Wolverinepool Unleashed: The Lost Variant from Deadpool and Wolverine That Fans Can’t Stop Talking About
It’s been almost two years since Deadpool and Wolverine tore into theaters in 2024, smashing box office records, and basically single-handedly bringing a huge blast of adrenaline back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even in 2026 the footprint it left in culture was beyond question. Fans continue to dissect every frame of the Void, they pick apart every multiversal cameo, and they plead with Kevin Feige for more of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s anarchic on-screen chemistry.
Just when you thought you had seen every version the Marvel multiverse could throw at you, the internet blew up this week. In a mass “April Pool’s Day” event, Hot Toys has lifted the veil on a character that had only existed in whispered rumors and leaked concept art: Wolverinepool.
That’s right. A gloriously unhinged mash-up of Logan’s brutal clawing ferocity and Wade Wilson’s garrulous personality. In the wake of its release from the cutting room, the scrapped version is causing a stir online.
If you are looking to understand what this means, where this style originated from, and how to get one for yourself then you have come to the right place very rare collectible, then you have come to the right place.
The TVA apparently didn’t want you to see the mutant hybrid, so here’s everything you need to know.
The Legacy of the Void
When Deadpool and Wolverine hit screens, the latter act served up a mind-melting sequence with the Deadpool Corps. We have Nicepool (starring the exceedingly handsome “Gordon Reynolds”), Lady Deadpool, Kidpool, Babypool, and even the regal Dogpool. It was a rich visual treat for multiverse insanity.
However Marvel Studios’ concept artists were definitely throwing everything at the wall behind the scenes. If you ever have to deal with infinite timelines, there are infinite possibilities. For months, speculation had circulated on Reddit and Twitter that a Wade/Logan hybrid was created for the film and then was cut before filming wrapped. Fast forward to 1 April 2026, and Hot Toys confirmed that the rumors were absolutely true. This wasn’t just some crazy fan theory: Deadpool and Wolverine actually existed, and as it turns out, he’s coming to our shelves.
This revelation means that the legacy of the Void is still very much active. Marvel knows all too well that fans have a bottomless hunger for the cutting room floor, and releasing a bombshell piece of concept art into the physical world is a very smart way to keep the 2024 blockbuster at the top of the pop culture conversation.
What Exactly Is “Wolverinepool”?
To get Wolverinepool you need to get just how insane comic book multiverses are. In the comics we have seen so many mashups. We’ve seen Venomized everyone, Ghost Rider/Punisher hybrids (Cosmic Ghost Rider), Deadpool mashed up with practically every character you could imagine.
Wolverinepool is exactly what you want it to be a deadly mashup of Wade Wilson and James “Logan” Howlett. Picture the Deadpool regenerative healing factor combined with an adamantium skeleton, and layered in a suit that is reminiscent of both legendary super-heroes.
Wolverinepool was born out of Deadpool meets while traveling through the dimensions or maybe in the wilderness of the Void, as the official backstory with the new edition reads. It perfectly combines the classic helmet, shoulder and arm plates from Wolverine’s X-men costume, with Deadpool’s signature red and black suit. It’s the ultimate mutant blend engineered to wreak as much havoc as it can.
Breaking Down the Hot Toys 1/6 Scale Figure
Now let’s talk about the small stuff because Hot Toys certainly didn’t hold back with this release. When the highly respected Hong Kong toy company releases a 1/6 scale figure, they are perfection and I can say that without a shadow of a doubt about Wolverinepool.
This is what you get with this 31 cm tall masterpiece:
The Suit: The cut is spectacular. It brings Wade’s red-and-black palette into Logan’s costume design. It comes with new design body armor, a robust tactical belt, pistol holsters on thigh, long combat boots and more. The result of silk screen printing with a drip-glue effect looks like a battle-worn armor.
The Cowl: The mask is a masterpiece. It has Deadpool’s usual full-face coverage, while also featuring the fierce, aggressive black eye shapes that are synonymous with Wolverine’s iconic cowl. Better yet — five pairs of interchangeable eye pieces are included, allowing you to switch out his expressions from “hilariously confused” to “all I’ve got”.
The Arsenal: What’s a Deadpool and Wolverine hybrid without his weapons? The figure is packed with eight different sets of hands. You get fists,gun holding grips, and special hands to use his two katanas. The katanas slide easily into an attachable magnetic scabbard on his back. He also comes packing twin pistols.
