People forget that Excalibur started as a light fun action book which makes the smiles very comic accurate. The first few issues were actually kind of 🤪 goofy. I agree about the orange body suit being a lesser choice. I want this set but I really need my new nightcrawler first.

i was gonna say something along the same lines. i don’t really remember a lot of tragedy. and they were running/flying around with big smiles tho.

This is a set I’m really looking forward to, and as an Alan Davis-era Excalibur fan, I share some of your concerns. No one brought the team to life like he did. (Itching for a deluxe version of Rachel Summers as Phoenix, and would love a Widget, Kylun and Cierse)

Yes, anytime Alan Davis was on Excalibur the book was magic. Anytime he wasn’t it seriously struggled with the one exception of Ron Lim. Really looking forward to this set!

A lot of collectors don’t really use their figures for taking photos of action scenes or things of that nature. A lot of collectors just like having teams on display on the shelf indefinitely. For that purpose, the smiling heads are okay.

This "90s" Shadowcat is 85% of why I was excited when I saw this in my Hasbro newsletter. Because I needed a version of her from this era. Hopefully that means we'll finally see 90s Rachel Summers in a modern Marvel Legends wave. Hopefully her grandfather too. I'm only 3 minutes in but I wonder if Fwoosh will bring up Meggan's frightening face, she has Joker smile going on.

@williamwallace7072 2 жыл бұрын

Folks in this comment section would know the answer to this... do the companies intentionally make a limited supply? Likely they make THOUSANDS of copies but never enough for characters that will undoubtedly be popular. I don't imagine they want to help the resale market so why not not make a billion 90s series Spiderman figures or green goblins or Skrull soliders or whatever else... I was on the fence about collecting Spidey's rogues and the 90s series versions seems to be my way of getting them but they're impossible to get. Just reprint, it's guaranteed money. Just go see what's selling on Ebay and reissue. lol

Love these figures. This set was way easier to get than Rictors three pack. I hope they do a single release of him soon. A Nightcrawler with Hound Rachel with her fire wings down her arms and maybe a Cersi would be a nice three pack. Also I really hope they stop doing exclusives with stores like Walgreens. Its making me fall out of the collecting. Out of nine figures i would have bought including the Nova and Quasar this is the only one. It sucks when you are forced to pay 60 bucks for a 20 buck figure since their partnership doesnt really mean anything to either side.

You know your books Robo. kudos! Really hard not to mention Alan Davis in an Excalibur topic. With my budget constraint, I could only get 1 figure from that pack and that would be Captain Britain. Because he was written by Alan Moore and drawn by the aforementioned Alan Davis. Epic run I must say. Good times solid review!

Nice review of this set! I hear everyone about the 'smiling' faces. I think Hasbro should look into more "swappable" parts...in this case swappable faces. They should make all the hair plug or peg into the head so you can swap faces. This way you could make one set of hair, and different faces to plug in (serious, smiling, snarling, etc). Still this is a great set. Finally have Meggan! So happy!

@brenoferreiraferreira4409 2 жыл бұрын

All of them could have used the new body types with no pegs and better articulation but I love Excalibur and I'm glad we're only missing one member to complete the team. I totally agree with you regarding the looks, yellow costume Megan would be better for this Brian Braddock, or the other way around, v chest costume Brian Braddock would be better for this Megan but in the end if I had to choose individually I would've chosen the exact same costumes for each of this characters Hasbro did. I hope Rachel will come with a Widget. Thanks for the review Robo.

This set was still available on Hasbro Pulse, so I might just get it.

Abomination wave Captain Britain's head would give you a great half-helmet sculpt for Captain Britain. Just have to paint the back of the head and the white lines on the front of the mask. Wish they'd have used it on Brian or included it.

@jonathanhampshire6856 2 жыл бұрын

Nice looking 3 pack. As an Englishman it appeals to me. Captain Britain is a big improvement over the Hyperion mould they used on the last figure. Butterfly joints would've really boosted him to the next level. Megan and Kitty look good. Shame they don't have the new female articulation. If costumes don't quite match I imagine them just wearing the old one from the back of the wardrobe/closet. 🙂

@stevewegling8070 2 жыл бұрын

Robo, I also am a big Shadow cat fan. This is very nice basic representation. The Meggan is pretty but a release with alternative heads and the orange comfy costume would be satisfying. I think This Britain is probably the best were going to see and I am fine with everything. Box art is functional and clean. Excalibur Was a fun comic with alot of heart. My favorite more alternative comic in the x-family is Exiles. It was a a relatity hoping multiverse epic. The first series was as you would suspect the best. 👍on the review.

I like the Perfect World comparisons with the Robo's preferred artist to compare. I think I'm just over the strange anatomy of the sculpts. They have no reason to, but I'd love to see a complete retool of all of their sculpting division from the ground up so these figures look either more artist specific, or more like human beings. I just can't stand these anatomies any more.

Kitty was 4'10" when she first got her powers and joined the X-men at 13-14 years old. In Excalibur, she is high school aged: around 16-17. So that would be the time she grows a lot. She is one of the shorter X-women, but well over 5'. Web Searches yield 4'10" to 5'6". The former is for the Evolution version who is also about 14. The latter may be too tall, but she is usually depicted as taller than Wolverine, in 616, who is 5'-3"ish. So if this is too tall, it's not by more than 1/4" That tall Kitty is practically 7" scale. At 1/12th scale, that is a six-footer: not cool.
