They did say he has a new head, and he seems pretty nicely scaled from what we've seen. So I'm going to assume it's new, or at least so heavily retooled as to be new.

But I'm not complaining. I mean, my top 10 just got decimated. I'm very pleased about how 2020 is turning out. Hasbro has been killing it year after year since 2016. Edit: just read they said that the AF box set will go up for preorder tomorrow. I'm checking it at 12:01 am. |

My only complaint (if you could call it that) is that I'd much rather prefer Heather's green Vindicator suit from Alpha Flight Vol. 2, in the late 90s, but mostly because it gives her a much more unique look from being essentially a gender-swapped Guardian with sunglasses. Not that this will keep me from buying it, but still. |

I get what you're saying about Vindicator, but ironically, I prefer this one we're getting. Different opinions, both right. |

Where are the pics of this stuff?

Having only recently completed my Sasquatch BAF I'm glad he's not part of the boxset, mainly because that would have driven the price of the set up. This reminds of the EE GotG comic set, it's not every member but it's a really good instant team set all the same. I want to say Puck looks partly new aside from the head, he doesn't look as small as the BAF going off of the in-box pic.
|
I'm not too sure how to feel about the Alpha Flight pack. I haven't even had the chance to buy Vindicator from the Wendigo wave yet and he's already obsolete now that he is getting a rerelease. Are they going to do any retools to Sasquatch? It's also gotta be a pretty expensive set given the picture I saw on Facebook.
|
You know, at $110 for the set, divided by $20...
Five and a half. Nicely done with the math, Hasbro :D Quote:

Also, I did find a misstep! Unless the actual package shots show us one, there's no open hand for Northstar to pose him and Aurora using the original version of their powers! RUINED FOREVER, 0/10 EDIT: Are any of the faces reused? Despite the new ears, Aurora's face looks kinda familiar, as does Shaman's. |

Also, that's not Guardian, that's Vindicator. If you need me to, on Monday after my convention I'll take a picture from the pages of my X-Men books where he says his name is Vindicator several times. |

Look. I know that he's been called Vindicator before in the comics. Hell, he was Vindicator in the X-Men animated series. He and Heather have swapped codenames between each other a few times. But these figures are being marketed with Hudson being Guardian, and Heather being Vindicator. Hell, his single-packed box SAYS "Marvel's Guardian", and at the panel they referred to Heather as Vindicator, which I'm sure it says on the box set as well (no clear images of the box yet). This ain't even deep-cut Marvel knowledge. EDIT: I see that we do now have a better photo of the box (thanks for the link, sh002) and it does indeed call out Heather as Vindicator |

"Poor man's X-Men," didn't that used to be the Avengers for a long while, back there in the 90s or so? :D |

Well well well. I was working while I was watching the live panel. I shouted to everyone!
Puck...good, expected, then Aurora and Northstar (punching the air). Then Vindicator, (oh cool, well done Canada Expo ). Then Snowbird (whaaaattttt?!?) then Shaman, STFU! I could not believe. And December release? In time for my birthday. Ka-Ching. As a child of the 80's Alpha Flight and New Mutants were new, and fresh and follow from the very beginning. This is the best news for me evah. Same as Nash, knock three of my top ten. But of course I want more... Will we get Marrina? If next year we get Jocasta, Ultron, Mantis, Moondragon and Bug, I'm done. |
Zero interest in Alpha Flight, but I’ll be tracking down Northstar for my X-Men display for sure.
|
Puck is a redeco, not a new mold - same size as the BAF. Even sans Marrina and Talisman, this is a very welcome reveal.

But yeah Alpha Flight's a REALLY good sign that they're making efforts to complete teams. Actually could they possibly give a more clear sign than that? So we'll see. With this set my Alpha Flight needs are taken care of. I mean, I wouldn't turn down Marrina, Talisman or Box but they're not even on my radar. |
