I do like how McFarlane is making more characters (dear lord NECA made too many Ezios), but at the same time, the sculpts really aren't nearly as good. Especially with the joint pins and whatnot showing. But I'll still probably try to/want to get them all...

Assassin's Creed was the first series I played on the Xbox. I fell in love almost instantly. I have really enjoyed it the whole way through, even if there were some bumps along the way. Revelations being a somewhat boring copy of Brotherhood, for example. Or that horrible ending to ACIII. But I like the premise of Black Flag, although it definitely leaves me wanting to know who our present-day protagonist will be that we're playing Edward through...

What I hate about McFarlane is their insistance on using PVC construction and all the associated qc problems from it. Stuck joints, fragile parts, et al. I have some of their HALO figures, pretty decent figures but some are prone to the problems mentioned above.

What I liked about Revelations was the assassination abilities added to Ezio. You can kill Shakulu in the end from an extremely high altitude...in the previous games you would have just straight up died on impact. The ending battle was incredible too. I was very impressed by it.

Gotta admit, I haven't felt inclined to finish up Desmond's animus memories on Animus Island, they were kind of boring and I don't think they really added to the game.

Otherwise, Revelations felt, as some of you have stated, like a copy of Brotherhood with more assassination techniques and the Animus Island. It just didn't feel as fun. I thought the Altaire Codex flashbacks were great though. Thing is that could've just been made as a DLC bundle of side-missions for any of the previous games.

I hope that McFarlane makes the following:

• Ezio(Armor of Brutus from Brotherhood)
• Ezio(Armor of Altair from ACII)
• Ezio(Armor of Ishak Pasha from Revelations)
• Cesare Borgia
• Rodrigo Borgia as Pope
• Al Mualim
• Robert de Sable
• Abbas
• Old Man Hermit Altair(return to Masayaf/Abbas assassination flashback in Revelations)
