Sony’s Wolverine PS5 Comes in Two Very Different Designs, and Only One Feels Worth the Price

Posted on by

Sony has a pattern with these limited edition consoles now. Announce a big first party or Marvel game, dress up a PS5 to match, sell it alongside a matching controller. Ghost of Yotei got the black and gold treatment last time around, and it was fine, if a little safe. Wolverine is where that formula gets an upgrade.

This time Sony gave us two console designs instead of one. Battle Yellow is unapologetic, claw gouges and a screaming Wolverine face on a bright yellow panel. Adamantium is the plot twist, the same claw motif but stripped down to brushed metal that looks closer to a premium appliance than a video game tie in. Two designs, two totally different personalities, and somehow neither one feels like the compromise pick.

Designer: Jock for Sony & Marvel

Battle Yellow is the flagship of the two, sold as a full PS5 Digital Edition bundle for $649.99 with a matching DualSense controller and a code for the game. The artwork comes from Jock, the Scottish comic artist who worked on Wolverine’s key art, and you can actually tell. The claw slashes and the inked portrait have that loose, hand drawn energy comics get right and games usually flatten out. It is a rare case of licensed hardware art that does not look like clip art stapled onto a console.

Adamantium skips the yellow entirely and goes for brushed silver, but only as a console cover for PS5 Pro owners plus a standalone controller, no full bundle here. That is honestly the smarter buy for anyone who wants the Wolverine tie in without turning their entertainment center into a comic shop display. Same claw details, completely different mood. It reads expensive in a way the yellow version was never trying to.Adamantium skips the yellow entirely and goes for brushed silver, but only as a console cover for PS5 Pro owners plus a standalone controller, no full bundle here.

It reads expensive in a way the yellow version was never trying to.

Here is where it gets less fun. This entire lineup drops during Sony’s second PS5 price hike in under a year, with the standard console now sitting a hundred dollars above where it started. So a $649.99 bundle for a digital only console, no disc drive option at all, lands at a moment when PS5 pricing is already a sore subject for a lot of players. The comments under every Wolverine reveal video prove that. People are annoyed about the missing disc drive way more than they are annoyed about yellow paint.

I get why Sony leans into these drops even now, maybe especially now. A great design distracts from a rough price conversation better than any spec sheet does, and Jock’s artwork is genuinely good enough to pull that off. But good design and good timing are not the same thing, and this lineup is proof you can nail one without fully nailing the other.

Citizen Launches Bold Deadpool and Wolverine Watches In Collaboration with Marvel

Posted on by

With the smash-hit release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Citizen has capitalized on the buzz by launching two character-inspired timepieces that are as bold and beloved as the movie itself. These watches dedicated to Wolverine and Deadpool capture the spirit of the characters and offer fans a stylish way to celebrate their favorite Marvel heroes.

Designer: Citizen

The Wolverine watch is a powerful statement piece, designed to reflect the essence of Logan himself. With a 43mm black ion-plated stainless steel case, it’s as rugged as the character it represents. The blue dial, accented with luminous retractable claws, draws immediate attention, while a yellow outer ring and silver-tone markers add depth and contrast. Luminous hands make it easy to read at a glance, day or night.

Adding a touch of fandom, the X-Men logo proudly marks the 12 o’clock position, and the case back features the iconic “SNIKT!” sound that every Wolverine fan knows by heart. But this watch isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology, and it runs on light, eliminating the need for a battery. It’s a perfect blend of form, function, and fanfare.

If Wolverine’s watch is fierce, the Here Comes Deadpool watch is nothing short of cheeky. This timepiece captures Deadpool’s irreverent spirit with a 42mm black ion-plated stainless steel case and a black textured dial that humorously features Deadpool’s masked face upside down at the 12 o’clock mark. Surrounding this playful design is a red dial ring, emblazoned with “Merc With a Mouth,” which lights up alongside the hands, markers, and Deadpool’s eyes, making this watch impossible to ignore.

The black leather strap, with its red topstitching, perfectly matches Deadpool’s signature colors. Flip it over, and you’ll find an engraving of Deadpool in a relaxed, reclining pose. A perfect example of his trademark humor. And like the Wolverine watch, it’s powered by Eco-Drive technology, ensuring it stays as irrepressible as its namesake.

While both watches share the same innovative technology, their differences are what make them stand out. With its larger 43mm case, the Wolverine watch features a simple date complication and a protective crown guard. In contrast, the 42mm Here Comes Deadpool watch offers both day and date complications and a sleek, guardless crown. The Deadpool watch also comes with a 20mm leather strap, while Wolverine’s timepiece sports a 22mm width bracelet, echoing Logan’s rugged style.

