Are there any clearance issues with the ball rolling thru the Beast lane? Both his left and right elbows look pretty low. Can the ball actually hit his belt to trigger the switch or will it get deflected off the elbow?

Looks really good tho'. Keep up the good work.

I've had one of these banks since before the pin was released. Good luck but I see more problems with getting it to work than solutions.

That wolverine looks bad ass but again it always comes to the effectiveness. Good luck in your mod and keep us in the loop for updates.

Looks good, and I have seen this figure before, but the Beast lane really looks a lot narrower than the original. Looking at your pictures, the Gambit playing card is covered all the way to the center. Looks like the figure is a 1/2 inch wider than the original.

i'll watch your progress. thanks for sharing and trying to find a cheaper and nice looking solution!

looks great!
I'd like to see someone do the markmon mod and replace wolvie with a newton ball, then just put a scaled wolverine figure on top

several just sold on amazon [me included] so I think you might be on to something. get 'em before they're gone. lol

eskaybee - I like that idea, too as my ONLY complaint with Xmen is the size of wolvie. magneto is fine as he's in the back of the playfield.
prototypes has a newton ball there... watch making of stern video.

It does look better and he is in a better pose. I had my game a whole day before I started thinking about that figure instead of the original. If is does nothing else, it points out what an epic fail the factory Wolvie is. I mean it was specifically designed for use on the game and fails on so many levels.

OK...so we are going to have a ramp move over here....let's sculpt the figure so this claw is pointing directly in the path of the ramp. Now let's put his other elbow down so it catches balls unless you cut the elbow off. Good...good. Now lets position him differently on the LE for no reason so the Beast shot is 50% tighter on the LE than the Pro....that should also move him over nicely and give us a good excuse to hack half of the Blackbird plastic off that is above the scoop. Now lets make sure it is made out of the cheapest and thinnest plastic available and charge $90 for replacements of the sub $5 figure. BRILLIANT!!!

I use mine (along with a Hulk and Spider-Man bank) as toppers for my Marvel Heroes skill stop slot machine.
