More Clix to convert on the way in the future!

[Lord Pyre]

LP must not be a Connery Fan. :reapershrug:

No, I love Connery, Last Crusade was just so dumb!

[johnny139]

Well of course it's dumb, but what makes it any dumber than the other Indiana Jones movies? They're based on serials of the 1930s; they're ridiculous globetrotting adventures.

I mean, if you try and argue that Crusade was dumber than Temple of Doom I'll have to challenge you to a duel or something. Because Temple of Doom was dumb, even by Indiana Jones standards.

[tcglkn]

I was looking through this thread for any pictures of Guy and couldn't find any. Anyone have any?

Also I noticed you guys want some Orange Lantern Constucts. I think these little guys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.S.C.L.E) would be pretty good for that. (Don't know much about OLs and their constructs but they look like pretty good minis to use for Constructs)

[IAmBatman]

Heh. Muscle Men. I remember Muscle Men. The picture belies the fact that they're really more pinkish than orange, though.

[Balantai]

I also remember Muscle Men. I didn't remember them until I was looking at the Wiki page, though.

[IAmBatman]

I used Muscle Men for some of my first Heroscape customs - overpowered, handwritten customs on strips of paper when I only had RotV.

[johnny139]

I was looking through this thread for any pictures of Guy and couldn't find any. Anyone have any?

The new Guy? HERE (http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa155/elioblacknight/005-1.jpg) you go; along with Deadshot and a guy whose name I can never remember.

Also, the last three Limited Editions are announced; Troia, Impulse, and Icemaiden (http://wizkidsgames.com/blog/2010/12/13/three%e2%80%99s-company/). Nothing I'm too interested in, but... there you go.

[Balantai]

Guy might make a nice Ash Williams (Army of Darkness) conversion. I've always wanted a Bruce Campbell mini.

[Lord Pyre]

That Guy probably wouldn't make a good GL Guy proxy unfortunately. :p But the Deadshot looks awesome. I saw that there was a Deadshot in the set, and was looking all over for pictures of him. Have to compare him to the old one, but regardless, I'm really looking forward to a Deadshot card. :p

[tcglkn]

That's a bummer. He's an OL in that picture right? Any chance of an OL Guy?

Definitely rolling with the preexisting GL Guy for C3G Wave 4, though.

I would say the color was off in the picture, but the other two figures look perfectly red.

EDIT:

He's a Red Lantern with a bad paintjob.

Of course, looking at that cover, on which he seems to be based, he looks red-orange anyways.

[IAmBatman]

Me too. I don't have the figure either. But it's what we've got. :reapershrug:

[tcglkn]

So can we get a RL Guy? I think he's got a pretty sick sculpt.

[Lord Pyre]

Well, if that figure's not too expensive, I'll probably just repaint him as a GL. Sure, he'll lose the translucency, but it'd work.

So did Guy turn into a bad guy that he's a red lantern here? Or are red lanterns not bad guys?

[tcglkn]

I preordered this guy. (I thought he was a GL at the time).

[Lord Pyre]

I preordered this guy. (I thought he was a GL at the time).

You can cancel preorders... ;)

He was inducted into the red lanterns (evil, angry, etc.) for part of the siege on the red lanterns' base planet. The blue lanterns fixed him. The same thing actually happenned to Hal.

Not just a lantern, the leader/guardian for the blue lanterns. Sayd was his partner, but went off to Larfleeze so that he would help.

I saw on here that they will be in the next X-Men release. I just hope that they didn't break the teams up though. I'd rather be able to design an entire team instead of just figures from various teams. I'm really torn as to if I want Archangel's or Wolverine's team though. I think Wolverine's would be fun because he had Hulk as War, but I love Archangel, especially his dak side as Death.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I think the better chance is the newer Horsemen currently in the X-Men comics.

I got my DC75 yesterday - I had intended to wait until Christmas but the temptation was too great. Among my favorites are the Wonder Twins, Green Arrow, Red Lantern Guy Gardner (who is orange for some reason), and Atrocitus. I was also pleasantly surprised with White Lantern Wonder Woman - not my first choice WL (I wanted Superboy or Green Arrow) but she is still pretty sweet.
I can't wait to work on some new customs now: I have a Gorilla City squad for my Grodd, a Mera to work with my Aquaman, a Carol Ferris Star Sapphire to seduce my GL Hall Jordan, and a Mongul to torment my Superman.
Happy holidays and happy playing everyone!

I got one brick (10 boosters) as a pre-order so that i could get the BIBTB White Lantern Sinestro figure. I just won a second booster on ebay so I'll have that coming after the holidays. There are still a few figures that I would love for customization - Beast Boy T-Rex form (I have the other 2), Hawkgirl, and Osiris to name a few.

