More god **** cardboard! Price change, major deviation from the core game, reeks of MK and MW

I dislike the cards w/ special powers bit. That seems like a pain. the rest is good.

Exciting news...Scarey news...but interesting...

The only two stinkers IMHO are worse sculpts and paint for lower rairities...and ranking + ratings (UGH!).

Everything else was too cool for school!!!

I guess Im one of the few that like it. I like the bio on the cards.

So, is it just uniques that get the white power? or every figure?

It read as if, they are doing away with LE prize support?

I dont like not getting an entire REV set in a set. But at the same time, it makes more figures playable. I mean, unless the build total is low, I wont play my R Manhunter, when I have my Vet Jonn Jonez. But now, if all I Have to play is my rookie, it will see more action.

I like the Ironspider suit. and we finally get a bucky.

I like the news overall. 7.5 out of 10

Wow, tons of news and changes, I wonder how the new and old style clixs will interact with each other.
It looks very good at first glance, I will wait and see how it is implemented before drawing a conclusion.

wish i could see the mag. this sounds like it could end up just like MK for me (which i played since the first set, just like HC) why make it HCDDM? if these changes are as dramatic as im thinking they are, im done and thats terrible to me. i hope im wrong

Very nice job on the 1st issue of the new year Rock and crew...

Not sure about all the "new rarity and cards" stuff, but as I start to wrap my mind around it, it all seems okay. I love the idea of the cards. They'll really help new players understand things (powers, abilities, etc) right off the bat. The new boxes look shiny enough, it'll just be a little odd seeing them on the shelf next to the old stock come June or so.

Iron Man! Whoo-hoo!!!
Iron Spidey. Eh.

Uh yeah - Bucky. Cool. (As long as Winter Soldier is somehow thrown in the mix!)

"up to 5 figures"

doesnt mean you will always get 5. specially with the giantman on the cover of one of the boosters

OK all, I'm out of heroclix!

Old style: 12 boosters x 4 figs each = 48 figs out of a possible 32 DIFFERENT Figs (28 rev and 12 U's) 4 bricks a case.

NEW WAY: 10 boosters x 5 figs = 50 figs out of 60 dif figs? 2 brix a case?



NO THANKS! see ya!!!

All I got to say is WOW just WOW it's going to take a some time to digest this as well as see what effect it has on play/ collectibility/ core mechanics.

One thing I wasn't sure of does that mean that there's 120 sculpts to collect for Marvel this year in the base sets, 100 for DC and then the action packs for more goodness? Oh!, my aching wallet thought it was going to see a moderate break this year (old model 2 DC +1 Marvel).

New booster artwork looks good. 5 figures per booster at $9.99 is reasonable enough for me.

The cards look interesting, but I honestly don't understand all the implications of that yet. I like the bio portion though.

The part about 60 different sculpts and BETTER quality sculpts is AWESOME! That is some news I can get behind! I'm also pumped about the frequency of set release! So, we get 3 sets, not two, between now and the end of the year, as well as some other goodies like the packs. That is cool. Overall, great announcements!

WK may have gained me back as a player and collector. As far as I'm concerned, this was all great news. I'm REALLY looking forward to having more characters in a set.

I ASSUMED (you know what they say about that) this meant that the more common figures would have sculpts like we have been seeing in SN and Origin, but the rare figs would be in ultra detail. So, nothing worse than what we already have and some better. Time will tell though...

I'm not sure how to take this announcement. On the one hand I LIKE the idea of 60 characters per set, all with unique sculpts. On the other hand, I also play SWM and D&DM and one thing I LOVE about Heroclix is that I DON'T have to bring a card per character to each game with Heroclix. :P

I'm also unsure about the "white" powers. Seems like they could seriously unbalance the game in favor of newer characters with this bonus if it's not handled carefully. I don't see that as a good thing. I'm currently trying to replace all my carpy IC and HT (and similar sets) with newer, Seth-designed figs, and I'm happy to do that...but I don't want to have to start the process over again with "character card figs" because they are more playable than older figures!

I'm liking the 4 sets a year plan (in fact I called it a few weeks ago ), and the idea of themed events.

The rarity scheme concerns me...one thing I got from that section was "we know a lot of people hate the chase figures, but we choose to take this as a good thing". Kind of WK's own spin on "there's no such thing as bad publicity". I fear this attitude may result in more popular characters being made as chase figures, and that would seriously tick me off.

I wish they'd have given more information on future Horrorclix licenses (give me my Buffy set Wizkids!!!).

I don't care one bit about booster art being drawn by comic artists...does anyone else care about this? I hope they aren't paying much money for this "bonus".

I like that the Avengers booster art was included, and it shows us that we're getting Bucky, a new Moon Knight, Iron Spider, and 616 Giant-Man (finally!) with a new Wasp. We already have a great Cap, and I'm meh about Ultimate Hulk and Ultimate Iron Man though. Of course if the Hulk is good, I may just call him 616 Hulk.

I also like that we were told about the DC big tournament series (Starro!) and who all the heralds (Marvel and DC) are going to be!

I'm "meh" about a championship. As long as that doesn't mean less "Fun" events (Battle for Foom style tournaments, and Battle Royales) at cons, I'm okay with it.

So I see potential good and bad here. I'll have a better feel for it after we get the Avengers set and the Legion action pack (8 figures, yeah! ). A lot will depend on how they carry off the character cards I think. I'm willing to give them a few hundred dollars and the benefit of the doubt and see how it pans out.

I'm a little worried about the character cards, but overall it seems like good news.
