Project: Wolverine 2
I know I promised to upload the pics of the customized Wolverine. But I got sidetracked due to *amai tangan* and ending up misplacing the parts I needed to finish that project. So I decided to work on another Wolverine figure.
This time around its from the M.L. Apocalypse series. Specifically, the unmasked Wolverine variant.

Tools Needed:
- Drill
- Metal file
- Super Glue
- Bobby Pins
- Cutters
- Wolverine Figure(obviously)
- Sandpaper or hobby tool
I opted for silver bobby pins with a sort of 'serrated' look on one side. I decided on this because its a custom job and its mine. So there, no more questions. Hahaha. I will try to use sail needles in the future.
Other than that steps are quite simple.
Cut the rubber claws. Then use it as a measurement for cutting the length of the bobby pins. Use the cutter to shape the edge of the bobby pins and be careful. It will fly off in every direction. You can use the cutter to shape the edge of the bobby pins. Then use the metal file to sharpen it.
Use the sandpaper to smooth the cut area on the hand. Then drill 3 holes making sure the spacing are far apart.
Old vs. New
And you're done. You can also use those big paper clips if you don't want it sharp/dangerous and you're just going looking for an alternative to the boring soft rubber claws.
This isn't the best customized Wolverine out there. I've seen better by other people on the net.. But at the very least it looks much more dangerous as it should be. Also the M.L. Series III Wolverine would've been better. But I'm happy with it and I know Spidey will also appreciate these pics. What do you think?
Aside from all that, I was thrilled when I managed to get the whole set last year. For today its just Circe. The inscription at the back of the box: 
With all that red/violet hair she looks like an anime character doesn't she?
Back of the package:
Whatever the reason was, lame or not, it WORKS. As a fan I couldn't care less if they released this figure as one of the Fantastic Four's best friend. Honestly, as long as they get it out on to the shelves.
I'm sure the head is a new sculpt because I don't remember seeing a figure with a more unpleasant disposition. Showing off his pearly whites, the big man is also wearing another mask underneath his *ehem* removable helmet. It kinda looks like a cross between a football helmet and a wrestling mask. Nice. I still would've prefer it without the mask but the new look is starting to grow on me. Just a small problem with it. Take a look at the side view above. At the back of his head it looks as if a chunk of it is missing. Sacrificed sculpt for articulation?
By no means would I call this figure average in size. It is larger than the other figures in the Spidey line and does measure up to your average M.L. figures. Still, side by side with the Juggernaut of M.L. he could pass off as the teenage version.
