LEGO Wolverine...

After Deadpool's surprisingly popular take on LEGO® history , it's only fitting that his movie buddy Wolverine also becomes the subject of his own LEGO retrospective. Like Wade Wilson, Logan's LEGO journey began in 2012 as part of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set 6866: Wolverine's Chopper Showdown. He was accompanied by the Merc with a mouth and metal manipulator Magneto.

A few years later, Wolverine returned in the first incarnation of the X-Jet in set 76022: X-Men vs. The Sentinel. The LEGO reconstruction of the X-Men's iconic transportation was joined by a mutant-hunting robot, along with Storm and Magneto. This was the first LEGO version of Wolverine with his hood. Logan also wore his yellow and brown outfit, making this another unique version of the character. The same minifigure was also featured on a magnet released in 2017.

In 2016, an awesome collection of superhero-themed mini sets called Mighty Micros were introduced. These paired two different cartoon characters and pitted them against each other in a funky little vehicle. As part of the 2017 Mighty Micros wave, Wolverine took on Magneto, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutant. The minifigures in these sets were a little more cartoonish, with Wolverine being both cute and angry.

Because Fox owned the Mutant characters from the Marvel Universe, they never became part of the MCU. Many of the LEGO Marvel sets focused on the characters and films released through Disney and Marvel Studios. As a result, Wolverine and the mutants were not seen in a LEGO set again until 2022. With news the X-Men would return in a direct sequel to the beloved '90s animated series, Wolverine became one of the Marvel Mechs. The minifigure combined the suit of the very first minifigure Wolverine with the hood, which was first used in 2014.

In 2023, characters from X-Men '97 were included in the second series of LEGO Marvel Minifigures. Wolverine was one of 12 characters from the series and thanks to the detailed prints, it is still the best version of the character today.

2023 turned out to be a great year for Wolverine as he also inspired one of the new Marvel Construction Figures. These buildable characters, like Captain America, Venom and Spider-Man, were the perfect platform to recreate Wolverine. While his claws were a little too long, it's still a great take on the character

Speaking of claws, Wolverine's Adamantium Claws also became the subject of the latest buildable Marvel prop in 2023. Also inspired by the X-Men '97 animated series coming to Disney+, the build focused on a blue-gloved hand with a trio of Adamantium claws drawn and ready to fight.

Earlier this year, a new version of the X-Jet was released. Unfortunately, the set suffers from a high MSRP and the Wolverine minifigure isn't as impressive as the version from the minifigure series. Still, it's nice to have sets inspired by an exciting new era of the MCU.

There are rumors that the Mutants will return later this year in a recreation of the X-Mansion, which could see Logan reappear along with other mutants. He will also star in a brand new game from Insomniac Games, which could lead to even more LEGO appearances for the character, in a similar way to how Miles Morales and Venom started appearing in more sets after appearing in PlayStation games had appeared.
