A solid quality 6 figure boxed set for all Alpha Flight fans.
This is a 6 pack of Marvel Legends figures that are based on the Marvel Comics super team Alpha Flight.This is a beautiful set, that contains all the major characters from Alpha Flight that have not been released in the modern Marvel Legends era (Puck was a "build a figure" chase figure from a X-Men series released over a decade ago, and this one I believe is an updated sculpt of that figure). Other Alpha Flight members Guardian and Sasquatch are available elsewhere (Guardian is a part of the Wendigo Build-a-Figure series of X-Men figures released in mid-2019, and Sasquatch was the Build-a-Figure from a Deadpool figure series from 2018).It comes in a display box like the A-Force set does, and the sculpts are well done. You can display this box easy, and clearly see the figures inside.The one drawback I have here is a lack of accessories for the figures. For example, NorthStar and Aurora have a power where if they touch or hold hands they produce a bright flash of light, but there is not an "open hand" piece for NorthStar to use to reproduce this ability in figure form with Aurora, who does have one of her hands sculpted as "open". Shaman could have been given the same clip-on "energy patterns" for his hands that many figures, from Doctor Strange to Dazzler to Havok to Adam Warlock among others, have all had in some variation (same piece, different colors for those figures), and even the A-Force set gave Elsa Bloodstone shotguns to use with her figure. A minor nitpick I know, but if you have read Alpha Flight comics over the years, this ability by the twins is noted there several times. So one "star" off for lack of accessories, but otherwise this is a solid quality 6 figure boxed set for all Alpha Flight fans. I could easily still give this set five stars due to its overall quality, but I feel accessories for some of these figures should have been included.I saved up my gift cards to purchase this set, and I am not disappointed. It comes in a white box storage box that was solidly sealed and protected the actual display box. Perfect for long term storage.These sets go quick, so if you want one for the current price from Amazon, jump on this now. It is already showing up on other auction sites for double the current cost from Amazon.

Alpha Flight here to fight
Alpha Flight... Nuff’ said. So here’s the breakdown, with this set and how it’s priced, you’re basically getting a legend for free. Price wise, that’s not bad at all. The set itself is beautiful, the figures are pretty cool, I especially like Puck and Snowbird. I might be a little biased though because Snowbird is my favorite Alpha Flight character. My only complaint with this set is some of the figures aren’t the best quality that legends usually delivers, so watch out for that if you’re after this set for rough play with kids. If you’re just collecting legends I recommend this to add to your collection. The box it comes in is worth it alone, because the artwork and front panel piece with the window inside to look at all of them is very nice. All in all get this set because you know you want it, if you’re a fan of X-men, you gotta have some respect for Wolvie’s original team.

Very nice box set.
I cannot express how much happy i am to complete the alpha flight team and this was genius to release the rest of the members in a box set. Now there not without there issue's, the left eye on puck is dropping down on mine or it's low compared to the right. The elbow joint's on the female figures in this box set seems very brittle and stiff in some cases specifically on aurora, just feels like i'll break those elbows in half. Also with the female's they are incredibly hard to stand for some reason and lastly the left knee on my shaman is a bit loose. So if you can look past all that then yes i would still highly recommend this box set for any true marvel legends collector especially if you are looking to complete alpha flight.

Be careful opening
I love Marvel and Xmen and any team associated with the Xmen stories. This was a must grab. Figures are painted well and have good articulation. The only downside is be careful taking them out the packaging. I purchased this September of 2020 and am just now opening it. Annoyingly Auroras arm broke of immediately after removing her from the package. *sigh* wish I could get a new figure of her might just have to wait for second hand. Other than that a worthy purchase.

Can't go wrong here!
Got this in the mail today and couldn't be more pleased. First off, it came in early. Second, the box was not crushed. And lastly, the paint apps on each figure is clean! Puck is about 3" tall and the rest are 6"+. At the price point of $110, I'd say it's fair. $20 each figure is reasonable and Puck would be at $10. It's really an awesome set that would complete the whole Alpha Flight Team; the Sasquatch is a BAF and the Guardian is from the Wendigo wave. Overall, I'm satisfied with this set. It's an Amazon Exclusive so, ya can't go wrong with that.

