McFarlane's Assassin's Creed Series 3 pics

Pics of Series 3 of McFarlane's Assassin's Creed figures.

Altair

Nice touch with the missing finger on the hand with the wrist-blade.

Ezio (Revelations)

Felt they chose the best outfit for Ezio, across the 3 games. That said, I would like to see a few variations of him from AC2 and AC Brotherhood, in future series. 

Edward Kenway (Mayan Outfit)

While some figure variants can be rather random, I thought this was a good choice for a variant. Players will definitely remember this outfit as a unlockable for completing all Mayan Stelae puzzles. 

Definitely an excellent choice as you can feel the connection to it, instead of randomly choosing from one of the many outfits Edward had in the game.

Ah Tabai

Probably the reason why this is my favourite of all the Assassin's Creed lines. It may lack the presence and detail that collectors can get from the bigger figures but the inclusion of minor Assassin characters that aren't the main protagonists, makes this line special. 

A true collection for the Assassin's Creed fans, I would say.

Arno

Nice selection of accessories to show the different modes of the Phantom Blade. The likeness to Arno could be improved though.

That's it. Solid 5 figures in this Series 3.

Each figure comes with a code for some XP in AC Initiates, except for the Arno figure, which had something a bit more special. 

The code unlocked the Master Assassin Outfit which was designed by Todd McFarlane himself. Take a look at the video below for a good look at the outfit.



Cool stuff! I like that Ubisoft are including, a Legend like Todd McFarlane's work, in the game. Assassin's Creed comics in the future?
