1. Brandon "The Truth" Vera-
Hey, i know you lost to Randy "The Natural" Cotour earlier but you put up one hell of a match, i agree with you and Joe the fear factor guy..he might have controlled most of the match but you sure owned him in the damage department. Wish you luck in your next fight, be proud..you held your own against a living legend, and Joe's right..that loss does nothing to your career. Looking forward to your next match.2. Manny "the Pacman" Pacquiao -
Brandon held his own against a living legend in MMA, but you are THE living legend in boxing..you just made history by owning seven championships from seven different divisions. What's next for you? Mayweather Jr.? go for it, right now it seems like no one can stop you in the boxing world. Just one word of advice though, don't go into politics..act, sing, do whatever you want..just don't run..they'll just ruin the good that you did..but still, congratulations.I know there are a few undercard Filipino boxers that fought today, whatever the result of the match..you did good and represented the country well..i wish all of you luck in your future matches.
Now, let's get on with the review..
I'll still use the same rating style..though with a little difference..i won't include the extras in the total points..i'll just add it up to the total score..it's going to be bonus points, and instead of being 5, it's just going to be three points..so the revised scores are:
1- Variant Rider - 35/40 (87.5%)
2 - DoFP Rider - 33/40 (82.50%)
this is done so that the figures without any accessories could still have a fighting chance to win..both Riders get a 2 point bonus..
it should be a given as to why i'm going to review the three of them at the same time..they came out within a year or two of each other..
1. Sculpt
- Originality of the sculpt
a. Masked - Used the same sculpt as the Evolution of X Wolverine but cleaned out battle damage and added tons of articulation, proving that articulation doesn't ruin sculpt (5 pts.)
b. Unmasked Variant - Used the same sculpt as the Evolution of X Wolverine but cleaned out battle damage and added tons of articulation, proving that articulation doesn't ruin sculpt, also used a decent head sculpt (5 pts.)
c. Boxset - Came out 10 months after the single carded ones, but featured a better unmasked head (4 pts.)
- Grade of sculpt
a. Masked - Decent amount of articulation but since it was the first Wolverine with this number of articulation, it can be considered as a classic (9 pts.)
b. Unmasked Variant - Decent amount of articulation but since it was the first Wolverine with this number of articulation, it can be considered as a classic (9 pts.)
c. Boxset -Decent amount of articulation but since it was the first Wolverine with this number of articulation, it can be considered as a classic..i don't think 10 months was enough to mass produce an entirely new sculpt (9 pts.)
- Sculpt Extras
a. Masked - very detailed sculpt, great paint and even the black stripes are sculpted and not just painted on..very very detailed, possibly the most detailed ML Wolverine (5 pts.)
b. Unmasked Variant - very detailed sculpt, great paint and even the black stripes are sculpted and not just painted on..very very detailed, possibly the most detailed ML Wolverine (5 pts.)
c. Boxset -exactly the same sculpt as the other two, possesses exact same great sculpt (5 pts.)
- Head Sculpt
a. Masked - You can almost imagine that this is what a real man wearing a Wolverine mask would look like, very detailed mask..and even the smallest details like the eyes are great (5 pts.)
b. Unmasked Variant - Good enough head, though it isn't one of the best unmasked heads around (3 pts.)
c. Boxset -not as good as the masked head but definitely a better unmasked head than it's single card counterpart (4 pts.)
Total:
Masked - 24/25
Unmasked - 22/25
Boxset - 22/25
2. Scale Accuracy
a. Masked - this is where the figure suffers, it is very big compared to Wolverine..it is very noticable when put next to the other 6" figs..this is actually an inch bigger than the correct scale (7 pts.)
b. Unmasked Variant - this is where the figure suffers, it is very big compared to Wolverine..it is very noticable when put next to the other 6" figs..this is actually an inch bigger than the correct scale (7 pts.)
c. Boxset -this is where the figure suffers, it is very big compared to Wolverine..it is very noticable when put next to the other 6" figs..this is actually an inch bigger than the correct scale (7 pts.)
Total:
Masked - 31/35
Unmasked - 29/35
Boxset -29/35
4. The look -
a. Masked - this is where the figure bounces back, this is a mix of realism and comic accurateness..Wolverine is very bulky and hairy..though being to tall still hurts..the great masked head detail helps a lot for this fig (4 pts.)
b. Unmasked Variant - this is where the figure bounces back, this is a mix of realism and comic accurateness..Wolverine is very bulky and hairy..though being to tall still hurts..(3 pts.)
c. Boxset -this is where the figure bounces back, this is a mix of realism and comic accurateness..Wolverine is very bulky and hairy..though being to tall still hurts..(3 pts.)
Total:
Maked - 35/40
Unmasked - 32/40
Boxset - 32/40
bonus:
Masked - Destoyed crates and dead Hand Ninjas everywhere, this is a really good base..there are also a lot different points you can attach Wolverine to (2 bonus points)
Unmasked - Destoyed crates and dead Hand Ninjas everywhere, this is a really good base..there are also a lot different points you can attach Wolverine to (2 bonus points)
Boxset - features a circular X-base just like the other box set X-Men (1 bonus point)
Total:
Masked - 37-40
Unmasked - 35/40
Boxset - 33/40
There you go, The Masked Wolverine really towers over the other two Wolverines..the boxset Wolverine has a better unmasked head but the fact that it came 10 months after and the simple base cost him a few extra points..
Updated rank:
1- ML3 Masked
2T - Variant Riders/ML3 Unmasked
4T- Boxset Unmasked/DoFP Riders
