Review: LEGO Marvel 76250 Wolverine's Adamantium Claws

Today we are very quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76250 Wolverine's Adamantium Claws, a box of 596 pieces available since August 1, 2023 at the retail price of €74.99.

This new "hand" joins the current collection at LEGO already made up of references 76191 Infinity Gauntlet et 76223 Nano Gauntlet and this one is probably not the most flamboyant of the three. But all assiduous collectors know that each collection needs its extras to create a group effect and highlight the most beautiful pieces.

It is therefore a question here of assembling the hand of Wolverine in X-Men '97 version, the animated series of the 90s which will be relaunched soon on the Disney + platform. Wolverine wears a yellow outfit and blue gloves without patterns, so the object takes this uniform hue and adds three claws with metallic accents.

Nothing new concerning the process of assembling the hand, the designer is content to take up the usual recipe, base included, with an assortment of colored pieces stacked inside the structure on which we then place the different elements of finishing.

Nothing to say about the general look of the construction, the fingers are well executed and they can take different poses depending on your mood at the time. The claws can be easily removed although I don't really see the point of doing without this emblematic attribute of the character.

The color of the glove being uniform, one quickly notices the aesthetic defects of the various parts which dress the surface of the construction. Molding marks, various and varied scratches, you must not be too demanding and observe the whole thing from a certain distance. I note a good effort of uniformity on the metallic color of the parts used on the edge of the three claws, it seems to me that LEGO has progressed on this point.

The entire surface of the model is well covered with blue and only the Ball joint gray of the thumb joint which is noticeable depending on the angles and orientation of the finger.

As for the red and blue pins, some will see in the use of these gray or black parts whatever the subject treated a "signature" of the brand where others are still waiting for the manufacturer to produce these parts in the necessary colors. their perfect integration into the constructions concerned.

The base is as usual flanked by a small plate presenting the LEGO logo as well as the logo of the universe concerned, it is perfectly matched with the other pieces of this collection.

Was it absolutely necessary to market a LEGO-style interpretation of Wolverine's claws? I think so, as the subject lends itself to a LEGO version, even if the glove delivered here necessarily lacks a bit of fantasy due to the reference costume. This derivative product is not the sexiest of the catalog but the contract seems to me all the same largely fulfilled.

The fact remains that it is far too expensive for a simple monochrome model of less than 600 pieces and that in my opinion it would be prudent to wait to afford this window background figure at a much higher price. acceptable elsewhere than at LEGO.
