Even Hugh Jackman might do a double take at this incredibly realistic new Wolverine toy, which is due to be released next year. Standing at 30cm tall the figure comes with three sets of hands - relaxed, fists, and fists with his killer claws out. The face and body so closely resembles the 46-year-old Australian actor/superhero that the action figure has been lauded as the best of its kind to date. "They have seemingly sealed the soul of Hugh Jackman himself," wrote James Whitbrook on the Toybox review site. Made by the Hot Toys firm in Hong Kong to celebrate the X-Men: Days of Future Past movie the doll costs $250 USD and is available for pre order before its August release.
