wolverine picture meme wolverine picture memeIf you spend any time on the internet, you’ve undoubtedly seen the “Sad Wolverine” meme. In the 90’s Fox Kids’ X-Men the Animated Series, Wolverine pines after Jean Grey, who is in a relationship with Scott Summers. Someone took a couple of frames from the episode where Wolverine stares wistfully at a photo of Scott and Jean, Photoshopped a different picture into the picture frame, and thus an internet meme was born. If you Google “Sad Wolverine,” you’ll find dozens of variants on this meme; I’ve even created a GeekDad version as seen below.Well, last year Austin-based Mondo went and did a thing, and announced they were making a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive sixth-scale figure immortalizing that meme. The figure soon sold out, but thankfully I was still able to get my hands on one. The retail price of the is $200, and features Wolverine in his blue and gold outfit as seen in the animated series. Mondo also produced a with Wolverine in his yellow and brown costume, priced identically at $200. Both editions have sold out, but you can enter your email on the respective webpages to get notified in case of a restock for both versions.The Wolverine 1/6 Scale Figure – Limited Edition SDCC Variant was created by:Concept Design: Mike Bonanno and Hector ArceSculptors: Tufan Sezer and Hector ArcePackaging Illustration: Eric AndersonPackaging Design: Mike BonannoPaint: Hector ArceArt Direction: Mike Bonanno and Hector ArceI’ve said it before when reviewing figures from Mondo, and I’ll say it again: Mondo really knows how to package their collectibles. When the Wolverine figure arrived, I was surprised at just how big of a box it came in.It turned out there was a good reason for the size. Opening up the box, I found copious foam packaging that surrounded another, smaller brown cardboard box. And inside of that box, protected with plastic corner protectors like the ones seen in , was the actual Wolverine box. Mondo definitely wants to insure that your collectible arrives in excellent condition!Enclosing the packaging of the figure is a black and yellow illustrated cardstock sleeve, which shows keyframes from the opening credits of X-Men ……

By the year 2000, the X-Men franchise had become one of the bestselling comic book properties of all time, was adapted into a highly successful Saturday wolverine picture meme morning animated television series, had its massive roster of characters included in a string of well-regarded video games, and saw myriad of merchandise tie-ins including action figures, T-shirts, and snack foods. The X-Men were on top of the world and didn’t really show any signs of stopping from taking over all of pop culture, but they had yet to break into the live action film (sans for a terrible Generation X made for television movie… yeesh).When acclaimed director Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox teamed up to make millions of X-Men fans around the world finally see their favorite mutants grace the silver screen, there was a lot riding on how the film X-Men would handle many beloved characters.

He redefined the character and made him his own and seemed to love every minute of it. But the one thing we never got to see was the costume. You know, the costume. No big ears and yellow spandex ever graced the screen in a theatrical release. Sure, it was joked about in the first X-Men film and there was a deleted teaser that never paid off from The Wolverine, but we were left wanting more.If the day comes where Jackman dons the claws once more, please, please, PLEASE let him squeeze into the classic comic book costume. The fact that X-Men: Apocalypse called back to some of the teams classic getups makes the fact we never got to see Logan in one hurt even more.Sometimes the simple juxtaposition of two images is enough to get a chuckle. Especially when one of thosewolverine picture meme images is of a cat making a silly face and the other is a raged-out, naked man about to……
