The original highlander movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. I am thrilled to have this collectible toys. Very detailed and very accurate from the big screen version. Looking at them in my display cabinet somehow brings that memory of my younger years when i wondered how it would really be if certain individuals can live through the ages.

This review is from: NECA Highlander Medieval Box Set (McLeod and Kurgan) (Toy)

Being suitably impressed by NECA's Castlevania collection (see my review of that for details), I decided to purchase the Highlander box set as well and while it was a bit more expensive than I'd like, I think it was well worth it.

With Connor MacLeod you get a fairly articulated character with a VERY striking resemblance to Christopher Lambert. NECA seems dedicated to doing faithful reproductions and it shows from the design on his kilt to the clan MacLeod sword looking just like the one in the movie. His hands are removable and on a peg joint, his arms have the cut-elbows so they can rotate around, his shoulders are ball-jointed but his cloak inhibits extreme movements with it on, his head is removable on a peg and has a fair range of motion that is, again, inhibited by his bulky rubber cloak. His legs have one ball joint at the top of the thigh, though unless you were to cut some slits in his kilt he cannot move his legs much. Finally, his torso does turn somewhat and might even bend but the rubberized kilt interferes with much of his motion.

Overall, you can get him into some decent battle poses and if you remove his cloak (gently pop off his head to remove it) you can get much more interesting sword poses. Connor comes with:

1. The clan MacLeod sword.
2. A battered old shield.
3. A support stand that looks like a piece of the Scottish highlands.


The Kurgan is inarguably the better detailed of the two, with actual feather-like material for his helmet and shoulder pads and and awesome level of attention paid to his armor in the film. The likeness to the film's Clancy Brown is unmistakable and he has his rotten teeth bared at Connor. These enhanced details come at a trade off, however. The Kurgan cannot move his legs at all, even at the hip, so you will find it necessary to keep him attached to his base for the most part. His arms, however, have nearly the same range of motion as Connor's. The hands rotate at the forearm, the elbow is cut to rotate, and the shoulders are ball joints that are somewhat inhibited by the skull pauldrons at the top. His upper torso rotates slightly AND bends, and he can turn left or right at the waist. His head is on a peg and has a reasonable range of motion considering the size of his helmet.

The Kurgan cuts an imposing form when placed opposite Connor or even other NECA line 7-inch characters, and for that reason fans shouldn't be disappointed. The Kurgan comes with:

1. His sword.
2. A larger stand as his legs are molded in a wide, specific pose.


The only things I'd really like to see NECA do with Highlander would be to release a fully-articulated Kurgan from 1985, complete with the pins in his neck, and perhaps a fully-articulated Nash to go with it. As a collector it's fine to just leave these in their pre-designed poses, but I'm a big kid and occasionally I like to take them and put them in more exciting poses, so it would be nice to see NECA make a version of the Kurgan with the level of articulation of their Dracula or Simon Belmont.

Overall, these are great for fans of the films and collectors who like figures that actually bear good likenesses to their film counterparts.
