Thread: Alpha Action Figure Question

  1. #1

    Default Alpha Action Figure Question

    Years ago. I bought a Snowbird action figure here in the states that came with a Puck action figure in it. This was easily 10 or more years ago. I have long since lost the figures and dont remember what action figure line they belonged to. Does anyone know anything about them? I would love to know what other Alpha members they made if any and try to obtain them. They where pretty could looking figures from what I remember. The Puck figure had this silly cartwheel feature that I remeber never getting to work LOL. But the actual sculpts where very good.

    I think it's the Marvel Collector Editions. I have the Guardian (Heather) and Sasquatch figures from that series. They came together with a hologram collector card.

    I personally like the old one better. His proportion to other characters isn't right, but I prefer the sculpt to the Marvel Legends. On the other hand, the Marvel Legends on does have way more articulation, so can do much cooler poses.

    It's something about his hair(on his head) that throws me off. Not sure what, but again it's a personal preference. They're both cool! And I had to have them both. In fact I had to have the White ML one as well. The set wouldn't be complete without!

    Almost resembles the Alien Queen from Aliens.

    I had a couple sets of these. They looked alright, but the poses were really wonky and the joints were in strange places. For example, Aurora has cut joints on her hips and no knee joints. BUT she has joints in her ankles...wtf?

    Anyway, yeah check on eBay. I sold my extra carded set there a month or two back and whoever won them got a good deal. I think all three two-packs went for less than $20 together.

    Yeah, the women in this set were pretty bad. Wide hips with cut joints and no knees. Good for birthing babies, but sucks when you need a good pose for kicking in bad guy teeth!
