My initial impressions of the Excalibur set:

Captain Britain - This figure is way cooler than I expected him to be. The paint work is great and the colors really work well together. I'm trying to remember where he used Excalibur though and I'm drawing a blank. I even skimmed through my Omnibus and can't seem to find a fight where he didn't use his fists to fight.

Meggan - I have mixed feelings on Meggan. First off, the flesh paint scratched off the top of her right shoulder. Fortunately, since her head can't really move thanks to the brick called hair it's hidden away, but still annoying as all hell. There also seems to be something off about her face. I don't really think Meggan was meant to smile that way as she looks more like she is ready to trick your childen into her ginderbreak house and eat them rather than save the world.

Shadowcat - It is weird that her hair is not curly, however, it looks far better in person than the images made her look. And who knows, maybe Hasbro can always pack a better head with Phoenix or something. I was amazed to learn she doesn't reuse the Firestar/BW body and is actually a smaller teen body like I thought she had. I wonder who else they could use her body for. I don't think Siryn was a teenager, though, I could be wrong. The paint apps are great.

It is a shame they didn't use the pinless joints for anyone in the pack though.
