I don't think it's so much a "mechanic" as just a keyword that other figures can refer to.

It seems to me that figures refer only to captains and sidekicks.

Yeah, seems that way to me too. I guess "ally' denotes a figure that can sit on the sideline and affect Captain and Sidekicks?

HOLY CARP

I go ONE DAY without checking in here and there's a freakin' explosion!

Legacy cards, wow...great idea, but...are there really going to be no less than 57 of these to collect?!? Good...gravy. I pity the completionists out there.

I think the new put value back in boosters strategy is to do so with cheaper to produce cards rather than figures. If that works for people buying boosters, that's great.

I'll stick with buying figures (that happen to come with cards) but that's me so I won't really judge this but I know some people want a "justification" for buying those boosters as most figures don't hold their value.

Sooo ... I'm pretty sure I'm about to see this Artie getting called in by XXS 024 Leech in Golden Age games. It won't boost the special version of that Leech's Outwit, but it will give him a greater Outwit range for 1 turn, and this Artie is a much better call-in than the XXS one.

I know what you mean Scott and have been echoing your sentiments all week. Negativity at nauseam is tedious at best, and becomes a self righteous victim complex if left unchecked.

Q: Did you know about the recent rule changes before making the FFFF Unboxing Videos (i.e. do you reference them in any of the episodes)...?

After 3 sets of F4 in the CUR rarity of the last F4 set, very happy 1 of the 2 sets in this set are Skrulls. 1 set of actual F4 in this set is plenty after the last set.

I don't even bother looking at SR's because if those are repeat characters, I simply skip them anyway.

Very happy with that.

Skrulls! My one weakness!

How very dare you make such an obvious observation and use your eyes and brain?

Here's what you need to do:

Don't ask questions. Just consume product and then get excited for next products.

Lest you be snark'd to death by shills who couldn't see the difference between legitimate criticism/concern and actual hate if it ran them over.

You might say it's finally TIME FOR PAIBOK!

I can't see how they went with "I Shall Have My Revenge!" instead of "It's Paibok Time!"

It's so good to see the original Human Torch again and he's powerful if a little, but and please I'm not complaining, he seems a bit "Bland".

I'd kind'a hoped he'd get an Invaders trait of some kind, I mean he is the man who took out the Marvel universes ( 616 Forever! ) Hitler.

Why can't he fly?

That's pretty integral to his power-set, I realize that I want Jim more for the Invaders than his Future Foundation appearances.

So I was thinking maybe slap the Beetle Pod on Jim?

Any better suggestions?

....Well now I want to see a mod with parachute pants.

For me heroclix is about the sculpts. Every cardboard element I can print it myself. Specially since it become official on print and play, for me become official forever.

Love some feats and all BFC, but I can print it myself in the size and quality I want it
