Angel
Much like Magneto, Angel works very well for displaying his power. By standing about a half inch taller, he looks over other figures. His wings do look a little odd though, they appear more like Archangel's metal wings than Warren's feather wings. Still, even with sharing arms with Magneto, this figure looks unique and different. Solid figure over all. B
Colossus
Everyone's favorite metallic Russian, Colossus is stuck in the mind set of Galactic Heroes. His squat stance doesn't work for the character who should tower over most other X-Men. He also doesn't feel bulky enough and his legs are missing the lines on his skin. This figure could be so much better. D

Angel: Good flying pose, nice costume. The only real complaint is his wings look metal. It would look great on an Archangel repaint, but they don't convey feathery Angel wings.
Figure Grade: A- (Almost Perfect)
Colossus: Good tough pose to bad he's crouching. The metallic paint looks good, but his eyes are weird. Why did they paint his eyes blue, and white it just looks silly. The costume is what you would expect him in, and he stands perfectly.
Figure Grade: B+ (Above Average)
Overall Grade: A- (Strongest Pack This Wave)

Note: This was my very first SHS set. I am quite impressed with Angel but not Colossus:
Angel
This figure of Angel I am quite impressed with. His costume, his wings, and his face are well detailed. A good impression of this first figure of Angel. A+
Colossus
Colossus does not feel right to me. Plus his pose is in the pose of the Galactic Heroes. He should be taller than most other X-Men. C-

Not a bad set. Angel is cool. I like his red outfit much more than his blue so that's a positive. He also has a nice relatively neutral flying pose.
Colossus isn't too bad. His face looks odd but I still prefer this Colossus over the later "throwing" Colossus

 Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=1910The second blast from the past! Angel is still a good figure but Colossus is just bad. The sculpt, scale, paint and scale issues all add up to a poor figure. |
