Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76257 Wolverine Construction Figure, a box of 327 pieces which will be available on the official online store and in LEGO Stores at the retail price of €37.99 from June 1, 2023.

I'm not going to make the suspense last too long, I find this figure loosely inspired by the version of the character seen in the X-Men '97 animated series simply missed. If you have read my review of the figurine delivered in the set 76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure available since May 1st, you already know what I think of the format proposed here.

In use, we come to wonder if the compromise used is in fact unfortunately located between the two sizes ideally suited for these articulated dolls. : it's too big to convince with the many aesthetic shortcuts that probably save some parts to stay in the price range and it's also too small to allow a sufficient level of detail in order not to make these constructions robots rather than humans.

This being said, the problem of this Wolverine is in my opinion elsewhere: it is his head which seems to me really missed. It is not correctly positioned on the torso and it does not really have the shape of a head. And that's without counting on the totally missed detail which would have required very special care: the junction between the ears and the eyes of the character's mask.

We go from a black pad printing to a stack of parts which seems to me not very credible and I do not see how to show indulgence on this level. The intention is there but the execution does not follow and it is the whole appearance of the character which is ruined with this head too big for the torso on which it is fixed and these two very coarse excrescences.

No stickers in this box but we are not going to consider this detail as a favor either, at 38 € the product is intended to be handled until more thirsty by children who are not necessarily always very careful, that's the least we can do .

For the rest, it will be necessary to make do with the various connection points which remain clearly visible, the limited mobility due to the abutment points of the decorative elements placed on the limbs, the claws that are too long and too wide or even the finesse of the size and of the character's abdomen which are far from embodying what we see on screen in the series.

The youngest will perhaps find their account there, they will consider that the character of a good twenty centimeters in height is all the same recognizable and that it offers some playful possibilities. Provided that their parents resign themselves to spending €38 on this derivative product. On the other hand, this wolverine does not deserve the honors of a collector's shelf in my opinion, except perhaps while waiting for a hypothetical high-end bust or a much more accomplished figurine.
