Wolverine: the character's complete collection in 2026

Retractable claws, a yellow mask with two points and a fierce temper: Wolverine is one of Marvel's best-known mutants, ranked first of the 200 greatest comic book characters by Wizard magazine in 2008. As early as 1995, he shared with Spider-Man the position of Marvel's most licensed character, and few heroes have been turned into so many collectables. 2026 confirms this: Funko has several new figures of him, taken from both the comics and the animated series, and Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine was released on PS5 on 15 September. Here is a look at everything Logan has for collectors this year: Funko POP figures and a video game.

Who is Wolverine?

Wolverine was created in 1974 for a comic about another hero: he first appears in The Incredible Hulk #180, cover-dated October 1974, then has his first real role in issue 181 in November. Writer Len Wein came up with him, John Romita Sr. designed his costume and Herb Trimpe drew him fighting the Hulk. In May 1975, Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum added him to the new X-Men team in Giant-Size X-Men #1. His name, Logan, was only revealed in 1977, and he got his first solo mini-series in 1982, written by Chris Claremont and drawn by Frank Miller.

In the comics, Logan's real name is James Howlett, a Canadian mutant born in the late 19th century in Alberta. His healing factor slows his ageing: he is over a hundred years old but looks like a man in his forties. He also has senses as sharp as an animal's and retractable claws, originally made of bone, which the Weapon X programme coated in adamantium, like his entire skeleton. A member of the X-Men, he has also been part of the Avengers, X-Force and the Canadian team Alpha Flight. On screen, Hugh Jackman played him in ten films, from X-Men in 2000 to Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024, and Cal Dodd voices him in the 1990s X-Men cartoon as well as in X-Men '97, launched in 2024.

For manufacturers, the character has several easily recognisable outfits: the yellow and blue costume with the pointed mask, the brown and tan outfit adopted in 1977, then the return to yellow and blue in the 1990s. The claws are enough to identify him, whatever the size of the item. This year's figures use these different versions, as the selection below shows.

Funko POP 2026: the new Wolverine figures

Funko is releasing Wolverine in several forms this year, from a pencil-sketch version to a scene taken from a meme, as well as a mini figure with its arcade cabinet. Here they are in order of release.

Funko POP Wolverine #1573: the Sketched version

The first Wolverine of the year, released at the end of January in the Marvel Comics range, this model has the Sketched finish: the vinyl is white and the outlines are drawn in black pencil lines, like a comic drawing. The hero is shown mid-leap, claws out and mouth open showing fangs, on a clear base. It is a bobblehead, and Funko lists it at about 4.3 in (10.9 cm) tall.

Bitty POP Arcade: Wolverine and his X-Men cabinet

Released in March, this Bitty POP Arcade box contains two pieces: a mini Wolverine figure of about 0.9 in (2.3 cm) in his brown costume, and an X-Men arcade cabinet of about 3.5 in (8.9 cm) whose control panel shows several team members. The mini figure comes in a hard plastic case whose bottom acts as a base, and the case can then be stored inside the cabinet.

Funko POP Wolverine #1592: the Wasteland version from X-Men '97

Released at the end of May, this figure comes from the animated series X-Men '97, whose logo is on the box, and Funko calls it Wolverine (Wasteland). Wolverine wears a dark blue hood with a long tie that covers the top of his face, a dark collar with spiky points around his shoulders, and brown straps and a belt over the yellow and blue costume. He is shown mid-leap, claws out. Funko lists it at about 4.4 in (11.2 cm) tall.

Funko POP Deluxe Wolverine #1601: Wolverine on his bed, the meme

Released at the end of June in the Deluxe format, this box recreates a scene that became a meme: Wolverine, in his yellow and blue costume, sits on his bed, leaning against a pillow, and looks at a framed photo he holds in his hands. Funko places it in its POP Memes range and links it to the 1990s X-Men cartoon, whose title is on the box next to black and white drawings of the character. The figure is about 3.9 in (9.9 cm) tall.

Funko POP Wolverine #1607: the Spider-Man crossover

Released on the same date, this figure mixes two Marvel heroes: Wolverine's mask has Spider-Man's web pattern, a blue spider decorates his chest and metal legs spread out from each side of his body, in addition to his claws. Funko calls it Wolverine (Spider-Man Mash-up) and presents it as a retailer exclusive, with an authentication sticker on the box. It is about 3.9 in (9.9 cm) tall.

All the Wolverine POP figures, from the oldest to this year's new releases, are listed below.

Video game 2026: Marvel's Wolverine on PS5

Released on 15 September 2026 on PS5, Marvel's Wolverine is a single-player action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games, the studio behind the Marvel's Spider-Man series, and published under the PlayStation Studios label. It tells an original story in which Logan looks for answers about his past, from Madripoor to the frozen wilds of Canada and the streets of Tokyo, and meets Marvel characters such as Mystique and Omega Red. The official description highlights fast close-quarters combat, and the game is rated PEGI 18.

Wolverine in the collections

Between the Funko figures taken from the comics, the 1990s cartoon and X-Men '97, and the Insomniac Games title, 2026 covers several periods of the character.

Wolverine also appears as a minifigure in LEGO Marvel set 76336, Spider-Man Car vs. Venomized Wolverine, in a venomised version facing Spider-Man and his car: according to LEGO, it is the first appearance of this version in a set, but the box is mainly about Spider-Man. The catalogue also includes older LEGO sets, Loungefly items, mugs and T-shirts featuring the mutant.

Here is a selection of Wolverine items, across all categories.
