Haven't got my hands on this set yet but absolutely will get it. The early days of Excalibur is still my personal favorite comic run...as long as it was drawn by Alan Davis. The book was such a fun, big hearted corner of Marvel that mixed strong characterization and insane adventure. It was great to have (semi-) mutant book that wasn't too dark and heavy and embraced the absurd of comics, and wasn't afraid to make fun of it's cast. Kitty accidentally gets dressed in a diaper? Done. Nightcrawler's in drag? Yup. The Cross-Time Caper story ran too long and eventually ran of out of juice but had plenty of fun moments along the way, and I loved the team's involvement in Inferno. Davis artwork is still my favorite.
Talk about a coincidence. I just ordered Excalibur off eBay today. I'm glad that I watched the review. I can't wait till I get this 3 pack. I'll definitely heat up Meggan's head sculpt for sure if need be. I'm very happy I bought this.
I'm putting together a Kitty display on my shelf. Got both available Funko Pop Kittys, the awesome Legends from the Juggernaut wave, the AOA version, and even the old 3 1/2 Hasbro fig (which never even opened). Won't be complete without this Excalibur blue costume that's for sure!
I love it! Love to finally get a Megan. I actually like her teeth showing it fits her character in the comics. Shadowcat in her sexy outfit. And an alternate universe captain britan head.
I'm with you, I'm glad we got these.. but I really hate the hair they gave Shadowcat, the face they gave Meggan, and the costume choice for Captain Britain. Hopefully they at least get Phoenix right.
I like the look of this trio. Capt Britain is a big improvement on the Hyperion mould version with it's ridiculous chest shelf. Just wish all three were pinless and had improved articulation. The articulation of Power Rangers Lightning Collection would make these incredible. Top review Shartimus. Merry Christmas all.🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅
This three pack has been long overdue for a Shartimus Prime review. While I think it's a fine set of action figures, it's really not something I would purchase for myself. I may be imagining things but it seems that the figures in packs have inferior paint applications. I also have a feeling that I could pick this up for a reduced price sometime in February or March.
Hi shartimus, big fan, i just bought a mafex deadpool and was trying to switch heads but all of a sudden the right leg started to sit lower down and i can see inside the joint, what do i do to fix it?
I just don't love the smiling faces on Megan and Shadowcat. While a smiling face works for Megan it just isn't quite what I would have hoped for. As for Kitty? Well having only a smiling face makes her look odd on a shelf display where nobody else is smiling. Alternate heads would have been ideal. Hopefully there will individualy carded mass market rereleases in the future and they can fix some missed opportunities. Megan having swappable arms and a head for a werewolf or "ugly" form would be awesome. It would be cool to get a Shadowcat with a short hair alternate head and scarf from the Kitty/Wolverine mini series.
Lol! Meggan is English, so they gave her authentic "Ye Olde London" teeth, lol! 😂 But seriously, the classic Excalibur action figures are awesome! I just wish that the package would've had Meggan's original goldenrod colored costume and that Nightcrawler, Phoenix (Rachel Summers) and Widget in his original flying robot head form would've also been included in the package, too. I think that there should've even been an Opal Luna Saturnyne action figure, a Warwolves action figure package that comes with Scarper, Jacko, Popsie and Ducks, and a Technet action figure package that comes with Gatecrasher, Yap, Waxwork (Elmo), Scatterbrain (Fascination), Ferro², China Doll, Thug, Numbers, Joyboy, Ringtoss, and Bodybag. The Excalibur sword looks really good. A very good idea for a set to put the members of the Excalibur super hero team would be Captain Britain's lighthouse, which became the team's Headquarters. Another thing that could be done is have the Captain Britain and Shadowcat action figures have heads without masks, so that there could be a Brian Braddock head and a Kitty Pryde head, respectively. If there was a Phoenix (Rachel Summers) action figure, they could also make her have Phoenix face with the glowing eyes and the Hound marks on her face and a Rachel Summers head so that she could have a normal face with green eyes. Maybe the Phoenix head could have her hair loose in the back but the Rachel Summers head could have her hair in a ponytail. Anyway, I like the Captain Britain action figure with that particular costume the most. That was the one that he had before it was replaced with the one that he had gotten later during the Cross-Time Caper story. Lockheed is cool but just like if they made a Widget, he could've had a fire breath attachment or even a roaring face. Widget could've come with a dimensional/spatial/temporal aperture. And you're right, the Shadowcat hair could've been more accurate to how she looked during the 1980s. But overall the action figure package wasn't bad.
I'd like to extend a happy holidays to you and your family it's been a while since I've seen a vid but I'd like to say with these new Marvel legends that are coming out I'm gonna have to step down
Also, My Shadowcat's left (her left) arm has either cracked or extra plastic in her shoulder joint in the armpit that makes her arm wobbly. Is yours like that, too?
I wanted this three figures very much but they suck and this set looks like an easy money grab, I'm almost sure they're going to rerelease these characters but since I can't be 100% sure i will buy them all the same. It's how Hasbro deals and I play right into their hands every time. Thanks for the review Shartimus.
I am so disappointed in this Captain Britain. He’s so hard to pose with the sword. A sworded figure like this needs pivoting shoulders, and ideally wrists the pivot vertically. It’s almost impossible (at least for me) to pose him with the sword.
Not sure if it's the lighting or the extreme close up but those figures look like knock offs... plastic colors are all over the place and paint deco is quite bad on Captain Britain. Contrary to the video remarks I liked Shadowcat better. The other figures have way too many QC issues. I dunno I was excited to get this set now I'm not so sure anymore. I'd hate to spend the money they're going for and get figures that look like knock offs 😕

