Alpha Flight Action Figure news...

Hi Alphafans. Did you folks see that there was a Marvel Universe Puck action figure (3 3/4 ") displayed at Toy Fair 2012?

I did a search here to see if anybody posted about it and the search came up with nothing. He doesn't seem to have much for articulation, unfortunately.

They're also apparently releasing a Department H Wolverine/Weapon X.

Yep, there was a thread about it. Havent heard of a release date yet

http://alphaflight.net/showthread.ph...-Universe-Puck

Date's still listed as Fall 2012, but I haven't seen it solicited so we're looking at December at least.

Is that Snowbird on his arm?

It looks awesome! Phil, you might have to change your uh-vatar!

Maybe the gallery / appearances forum should have a section for toys? (Or 3d?)

It'd include the busts, of course. Minimates, specials, Heroclix, Eaglemoss...

But it's rude to point!

What's your point?

Those are pointed questions.

Old men like me don't make points. There's no point.

-K-M- ... oh no you didn't!

Sorry I was just trying to make a point.

Come on, FP, we were all thinking it!

oh.my.word. Phil has a sense of humour? lol

:( I bin disapruvd.

What are you guys going on about?

I got Puck today at Target....There was only one, so I grabbed him. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed with his lack of articulation at his elbows and knees. He does have articulation at neck (ball joint), shoulders (ball joints), wrists, hips(sort of ball joints, which aren't very flexible) and ankles. The Snowbird...Uh...Bird, appears to be a small hawk of some sort. His paint is pretty good, I'm just bummed his articulation is limited. He also has arm and leg hair that is sculpted on...LOL. A pretty good figure, never-the-less.

Some photos I just took of him (and Guardian, as well as Snowbird)...

Cool... I was looking in my LCS for him just yesterday, but didn't see him.

I forgot the articulation at his boot tops, they swivel...It's still too bad that he doesn't have elbow and knee joints.

I picked up Aurora at Toys R Us a few weeks back...Haven't seen Northstar, though.

Dana

Yeah, I have yet to see the Northstar anywhere in shops or online, outside of the Toyfair, so part of me thinks they just cancelled it, after they'd already approved the packaging.

I haven't been able to find Aurora, either.

Though the toys should show up when I get back home.

I made a custom Snowbird, because they'll probably never make her (but who knows?)...Attachment 3773

Nicely done! Looks natural.

The way figures have been released in the past, I'm not ready to assume there'll never be an official one, though.

That's awesome!

That's dedication.

Well-done. :)

Has anyone heard when Marvel Universe Northstar is coming out? or any other AF related characters?

It's currently penciled in for the second wave in 2015 so we're looking at May/July.

Ok great, thanks for the update
