Now That's ONE BAD ### Sculpt!


I mean It's Totally Sweet!

Reminds me of Brazil (the country) or Las Vegas.

Sorry, I missed that whole line where it says: Team: X-Men

my bad

"Rachel Summers uses her "special" Mardi Gras special attack! Your incapacitated now!"

Cool sculpt.

But a cool sculpt doesn't make the figure playable. She'll see good use in home scenarios, but for tournament play, I just can't justify the cost.

oh well, there's still 11 other uniques to go

The fig is beautiful. I like what someone said earlier about there being a trade off. A larger range would have made her cost more and also make her more powerful, this helps keep things toned down a little. Great addition to my X-Men team, now I need some good additions to my Avengers team.

Sweet Monkey Jesus, yes!

Let's see, REV Superman, Darkseid (in some people's opinion), U Batgirl (!!!!!!), and a few others.

But overall, no biggie, really.

As for Phoenix, this is "Rachel" Summers, not Jean Gray as Phoenix. Rachel was displaced from a future reality and is Jean and Scott's ... I want to say ... daughter? I forget exactly (and you can never rule out the future clone or impersonating alien in Marvel )

Rachel was cool and pretty powerful, but NOT "Phoenix - Eater of Worlds" powerful. Nowhere NEAR that level of power (until some goofy stuff at the end of her normal run). The stats and powers seem to be a fairly good representation of her, actually.

Who knows, we may even get a nice big Dark Phoenix in an upcoming set?

she should easily have been as many points as Nova.

the 6 range is what kills her. Out wit supersenses and blast away from 8 or 10 squares.

Magneto would eat her up.

The sculpt is a little over the top for my tastes, and 6 range is bummer but I won't make any final judgements until I see her dial in full. Having her mom TK her into PW range my be an interesting theme team strategy.

Wow, guys, this is a UNIQUE. This is whatcha' want.
GOOD job designers.

Holey Schmactoley!!

The sculpt looks even better at the WizKids site (you can rotate it 360!)

And then you hand your opponent the 86 points you sacrificed to get her within 3 squares of an enemy.

She'll top out at 7 clicks of life, Max.

Ummm, seriously? Did you read this part, dude?

Sooo, let's see. 86 points. 11 AV, 3 damage + RCE = 5 damage. 6 range. 16D with SuperSenses. Oh yeah, and PulseWave.

And as a flyer, she can continue to use RCE even when based (under the new rules, she can even use RCE while shooting out of adjacentcy).

I repeat. 11AV, 5 damage, 86 points. What the heck do YOU use for tournaments? Galactus???

(I'm not being an arse Krusty, just ribbing you)

Well, she's not their son, so yes, I'd have to say daughter.

She's from an alternate future timeline, the 'Days of Future Past' furture where the Sentinals have taken over America and killed/hunted down/imprisoned all the superhumans. IIRC, her mother is actually the Phoenix, not Jean Grey, in her reality Dark Phoenix was cured of her madness instead of commiting suicide. But maybe I'm wrong, Claremont was probably already insane by the time he created her .....

So you're saying that you can't think of any tactical situations where you would find an 86 point, 11AV, 5 damage figure strategically worthwhile?

Seriously, are you having a bad day at work or something? LOL!!!
