Up until very recently, it has felt like the X-Men were lying dormant. Right up there alongside Spider-Man for a while during the early 2000s, Marvel's resident mutants have been overlooked for a while due to them not being included in the MCU.

The figure even has a couple of scratches, by design, so whoever it is that has done this to Wolverine is quite something. The Wolverine Pop! has its claws out and one of its arms brandished though, ready to keep going until whatever enemy it's up