[BassistofDoom]

I got a pack with Iron Man, Iron Fist, and the Punisher in it. I am so excited that I will finally have my very own custom units for Heroscape! I mainly got it for a Punisher custom, but I will probably make Iron Fist work with my Monks and work off of the current Iron Man but give him more of his suit abilities. Any suggestions or ideas would be great though!

[Scapemage]

I am hoping to buy a single pack of 75th tonight at my FLAGS, if they have them. I just can't wait 'till Christmas for my brick.

[Scapemage]

Well I didn;t get the greatest pack last night. Only 2 of the 5 figures I really care about. The Atom (Al Pratt! I thought the mini would be Ray) and Detective Chimp. However, someone that was working there bought 2 packs, and he got Sinestro and Larfleeze. He has the best luck with Heroclix. Hope my brick is fruitful. I'll just buy the figures I don't get on TrollandToad after Crhistmas.

I got my brick in the mail today. I only opened two boosters (wait 'till Crhistmas for the rest), and loved them. I got two figures I really wanted (Ocean Master and White Lantern Hal Jordan :woot:), and a duplicate Black Alice :(, along with Batman (Dick Grayson), Mr Terrific, a Zamaron, two forms of Beast Boy (Cheetah and Bear), Sgt. Rock, and Ice. I'm hoping for some Lanterns leaders (preferrably Atrocitus, Larfleeze, Saint Walker, Indigo-1, and Carol Ferris) in the other 8 boosters. I will buy and trade for everyone I want after Christmas.

[johnny139]

Alright, it's been a bit since we've got news, but, new info on Giant-Sized X-Men.

The contents of the Super Boosters has been re-arranged a bit; each one will contain one colossal figure, and there are six in total. So far, we know of five: Apocalypse, Onslaught, Nemesis/Holocaust, and two type of Sentinels.

There were originally two more packs, one with X-Men "duo" figures, and one with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They've been bumped into the normal boosters, though, and will be distributed normally.

For the Horsemen, along with Nemesis as mentioned above, they've confirmed Wolverine-as-Death, Hulk-as-War, and Archangel-as-Death. That might be all of them, there might be another one or two. Who knows. I think a fourth is likely, though, so they can do their usual Common-Uncommon-Rare-Super Rare spread with groups like those.

In addition, Cyclops and Emma Frost are confirmed as commons. But that's not quite as interesting. :D

[Sherman Davies]

More available options for Sentinels and a new Cyclops sculpt sound good to me. :up:

[tcglkn]

I'm looking forward to the Horsemen.

[Hidicul]

Well at least we're getting a new Archangel sculpt, and I can't wait to see the wolverine and Hulk as Horsemen sculpts. Now we just need to get a Hulk done from us so I can do Hulk as War when he comes out.

[Xn F M]

So it looks like Star Trek clix has both ships and characters:

Star Trek: Expeditions is a board game for up to four players, set in the "New Universe" of STAR TREK, as seen in the 2009 movie. It is built upon the cooperative board game model and the players will work together against the game itself.

In the game, players assume the roles of Kirk, Spock, Bones, and Uhura. The premise is the Federation has received a petition for membership from a planet and the Enterprise is dispatched to assess their application. When the Enterprise arrives, they discover:

- A Klingon Battle Cruiser is in orbit;
- Civil War is threatening to break out on the planet;
- And the planet is (coincidentally?) reconsidering its application for UFP membership.

Your mission is threefold; defuse the threat of Civil War, deal with the Klingon threat, and get the planet to join the UFP. And you only have 30 days (each day is a turn) to do it in, otherwise a Klingon battle fleet will warp in and you will be forced to withdraw (thus failing your mission).

Each objective is tracked on a scoresheet that monitors your progress. Decisions you make in the game as well as how you interact with the other players will affect the outcome of the mission.

The four figures will be fully rendered, 3D versions of the four Bridge officers. Unlike Heroclix, the character dials will turn based upon your needs in the game, and the decisions you make, not when you take damage.

This product is designed as a non-collectible, non-blind, all-in-one-and-done game, but is built upon the "expandable" board game model meaning that down the line, new missions and Crew Members will be made available for folk to play other "episodes"!

http://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic887463.jpg

It looks interesting (though i don't know if it will be interesting enough for me to buy it . . . .

I agree. It's a nice 'shelf piece', but for playing, I prefer the current Magneto sculpt.

[johnny139]

So, some new from Clix-a-thon...

GIANT-SIZED X-MEN
- Super Boosters will contain 7 figures; more than likely, one Colossal and six regular figures.
- The new Colossals will have swappable hands; one with a figure in them and one without. The example was a Sentinel holding a frozen Cannonball in his hand - so, it's pretty likely that the new HUGE Apocalypse will have interchangable hands, too... maybe we should be considering him for actual gameplay, eh?
- The scale is supposed to be PERFECT. Marvel sent in height charts and everything - Blob is bigger than Emma Frost, Hulk is bigger than the Blob, so on, so forth. In fact, quality in general is supposed to be much higher than previous sets.

