When I saw the winged horse I was like yes. Black Knight from the Avengers on his winged horse. Then I saw the name and team ability and went huh?
I remember Mirage/Moonstar I think from New Mutants. But when did she have a winged steed. Even thou I don't follow X-men books I thought I knew a good chunk of their history. I guess I don't. Especially the New Mutant era.
I just hope they get the majority of the Fantastic Forces list out by middle of June. Becasue so far I am still up in the air about the set and have yet to order my case.
So far as I know the set is of remakes. Giant Yellow Jacket(-), Scarlet Witch(?), Ghost Rider(-), Fantastic Four(?) and Dr Doom(?), Juggurnaut(+)
The only new characters I know of are Namor(+), correct Green Goblin(+), Lock Jaw(?), and Mirage/Moonstar(?)
Hopefully I'll have better feeling of the set by end of May or maybe they will sell FF set early at WWE con and will get better feel of the set then.

Holy Carp! I forgot about Green Goblin! But I'm more of a Hobgoblin fan (Ned Leeds era, though I know it wasn't him). But nonetheless, it's good to see him made into clix form!
1/6th of the Brothers Prob. '19-'20 Season: 15-13(8 events) 2 wins, 2nd XDPS PR 9-7, 7th SOC
Lovin the Namor. Charge in w/ large object for 6, get smacked down to flurry, push and do another 6.
Mirage, great sculpt, nice theme team piece and kinda cool that I actaully remember the comic where she got the horse (15-20 years ago).
Doom, ouch, at least he'll be fairly easy to trade for
Scarlet Witch - No seems to have said it yet, but this is a fantastic piece. I know when I'm facing tournament teams, PC is invaluable. Tack on the fact that she is a stealthed hitter with 10 range and can be a cheap Ultimates for Wildcard, says definetly tournament worthy.
A bullet cant harm harm Namor correct. Just like Scorpion, who I would say has more protection then Namor. Who also has only Toughness. One kliq of it is what I gave him in Character Creation. Only after some people asked for more of it.
Now put Scorpion in front of Hulk and tell me how much he can stand. Namor is far harder than Scorpion that is correctly done in Toughness. Namor can stand a fight with Hercules or Hulk, taking blows that would knock out the Spiderman's foe. Namor is correctly done with few click of INV and in my oppinion the dials are quite accurate.

Well, I really do like the character in question, but the problem is that Rookie Moostar DEFINITELY doesn't have the horse, or the Psychic Blast, and the Vet doesn't have the Horse either. It's like they made three different versions out of 1/5th of her total career, and ignored the other 4/5ths. In fact, she NEVER had a psychic-blast-esc effect while she had the horse.
The psychic arrows came AFTER she gave up the horse. Originally she had an effect that could only be along the lines of Incap or MC (her illlusions dealt no damage at all), then she gained the ability to manifest real things, which would probably be along the lines of BCF (she used a spear a lot here), and the use of the pegasus, and THEN, after losing the pegasus she gained the psychic arrows.
It really is a horrible representation of the character, more a "What can we cram onto a double base figure?" rather than "What can we do with Dani Moonstar?"
Yes... you have reason on this. I'm not even sure why they decided to make Dani a transporter but as a version had a horse, they had to do them all on a horse due the molds thing. Sad but true.
Dani's powers to arise the fears on people would be better represented as Incapacitate i suppose. But she has changed a lot during time... i even remember her with cosmic like powers... so almost anything can work

Ok, let me get this straight. You're complaining that the figure isn't dressed right, and actually has *better* stats/abilities?!?!?! For once, you get good stats on a Marvel figure and that's a bad thing? Hell's bells people, this is silly! So what if the costume is "wrong" on Scarlet Witch? She's had about a dozen different versions of the costume anyways!!!! Ok, they screw up Captain America or Spiderman, I can see a beef; they're costumes haven't changed all that much. Cap is had only 3 real versions (original shield, rounded shield, Ultimate) and then as "The Captain." Spidey has had the red/blue and then the black costume with VERY little differences. Wanda is/was/will be a clothes horse!
Because X-men sell. Fantastic Four doesn't sell as hot as X-men. Hence, the FF play second fiddle to their mutant friends.
The Frontman
Well... i'm agree with you in few things but take in consideration that for players like me, a good design is FAR more important than a mini gets good stats or is high in cheese factor. Comic-wise dials are better for me than power play dials.

The least they could have done was make the Namor Le Aqautic symboled with leadership for the PRINCE OF ATLANTIS!!!!!
Its going to take something big (Like a certain cigar smoking duck) to get me to really like this set. So far the only peice they got right was the LE Juggs.
I really like Big Juggs with the charge and stuff but other then that theres not much worth it. Mirage is nothing compared to Dagger, and Scarlet Witch is nice being a 10 range rookie free move and the ultimates help in the vet but I feel they should have either done the current Avengers Scarlet Witch or even the Xmen Evolution Scarlet Witch..ie The Hot one.
I also expected them to make her more then just a 1 trick pony...again. No Psychic blast, shape change, super senses, incap, mind control, pulse wave? This girl single handedly made me stop reading the Avengers (ok she had a lot of help from Bendis) but all they give her is PC!?!?!!??
Well... Namor is not the best leader you can imagine. He is violent, impulsive and hard headed. He rules more by pride and honor that for qualities to do it. I think is okay to don't add him Leadership.
About Mirage... well... i don't compare Minis. What i look for is that Minis are correctly done and sadly, they have not done a good job with Danielle, but is a consequence of the transporter thing.
Scarlet Witch is the ultimate version and so far, stealth and PC works fine for her.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!
I am fairly new to the game, and also the realms but i have noticed a very annoying trend. WHINING! Whining about everything! I have never seen a more negative lot bunch in my entire life. I got into clix because why? I am a comic book geek, i have been since i was a kid. I love all the figs because the represent a character that i grew up reading or currently read about. I don't care that they don't have certain powers on their dial ("such and such a character can't have that power because in issue 231 it clearly states that they lost that power"give me a break), use some imagination while playing ,you would be surprised how much fun that can add to a game. Now i don't want to offend anyone, and everyone is obviously entitled to their own opinion, (which is why i started coming here to read the posts) and this is not directed towards everybody but it just seems that there are some with nothing good to say ever! So for all you people who hate the game and the fig's so much you should all get together and put all the money you would be spending on hc and start your own company (Wizkids Deux) then you could make your own figs and give them the "right powers"...or get together and start a chess club.
PS: I am not a wizkids lover, i just like the figs and game..they just so happen to be the company that makes them
Thank you for letting me vent!
And here you are, whining about whining.
That's the way the internet works, man. Free exchange of ideas. As long as there's an internet, you'll find someone whining about something. Watch Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, they explain it much better than I can.
I'm not too thrilled with this Ultimate Scarlet Witch they put out. I was looking for a serious threat. Instead she's a minor upgrade to the Infinity Challenge Scarlet Witch.

I'm very glad I decided to skip on getting a case of this set. I'm not impressed with this set at all, let's see if it ends up selling out as fast as Legacy did, if at all.
