lot of fun playing with it. Plenty of movable parts (sentinel crane, blaster turret, and the trap door) and lots of pegs to pose your characters all around. The fact that it folds up for easy storage makes my wife happy as well.
Can't really recommend this on the merit of the figures, unless you want to run a Danger Room scenario where they spar with an army of Wolverines. I completely agree with Jestergoblin about Sabretooth: we need a different mold!