NEW FIGURE LIST (Bolded New, Italics all-but-confirmed)
- Apocalypse (COLOSSAL)
- Archangel (Death)
- Armor
- Blob
- Cannonball
- The Captain
- Cyclops
- Elsa Bloodstone
- Emma Frost
- Gambit

- Onslaught (COLOSSAL)
- Omega Sentinel
- Phoenix
- Sentinel (COLOSSAL)
- Sentinel Mk V (COLOSSAL)
- Storm
- Stryfe
- Wolverine (Death)
- Colossus/Wolverine Duo

STREET FIGHTER CLIX
- Release date in August 2011.
- Very dynamic sculpts; most figures performing game moves (E. Honda with that thousand fist thing, Ken doing a shoryuken, so on, so forth)

NEW FIGURE LIST
- Akuma
- Balrog
- Blanka
- Cammy
- Chun Li

I bought a blind booster the other day for DC's 75th since I hadn't bought any of the figs ala carte yet and I pulled what I wanted most from the set - Larfleeze! :-D
I also got Alan Scott, some dude named Dominator (no clue), Queen Apa'go, and Donna Troy (who, like Alan Scott, I already had another mini for).

[johnny139]

Ooh, Alan Scott is a REALLY expensive one - like, $20. Lucky you. :D

Oh, nice. :-) I do like it better than my other one. Are you sure that's not for a white suit version of him or something, though? This is just his normal suit.

Yup, it's one of their "classic cover" Super Rares. I believe Alan Scott is based off his first appearance in All-American Comics.

First of all, congratz on a Super Rare and a Rare in the same pack! :woot: See? Buying boosters isn't a bad thing...

Dominators are a race of aliens that are very organized by Caste. IN the set is another figure named Ruling-Caste Dominator. i.e. these are commons.

There is no WL Alan :(, probably because he's not in the Corps and therefore wasn't in the light war? :shrug:

[IAmBatman]

I'm pretty sure Alan was decked in white at some point in the comics ... and everybody in the DCU was involved in Blackest Night/Brightest Day somehow.
Cool that he's a super rare. Now to figure out whether to hold on to him or to try to trade him for other stuff I want since I have another Alan Scott ... hmm ...

[GreyOwl]

You know, there were Street Fighter comics. Would these be eligible for C3G?

I know the names says "Comics", but the aesthetic of most people seems to really prefer "Superheroes" instead. That's nothing official, but the group tends to lean that way. Just recently I drafted Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) and some heroes were concerned by that, even though she's been in comics for years. So I'm guessing Street Fighter characters wouldn't be accepted by everyone.

Cool that he's a super rare. Now to figure out whether to hold on to him or to try to trade him for other stuff I want since I have another Alan Scott ... hmm ...
Try this page (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=40). Make an account on the site, then post a trade thread with your haves/wants, and you'll get tons of offers.

[IAmBatman]

I might ... but I do like the sculpt too ... :-P

[SirGalahad]

Decisions . . . decisions

[johnny139]

Huh, rumors are trickling in of Lord-of-the-Rings-Clix being announced. THAT would certainly be interesting - I'm sure a lot of people would like the play with Gandalf and some generic hobbits and ents would be pretty cool to have in C3V.

[IAmBatman]

Sherman Davies is probably wetting himself right now. :-D

[GreyOwl]

He wouldn't be the only one. My son would LOVE that!

[Sherman Davies]

You rang? ;)

My LotRscape needs are pretty well fulfilled at this point, but it would be nice to see some easily available (and cheaper) minis from that mythos for other Scapers to use. I wonder if these new minis will be from the books or the movies?

[IAmBatman]

But the ones from the books are all two-dimensional and papery ... :-P

YUP, LOTR CONFIRMED. (http://wizkidsgames.com/lotr-test-page/)

Says there'll be "twenty of more figures" in one big fancy campaign box and in regular ol' boosters.

WIZKIDS TAKES OVER MIDDLE EARTH

WITH NEW "THE LORD OF THE RINGS" GAME RELEASES

(January 18, 2011-Hillside NJ) - Wizkids announced today the addition of "The Lord of the Rings" property to their 2011 HeroClix release schedule through a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products. The first products of the new "The Lord of the Rings" line will be a HeroClix miniatures game followed by a HeroClix strategic board game, both of which will release in the back half of 2011.

"The Lord of the Rings" HeroClix miniatures game will be sold in two different packages: a campaign style box set and the traditional booster format. The all-in-one campaign style box set will include everything a player needs, including NEW epic level rules and maps. The booster format includes the figures, similar to other previous HeroClix releases. With whichever format chosen, all of the twenty or more figures will be compatible with other HeroClix miniatures games.

