Seems like we need an Egghead too! Despite his total lameness, I found myself getting a little upset when he bought it in "Modok's 11." This dial does almost seem overpowered considering how often Modok (or anyone with a giant head) is taken down in the comics.

I always thought Professor Ivo made a good sub for Egghead, despite the INV.

Remember, Dr. Doom was a part of the Intelligencia.


A man can dream.

He does not have the Robot Keyword! Sadness. His previous fig did.

No, I always intended to follow up my "Head of H.A.T.E." preview with a bonus one titled "A Head Full of Hate!"

This figure is awesome and I must have it!!!

MODOK
Researcher
Professor X
298 Modern Age and ridiculously potent team that reminds me of a better version of Hooker Bomb

Good to hear. This means that not only do they not give in to the masses and give us what we scream for but that despite that, they are in tune with the players and fans and want to provide adequate quality previews.

As for the fig, very strong dial, not entirely sure its accurate but maybe I dont know know enough about him to judge but are we not throwing the 18 defence around a bit too easy? And impervious? I mean superman...onslaught and apocalypse are impervious to harm.
But MODOK?...isnt he just armored? (and lightly at that?) Anyway...its just an observation. As far as im concerned everyones fave should be a powerhouse so they enjoy using them (thanks for the UBER deadpools btw) Good preview though and this should keep people happy till the next big gun that gets revealed.

One point I would say if wizkids is listening (coming from a player who has been on here and playing since the first set) In my experience, the choice for previews is critical. It shows how high a bar you are setting for this set and who will be the 'ambassadors' of the set, setting the tone and attitude. Magneto as a preview was amazing. It created hype and instantly said...we are taking this set very seriously, have given it serious thought and these figs will be designed very well. He was the ambassador for the set and is still THE piece to own.

From a sales standpoint Wizkids is less inclined to want to promote demand, as it is currently operating a low run, high demand, zero surplus inventory business model with faster turnovers. I still think though that it should use its previews to set the tone properly for the set.

All good though and love the way the game is headed so far

So like, do the arms and legs come directly out of his head? I've never understood whether it was his head just grew bigger, or enveloped his body.

Here comes the mega scientist abuse teams! Squads and squads of Researchers and the like all surrounding MODOK... could they have BUILT him to be any more absurd? seriously?

They could've allowed him to carry and given him Indomitable. I actually wouldn't have minded seeing Indomitable, but he's still a nice figure.

Does that mean we might have an LE of him MODOK (the Mental Organism Designed Only for Kisses)? I'm sorry... No, I'm not.

Yes, I'm definitely wanting some more Intelligencia figs.

So I just went to Facebook and saw the picture of Heroclix online at the E3 booth, holy crap is MODOK big. I sure hope they have him hollowed out or something if not it's going to be EASY to cherry pick this guy.

Oh yeah, this will be the clix I am chasing this set! For those thinking he will be abused he won't be. He can't carry and the rule of three prevents insane abuse from scientist minions. Now some could argue he should not have impervious, but being one of the smartest minds in the marvel universe maybe he built better than the average armor. However the most important fact is his special pulse power can not be altered, you hear me cheese masters, his pulse wave CAN NOT be altered. His powers and stats are highly comic accurate. He really should not have mastermind as he himself is the focus of attacks.

The only thing he is missing is a few clixs of mind control. The big question is who else for intelligentsia will be introduced, or will leader and mad thinker be left with just their scientist keyword.

That is freakin' awesome. I gotta have me one, so long as he's not too expensive.
