Advent calendar ICFTTC#7: The Northern Avenger, eh? Alpha Flight...

I needed to get the Canada jokes off my chest before the reveiw, eh? I think that's the last one, bub! I'm sorry for the culturally insensitive remarks... NO! THAT WASN'T A CANADIAN JOKE! I'M GENUINELY APOLOGIZING! William Shatner, Tom Green, Justin Bieber, ham that thinls it's bacon, maple syrup, hockey, Ryan Reynolds! Now that I got that out of my system, let's begin.

Alpha flight began as a team of Heroes inspired by The Fantastic Four but ended up becoming somethong closer to the Canadian Avengers. Led by James Hudson, the team has defended Canada's interests against superpowered threats... it's a Canadian Super powered team, of course, Wolverine has been a member at some point... Seriously, in what team he hasn't been in?

Boxset contains the following 6 members:
-Northstar and Aurora: the "half fairy" mutant team whose powers involve light and flight. Northstar was gay long before Iceman was TURNED Gay by Jean Grey.
-Shaman, he's like a Canadian Doctor Strange...
-Snowbird, she's Marvel's Beast Boy, but she can also have visions of the past?
-Puck, an even shorter than Wolverine badass Canadian. He's a super concentrated human. His dwarfism gives him superstrength.
-Vindicator, she has a supersuit...

As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of the team, BUT since I have Guardian and Sasquatch, might as well complete the team...

Articulation:
Snowbird, Aurora, and Vindicator are on standard Female bodies. Nothing hinders the articulation on these figures. not even Snowbird's cape.
  Northstar and Shaman  have normal male bodies.  I believe Shaman shares his body with a Cyclops while North Star shares his with Kaine. This means that Northstar has added butterfly cuts to his torso.
Puck's articulation is closer to a Marvel Universe figure than a Marvel Legends.  he seems to be a redo of the 2009 build a figure. Sadly, this means outdated articulation. It's functional, but in these last 10 years, there have been a couple of improvements in articulation.
Snowbird: 4.0
Aurora:4.0
Vindicator: 4.0
Northstar: 4.5
Shaman: 4.0
Puck: 4.0

Paint and sculpt:
Some of the characters have some crisp paint jobs mainly shaman but others were not so lucky mainly Vindicator. The flaws in paint are in super obvious in some figures by the others they kind of are. Main nitpick of mine is Vindicator's red does not match Guardian's.
The heads are what sell the characters. They even gave Northstar and Aurora the pointy elf ears.
Puck, being a different size, and a BAF reuse, is functional.
Snowbird: 4.5
Aurora:4.5
Vindicator: 3.5
Northstar: 4.5
Shaman: 4.5

Puck: 4.0

Overall:
I'll Use individual ratings first and then use the average for the whole package followed by my final thoughts.

Snowbird: 4.25
Aurora:4.25
Vindicator: 3.75
Northstar: 4.5
Shaman: 4.25
Puck: 4.0

Box Set: 4.17 as the final score. It's a nice box set, not gonna lie... even if it's of characters that I'm not necessarily super mega hardcore fan of.