The second release is a unique semi cooperative HeroClix board game, following in the similar format of our other HeroClix board game products. HeroClix figures, a gameboard and several decks of cards provide all the components needed to play this unique take on "The Lord of the Rings" story. The fun twist in the game is that players get to play as the Nazgul working with and against other Nazgul trying to capture the One Ring before it reaches Mount Doom.

Find us on the web at www.WizKidsGames.com/lotr (http://wizkidsgames.com/lotr) or friend us on Facebook at Facebook.com/Wizkids (http://www.facebook.com/wizkids) to see the latest developments from WizKids as they happen!

[Porkins]

This is great news! I have purchased a bunch of the older TMG figures thanks (or no thanks??) to SD's LOTR cards. Looking forward to this :thumbsup:

[johnny139]

Back on the X-Men front, we have MADROX (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Madrox_001.jpg), or as most likely know him, Multiple Man! And he's common, too, so he'll be cheap and plentiful upon release. That'll certainly be an interesting army. :D

I'd ratehr have a Unique Hero who can clone himself rather than a squad of the same person...

EDIT: Reading his card, there's going to be another figure under the name of Jamie Madrox.

[johnny139]

Yes, the Buy it By the Brick figure is going to be Jamie Madrox and in Clix-terms will probably have some sort of interaction with the regular ol' Madroxes. Madroxi.

FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS (http://img50.xooimage.com/files/3/d/e/gsx-poster-23167fb.jpg), though, he might be the same sculpt... which would be SUPER lame.

They've never had a Buy it by the Brick figure with the same sculpt as anyone else before....I agree, that would be lame in both games.

[tcglkn]

I like the idea of a more common Madrox. I already have 3 of him.

[IAmBatman]

Yes. The current one is a bit pricey and hard to get. Not ideal for a mini you probably want multiple of. :-P

And another unit - OMEGA PRIME SENTINEL (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/omega_prime_sentinal_003.jpg)!

I'd say it's almost certain we'll be getting a repaint into Karima Shapandar, or you could just use this one since it looks JUST like her, which is awesome, 'cause I'd love to make a custom of her. I even have a loose draft written up!

[IAmBatman]

Man, cool looking sculpt, but I am not down on my non-iconic Marvel characters ...

[johnny139]

Well, the Omega Prime Sentinels were humans that were outfitted into cyborgs to act as human Sentinel sleeper agents - they'd take someone, turn them into a Sentinel, and whenever a nearby mutant's powers activated it would "turn on" the Omega Prime Sentinel programming and they'd eliminate the target.

Karima Shapandar was one of them, but she had her Sentinel instincts taken out and joined the X-Men. I think she's in a coma or something now, but, it's a really cool concept; a Sentinel that fights on the side of the X-Men.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. So she's a good sleeper Cylon.

[tcglkn]

I saw that figure this morning when working on a trade on hcrealms. I thought it looked cool but I wasn't familiar with the unit.

[johnny139]

FULL SET CONFIRMED VIA POSTER!

...with the exception of ten figures, six of which are the Colossals, and four of which are Duos which were originally going to be Super-Booster exclusive. And a few LE repaints. So, we've got pretty much everything, save one Colossal.

[johnny139]

Sorry to double post, but HERE (http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/949/57455866.jpg) is the poster... mostly. As you can see, one row and a few on the left side are missing. But you'll get most of the figures there.

Pretty good looking set... though, to be perfectly honest, I haven't the vaguest idea who a good portion of the figures are.

[IAmBatman]

I wonder how affordable some of those are ... like Wolverine, Phoenix, Juggernaut, Mystique, Pyro, and Archangel, all of which look better than what we currently have, IMO.

[Xn F M]

There are some pretty cool figures in that set. Vulcan, Strife, Fitzroy, Leech . . . .

Bonebreaker, Skullbuster, and Pretty Boy are are surprises, I could have sworn that all over the Reavers from back then were dead in the current continuity.

[johnny139]

I wonder how affordable some of those are ... like Wolverine, Phoenix, Juggernaut, Mystique, Pyro, and Archangel, all of which look better than what we currently have, IMO.

1-16 will probably be fifty cents or so. 17-32 will be a dollar, maybe two. 33-45 (or so, I'm not really sure with the Rares/Super Rares this time around) up to five bucks... and anything past that over could be up to sixty, so, yeah, good luck there.

So the Horsemen? Yeah, you'll be spending a PRETTY PENNY for those babies.

[IAmBatman]

Hmm, in that case Wolverine (for cheap!), Lockheed (because there's nothing better out there) and Stryfe (because there's nothing better out there) seem like the only highly likely pick ups for me from there unless someone C3G's up one of the ones I know less.

[Lord Pyre]

Pretty awesome Pyro figure! And I want that Mystique, since I can't bring myself to even LOOK at the one we have now. :p

And Leech is pretty cool! I've been wanting a card for him, anyway.... :)

[Scapemage]

Looks pretty awesome! And some cheaper versions of some figures (I'm pointing at you Angel!)