For those who love luminous features, each watch has its own unique light show. The Here Comes Deadpool watch is all about fun, with Deadpool’s eyes, indices, hands, and the “Merc With a Mouth” text lighting up the night. Meanwhile, the Wolverine watch uses lume to highlight its retractable claws motif and the X-Men logo, staying true to its fierce inspiration.

Despite their striking designs and advanced features, these timepieces remain surprisingly affordable. The Wolverine Edition is priced at $425, while the Here Comes Deadpool watch is available for $350. Perhaps it’s Deadpool’s idea of a joke that his watch is the cheaper of the two, but both offer tremendous value for fans and collectors alike.

Someone Made A Deadpool & Wolverine LEGO Set in 2022 And We’re Only Discovering It Now…

Posted on by

Popular LEGO stop-motion animator Hachiroku24 gave us a taste of Deadpool & Wolverine two full years before the real deal. Even though the final movie was star-studded with more cameos than we could possibly hope for, Hachiroku24’s LEGO build is no less, featuring a fight scene between Logan and the merc within the hallways of X-Mansion, with Prof. X, Cyclops, and Storm in the background watching with what I can only assume is a sense of despair as the two immortals absolutely trash the mansion.

Designer: Hachiroku24

Given that the diorama was created two full years before the movie, a lot is left to Hachiroku24’s imagination… and with good reason – the LEGO scene fun, chaotic, and captures a slow-motion build-up of the two superheroes going at each other’s throats – something we all expected early on. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s because of Deadpool either being outright obnoxious or flirting with Storm. Wolverine has his claws out, lunging towards a suited Wade Wilson, who has his non-golden pistoleros pointed in obvious self defense.

The rest of the scene is literal chaos. Furniture broken, curtains and decor knocked over, a marble bust on the floor along with a croissant and a mug of coffee. Meanwhile, rather than intervening, Xavier, Cyclops, and Storm just stand aside and let the two supes go at each other’s throats, knowing that Logan’s temper and Deadpool’s incessant blabbermouthery cannot be controlled.

Although LEGO won’t sell this set, the fact that Hachiroku24 built it on his own means it’s technically possible to source the parts required to put this diorama together. If you’re reading this, Hachiroku24, we’re waiting for you to drop a DIY video on YouTube!

Wolverine-themed Xbox Controller with Claws pairs perfectly with its ‘Cheeky’ Deadpool counterpart

Posted on by

Just last week, Microsoft announced a limited-edition Deadpool-themed Xbox controller with a bright red design and a less-than-conventional ergonomic design, if you know what I mean. Let’s just say that biblically accurate controller had curves in all the right places, and was exactly as hilariously audacious as its inspiration, the merc with a mouth. The biggest problem was that the controller was limited to just 2 units, which would be gifted to the winner of a Twitter (or X) competition… and the second biggest was that there wasn’t a Wolverine controller to match. However, 3D artists at Do3D have solutions for both of those problems.

Meet the unofficial Wolverine Xbox Controller, complete with a yellow body and even three Adamantium claws appearing outward from behind the controller. Designed to pair perfectly with its Deadpool counterpart, this controller actually comes as a set of 3D files you can buy and 3D print on your own.

Designer: Do3D

The Wolverine-themed controller augments the controller’s body in a similar way to its Deadpool counterpart. An attachment fixes to the back, providing a themed take on the handheld unit. In Deadpool’s case, it was a rather cheeky little attachment… however, Wolverine’s controller has his signature back-of-the-fist with three Adamantium claws emerging from within. The attachment is purely cosmetic, and doesn’t affect the grip or gameplay at all. The controller’s body, on the other hand, comes with a diamond plate-inspired texture, along with the wolverine whisker pattern on the front in black.

The controller isn’t available as is, but Do3D is selling detailed 3D files for those looking to print the parts. Once printed (and painted), you can simply disassemble the outer plastic housing of your existing Xbox controller and replace it with this one, provided the print is 100% accurate and without any errors or flaws. We recommend going for ABS, known for its durability… but a PLA filament should work just as well too. You may have to do some additional spray-painting work to make the controller look exactly as shown in the renders here.

The best part is that Do3D is even selling an unofficial version of Microsoft’s Deadpool controller, which you can similarly buy and 3D print. Both the Deadpool and Wolverine controllers can be used with or without their magnetic attachments, and while individual files cost $19, you can buy the combo for just $29 on Do3D’s website and print as many controllers as your heart desires.
