Man, with all the crazy powers Harpy Lady is given, I'm surprised they didn't toss her the Mystical keyword while they were at it, seeing as how they weren't trying to be accurate or anything.
I finally tracked one of these down. I'll be painting her green to serve as the Betty Ross Harpy since I don't think Marvel HeroClix will ever give us one. As it stands though, even if they did, I don't see how she could be any better than this monster.
Not too many figures made as simple as Harpie. Not to look for some trickery but Harpie and Adamantium Specialist would be fun together. That 2 click is a low attack but the dial is long enough that its worth it
The yU-Gi-Oh clixs are digital fighting programs. Her dial is extremely straight to the point and vicious which is seems to make since because she is a delicate flight creature. If she were to get caught it'd be game over. KINDA LIKE A SNIPER mentalitiy
8 clicks of Super Senses, half of those also with Combat reflexes would be "game over if caught"? The problem with this figure is not only can it put out more consistent damage than most characters twice its cost, but it can survive just as long as well.
Yayyyyyy, more people complaining about product saturation in units. Cause that's always what Units comments needs! Yessir, I sure do read my Units comments to get my daily dose of doom n' gloom, boy howdy.
I definitely understand the accuracy complaints, though, as this was my first reaction on seeing this dial: "Wow. Somebody on the design team really likes Mai. I guess he was hoping they could paint the town red together?" Ridonkulous for the points, would be crazy at half again the cost, and on top of that when KOed gets to become either a very good spell, or a very good trap. While the Harpie ladies are not as weak as msthomps1 is kvetching for a clix translation, they should not be *nearly* this capable even if the decision was made that a 4-star card warranted being this many points instead of in the 55-80 point range with a more...well, singular powerset. Like just regular Charge/Blades/SS for a five to six click figure, or one that alternates (but does not stack) the available powers. I could *almost* see the Harpie Sisters doing what this figure does (for more points!), but even then as a fusion of weaker, common Harpie Lady figures. A Harpie deck functions by working together and buffing each other, not by sending out a single monster from the get-go! I was really hoping we'd get figure(s) more representative of that for Harpie Lady, or at least a trait or special power that granted effects based on other copies being on your force (Triplicate-Girl/Seven-Deadly-Brothers style traits). Instead we got a flying automatic dicing machine with too many clicks of life as a super-rare that only really fears Precision Strike attached to strong ranged attacks. Even the argument "but in the show/manga!" doesn't really justify this dial. At least there's other good/accurate figures recently, but it does make me sad to see the same old complaints about figure and set design stick around (rarer figure is both inaccurate and more powerful, looks like a clear fan/cash grab).

Feb 2015: JL Trinity War has have given us the CSA, playable and together. Twice. ROCK ON!
REClixed: Justice for Dmitri Pushkin (your sacrifice will not be forgotten)! New generic Rocket Red @50-75 points while we're at it? Still no 19DV Defender? (WoS Groot doesn't count)