[johnny139]

Alright, so, here's the rest of the poster with the missing row... along with a close up of Blob, and some of the cooler looking Super Rares. Again, big thanks to the guys at HCRealms for all the images and information.

17-20 (http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1459/30175764.jpg)
21-24 (http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/4430/57117242.jpg)
Blob (http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9607/78868841.jpg)
Phoenix (http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/5856/99862999.jpg)
Storm (http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4945/43855671.jpg)
Archangel (Death) (http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8963/55414212.jpg)
Hulk (War) (http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/7683/43766168.jpg)
Wolverine (Death) (http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5833/98585980.jpg)

My only real disappointments are the lack of Dust and Dracula, and... the fact that all the Horsemen look AWESOME, but will be SUPER RARE!

[Hahma]

The Blob, Pyro, Mystique and Psylocke are pretty sweet. :D

[tcglkn]

Those are some sweet sculpts. I think this will be a good set. Quality of the sculpts looks incredible.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, Clix is really upping their game, which pleases me greatly. :-D

[tcglkn]

I'm certainly hoping for some good C3V commons from the Lord of the Rings set.

[Griffin]

OK, I don't venture out of my C3g and C3v holes, but I found this with Spidey's help and I just want to say that the new Marvel stuff coming out is amazing, and seriously some of the best minis I have ever seen. Pyro and Angle above all others caught my attention, and I will likely be in favor of updating the current C3G cards with those figures instead of the ones we currently use. Really, and especially Angel needs the update to match the classic look of his brothers from that set.

[Scapemage]

I'd be up for an Angel I can actually find, but I like to currecnt Pyro figure, not saying that the new one isn't awesome!

[tcglkn]

The current Pyro figure sucks. I would love an Angel card update as I'm using Arch Angel right now.

[Xn F M]

I think I may be upgrading a number of my C3G figures with this release. (Heck, I'm like *this* close to buying a brick, because frankly, I want darned near everything [and a bunch of Jamies]).

[Lord Pyre]

I think I may be upgrading a number of my C3G figures with this release.

Same here. Pyro and Mystique for sure, and possibly Cyclops.

[tcglkn]

Oh and this Blob figure is awesome too. This set just looks amazing. I will be picking up some boosters in hopes of getting some of the SRs.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Lately, most of the LE tournament prize figures have been different paint jobs on those more common figures. I think a Red Phoenix; a diamond version of Emma Frost; different costumed versions of Cannonball, Cypher, and the other Hellions; and possible a X-Force version of Domino.

[johnny139]

So far, there's confirmed (kinda, through firsthand reports) repaints of Phoenix in her green costume and Archangel with a normal face. If they're LEs or not, well, we don't know.

Most people are pretty sure of diamond Emma, too - or POSSIBLY her in her black Dark X-Men costume.

:word: plus an alternate yellow/blue costumed version of Wolverine to match. That Blob looks 10 times cooler than the current figure.

I'd be up for helping with the conversion.

[johnny139]

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't mind a cheaper alternative for Angel and a nice costumed Wolverine...

...and would it be too much to push for the new, less dumb looking Cyclops sculpt, at that? :whistle:

[IAmBatman]

Honestly, that Cyclops only looks so-so to me.

[Lord Pyre]

Honestly, that Cyclops only looks so-so to me.

So-so is better than the ugly pile of garbage that is the one we currently have. ;)

[IAmBatman]

Really? I actually like the current one. But then I was a big fan of the cartoon in the 90s.

[johnny139]

I actually prefer Cyclops with his hair out, but it's just the figure itself - I figure it's to represent him shooting an optic blast, but it just looks like he's shouting and pounding his fists on an invisible table in anger. :D

Of course, my younger sister remarked that Black Canary was eating an invisible sandwich and now I can't quite take her seriously, either, so it might just be one of those "cannot unsee" sorts of things... :lol:

[Griffin]

The original X-Men that we did, we did with intention of creating the original 5 in a classic late 80's look. So the new Cyclops would not fit that bill, but Angel does much better.

[Balantai]

You might want to change the comic art, also. I specifically tried to pick comic art for Angel that matched the mini. :D

[johnny139]

Ooh, Street Fighter Clix news!

There'll be 24 figures total, released in single-distribution blind boxes. So, for $3, you get one figure. Which seems a bit steep, but the sculpts are supposed to be GORGEOUS, so, I think that's a fair trade.

So, with the following confirmed:

Akuma
Balrog
Blanka
Cammy
Chun Li
Evil Ryu
Dhalsim
E. Honda
Fei Long
Guile
Ken
M. Bison
Ryu
Sagat
Vega
Zangief

We can probably assume they'll round out Super Street Fighter II, so, T. Hawk and Dee Jay. That leaves six empty slots, which just so happen to be the cast introduced in Street Fighter IV - C. Viper, Abel, El Fuerte, Rufus, Gouken, and Seth. So I'd say that's a PRETTY likely spread... but the last six are definite "maybes."

