Greetings HeroClix Fans! Today’s preview is none other than that most nefarious of villains, a constant foil to the forces of freedom, and an eternal enemy to S.H.I.E.L.D., Baron Strucker!

At 150 points, Baron Strucker is well-suited to lead your hordes of Hydra minions into battle! Early-dial Running Shot allows Strucker to aim his attacks from a vantage point of his choosing, while Mastermind and Leadership lets Strucker get the most out of his followers. [...]

That is an awesome sculpt and an amazing dial. I think this just became my must have from the set . . . :knockedou

I want to like this figure, but at 150 points he is half your team, running shot with a 4 range is a moot point. The only saving graces are the 2 damage poison (even that is limited) and his trait. Being able to ignore your own figures for LOF is a game winning ability.
I gotta say, I cant wait to play a 1000 point HYDRA team, the figures alone are ok, but when you put them in a team togther, they are almost unstoppable now.

Interesting in a large point Hydra team. Someone's going to insert WoS Deadpool and wildcard to Hydra to shoot through friendlies.

So German intelligence equals Running Shot? Better watch out for Dr.Morbius when he comes running. j/k buddy

Very nice. But cue the complaints about another iconic villain being a SR.

Too expensive for my by fifteen to twenty points.

I Think for the points the old one is better. As I said in another thread, Running Shot 4 range is a huge turn off. I like the Blades power and the up front Mastermind, but he should have gotten Charge to make it more effective instead of Running Shot. Don't see myself wanting him a whole lot, but if he's easy to get or if I pull him easily...

True puppet master behind HYDRA? Are we finally getting Hate Monger? Or will this be Zemo or Viper?

Kinda cool. Although unnecessarily 150 points. He could have been scaled back a bit, and been 115, and been representative.

Well now that's just great. Now I want a Sucker Punch heroclix fast forces set, thanks to your headline.

I do like how inventive these special powers have become lately, and I especially like how the big evil leaders are Super Rares. Since my playing style doesn't really emphasize Mastermind, Leadership and Poison - I won't try to collect Strucker and Schmidt.

eBay CUR set, here I come.

the point cost is too much for the dial alone, but i think I'd pay 100 points just for his trait...which makes his 50 point dial a bargain.

That trait has game-changing significance.

I think the dial will work - alone Strucker is pretty vulnerable but with a group of (respawning!) minions he could be a very tough fight. I suppose we'll see a new/old Zemo, Baron Blood and/or Arnim Zola, too. What will they be costed at?

Looks fun, but I'll trade him for Squirrel Girl if I have to. She's the only must have piece for me so far. I'm still not excited for this set, but there is still time for Wizkids to change my mind.
