It Came from the Toy Chest: Angry Stabby Canadian and Transracial Woman.

Remember that Betsy Braddock was white then became Asian... And now they are making Psylocke White Again...


So long story short:

Wolverine: This is the Tiger Stripe Edition, meaning that


90s Wolverine... Now if I could get a reasonably priced Jean Grey... (closer to 60 than closer to 100+) and if Hasbro would make a brand new Storm and Beast, I could have my 90s team...

But Wolverine. Mutant old man with amnesia and has been pretty much everywhere in the Marvel Universe... Wouldn't put it past NuMarvel to retcon Peter being a son of Logan instead of Richard Parker... He's also angry and stabby thanks to his special cutlery that comes out of his arms.

Psylocke is a ninja with psychic powers that can create swords daggers out of psychic energy. Also, according to Capcom she can do deadly butterflies. As I said before she was white, now she's Asian, and going back to white...
The ToyBiz Psylocke looked like British Betsy with Kwanon's outfit. The Hasbro one looks like what Asian Psylocke should look like.

Loads of Marvel but lacking a lot on the vs Capcom side.

Articulation:

Sabretooth will be on the prowl soon!
As soon as I can get one...

You have seen the retro styled tan/brown Wolverine from the vintage toybiz pre-ML card set showing up in previous reviews. Well, the Tigerstripe is similar in articulation and sculpt. Mostly like a normal ML, but a bit closer to Spider-man with the butterfly cut pectoral articulation
4.5

Betsy on the other hand is on the female buck. Similar range of articulation to any other ML Female WITHOUT any coat or jacket that would hinder her Articulation.
4.5

Paint and sculpt:
Wolverine got the better deal here. He  even has sculpted hair on his arms. I'm half tempted to paint the hair, but I'm afraid of messing up. His colors are vibrant far off the puke yellow from Banshee 12 years ago.
4.5

Psylocke is inflicting the most painful
psychic attack on Logan. Making himRelive his most painful memories...

MY Psylocke that I ordered online... well, she isn't bad but when the factory applied the flesh tones on her left leg, it wasn't fully applied and you can see a hint of the hifty metallic blueish-purple on it. Also, now that I look at Rogue next to Betsy... Seems that her chest has deflated... but she is part of crazy continuity tweaks done at random.
4.0

Accessories:
Wolverine:
Removable claws and extra fists without claw holes.
Apocalypse BAF ARM Cables.

Psylocke:
Psy-knife
Psy-Katana with removable effect (similar to Typhoid Mary. review coming soion)
Telepathy effect
Apocalypse BAF Leg


Let's be honest. Wolverine is rather MEH on the accessories. If the alternate hands were gripping hands or something, it would make sense. and with all the spare Logan headsculpts that Hasbro has, why didn't they sneak in a second head and the removed mask? Psylocke got off better since her psy effects can be combined and if you're not fan of the katana you can make her psy-knife look more deadly. SO...
Wolverine: 3.0
Psylocke 4.5

Le Cyclope is french for dick, which you are one!
Bub!

Overall:
Wolverine gets a 4.0 while Psylocke gets a 4.33... Wow... All I need is a Gambit (supposedly coming late 2018-early 2019) and a Beast and I can have my team for this:


But for now I can replace the ToyBiz grossly out of scale MLIII Wolverine and the European Psylocke dressed in Asian Psylocke clothing.