[Porkins]

I've already given enough quarters to Street Fighter.

[Balantai]

Three dollars for 1 random figure is horrible. I don't think I'll be doing any blind purchases here.

[IAmBatman]

I've gotta say ... I don't know Street Fighter well enough for this to even pique my interest. I'm sure they're very cool and someone will put together some fun designs for them, though. Probably worth a separate group project somewhere.

[Griffin]

I wish they would release a Celery Man expansion. Tayne is something I can get into. :)

[IAmBatman]

Nude Tayne. Does not compute. Nude Tayne ...

[Griffin]

A close-up of BEAST (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Beast_010.jpg) today. It's, uhh... not the best they've done. :p

Comparing it with the digital sculpt pictured on his card, though, shows a lot about the difference between them though.

[Griffin]

Man he is tiny. :down:

[Scapemage]

He looks a bit too human to me. I like the current mini, because he actually looks like a beast.

[Balantai]

My favorite mini of Beast is where he's standing on one hand. Specifically the Vetran figure where he has his blue fur.

[Griffin]

The Handful of Heroes Beast is my favorite. Just look at how stocky he is. That is Beast IMO.

Someone PLEASE update the thread title. :D (Yes, it really bugs me.)

[johnny139]

I was actually thinking of starting a new thread, and keeping the front page updated with upcoming releases, pictures, etc. Just haven't quite gotten around to it...

[Drewman-chu]

If you want a bad glimpse of most of the New Giant Sized X-men figures, http://hcrealms.com/ has a scanned copy of a poster. We now get a original Angel, Chod, new Hellfire guards and Harry Leland to complete some sets.

[IAmBatman]

It's mostly the paint job on that beast that's horrible. Ugh, look at his eyes!

[Drewman-chu]

An interview with Justin Ziran (seen HERE (http://icv2.com/articles/news/19264.html)) has confirmed the following:

2011 will have a Green Lantern and a Captain America release of some kind (either a full set or an action pack or a starter or something).
The Classics line (reprinting old units in non-blind packages) will continue, but will be tweaked.
Star Trek will be out in June. Expeditions will be a small board game with 6 figures of the Crew, while Fleet Battles will be, well, Fleet Battles, with 12 Federation and 12 Klingon ships. A few other new board game releases (like Lord of the Rings) are also mentioned.
A new videogame-themed ActionClix (not Street Fighter) is currently being developed.

Whoa whoa whoa! LOOK AT THIS! (http://www.hypergeek.ca/2011/01/sneak-peak-at-dc-heroclix-green-lantern-fast-forces-6-pack.html) Green Lantern "Fast Forces" Pack due out on May 4th!

Look at that! Hal, Kilowog, Abin Sur, Ganthet, Green Lantern Sinestro, and Tomar-Re! All for about $16! I mean, I'm not too enthused about them being the movie versions... but outside of Kilowog, it's no biggie.

Sweet! A cheap Kilowog is good! That Sinestro looks pretty awesome, too, would make for a good repaint, if I hadn't just repainted the blue one.

HeroClix made an official announcement, not only of the Fast Forces pack (see that HERE (http://heroclix.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/DC-GLMovie-6packsheet.jpg); blow-ups of the digital sculpts) but of some single-figure boosters, which contain the six figures from the starter along with Salaak, Boodikka, R'Amey Holl, and Hal in a flight suit. You can see that one HERE (http://heroclix.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/DC-GLMovie-sheet2.jpg).

So, cheap and plentiful Lanterns? Not bad, not bad at all.

[Lord Pyre]

Maybe we could do an uncommon GL hero, like the Yellow Lantern one, if we get a good, cheap alien scuplt? :shrug:

[IAmBatman]

I'm excited about this! :-D

[Griffin]

I was just wondering yesterday if Salaak was ever gonna be made. :up:

[Scapemage]

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it!!!!!!!

Too bad they're movie based :(.

[Lord Pyre]

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it!!!!!!!

Too bad they're movie based :(.

I dunno, I like the looks of 'em. I wish Clix did more movie based figs. I want the Nolan Batman stuff, and the Xmen costumes were pretty cool in the movies. ;)

[Chardar]

I would definitely buy a Heath Ledger style Joker figure.

[tcglkn]

I don't like that Kilowog figure at all and plan on keeping the one I bought.

[Griffin]

Heath Joker and Batman Begins Scarecrow and Batmobile would be amazing.

[IAmBatman]

I don't like that Kilowog figure at all and plan on keeping the one I bought.

Agreed. And I don't need Hal or Sinestro, but even just to get a Tomar-Re on the cheap is exciting. :-)

[johnny139]

I could go for the cheaper Kilowog, but I agree, he's UGLY. I hate the movie version of the character. My primary hope is that having a newer, hopefully awesomer one makes the original drop in price a bit.

