Not a question (don't kill me Sirt!), I did it.
Opening and assembling a MIB Takara Wolverine. OK, I had to do it, first I noticed the tape had cracked, so, that made it technically no longer MISB. The Wolverine and Sky Hawk are my 2 favorite Joe vehicles and I still needed a loose Takara version, and I wanted a sealed red bubble Covergirl for my collection. A dead mint Wolverine with intact tow cable can be fairly pricey anyway so I'm opening this bad boy!!!! I've wanted to assemble a brand new Wolverine for so long... So much joy! Fight! Friendship! Freedom!

Ahh, she's a thing of beauty! Smart not hooking up the tow cable at both ends. I have a bagged one, mint off of ebay, that popped after about a month hooked up.

That looks awesome! nothing like that fresh out of the box look and feel. talk about bringing back memories!
I know it doesn't need to be said, but whatever you do, don't put the cable on both pegs. Years ago, back around 2005 I got a bagged Wolverine, it was glorious. Watched an old episode of the cartoon while I put it together. Then I did a stupid thing I put the tow cable on there and forgot about it for a couple of years. Then I saw a post on here mentioning how easy they break. So I went and got it out and broke it trying to gently take it off the pegs. |

Damn it, now I want to assemble the sealed contents one I have. I like the different look of some of the stickers.

The stickers are key....I like having Japanese, Canadian and American versions of the sky hawk and wolverine lined up!
Thanks!

Gratz. She is too pretty to spend eternity disassembled inside a box.
