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.

IIRC NECA came as far as making a sculpt of Connor but was not able to get the license for ACIII since McFarlane scored the license.

Sad to hear how the McFarlane toys turned out. I expected limited movement but was expecting more given how well their Halo figures are articulated.

The PAKs look good but I am not longer a big fan of that line. The toyline that lends itself best to Assassin's Creed IMO would have to be D-Arts. I'm pretty sure if Tamashii made AC figures they would take range of motion and super articulation without being hindered into consideration.

It's just a damn shame to see Assassin's Creed figures that aren't "agile".
