Hey there, fellow toy enthusiasts! Today, I’ve got some exciting toy news to share about a figure that’s bound to make you go “SNIKT!” – the Brown Suit Wolverine by HONŌ STUDIO and Hot Toys.
The Brown Suit’s History
Now, Wolverine fans, we all know the yellow and blue costume is a classic, but there’s something undeniably cool about his brown and yellow suit. This outfit first made its debut in “The Uncanny X-Men #139” and quickly became a fan favourite. And guess what? HONŌ STUDIO has nailed it with their new 1/6 scale figure.
Features and Details
This limited edition piece (only 1,500 units) stands tall at 11.1 inches and features a whopping 28 points of articulation. Whether you’re posing him mid-battle or just looking tough on your shelf, this Wolverine figure is as dynamic as they come. And the details – oh, the details! From the swappable lower faces (four to choose from) to the metallic white claw effects, this figure is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship HONŌ STUDIO is known for.

But wait, there’s more! Our clawed friend also comes with the iconic red Muramasa blade, adding an extra layer of badassery. And let’s not forget the custom display stand, adorned with Marvel Comics artwork, making this figure not just a toy but a piece of art.
Comparison to the First Wolverine Figure
For those who remember the first Wolverine figure from HONŌ STUDIO, decked out in vibrant yellow and metallic blue with animalistic stripes, this new release is a fantastic companion piece. That original figure set a high bar with its multiple points of articulation and impressive costume design, and the Brown Suit version keeps that legacy alive.
As a collector who’s seen quite a few Wolverine figures in my time, I must say, this one is a standout. The brown suit, often associated with Wolverine’s grittier and more intense storylines, adds a depth that the classic costume sometimes lacks. It’s like having a piece of comic book history right in your hands.
If you’re a fan of Wolverine or just love collecting high-quality figures, this one’s a must-have. Keep an eye out on Sideshow Collectibles, as pre-orders are expected to go live soon, priced around $160.