A great way to assemble some rare figures in one place
When I purchased this set, it fluctuated in the $80 range, which was great. Much like the A-Force set, you get a lot for your money at full price. Some were re-issues, some were retooling but all were great to add to my collection.It was thoughtfully packaged, so it arrived mint in box. But I open my figures. I saw not paint issues or build/articulation problems. Add this to your Sasquatch BAF and Guardian figure and you are ready to hunt down Wolverine.

A slightly obscure team from Marvel in an awesome figure set!
Alpha Flight was at its best when John Byrne created them, and this amazing set reflects those characters superbly well. It's unlikely that Hasbro would've gotten around to the full team like this otherwise, so it's great that they appeared in this Amazon set. If you can round up Guardian and the Build-A-Figure Sasquatch once you have this set, you'll have an amazing Alpha Flight team!

Excellent addition to my collection
Hasbro has done good with this set. As a Marvel Legends collector, I am pleased to to have these figures to complete my Alpha Flight team. As Hasbro and Toy Biz had previously released Guardian and Sasquatch. Puck himself was previously released as a build a figure a few years back and was selling for a few hundred dollars alone, just for that itself this set is well worth the price. All figures have great articulation and display well. Highly recommended.

Canada's Superhero Team
The Alpha Flight box set was a surprise to many Marvel; Legends fans when it was announced at Fan Expo Canada back in August 2019. The previous year, they debuted the Guardian figure (Alpha Flight's founder ) and showed off the Sasquatch BAF from a previous wave. This time they gave us six Alpha Flight members in one set, which made me happy. With the rather short announce time to debut of the set, it is obvious that there di a lot of reuse of figure parts, but all of them are comic accurate to their most iconic looks. the set has six characters, Vindicator, Snowbird, Shaman, Aurora, Northstar and Puck (who is the smallest of the figure and the only reissue from a BAF previously released). The figures all look great and the box nicely illustrated and includes a quick bio for each character.My only gripe is that some interchangeable hands for some of the figures would be nice but other than that, this is an excellent set. Most of the characters in this set haven't had a figure since the Toy Biz days and it is nice to see these characters get their turn being made in plastic.

Worth it
It honestly a great set of figures for the price(I paid $118 with tax) the quality issue I'd say is Vindicator, her legs and upper torso are maybe marbled funny and is a pinkish/yellowish colour but it isn't a huge issue and could possibly just be limited to me. Puck could have more pose abilities the worst is probably his hands though which you only can swivel not angle but either than that his joints aren't the usual marvel pin joints which is nice and makes him real smooth. Accessories would be nice but either than that it's so worth it.

Nice Set!
Pricey but worth it as a nearly life long fan of the Alpha Flight comic, and these figures most closely resemble John Byrne’s design. With a separate a Guardian figure release that I’ve gotten, and looking for a good deal on the pricey build-a-figure Sasquatch, all we really need is a Box, a Marrina, and a Talisman figure.

Alright set
Overall I’m happy with the purchase but there is room for improvement for not only the shipping of the product itself.Pros:-Great set for Marvel legends collectors-The set had good paint over all with crisp lines which I have seen as an issue with other Alpha Flight boxes.-shipping was fastCons:-box was shipped with shipping stickers permanent marker on the front. (As a collector that isn’t good)-one of the figures legs look like they were made with a different shade of white plastic which makes it look cheap and awkward.

Even Puck is new!
Everything in this set is awesome. The only hiccup is the oddly masked maple leaf on Vindicator's chest. Hasbro should have worked that one out a bit better. As mentioned in the headline, Puck has been retooled, so it isn't a straight repack of the X-Men build-a-figure. This new Puck features a new scale-accurate head. This set was worth every penny. The Hasbro team delivered!