And Sinestro - oh, YouAreBatman, this is a Green Lantern Sinestro! I don't need one, I need five.

[IAmBatman]

:lol: I wouldn't mind two - one to keep as a GL Sinestro and one to try a repaint on so I can keep my current Sinestro as is.

[Griffin]

I hope someone designs a GL Sinestro at some point. That would be really cool.

[Scapemage]

I hope someone designs a GL Sinestro at some point. That would be really cool.
Noted. ;)

My first thoughts upon seeing Kilowog were "That's not him!", so yeah, he's ugly IMO.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I hate that Tomar Re has orange on him. He looks like he is Aquaman or something. Although, I look forward to seeing how they explain that in the movie.

OVERJOYED to see Boodika and Salaak.

[johnny139]

Alright, today we have SIRYN (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Siryn_027.jpg) up close and personal.

I like the fact that her TEETH are detailed on the figure. Kinda creepy, honestly.

[Lord Pyre]

I wouldn't call that detailed, I'd more call that smudged on. :p

[Griffin]

Cool looking fig, but I know nothing about her other than the bio I just read on the card. Still, thanks for sharing Johnny. :up:

[IAmBatman]

I take it that's Banshee's daughter?

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Yes. And she has dated Warpath, Strong Guy, and Multiple Man, I believe. Also, she had a long relationship with Deadpool. Originally part of Cable's X-Force, she is now coleader of X-Factor with Madrox.

[quozl]

Are her powers different than Banshee at all?

[johnny139]

I think she can hypnotize people with her voice, but they have the same basic "power set" of sonic screams and flight.

[Xn F M]

I think she can hypnotize people with her voice, but they have the same basic "power set" of sonic screams and flight.

Yep, in the current continuity she can modulate the pitch of her voice to get people to do her bidding. Banshee probably could have done it if he had thought of it, and you know, not died.

But yeah, they have the exact same powers.

[johnny139]

Two more today: HARRY LELAND (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/harry_leland_020.jpg) and the HELLFIRE CLUB GUARD (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/hell_fire_club_guard_004.jpg). Frankly I don't know the first thing about the Hellfire Club, but they have a pretty cool style, and I do loves me some generics. :D

[IAmBatman]

Black Bishop would be great to have. :-)

[Drewman-chu]

I just finished some cards for Harry Leland and the Hellfire Club. You can find them in my thread.

[Hidicul]

They need to make some Amalgam Clix :)

[johnny139]

Ooh, and today we have LOCKHEED (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/lockheed_039.jpg)! Sculpt actually looks pretty great this time... but maybe I'm just distracted by the translucentness.

[Hidicul]

That is a pretty good looking sculpt, but I like the translucntness also.

[Scapemage]

He has the X-Men team ability? Great sculpt, and I don't know anything about hte Pet Avengers, but why would he have the X-Men team ability?

[Drewman-chu]

but why would he have the X-Men team ability
Scape he was Kitty Pryde 's pet dragon.

[Scapemage]

If i knew who that was, it'd probably make sense. :)

Shadowcat: the girl who walks through walls.

Shadowcat sounds more familier than Kitty Pryde.

If I threw Mick Rory at you, would you be able to identify his superhero name without looking it up?

[Balantai]

The difference is that Kitty Pride went by her real name for quite some time. Similar to Jean Grey and Marvel Girl. (Same person)

Jean Grey = Jean Grey, period. <my mind.

You old fuddy duddy :p I actually have a hard time thinking of Kitty as shadowcat beacause when I was growing up, she was only Kitty.

Apply that and the fact that I guess you could say I'm still growing up to Jean Grey and you get what I'm saying.

Actually, it's Kitty Pryde... and she even had a TV show named after her, Pryde of the X-Men, so, no excuses. :p

[Lord Pyre]

Kitty and Shadowcat go hand in hand with me. I never knew Gambit's real name until we talked about him in the design thread (I thought no one knew his name. :p ). But I've heard her equally as Kitty or Shadowcat, so...

[IAmBatman]

Good old Remy LeBeau? That's Wolverine and Magneto nobody (used to) know the names of!

[Lord Pyre]

Wolverine was Logan (And still is, nobody REALLY calls him James. :p ) and I didn't know that Magneto's name was a secret. I know he has two he's gone by, though.

[IAmBatman]

For the longest time nobody knew their full names, they were just "Logan" and "Magnus." Neither of those are their real names, though.

[johnny139]

We still don't know Rogue's name, though, do we? I find that kind of odd, honestly.

[IAmBatman]

Her first name is Anna Marie. Surname unknown. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_%28comics%29)

Scapey,

Sometimes the point just seems to go way over your head. :D

[johnny139]

Now we have THE CAPTAIN (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/the_captain_054.jpg)! Not the prettiest sculpt and it's got two big fingers on it, but, it's cool to have him anyways. :D

I see another "Molly" problem with that sculpt. What it is with you and choosing sculpts with parts that can't be removed, but that we would want to remove? :p

[johnny139]

And there's our first look at the Colossals "in the wild," so to speak; that gives you an idea of the scale they'll have.

