Marvel Excalibur! Oh how I love thee.
Hasbro has released Excalibur! in a 3-pack action figure set and it looks SO GOOD, look at these sweet babies! I love them! There's even a little Lockheed!
HOWEVER, don't think it's escaped my notice that there is NO NIGHTCRAWLER and that also there is NO RACHEL SUMMERS/PHOENIX included in the package. There's no Alistair Stuart either, although he was never part of the line-up line-up, you know? The official line-up. He was just there to be a nearly-age-appropriate crush for Kitty and get dragged around a bunch. And no WIDGET? Well, I never!
But seriously, it's baffling that there's a Moira McTaggert but not Rachel Summers in Excalibur action figure. I mean, Moira looks incredibly good, I love it, but she sure isn't Rachel. There's some absolutely amazing Rachel figures out there and they're all custom.
I just... one of THE most iconic comic book moments is Kitty Pryde trying to figure out how to get into Rachel's Phoenix suit, and how she takes it off to pee. Kitty solves this conundrum by using her phasing powers to turn insubstantial inside the suit, then firming herself up. She's nothing if not clever.
