I love the return of Taunt. Not that I'm really interested in another Thor, but at least this one offers something a little different.

Not bad. don't know if I'd choose him over the FF Tor.. but much more team freindly then the 200+ point versions..

Interesting powers.. alright stats..

The AE is almost as brutal as Outback Hulk..

Love it....and any dial that allows me more ways to sub in Beta Ray Bill is a good thing...

This is a totally boss Thor, but the FCBD Thor offers me a great dial with 2 great point values for team building. Not to mention I already switched my favorite sculpt onto the dial (supernova might thor)

.......but he continues to tie into a big movie.......how much has it made so far?

With the exception of Nate none of the others have the name recognition.........there is a mix of 'never made/remade after a while/frequently remade' figs. The frequently remade figs are there for a reason and beileve it or not they are one of the big reasons that we even continue to get unmade figures made.

Sounds like some figures that should/could be showing up in a 'Wolverine themed X-men set' which I think a good chunk of people are considering the front runner for the next Marvel full set.

If by 'blatant wallet-gouging' you mean offering me clix that I want to buy and then actually enjoying those clix I bought.....then yes, I believe I will. Thanks for the well wishes.

But this seems to be a real issue for you.............if so don't buy it. It's OK to say no.

Don't forget Iron Man! He hasn't had a set focused on him in a while (AW I think is the last one) but I do expect a movie set to drop when IM-3 is in theaters.

But they were in the movie as well so I expect to see them in focus as well.

I know to some people the Movie sets are completly different..............but that's silly to me. Thor is Thor and Sinestro is Sinestro. I just don't mind the 'A-list focus' when there are rationel for it.

And a movie that has grossed enough to be gross is a good rationel.

Your response is far too logical and reasonable...and also smacks of appreciation for the game while also avoiding an egocentric view of the world. In short, it is totally inappropriate for the 'realms...

Art Thou Too Craven To Fight?: Give Thor a free action if he has no action tokens and choose an opposing character within Thor's range and line of fire that is not adjacent to any other characters.

Sandman would have to base the craven villain AFTER Thor used Taunt. I like that combo.

Nice alternative to the other 8 Thor figs we've gotten recently; he seems pretty good for his points. And he'll have an AE of Dr. Donald Blake, hmmm.

How about some obscure criticism?

This figure represents the thirteenth version (literally) of Thor since Wizkids issued the “Thor Corps” Keyword… not to get the Keyword. Were the rights to “Thor Corps” lost in the transfer?

I’m not going to argue whether we need three or four Thor representations in every set, but if we have to have them, it should be easy to fill both criteria: appeal to the mass-consumer/newb and satisfy the collector/comic book reader/neckbeard.

Oh, and I need another Beta Ray Bill and Thunderstrike for this particular example to matter.

The specific use of the phrase "peel back the shell" indicates the clue is referring to that master of evil, EGGHEAD! The shield is probably referencing the energy shield devides he uses from time to time.



FWIW, I'd much rather have two Taskmasters in this set than two Thors. :P

I prefer to be realistic about my hobbies. I could compare all my games against each other and get bad opinions of all of them, or I can take what I know about each, look at the pros and cons with a bit of distance, and use other games to inform my opinions.

Clix has a much longer shelf life than most games, and that successful run must be for a reason.

This doesn't even compare to the new Rookie Brainiac, whose cheaper and ridiculously more deadly.

Interesting take. As another not big Thor fan, he just looks like another Thor to me, and we're swimming in them right now. But you've caused me to give him another look.

I agree that marquee characters need to be reprinted fairly regularly, but I think with the passel o' Thors we just got in the AVM sets, this guy just seems like overkill.

FWIW, for Overpower, I thought the characters that were best in the game were those with one or more 8s (or Infinity symbols, like Beyonder). Of course, the addition of the Intellect(?) stat really changed the game quite a bit and made older characters a little less good. But generally, I just wanted 8s, preferably in the same stat category so I could tailor my deck to them.

All of you nay-sayers deserve a good smiting.

I was referencing Wizkids and its employees, but yes, we can extend that to the unpaid reviewers and previewers as well.

I just don't see why anyone would have a problem getting a neat figure like this with this new sculpt and dial. I don't understand that, even if it is a "remake."

I want it, that's for sure.
