[Electric Turahk]

Just got the McFarlane Connor and Edward... Almost got Haytham just to complete the family, but just couldn't bring myself to after hearing nothing but bad things. Maybe eventually.

Connor is the worst of the two. He's not horrible, but... I just don't feel like I can do much with him. Nevermind that the coattails aren't pliable, his legs hardly move to begin with. As the man who runs through the treetops, I want to be able to get him into dynamic poses.

Edward's better, but not by a whole lot really. For one, he's got a mid-torso cut and his coattails are a little more pliable. But his legs themselves are still rather limited by the really stiff crotch piece (but not nearly as badly as Connor's). I also wish he came with some pistols. Mine also has a really, really weird right eye, so although his hood can come off (unlike the other two figures' hood/hat), I'll be leaving it on.

They both look fantastic, to me, at least. And when it comes down to it they will end up on a shelf. I've wanted an Assassin's Creed collection for a LONG time. NECA stuff was just always too hard for me to get ahold of. And when I started to become serious, AC3 came out and there was no news from them on it.... I wanted to make sure I'd be able to get all of the Assassins first. Then the McFarlane announcement came...

Well, I'll say they aren't bad for starting a collection. I just sincerely hope we get an Ezio, Altair, and more down the line, and that they really make improvements as they go.
