"...I would also go with smiling head but I just think execution of that smile is little bit off, I would just go with simple closed mouth smile because it way less risky to do unlike grinning smile .... still find something unnatural about her smile but that's still nitpick..."

I don't think its a nitpick....maybe they should've had a static head (but then that's a lot of hair to do over). I guess I see both sides...its her normal look, but yeah it can be seen as unnatural, almost vapid, Steppford Wife like.

Yeah her body came out well....I was really worried they would use their "default" teen scrawny mold (ha!), but happily they didn't. They didn't go with the pinless mod, and they should have given her the swivel biceps and double elbows. Still, its a great figure 'cause its basically right off the page; I wouldve preferred some more articulation to make her more agile. Also don't have a problem with the smiling head, because this is how she was often portrayed by Alan Davis.

I would love someone to interview him and ask him what he thinks about the figure!

I would also go with smiling head but I just think execution of that smile is little bit off, I would just go with simple closed mouth smile because it way less risky to do unlike grinning smile but I really cannot blame them its very very hard to sculpt and paint grinning smile on the face and make it look naturalistic, often results aren't too good and characters end up crazy or goofy looking, which works great for Joker/Harley types not so much for DCUC Stargirl or Legion pack Superboy. While Meggan Is leagues above them I still find something unnatural about her smile but that's still nitpick.

I'm still not sure about Cap but I'm more inclined to track down Meggan now, even though I don't care that much for that smiling head execution but they did good job with hair and actually picked right body for her.

They explained it when the full set was revealed. They just hadn't gotten the figure properly sculpted. That's why it took so long to reveal. They had to settle for a 3-pack instead of a 5 pack because Rachel was taking too long to sculpt.

I really don't remember that. Thanks. It makes sense they would say something. I wonder if they explained why Alpha Flight didnt have Marrina, when that came out.

You know, I gotta ask the question....why didn't they include the Rachel Phoenix? There's no "rule", far as I can tell, that says a set has to be either 3 or 5. I don't recall either of the team saying anything about why they're not including her for the box set.

This is not my favorite version of Kitty though it is mostly accurate for the period. I just don't understand why they insisted on doing the figure on a version of the teen buck. At the time she was a full grown adult. She should not be that small.

She was no older than 15 when she joined Excalibur, and listed as something like 52 or 54 at the time!

I really hope that we get a Lionheart one day.

I'm not even familiar with the character, but her design is perfect. So toyetic

Lionheart wasn't a bad character, plus it would be another Avenger
