Well, here goes with another series of figures from the excellent McFarlane Toys NHL Figures. This time round we only get two netminders - Patrick Roy and Nikolai Khabibulin - accompanied seven skaters: Teemu Selanne, Vincent Lecavalier, Niklas Lidstrom, Anson Carter, Markus Naslund, Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman. The inclusion of Roy, Lemieux and Yzerman marks the first time in the range that a player has been re-sculpted for a later series (if you exclude the Team Canade Sakic which was Messier with a different head on!). The most notable figure is one I’ve been waiting for them to do for a while and I’m just gutted they chose Stevie Y for this and not Mario and that’s one with the Cup - looks great in the pictures. Having said that, the Mario figure doesn’t look too shabby and he will be made into a 12 inch figure along with Patrick Roy - both use the sculpts shown here. This series also marks the first sighting of Teemu Selanne in an Av’s uniform and is unusual that three clubs are represented twice. Overall though, a great addition to the series! PD - 09/09/03 |
