And IMax - shocker, but I agree with you on not accepting the Nick Fury re-invent - I saw it on the Avengers DVD and while it "works", it simply is not acceptable to change someone that iconic.

It DOES matter what his race is, Mr. Comic Book Fan.
Just like Sgt Drake wouldn;t work IMO as a black man, Nick Fury does not work for me. There is a historical component that once seprated from the character, makes him a LESSER character, imo.

But I'm not buying that figure, and you can't make me.

Funny, but before I noticed the figure's character name the first thing I thought was he was a perfect figure for Agent Carr Sr. :P

He would also work as generic agent or a perfect "survivor" figure for zombie based games/scenarios.

I would never use him as Nick Fury, because that is not who I picture in my head when I hear that name, but the figure may be useful nonetheless.

More Dreamblade sneak peeks:

Awesome find, Annerios! Where were those?

One note on Dreamblade - you can now download a virtual start set with 16 different paper standup minis. These have photos of minis on them, so you can see what 16 of the figs will look like.

I love that watery dragon.

The photos were taken at the GAMA convention in Las Vegas.

Those are some sweet figures! I love the little dude with the huge axe! Thanks for posting those pics, Annerios and thanks for the download information, IMax.

Newb.

Almost all of those DreamBlade figs look better than anything Hasbro is putting out with HS lately.

Look at these things: (from WotC site)








And this guy is a slam-dunk for a Samurai Bodyguard:


And there is also a Samurai in the set (look at the DreamBlade Virtual Starter Set) and the Axemorph Demon in there is better than all of these minis pictured.

Between this game and the HorrorClix, it shows how disappointing the HS figures are.

Oh - I found this page with pics of a lot of the minis:

Wow! Great find. Some of those look real nice.

I just stumbled on that other page while trying to find some new Horrorclix
photos. Wizkids should just post that damn full set poster as a .pdf already.

In an article I read in scrye or inquest the designer mentioned that the Dreamblade bases are 2 inch squares. These guys are gonna be large and huge in HS. The designs are fantastic, though.

Don't sweat it Imax, I'll just be sure to make it a custom.

Ok. Finally found them!
Here are photos of all of the Horrorclix figures to be released in August 2006. A big thanks to Kissarmy for putting these up!

The photos are huge, so I am only going to put one picture up. Go to the link to see the rest! Zombies, madmen, an Avatar of Cthulhu, Deep Ones, Ghostbusters wannabes and more. Tons of cool stuff.
