Title: Marvel HeroClix: Days of Future Past Action Pack
Stock Number: WZK3310
MSRP: $24.99
Expected Release:
October 2006

This is the mission your X-Men have been training for. In the brutal dystopia of Days of Future Past, mutants are herded into concentration camps by towering Sentinels—giant robots bent on the eradication of the mutant genome. Rachel Summers is the new keeper of the Phoenix force—manifesting the genetic legacy of her mother Jean Grey and the resilience and determination of her father Scott Summers, the X-Man known as Cyclops, both long dead. Wolverine is among the few mutants still free—a Canadian resistance fighter dedicated to a world long past. Join forces with the heroes of a sad and terrible future against mutant kind’s greatest enemy, the Sentinel.

The Marvel HeroClix: X-Men Days of Future Past Action Pack includes one colossal Sentinel, one Rachel Summers figure, and one Wolverine figure; one full-size map; one feat and one battlefield condition card—the perfect gift for any X-Men fan!

Contents:

Colossal Advanced Sentinel figure
Rachel Summers – The Hound figure
Wolverine – Colonel Logan figure
1 Battlefield Condition card
1 Feat card
Rules insert, Powers and Abilities Card.

Wow, considering the Sentinel iteself was originally 15 - 20, this isn't a bad price.

Can't wait!

Gotta have that wolverine

on top of that they already made this version of him.

Maybe the Senty won't be junk

Can't wait - what a great idea! What a year for Marvel! What a pity I didn't get first post!

Now THIS I can get excited about...MORE SENTINELS!!!!!

Damn straight I'll buy this...This is the year of Marvel!

I just hope that they are differant then the ones we already have. In dial and appearance.

Wow, lots of cools stuff coming fast and furious.

This story was/is incredibly depressing when 1st read. Why would anyone want to relive it with plastic? It is Marvel's insistence on reminding us that their heroes are seen in the same light as their villains and both are persecuted by the government that makes reading the Xmen intollerable. And this is that theme taken to the extreme. Pass.

On the Wizkids site Hair10 said that the dials of the figures in this package are all new. NEW SENTINEL!!!!! He will go great with my current 3! They still kick arse. And now they will have a new friend to play cature the Superman with Muhahahahaha

And a Rachel figure for Excalibur teams without having to blow a load on Phoenix!

It might be notice it says "Advanced Sentinal" can't wait.
Plus maybe a feat geared to the X-Men?

My comments from another thread:

My guess is that we'll get more than 3 clicks of life for the extra increments of 100 points....this was always the biggets drawback to the figure, IMO.

This is also great news for Excalibur fans, since it means we will have a choice of which 'Rachel' to use!

I'll also guess that the feat card (named Hounds?) is along the lines of Thunderbolts (fixed cost per member) which allows a player to build a force of both Sentinels and Xmen/Brotherhood that essentially makes the Hounds be the AE of non-Hound mutants.

No guess as to the BFC, except that the name will be "Days of Future Past".
