I wanted this figure when it was out in the first line of x-men classics, but it was impossible to find. I few years latter I saw a picture of it on the back of the ultimate nightcrawler box. I few weeks later I managed to find it, I bought, and it's awsome. I own the marvel legends angel as well. This one is better, because the wings actually bend and are longer. I agree that the missle lauching sucks. But if its for show then it doesn't really matter. Great figure and highly posable.

The body of this figure looks great. It is also highly articulated, including at the toes and fingers.
The wings look awesome as well, even though at first it really looks like they attach backwards; they have a very swept back look to them that you cannot see in any of the pictures on the package. The wings are also extremely heavier than the figure's body, and the only way it will free stand is with the wings in the down position making a tripod stance.
The issues with the figure are in the durability. The wings do not attach strongly enough to overcome their great weight, and finally had to be permanently glued in.
The biggest problem, however, was in the "missile firing action." The missle launching is accomplished by a coiled piece of foil paper on the back of the missle bullet, which is pushed in like a spring and released with a little latch on the wings.
The two foil "springs" broke within 15 minutes. One was broken upon opening the figure, and after I spent 10 minutes fixing it, it just promptly fell apart again. The other worked a few times before the foil got out of place and kinked up.
If you're buying these for kids and not display, don't expect the missles to lauch for very long unless they will be very very careful.
