Wolverine V - Spy Wolverine

wolv5BB.jpg Year of release: 1993
Figure Number: 4910
Accessories: Six (6) Knife-type accessories
Action Feature: Knife Thrusting Action (Twist Waist Action)

Comments: The only figure in this line to have an exclusive variation, this was an extremly popular figure. Wolverine is pictured in his "spy gear" as shown in several issues of the Wolverine comics of the time. This figure also set a record with the most accessories for a single figure to date with six (6) separate knife-like weapons. These weapons could be held by the figure or attached to the body for display.

The action feature was based on the waist twisting action now common to these figures (found on several previous figures, most notably on Wolverine II and Wolverine III). This figure was also available as a KayBee Toys exclusive variation. The KayBee figure had an olive drab uniform in place of the original black. The actual production numbers for this exclusive figure are unknown, but it is assumed that this variation was produced in smaller numbers than the original black figure. The KayBee exclusive figure is frequently sought after by collectors though the figure itself cannot be objectively classified as rare.

This figure was also available as a 10" figure including a KayBee Exclusive Metallic repaint. The repaint features a blue uniform.