Faces may not be perfect but I am still impressed with how far we’ve come compared to early figures. These look great.

I hope at some point Hasbro makes Rachel Summers Phoenix.

Meggan's head sculpt is really nice!..have a good Christmas Shart. 🐩💨
“Especially because I’m a big fan of those” 😂 had me dying

Top review Shartimus.

Nothing like Christmas eve with a shart, ShartimusPrime that is!🤣🎄

The only one I want from this is Kitty Pryde
Which figures have the same body sculpt as Meggan? I want to use it for my Madelyn Pryor custom.
I love this 3 pack can't wait to get it
now we only need a rachel summers and a curly haired nightcrawler ❤️❤️❤️
Where did you get those from
very cool!!
Hi shartimus, big fan, i just bought a mafex deadpool and was trying to switch heads but all of a sudden the right leg started to sit lower down and i can see inside the joint, what do i do to fix it?
That is a nice sculpted clavicle...shoutout to Alkaline Trio.
Why do you almost always make your figures flying/jumping when you pose them?
Love this Kitty fig but don't need or want the others so will hope for some kind of single reissue down the line.
That Kitty Pryde head looks like Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street
I just want Shadowcat to get a separate release...
I just don't love the smiling faces on Megan and Shadowcat. While a smiling face works for Megan it just isn't quite what I would have hoped for. As for Kitty?

What kind of stands do you use for your Marvek Legends figures? :)
I really like this three pack I might pick it up
I almost got this set for the shadow cat but I rather kitty pride.
Great review merry Christmas
You should make a custom
Literally only buying this for Shadowcat tbh lol
I'd like to extend a happy holidays to you and your family it's been a while since I've seen a vid but I'd like to say with these new Marvel legends that are coming out I'm gonna have to step down
i just wish they could find a way to make the hair more pliable...i guess a softer plastic might not age well.
This is a good 3pack
I like this set
I’m Happy to finally get Shadowcat.
So awesome 🔥😎
How is Cap Britain's right (his right) arm on yours? My figure's arm comes right off. The Meggan figure's face reminds me of Myrna Hansen.
Also, My Shadowcat's left (her left) arm has either cracked or extra plastic in her shoulder joint in the armpit that makes her arm wobbly. Is yours like that, too?
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
