All duos do not split/merge. Who do Jack and Ten split into? King and Queen? Will Magnus and Platinum? It's the same as before, they do not retroactively get new abilities unless they're just a change to an ability they already have, like leadership now taking tokens off, for example. Split/Merge is not just a new part of the duo ability itself, it's part of Ant Man and Wasp's power.

All duos gain the ability to split and all regular attack symbol figures gain the ability to merge. Of course they have to have a corresponding duo or single figure to merge/split to so most single figures won't be able to merge and some duos (Royal Flush Gang for example) won't be able to split. But the abilities are retroactive as they're being added to the duo and standard attack symbols (as well as sharpshooter). The article on the WK site says as much "There will be a Duo-Guide released around the same time as Chaos War that will provide the character/real names for all pre-existing Duos, to make these figures in your collection easier to use."

What was the reasoning behind overlapping four clicks of battle fury non optional with running shot? They can't make ranged attacks when in fury, so that is just a waste they better hope they are already based with an opponent and can just duo attack close combat.

These guys better hope and pray they don't go up against a Con Dr. Fate...

They've got about a 50/50 shot at surviving him depending on his backup. Perplex up attack to 13, running shot range of ten with a 12 move total range up to 16 squares, 5 damage will kill fate right off. Just have to be careful around his trait.

Back in the old days they could Thunderbolt Arachnos. Good times.

Well the special power granting Running Shot also grants Shape Change, so at least the power isn't a complete waste.

9,,7,7,7,7,5,5,7,7,9......that is the damage value of this golden aged duo monster. I have to say that even after all of these years and through all of these new sets, the Thor/Loki duo STILL hold up against modern comparisons. Their point value has JUST started to inflate as they are now around 340-350 points instead of being closer to 400. Their stats despite being from hammer of Thor are still insane. Damage value without duo attack considered is decent enough with an opening and closing click of 5. Their attack values are consistent and their defense stats are an average 17-18. I love that double TA...few figures get double team abilities but these guys deserve it. I see a powerhouse that requires finnesse which is ironically the ying/yang theme this dial represents. It all depends on the player...a novice could get this figure killed quickly. An experienced player would make this old figure haunt a venue. One day I hope to fight this figure with my Doom/kang duo just to see what happens. I would use that extra 60+ points to activate doom/kang s wildcard ta and go to town.
