Beast has a great looking pose. I think they learned a lot from how Sabertooth turned out back in the beginning. His stance is odd, but works for Beast. He only moves at the head and right arm. The costume is well done but the face doesn't look right. It's not quite the Astonishing look. I can't put my finger on what is wrong, but it doesn't work for me. Not a bad figure, but not great. C+
Avalanche is big, almost as big as Rhino which doesn't make sense to me. He only moves at the arms. His pose is interesting for the stone he's standing on, which is one way to show his powers. My biggest complaint is his face. Looking down on it, it's fine. But looking straight on, he looks afraid which isn't how I want my villains to be. C+
Both figures are fine and at least this pack makes sense.

Avalance
Avalance looks okay. His rock is a good way represting his powers. Only I wish that Avalance's rock was about the size on the pack. A
Beast
Beast is a little bit better. You can stand him in about 10 crazy ways. Kinda like the two other Beasts. A

Definitely not my favorite pack:
Avalanche is the better of the 2, but seems kind of plain, and really looks alot like Juggernaut. I'm not super familiar with his character, but I have seen him a few times, and I think they could have done a better job with him. Seems like a rushed pack to me. Also, Jestergoblin is dead on, he DOES look afraid. C-
I do NOT like this beast. The face is too odd, it has no toughness whatsoever, and even as a cat, he's bizarre looking, and they tried to make him too cute. He should be a care bear or something, not a Marvel superhero. This figure, IMO, is the closest to looking like a custom someone whipped up that I've seen. Also, either Avalanche is too big, or Beast is too small, or both. I don't have this pack, I'm only going on pictures, but as of now, I have zero desire to own it. D

 Very slowly the X-Men rogue gallery is getting filled out. Avalanche is a fine figure and brings us so close to a complete Brotherhood. Beast is interesting and a decent attempt at something different but his figure’s face just feels really off to me for some reason I can’t quite place. Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=6178 |