The ice thing is removable, by the by, if you'd prefer a less ridiculous looking sculpt, which I'm sure we all do. The regular Sentinel has something similar where he's blasting Wolverine.

So when we saw the poster, it didn't include the mysterious colossal figures, os those are still a mystery...how many are there?

[quozl]

Is there a picture? Will he be purple?

[Scapemage]

I'm also wondering how cheap the colossals will be, singles wise. I can't remember how much the super boosters cost or what's in them.

Six - Sentinel, Sentinel Mk 5, Apocalypse, Onslaught, Nemesis/Holocaust, and one we don't know about.

Yup. (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7H2bweFNR8k/TUKEFQ1xYbI/AAAAAAAABGg/dnsVRcVUUQs/s320/GSX+Poster.jpg) Be aware it's a digital sculpt, though.

I'm also wondering how cheap the colossals will be, singles wise. I can't remember how much the super boosters cost or what's in them.

About $20 - they'll include one of the six colossal figures at random.

[johnny139]

Oh, and look at this! A Captain America set in the same style as Green Lantern!

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/182942_10150093090449079_133811649078_6361409_2080282_n.jpg

So there's Bucky Cap, Red Skull, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Klaw, Sin, generic HYDRA Agent and Howling Commando and SHIELD Specialist and SHIELD Agent! Good stuff there for sure.

[Scapemage]

He-ho! I like it!

[tcglkn]

I'll hopefully be picking up some single Hydra Agents from that. They are the only unit I don't have anything for.

[Good Pig]

I like that Nick Fury. Hope he isn't super rare or expensive. :)

[johnny139]

Well, the rarities are all the same in the single-figure boosters (I think) so, he should probably be about $3 give or take; all of them should be.

[Lord Pyre]

Hah, I just did a trade for Ultimate Nick Fury. Oh well, I like him better anyway. :p

[IAmBatman]

I have lots of HYDRA Agents already. :-) Maybe I'll pick up a single to have a different sculpt for Bob, though ...

[tcglkn]

I have lots of HYDRA Agents already. :-)

No wonder I can't find them ANYWHERE. :evil:

:lol:

[IAmBatman]

HYDRA have turned into one of my favorite factions. :-)

[johnny139]

Today's preview? SENTINEL: MARK II (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Sentinel_Mark_II.jpg)! (Be aware that, like with the other big figures, he comes with an extra hand that you can swap the captured Wolverine one out for.) HERE (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Sentinel_05_copy.jpg) is what he looks like "vanilla," and HERE (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Sentinel_03_copy.jpg) is a size comparison. About... Huge 15 in HeroScape standards, would you say?

Now that just looks awesome. They'll be far more plentiful (and hopefully cheaper) than the older Sentinels, so I'll finally be able to scoop some up. :D

[quozl]

Looks like it comes with a nice base too!

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, if those aren't too bad in price, I could definitely grab some of those! :-)

[Griffin]

:word: Hopefully this will inspire someone to create a new type of sentinel for us too.

[Sherman Davies]

And after all that effort involved in rebasing the original Sentinel, too... ;)

[johnny139]

And today we have two new previews: MONICA RAMBEAU (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Monica_Rambeau_029.jpg) and TABITHA SMITH (http://wizkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Tabitha_Smith_015.jpg), the two ladies from Nextwave. I REALLY like Tabitha's sculpt; great detail by the standards we've seen thusfar, and on a Common to boot.

[Scapemage]

And that is where "Nextwave joins the fight!" comes from! Thank you.


EDIT: What's with the "embarrasing first appearence" on the cards?

[johnny139]

EDIT: What's with the "embarrasing first appearence" on the cards?

It's the "real" first appearance as superheroes vs. their appearance in Nextwave. Monica Rambeau, for example, was Captain Marvel long before she appeared in Nextwave.

So, we've got these pictures in a recent magazine:

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/5003/newpicg.jpg
http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/3650/newpic2.jpg

That's Deadpool and Cable as a duo (and it looks like an easily scalpable one, which is good), along with Phoenix next to Apocalypse... is she a Colossal? That's what it seems to imply, but, who knows.

[Lord Pyre]

Man, I'd love for that Cable/Deadpool duo to be cheap. Those are two great looking figures...

[johnny139]

Man, I'd love for that Cable/Deadpool duo to be cheap. Those are two great looking figures...

Don't hold your breath, bud... Deadpool + Super Rare or possibly even Chase = $30 at least.

Anyways, the next big set (it's assumed, at least) after Giant-Sized X-Men is confirmed as... Superman! So, yeah, that's good. Maybe we'll get a good looking Zod at last! And maybe even Jimmy Olsen... or Red Son Superman...
