This is his classic 80s costume from when he took over as the leader of the X-Men, and from the Wolverine Origins comics. The reason for the red sword is that it is his Muramasa Sword which was forged for him by the legendary Japanese sword maker Muramasa himself. He made it with a piece of Wolverine's soul and told him that it was a weapon that could kill even Wolverine. Wolverine has used it to destroy a Shiva robot, and he even beheaded Sabretooth with it.
As you can see he is extremely poseable for a 3.75" or 1:18 scale action figure even able to pull off the signature crossed claws stance, and many other poses with out the use of any stabalzing devices such as stands. My only gripe is how the hips are articulated. You can get some very natural poses but you have to swivel the hip join into some very unnatural positions to get to the natural poses. So he can stand on his own 2 feet but how does he measure up scale wise to his fellow 3.75" & 1:18 scale figures?
Compared to the DCU figure of Batman who is 3.75" scale he seems taller than the 5'7" stature of Wolverine however when you compare him to the 1:18 scale GI Joes, Marvel Universe, The old Marvel Legends Showdown figures, and the Sgt Slaughter from the WWE Build N Brawl series he appears to be just about 5'7" tall.
So here's how I rate him:
packaging: 5/5
articulation:4/5
scale: 5/5
