Everyone’s favorite neighborhood wall-crawler returns in this first ever Marvel HeroClix set dedicated to Marvel’s most popular character.

The new expansion also includes subthemes from Marvel’s key Dark Reign and Siege crossover events. Also, once again WizKids has created a “Buy It By the Brick” promotion that provides consumers with a way to earn the exclusive Spider-Man: First Appearance HeroClix Figure that recreates the cover to Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of the legendary webslinger.

More figures for C3G ;)

[Sherman Davies]

I'm beginning to think I'll never be done making customs.

[badgermaniac]

Other figures leaked so far...

Thanks Badger !!

I haven't played Heroclix in years, but I've been buying singles for use with other Superhero games. This is the first set I'm tempted to buy by the case.

[Hidicul]

Any idea on a release date yet?

[Adam Souza]

Beyond it being in August 2010, I don't think they've given out any more specific information about that.

[Hidicul]

Well seems like Gen Con is most likely time to release something in august. To bad I can't go.

[Majora's Incarnation]

Whoa, I thought Heroclix was done for. Or was that Horrorclix? Mage Knight? Which one stopped producing?

[Cavalier]

Whoa, I thought Heroclix was done for. Or was that Horrorclix? Mage Knight? Which one stopped producing?
Heroclix was done, but it was bought up by a new company and given new life. Horrorclix is the same basic company. Mage Knight is no longer in production.

[tcglkn]

So there will now be more HeroClix figures? Thats great! I look forward to seeing what the C3G does with some of these figures.

[Wolvie]

is there anyone who've found the list of characters from the set, it's mentioned to be on their homepage on the poster, but can't find it..

[Balantai]

I hope there's an affordable Green Goblin in this set. :crosses fingers:

[REGULUS]

is there anyone who've found the list of characters from the set, it's mentioned to be on their homepage on the poster, but can't find it..

Neither can I - and I am desperate to find out if there is going to be a Speed figure released in this wave so that I can complete my custom Young Avenger squad - my OCD demands it! He's the only one missing and I found someone who will repaint Inertia (from B&B set) as they are close in appearance, but I would rather an "official" one.

[IAmBatman]

Nothing teased so far that they don't have other good options out there for except Rulk, I believe ...

If this one isn't a rare, I'm going to buy one and paint it green :mrgreen:

I think I will to, I like this sculpt better then MS's. I'm pretty sure they'll make it a rare though:?

Anyone going to explain why the Hulk is red, and seems to have gone a bit sadistic?

I'm pretty sure that Red Hulk is an entirely different character than the Hulk, but I could be wrong.

[Adam Souza]

Red Hulk is a new villain. There is also Red She Hulk as well.

[Cavalier]

Red Hulk (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Red+Hulk)

[RabSheila]

Anyone going to explain why the Hulk is red?

The Red Hulk is just a really embarrassed Green Hulk. Think about it. If you’re constantly busting out of your clothes and breaking stuff wouldn’t you be embarrassed?

[Majora's Incarnation]

Yeah, that would make sense, 'cept his biceps are three times bigger than my head. I would be proud to show that stuff off :D

[RabSheila]

Good point. Maybe he's embarrassed because he's got gas or something.

Man.

That's a scary thought. The Hulk with uncontrollable gas issues.

Isn't that why there's a huge crater in Arizona? :o

He looks like Marvel Scape Hulk on steroids...

A LOT of steroids...

[DarkJawa]

the release as we know it right now is August 4th. at least thats what we were told on HCRealms boards. Right now most of us Heroclix players are waiting for the Blackest Night Starter set to hit stores, it was pushed back to June 9th.

[Vanilla_Thunder]

Some questions I saw that I can answer:

1) where is the set list?
- The full set list will likely not be available until after the set releases in August. Wizkids has been notoriously stingy with the previews, only giving about 8 full dial previews before the set releases

2)Red Hulk rarity?
-It's a Super Rare, not even a Rare. It will likely be upwards of $30.00 for a while after the set is released for the individual figure.

