First up is Battle Damaged Logan which is remakablely the first Wolverine figure to feature battle damage. This is odd because I don't think that there is one character in comics who takes more battle damage then Wolverine. There is nothing special about this figure. It's Logan in jeans, and a wife beater that is torn in places.
The figure included with the lackluster Wolverine is the movie version of Gambit. This is another plain clothes Minimate but he does include a new coat that has a flourish at the bottom that does fit the character. The gold staff that he is seen in the picture holding is included but it's his only accessory.
Here is a side by side with the comic version of Gambit that was recently released. I have never really cared for Gambit and I don't really understand why people are so high on him.
The 2 alternate hands picture with the movie gambit below came with the comic Gambit. To be honest I am not sure why it was not included in this one as well.
These are pictures of the World War 2 Logan figure. Strangely enough there is a comic version of this figure in Wave 29. The movie version appears to be almost identical to the comic one with the exception of uniform color, helmet, and head. There is a lot of sculpted detail on the chest piece and underneath is a simple BDU shirt.

This what is underneath the hair piece presumably so that while he has the helmet on Logan does not appear bald.
You can see from the picture that there is a grid tampo on the helmet.
The last of the new figures in "Wave 2" is Final Battle Deadpool. Of all of the crimes perpetrated, and there are many, Deadpool is the worst. In the first part of the movie they had it kind of right Ryan Reynolds was perfect casting as Wade Wilson, he has great comedic timing as well as the physicality to look convincing doing the action. So with all this going for them in the first act what does Fox do? They take the mouth from the "Merc With a Mouth". UGH. Anyway here is that abomination in Minimate form.
Here is the other Deadpool from series 1.
Here is the bladed hand that came with him. All that they did was shave 2 of the 3 claws off of a Wolverine hand. LAME.
And just to make sure that there is no debate on how bad Fox screwed the pooch here are the 3 Deadpool figures in a line-up. 1 is an okay figure. 1 is an idea abortion. and 1 is glorious. You make the call.
So there they are. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the World War 2 Logan and I kind of like the Gambit. The other 2 are about as good as the movie, which is not high praise. Feel free to comment below with and thoughts, questions, or picture requests.