The Claws: The pièce de résistance. There’s no Wolverinepool without claws. The figure comes with a standard pair of adamantium claws as well as a pair with translucent slashing effect pieces to best represent the heat of a dynamic combat stance.
Collector’s Note: If you’re a collector, you’ve got to move fast. This version is limited to 2,000 pcs only in a few regions and retails around HKD 1,780 from Hot Toys. Shipments are expected in the third quarter to fourth quarter of 2026. When it comes to Marvel, this will certainly be one of the greatest treasures ever to collect.
April Pool’s Day & The 2026 Merch Boom
There is nothing more satisfying when the timing of a reveal is a masterclass in marketing. “April 1st” is commonly celebrated as April Fools’ Day in the world, but in the Marvel fandom, we’ve fondly renamed it “April Pool’s Day.”
When Hot Toys first teased a Wolverinepool release, half the internet just figured they were joking. A variant this absurd? It’s a prank. But then Hot Toys said:
“We swear on Wade Wilson’s chimichangas, this isn’t a prank — we’re celebrating April Pool’s Day by releasing the craziest variant of them all!”
This release is one of many items to be expected in the 2026 merchandise rage the film will be inducing. Since the film was such a massive success, toy makers are reaching into the archives. We’re already seeing pre-orders for figures such as “Deadpool (Battling Version)” sporting battle-damaged armor and a jaw-dropping Ryan Reynolds scarred head sculpt, plus the much-anticipated 2026 release of the “Nicepool” sixth scale figure (with Dogpool, naturally).
The fact there are still people in the industry producing premium, high-end products on a film that is now two years old speaks to just how powerful the Deadpool and Wolverine brand is. It has been established as a regular staple in popular culture.
Why Didn’t Wolverinepool Make the Final Theatrical Cut?
Looking at this amazing design, it only begs the question: Why was this cut from the final film? Although director Shawn Levy and Kevin Feige have not issued a direct statement regarding the removal of this version, a look at the film’s structure offers some rather conclusive hints.
And then there’s the narrative pacing. Deadpool and Wolverine’s third act was already breaking the mold. The fight with the Deadpool Corps was a huge set piece that had to handle dozens of characters on screen. Introducing a hybrid character who needs explaining—Is he a Deadpool? Is he a Wolverine? Does he have an adamantium skeleton?—might have thrown off the comedic timing of the scene.
Secondly, it’s Hugh Jackman centric. The film was essentially about Wade seeking out a meaningful Wolverine. The emotional tug of the narrative hinged on the relationship of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s “Worst Wolverine.” Adding a Wolverinepool into the mix may have taken away from Logan’s power or conflicted with the real Wolverine who’s literally standing next to Wade.
Concept art is a playground where artists are let loose to dream without budgets or runtimes. WolverinePool was considered too distracting in the theatrical cut, but the design was just too good to keep it locked up in a Marvel Studios server forever.
Will We See Deadpool and Wolverine in Avengers: Doomsday?
The scarily amazing reveal of Wolverinepool isn’t just to sell a neat toy; it has sparked a firestorm of conversation that will continue building into the future of these characters in the MCU. Specifically, the looming release of Avengers: Doomsday.
With 2026 coming to an end, there’s so much hype for Doomsday. We know that the biggest villain of the Multiverse Saga will be Doctor Doom. The timelines are collapsing, we know. And we know that the Void and the TVA have a hand in the very mechanics of this universe.
Since Deadpool and Wolverine now officially bridged the Fox X-Men universe with the Sacred Timeline, news outlets and theorists alike are convinced not only that Wade and Logan will make the jump to the main Avengers roster but… The narrative groundwork has already been laid. Deadpool craves significance, he wants to be an Avenger. What else could show him up as a worthy hero better than working with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes batting Doom?
The inclusion of censored content such as Wolverinpool tempts the viewer to wonder what the multiverse could reach. And if Avengers: Secret Wars (Doomsday’s follow up) is going to have Battleworld–a planet stitched together out of destroyed alternative realities–there’s a good chance this is where scrapped variations could finally get a live take. Could Wolverinepool also be seen as a background easter egg in Battleworld?