[DarkJawa]

the super rares usually have a silver ring around the base. judging by the picture available, I don't see a silver ring, so Rhulk may be just a regular rare.

[Adam Souza]

I've been out of collecting Clix for a while.

So let me get this straight:

Rares have the set logo in Silver.

Super Rares have the Silver Ring around their base (like the old uniques used to)

[clonedpoop]

Nope. Here's how it breaks down.
=====NEW SET=====
-Silver Ring - No longer denotes rarity, but still limits you to one copy on your team.
-Common - Logo in white.
-Uncommon - Logo in green.
-Rare - Logo in Silver (kinda looks like white, but you can tell the difference when compared to a common).
-Super Rare - Logo in Gold.
-LE and mail away - Logo in Bronze.


=====OLD SETS=====
-Yellow, Blue, Red Rings - Rookie, Experience, Veteran versions of a character. Set rarity ranging from common to rare.
-Silver Ring - Uniques (Equivalent to super rare). The Silver ring denotes you can only have one of that clix on your team.
-Bronze Ring - Limited Editions, Mail-aways, etc.

[Adam Souza]

Thanks for the Clarification CP.

Any idea what the Rare/Super Rare distribution is like ?

(in the old days it was 4-5 rares a case, then it got bumbed up to about 8 rares a case)

[Eclipse]

Curious to see what new figures we have to work with in this set. It's probably a bit naive for me to hope for a Cosmo sculpt, though they did throw my favorite gun toting raccoon in last set, so... maybe...

[Wolvie]

It's August now right? anybody knows when it will be out?

[johnny139]

It's August now right? anybody knows when it will be out?

It's been pushed back to September 8th, I believe.

[jcmcminis]

I hope their is a Spider-Man Noir figure in the set to go with the custom of him I made.

[johnny139]

Colors are rarity; black is Common, green is Uncommon, Gray is Rare, Sienna is Super Rare, Dark Red is Chase, Navy is Limited Edition. Prices will probably be cheap for Commons ($2 tops), same range for Uncommons (maybe up to like $3), a tad pricey for Rares ($2 to $5ish), and Super Rares could cost anywhere from $20 to $40. As for Chases - well, you could end up paying up to $130 for a Chase. Not sure about the Limited Editions... depends on how they're given out and such.

I wave goodbye to my dreams of a cheap Deadpool. :(

[IAmBatman]

hmm, an affordable Carnage is all I'm really seeing there that's exciting.

[johnny139]

I'm glad there's a new Scarlet Spider; I'm not a huge fan of the sculpt they're using, but the only previous one is $12 and that's a bit steep for me. The new one'll probably be a lot cheaper.

Also, we're getting Mary Jane, Jonah, and a few new generics (like the Symbiote!). That, and Code: Blue, which has some nice custom opportunities (being a specially trained anti-super police force; gaining attack against non-human opponents?).

[IAmBatman]

I guess I'm not a big enough Marvel fan to get excited about any of those ... :-P

[johnny139]

Well, that's only fair. YouAreBatman.

But really, the generics are what I'm most excited for. Squads are hard to come by in MarvelScape, but more Researchers and Nurses and Muggers means more Common figures, and that's always welcome.

[Sherman Davies]

Agreed; a wider variety of bystander minis is a very good thing. As a Spidey fan, I can't wait to get my hands on Mary Jane and J. Jonah Jameson, but I guess this means my dream of an Aunt May mini is now dead. If she didn't make this set, they'll never make her.

[IAmBatman]

I guess it's cool to have those figures for scenarios ... but I just can't think of good skirmish game uses for them.

[Sherman Davies]

I would've thought that, being more of a Superscape player than a mixed-game player, your games would usually be scenario based rather than kill-em-all.

[johnny139]

Aha - word has it that the last four are NOT Chases, and just Super Rare; Web of Spider-Man won't have any Chase figures. And I wouldn't be surprised if future sets start to tone down, if not entirely remove, Chases.

Fantastic news, I think. I've yet to see a Chase go for under, like, $60. Too late for some figures (Alfred, for example, and the Black Lanterns), but, good to know overall.

