Wolverine 4-Packs: Battling the Brotherhood

[X-Fan]

Post your reviews of the Battling the Brotherhood 4-Pack from Wolverine 4-packs here.

Um blob is of course the only redeeming factor here. Iceman is also cool. But colossus ......Come on! They could have redone the one from the x-men 4 pack. That figure is like an ancient first trial and error figure that looks completely awkward. Wolverine is the same way. They should have repainted in one of these sets either of the ones with his brown suit with his yellow suit.

Wolverine is a repaint of the unmasked one sent with the sentinel. The face is slightly better but I hate this figure. D-

Colossus is the best paint version of this sculpt. I still don't like the fact that his legs don't have the lines. The blueish paint and non-shiny suit is nice. Best version of this figure but that's not saying much. D+

Iceman is awesome. I love the paint more than the original version. He's fun and frosty. A good, solid figure. B

Blob is the only new sculpt in the set. He's hollow and has 2ish POA, the arms. His fat prevents his head from moving but it can, kinda. I like how the Blob is big and flabby without being disgusting. A great representation of the character, I don't know how it could be made any better. A

Overall, you're buying this pack for the Blob if you get it. Iceman is nice too, but Colossus and Wolverine are wastes.

Blob is a neat, fun and all-new figure. He has one of the most instantly recognizable shapes among all SHS figures. My only complaint is that he's almost too unique to the point where he doesn't look or feel like part of the SHS line. Particularly, he's made of hard plastic compared to the softer, malleable plastic of everyone else. You can tell just by looking because he is so shiny. Nevertheless I like this figure a lot, and I'm pretty impressed that he has any articulation at all. His open hand could probably be used to hold another figure ala Colossus/Wolverine fastball. A-.

I had never actually removed the Wolverine from my Sentinel pack, so this was the first time I closely observed this figure. He's actually not so bad. His face is much improved from the sentinel version. I like that his arms are long and bent. This allows a fair degree of versatility. I even almost considered keeping this figure. In the end, I put him in the ebay pile because having three Wolverine figures is already plenty, and I like those three much more than this one. C.

I like this Iceman much more than the Pyro-pack version. I've always preferred a fully iced Bobby. There are some flecks of blue highlighting the top of his icey head. I like this figure so much that I'll probably keep just this one and the Beast version as my two iceman figs. My only complaint is the lack of articulation. B+.

I thought long and hard about whether to keep this Colossus or the Angel pack version. Although the four-pack Colossus is much better regardless, I still want to make sure I keep the best version of this Colossus figure. In the end I decided to get rid of this one and keep the Angel one. At first, I thought perhaps the dark tone might make more sense on this angry version of Colossus but I just couldn't get over my conception of Colossus as bright and shiny, not dark and tanned. C+.

This set gets an A just based on the sweet Blob figure and the Iceman figure I have wanted since he was first released as the half ice, half Bobby Drake figure.

Wolverine
This Wolverine feels odd to me. His face is what seems very odd. Wolverine face is tan. Wolverine never got a tan in the comics. Other than his costume and claws are fine. B

Blob
Blob's face seems pretty awkward. Well at least they made Blob fat. The face needs a little work though. A-

Iceman
Iceman is cool. Best one yet. A+

Colossus
Colossus still has the same Galactic Hero. And I really hate the tan. C-

[jestergoblin]

It feels like a cop-out to call this set the Battle of the Brotherhood and only include the Blob, but he did show up in the movie so it makes sense to include it. Unlike the Mr. Sinister Set or Apocalypse pack that had worthwhile repaints, Colossus and Wolverine just feel cheap. Had they included the fastball special version of the pair with new paint, it would be a lot better. At least Bobby is a fine repaint.

I think this pack is cool but what would of made it better is if it wasn't another Wolverine and Colossus packed with Iced up Bobby and Blob!

If it's battling the BROTHERHOOD it should have atleast 2 brotherhood mutants.
Anyways,to the review
Wolverine is slightly better than the first version of the sculpt,but still bad,D
Colossus is the same as wolvey but it gets a C- cause of the better paint
Iceman,Beyond awesome,Nuff said,A
Blob,Face is odd,but still is a good representation of the blob,A
Pack overall:Probably somewhere near a B cause of the blob and iceman
I recommend this pack if you have none of these characters but if you just want the blob and iceman,go to Ebay
