This is GREAT! THANKS! The only thing I would've preferred character-wise is Mr. Sinister and The Nasty Boys instead of the Reavers, but they did finally make Angel First Class, C'hod and several other favs like the Upstarts, the rest of the Hellfire Club Inner Circle, Lockheed by himself and whatnot.
Superman: "One of these days, Lois....POW!!! Right to the Marvel Universe!"
Of all the figures the one I am looking forward to the most is Leach. I created a dial for him several months ago with a special Trait that could nerf CSM. I hope he has a similar Trait.
not bad but i thought his powers only worked on mutants?? and artie could always use his powers around leach...and when he and artie helped out spiderman, spider man didn't lose his powers nor did any of the avengers while they were in the avengers mansion
Like I said, haven't had a Hulk (as in THE Hulk) in over three years.
I concur as I do not count Jeph Loeb debauchery as true HULKs. To this day I know we've had some solid pieces of Banner in Heroclix past, but to me he's someone that they have not hit an ABSOLUTE home run with. Again, solid & great pieces, but none that hands down that make me say, "now THAT is the freaking' HULK!"

and what also could be cool is that they finish up x-factor in the set...its kinda a tie into FF B^P also give another reason for another madrox B^P
But for those who love Mutants, with the exception of Mutants and Monsters we haven't had a lot of other figures created for us.
Marvel has had a huge amount of sets that were specific to certain teams and groups. HoT and Avengers could have the same said of them for the most part.
I really don't mind the balancing out.
I'll give you Avengers, which you could say was up to 4/5th Avengers and foes, but just over half of HoT (31 of 60) was non-theme.
But you can't talk about balance when an entire set consists of one thing. That's not balance. I hope this is not a trend for the future, and while theme makes up a good chunk (say, around 50-60%) of a set, the rest is filled with figs to round out existing teams. There wouldn't be a need to risk sales with "mutants or bust" if they put 6-8 mutants in every Marvel set...

I'm fairly miffed at the character selection. I was planning on buying either a brick or a case but after seeing this, it's just going to be singles. This set was too theme-restricted. You could easily have cut out Nextwave for something good. We didn't need the Hellfire Guards or the new Sentinels. Hell, we didn't need the Reavers or Hellions.
I was hoping to get a new Mr. Sinister and some Marauders who have actually been important recently (unlike half this set). Well, at least I'll save some money.
Sorry you feel that way, an AOA sabertooth/ wildchild was my "want it now clix"
with the exception of nextwave, this could possibly be my favorite set ever from marvel! I've been playing clix since explosion, was thilled with fantastic forces and MnM. This set destroys HoT or web in my book.....without seing a dial.
I'm just sad that we have 30+ players and can't get everyone a brick, I wanted a case(and I'm getting one at midnight) and a few big boxes for the surprise, I know that alot of the younger clix players might not remeber the reavers but damn how can you hate a set thats 2 months away?
as for duo I called artie n leach....got half... no more powers inside say a 6 range.....love that little green guy....
last I call bring back "new guy night" I have the ability to pull sr's that I didn't want and have to trade for the ones I crave so juggernaut won't be in my case.....

I would love a Fantastic Four set. This year would be perfect because the FF turns 50 this year but Marvel said it doesn't want any more Zombies toys it might have to do with Giant-Man taking a bite out of Black Panther from Mutations & Monsters
THIS IS STUPID! There are remakes of Wolverine, Beast, Emma Frost, Iceman, and Professor X yet! Why NECA makes new remakes of these guys? It have to make remakes of other characters, like Toad, the only member from Classic Brotherhood WITHOUT REMAKE! I don't understand this! Instead of making remakes o new versions of other character NECA makes remakes of character that have a fig. yet! Colossus, for example. His M&M version is very bad, but he doesn't have a remake here, but Beast yes! Why? His M&M is great, he doesn't need a remake! That's ridiculous, truely! Believe me, I'm very disappointed with all of that. VERY DISAPPOINTED!
So it's okay to do remakes of the characters you want, but not characters you don't want? Makes perfect sense. You can't just be happy to see that half of your beloved original brotherhood are remade? silver lining and all that?

I understand that some people liked him, but I did not.
I had a great game with the Secret Avengers vs. the Watchmen. The whole game Beast and Rorschach kept each other tied up in hand-to-hand combat. It was very cinematic

If you're a "lifelong" X-fan you were there for Chuck Austen. Nothing is even close to that bad.
Anyway, enough feeding the troll. To get back on topic - a new Cannonball is cool. If he's in a Hellions outfit he may need a little work, though.
I too find it's hard to believe that if you stuck through Austin's run that ANYTHING could make you drop an X-book. I've collected Captain America for close to twenty years and never missed an issue. When Austin did Cap for that one story arc, I was so close to dropping it. Luckily it was only for one arc.
just realized something ....we got two pogs that are now clixed: Cypher (Douglas Ramsey) and Lockheed! (am not sure if Leech was pogged before...can't remember).
I would love a Fantastic Four set. This year would be perfect because the FF turns 50 this year but Marvel said it doesn't want any more Zombies toys it might have to do with Giant-Man taking a bite out of Black Panther from Mutations & Monsters
the people at marvel are ideots!!! i mean just look what they did to the mutants... only 198 mutants in the world?? stupid stupid stupid... its the one reason i only read x-factor..not many cross overs so far and not much has changed...except Rector
Leech was not (and technically we got Lockeed in sculpt form on Kitty before just not on the dial in any way)
So Marvel has made
Lockheed
Cypher
Jarvis
Jimmy Woo
Ken Hale
Mary Jane
JJJ
to 3-D (come one Swarm and DOD)
and Dc has
Mera
Joe Chill
Alfred
Lois Lane
Amanda Waller
Detective Chimp
Renee Montoya
Ted Knight
Carol Ferris
(Congorilla you're next)

I am hoping for Cable as Stryfe's LE. It would be comic accurate. And any future Cable needs an SP named "Stab his eyes!".
Other than breaking Gleek off of a SR, have they done any LE figures recently that weren't based solely on the Common level pieces? I would bet on an LE Sentinel, Wolverine, Doug Ramsey, Machine Man and hopefully an Artie to go with Leech. But even that is using an uncommon.
I hope to be wrong, because the LE potential is high in this set, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. It's not as though they would give us an LE Colossal Sentinel now would they?
