Alpha Toys

[Douglas Cuckler]

Hey all, I hope I'm not the only one who has the Alpha Flight toys around here. ;) . I have all six of the double release ones, but I need to find the Toy Fare Exclusive Gaurdian I love the Sasquatch one and the Snowbird one the best.

Also to be fun, what Alpha toys would you want to buy?

[Mystic]

I have the Sasquatch/Vindicator and the Northstar/Aurora ones, but it's almost impossible for me to find someone selling Snowbird/Puck by itself. I think they're great figures and they absolutley need to come out with more in the line. Perhaps these would make great double packs:

1. The Master/Marrina
2. Shaman/Talisman
3. Flex/Radius
4. Persuasion/Murmur
5. Manbot/Box

It's all I can think of right at the moment, but I'll come back and add some more once I think of them.

While looking around on Ebay for it, I found the following:

but not what yer lookin' for

[Puck]

OOO, that looks really cool.....too bad how expensive it is

[PWalk]

I'd like to see a Box figure and a puck figure thats somewhat posable.

[Major Mapleleaf Jr]

Does anyone on here ever make any Alpha Flight mods? I'd love to see some.

I've got a Nemesis figure in the works, but haven't quite figured out how to do a cool cape for her. I'd like to do more, but I need heads (3.75 inch GIJoe scale) to do anything decent for a lot of the team members. If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it. :)

What line were the Alpha Flight toys you all are talking about from? I saw some pictures of them online, but no other information was available.

I think the thread was originally about the 20th(?) anniversary ones years back.

phil, it's strange to see my quote used as a signature. Took me a while to figure what that quote was doing there

[darc_light]

I remember seeing Walt, Heather and Northstar a while back, I didn't know about Flex and Radius... 8)

Once again, Kyle is so neglected... :cry:
To the best of my knowledge, the only Non-Custom Wildchild figure, outside of Heroclix, is the tiny AOA Wildchild that came with AOA Sabretooth...I snapped that up so fast I got whiplash...
I've seen some beautiful custom figures of Kyle =D>
Of course, if they made a figure of Kyle now, it would probably be the Nosferatu look... :cry: , It's not so bad when he's in that cool Weapon X blue sleeveless outfit, but in that cloak....{shudder}

I was able to track down a full set of the Alpha Flight figures from 1999 online a while back. Got the whole set (still on the cards) for $25US shipped. I'd like to find the Toyfare exclusive Guardian to go with them, but I'll have to wait until I have some more money for those.

As much as I love to Marvel Legends style figures (some of the upcoming stuff is absolutely beautiful!), I've stayed away from them strictly due to their size. However, the Superhero Showdown figures (wave 3 will ship under the name of Marvel Legends Showdown) look bloody fantastic. They're a little bit bigger than GIJoe figures (around 4" instead of 3.75") but wow are they great looking. Between that line, GIJoe and Microman figures I'm hoping to build a nice set of custom Alpha Flight figures and a dream Omega Flight team.

Anyone else out there make custom figures, or collect toys at all?

[JackFrostUK]

Don't know if any of you have seen this. But this guy made some sweet Alpha Flight custom figures.

[Shaman Of The Whills]

That Shaman is pretty sweet, I'd like to get my hands on that one.

[Obsidian3d]

Those are all pretty nice looking! I don't like the amount of black wash he has on them (makes them look dirty to me) but the sculpting and parts choice is really spot on. I can only hope my smaller size customs turn out half as nicely.

[PWalk]

He mentions on that site the the set will be available in early 2006. Are they looking to produce this set? I need to start saving money.

[Obsidian3d]

I think he's just joking around, but who knows. Since they already released Sasquatch AND the guy posted recipes (the figures are all based on other ones) it's probably just a gag.
