Great dial and sculpt for Starfire! She's very close to how I imagined her, design-wise. I've given up on keywords-- just give me a playable character with a reasonable cost, and I'll be happy.
At first glance, Arsenal appears to be a bit overpriced for what he does (just the like Legacy Vet), but his trait and Outsiders TA make him a decent ranged attacker in higher point games.
I don't like to say bad things but even though Arsenal looks cool he's kind of a dud. No sharpshooter? just one lightning bolt? 7 range? the special power could have been better but there is too many factors ( hit target, keep the power til next turn, roll a 5 or 6 and then hope there is no damage reducing powers to get in the way.) Would have been better if on a 5 or 6 add a token on the figure or on a 5 or 6 deal 1 penetrating damage or even on a 5 or 6 deal 3 damage to the figure.
Starfire is really cool hopefully the Teen Titans one will be similar but with titans keyword and team ability. The reason she doesn't have any of that is because this isn't the real character this is based on the new 52 version. I could only barely read the first issue but in it she is just there as eyecandy and to have sex with the main characters of the comic. She doesn't know anything about Dick or Teen Titans nor do they seem to exist in new 52 except as whatever that comic with that title is? um did I say I didn't like to say bad things?
I'm sure there will be a Jason in the set but I agree being in the team pack would have been better. I don't think any fan boys were hoping for a version of this character but like I said I barely got through the first issue so I don't know the character so I could be wrong.
Really? I read the first issue of new 52 titans and I have no idea what was happening. Cassie was a car thief and superboy... an evil clone or something and no one knew each other and that was it for any characters I reconized.
After reading Starfire's card and seeing her dial I was like Yay! Then it was like everything fell off a cliff. Arsenal and Crux are just ugly dials. Arsenal has a great trait, don't get me wrong, but when he tops only at 11 attack with an opening 16 defense and no defensive power whatsoever, he's a huge dud and super expensive for the points. Sure, he's got the Outsiders TA, which apparently has now made it's way to the Outlaws on top of being used for Outsiders and Doom Patrol, but that ability nowhere near merits his bloated cost. What more, his power Timebomb, while kind of neat, is about as useful as Energy Explosion in this game when Toughness and more powerful damage reducers are being handed out like candy. And let's not even talk about that 6-5 speed value with Running Shot, which can potentially increase his range potential to a 10 at most, of which Hawkeye and even Green Arrow have on their worst days. Arsenal was a huge let down. And Crux, oh wow, Crux. His charge is decent, but the rest of his numbers start bad and get so much worse. It's like looking at a dial from a character in the days of Mutations and Monsters and before, except even those characters had special powers to play around with. Crux is a huge point sink at 82 points for whatever you call that. You can get the infinitely better Starfire in the same pack for a point more, and then there's GSX Storm, Mystique, M10 The Thing, Nebula, Medusa, SoG Dove, BM Batgirl, Poison Ivy, and the list goes on and on and on for characters that can hold their own so much better than him in a four point range of him.
Crux is an enemy of starfire because it was her people's ship that crashed and killed his parents. That being said, he was never part of batman, never set foot in gotham, and never on the team with the outlaws. WHY THE #### DID WE GET THIS PIECE OF CRAP INSTEAD OF RED HOOD!?
