Speed - Trait: Excessive Force: When Magog KO's an opposing character, after actions resolve Magog may take one action as a free action.
Damage - A Teacher and Healer, In the End: Magog can use Support. When he does, the targeted character's defense value becomes Magog's unmodified defense value. Before any attack rol, Magog may replace his defense value with the unmodified defense value of an adjancent friendly character.

Wow. Magog is awesome. Very reminiscent of the original KC Magog. 172 points, that's it Interesting that they made him a rare.

Also, why the return of the KC TA? I don't get it? I thought the Hypertime TA was replacing it?

There is no "Kingdom Come TA."

The KC symbol is a separate indicator for the Hypertime TA, making Hypertime the only TA with two symbols.

Very interesting we have the start of an rev mechanic in the cur era.

Maxwell Lord's trait looks sick, though luckily he's somewhat expensive. He's more or less a more expensive version of Bob from Captain America. The 3 target mind control is a little overkill, and I think it amps up his cost a lot.

Magog looks a lot weaker then the original KC version. I definitely think I messed up when I sold the old one for $15. This will most likely drive up his price even more so then before.

I'm surprised I haven't seen a KC Superman yet in this set. I'm sure he will be coming though.

Not sure if I'm excited about this. Repeated reuse of sculpts has been around even in Modern Age but going through and essentially releasing 3 versions of characters is not something I miss from Golden Age days

I digress, Maxwell Lord is AWESOME and Magog an absolute BEAST

Great job with these figures.

KC Magog has always been one of my most favorite figures to play. He has lost some playability with the low defense of 16.
Wizkids did a great job with the new version. Defense is better AND he still has that Charge/SS/EW deadly combo.

The RS Pulsewave is a neat change.

I always forget to use his TA though. Is it not copyable???

I think I'll be selling my old Magog now indeed. Both new ones are great & way better for thier points than him.

But this Magog is the only one valid in Modern Play.

And you underestimate his trait: Excessive Force: When Magog KO's an opposing character, after actions resolve, Magog may take one action as a free action

This lets Magog perform 2 actions in a turn. While still being cheaper than the original. It's something I don't think people should overlook when comparing the old vs. new.

I prefer a very good dial with in a repaint that a useles clix with an awesome sculpt (i'm looking at you sf clixs).

its very cool....but lame they reuse clix...MAKE SOMETHING NEW...

Both look awesome!

I wonder if KC Magog means there are plans to re-clix the other KC characters for the modern age, including Superman.

Magog? Might have given him Psychic/Penetrating, but otherwise no complaints.

Maxwell? Well THAT'S more like it. Still not the monster from Infinite Crisis, but a sneaky bastard not to be underestimated.

Um.

Can I be the confused one and ask why we have two previews we've already had before?

Wait...

So are there two of both of these in the set? O.o
