The Marvel Universe line debuted in 2009 and fulfilled the desire of 3-3/4" fans to have a Marvel line made by the same company who makes G.I. Joe. The 1st Wolverine figure released had Wolverine's current X-Force costume. Yet something has been missing from the Marvel Universe lineup....
...Wolverine's blue and yellow costume(s)! Yes, the Marvel Universe line has yet to feature Wolverine in either his current costume(which debuted in Astonishing X-Men), or his classic tiger stripe costume(the one made popular in the 90's and also showed up in the cartoon). While it can be said that the X-Men Origins Wolverine versions fit the bill, let's face it, fans want Marvel Universe versions! With the release of Jean Grey and the standard outfit blue/yellow X-Men costumed Wolverine late last year, we take it it's a good sign that the tiger stripe and Astonishing X-men costumes for Wolverine are inevitable in the Marvel Universe line. So the question is, which one do you want more? For the discussion of the week, that's just what we are trying to figure out! Click on the discuss button to vote in this week's poll/discussion of the week, tiger stripe Wolverine VS Astosnishing X-Men Wolverine for the Marvel Universe line!

Picked this up the tongue version at my local TRU today. Now, I know there is a no tongue version. Is one a variant or something? As far as I know, one has been found in Canada, the other in the US? Or are both available in both countries?

As far as I know, only Canadians have found the tongue version while Americans have only found the tongue-less release so far. We better see the tongue version at some point, it looks a little better. Up to 7 stores and 17 cases of figures so far, only the regular tongue-lesss version in all of them.

My Venom is the no tongue version. I love it, but now I want one with the tongue.

Is there some kind of legal/safety/regulatory issue that is preventing the 'tongue' version from coming into the US? Or are US/Canadian regs so close as to make no difference? Grasping at straws here, but just curious how that version has only been found up north.

Venom with tongue has been found in the US. A few people from the east coast (I think) have found him recently.

I just found the Venom w/ tongue at a Walmart here in Memphis.
(Venom w/ tongue in back) G.I.Joe Night Force w/ Spidey & Punisher X-Force assists G.I.Joe Earth's Mightiest Heroes Wolverine infiltrates the Dreadnoks I don't buy all the Marvel figures. Just the ones I think will look good mixed throughout my G.I.Joe collection. G.I.Joe has clones, androids, accelerator suits, so most can fit in by those standards. Others are just too cool to pass up.