[IAmBatman]

I would've thought that, being more of a Superscape player than a mixed-game player, your games would usually be scenario based rather than kill-em-all.

I've got about 61 C3G figures to use ... and about five C3G scenarios ... why would I go scenario based?

Oh, do the C3G scenarios restrict the players to specific figures? I didn't know that.

Also, I figured you used to make up a lot of your own "just-for-fun" scenarios pre-C3G.

[IAmBatman]

Nope - I'm not an RPGer, I'm a fighter. :-D

[jcmcminis]

I hope their is a Spider-Man Noir figure in the set to go with the custom of him I made.

Yeah I thought maybe they would have done that to sort of Tie it in with the Shattered Dimensions Game

[artemiscorso]

I don't know, maybe I read too many Spidey comics in the late 80's early 90's, but I'm kind of excited by some of the figures on the list. There is the aforementioned Carnage, as well as some good minor villains/heros I
was hoping for like puma, cardiac, prowler, and jackal. Not to mention a new Nightcrawler sculpt(hopefully better than the flailing bamf cloud one, and less expensive than the other one). Plus a Mary Jane sculpt. How cool is that.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, if the Nightcrawler is a nice one and an affordable one, I might have to pick that up.

[Sherman Davies]

Sorry to disappoint you, guys...

[IAmBatman]

Annnnnd nevermind. I'd rather have that pole on the battlefield than a whole wall.

[artemiscorso]

Aarrgghhh! Sherman are you sure you didn't just make that out of playdough this morning to mess with us? I hope that's not indicative of the sculpt quality of the rest of the set.

[Eclipse]

Meh...
meh....
meh....
meh....
Hopefully the new Sandman isn't atrocious...
meh...
meh...
meh...
Nice Deadpool....
meh...
meh...


049 Groot

GROOT!? GROOOOOOOT!!!!!!! :lol:

[johnny139]

Annnnnd nevermind. I'd rather have that pole on the battlefield than a whole wall.

You think that's bad? Spider-Man, Black Suit Spider-Man, Venom-as-Spider-Man, AND Scarlet Spider are all perched on the wall.

http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/022_Spiderman_BlackSuit.jpg

See? Two more just like that. All different sculpts, character-wise, but the wall aspect is just annoying. The set on the whole isn't bad, though; mixed bag, as usual with HeroClix.

[IAmBatman]

Like I said - it's looking like it's just Carnage for me in this wave ...

[Balantai]

Here's a pretty cool webpage I found with a bunch of mini images for Web of Spider-Man. Be sure to check out all 6 pages.

GROOOOOOOOOOT!!!

[Sherman Davies]

Aarrgghhh! Sherman are you sure you didn't just make that out of playdough this morning to mess with us? I hope that's not indicative of the sculpt quality of the rest of the set.

I wish I could say yes, but nope - someone actually got paid to sculpt that figure.

Aside from the bystander characters in this set, I'm crossing my fingers that the brown-costume Wolverine is affordable.

[johnny139]

Aside from the bystander characters in this set, I'm crossing my fingers that the brown-costume Wolverine is affordable.

That's actually Daken, Wolverine's son, disguised as Wolverine during the Dark Avengers Arc. He's a Limited Edition, though... so it could be, like, a prize, or a give-away, or whatever. You won't be getting it out of a booster, though, so they won't be up for purchase at the start.

[Sherman Davies]

Now it's my turn to have my hopes dashed...

[killergoat72]

I love spiderman and all, but from what I've seen theres entireley too much in this wave/set/??? I know its spiderman based, but hammer of thor did not have this much thor did it?

[johnny139]

I dunno, I think they're STILL missing a lot of Spider-Man. No Shocker? No Hammerhead? Not enough, if you ask me... but I'm a big fan of the Spider.

For all those interested, TrollandToad has singles UP FOR PRE-ORDER (http://www.trollandtoad.com/Collectible-Miniatures-Games/5941-1285-1177p1n10.html). It'll give you a good idea of how much individual pieces will cost... though I imagine the price will go up and down a lot for the first month or so.
