Gargantua and I have decided to play a game based on what we ranked as the best figures of 2019.

The rankings come from our top 10s of the DC and Marvel sets. We also can consider figures that Wizkids released as one offs. Lastly, we're throwing in up to three 'second glance' choices; figures whose value we realized in hindsight.

As many figures were listed on both of our top 10s, we may duplicate picks already chosen.

We're planning this as a 2500 point set.

These are the focused sets of 2019:

Earth-X
Rebirth
Captain Marvel Movie
Black Panther & Illuminati
Regenesis
X-Men Dark Phoenix Saga

My starting team:

RE Tempest 75
RE Starfire 75
WCR14.1 Hope Summers 70
AIM Blue Squad x 3 120
Skull Technician 50
WCR Archangel 100
XSDPS Onslaught 125
XSDPS Gambit 65

680

Figures used: AIM Blue Squad, WCR Archangel, XSDPS Gambit, Hope Summers, Onslaught, Starfire, Tempest

Initiative: 10 and 6

"X-Men, Titans, AIM Blue Squad...it is time to do my bidding," says Onslaught.

"Don't forget me, I'm a Skrull," the Skrull Technician says.

"I don't like this," Tempest says, "Why are we following someone we don't even know."

"Trust me," Archangel says, "I know him, that doesn't make things any better."

40 RE052E Mister Oz
75 ABPI048 Astronomer
150 CMM021 Captain Marvel
75 CMM014 Att Lass
100 CMM020 Ronan
40 EAX030 The Skull
70 FFXDPS001 Wolverine
125 EAX056 Iron Man
675

I get 4, so map choice is certainly yours.

"You've looked better, Stark," Wolverine said to the old man in the chair.

"You're hysterical, Logan," Tony Stark said sarcastically.

"Any idea why we're here?" Captain Marvel asked, leading a Kree contingent with Ronan and Att Lass.

"You're here because I brought you here," the Astronomer said.

"And he brought you here because I told him to!" the Skull bragged.

"Well, actually..." Mr. Oz said, stepping from the shadows.

How about this?

"I can't wait to tear into them with my starbursts," Starfire sneers.

"Wow, that's pretty aggressive," Hope Summers says.

"That's Onslaught talkin' through her, mon ami," says Gambit.

"If he gets things done," the AIM Squad Leader says, "It's alright with me and my boys."

Iron Man starts with two of his Iron Avengers and takes an action to make the third.

I'm gonna need my pc maybe. Navy sides to J3.

Skrull tech tks him to F3.

Tempest and Hope boost Onslaught's range to 11. Goes for free incap on Oz, Monolith and Sting. Rolls 5. Glad I moved my pc. Navy makes it 11. SS is 3, 1 to Oz. Monolith is koed. Iron Man is safe. Token to Sting.

Other AIMS side to L and N6.

You've got plenty of figures in range, but Oz isn't one of them. He's H21.

But if you want to choose any of those other figures that are in row 16 be my guest. Except Steelbow who's too far over to the right.

Right. To be fair, I'll keep the same picks and replace Oz with Ronan. I'll make a new attack. Gets 8. Monolith is still koed, a token to both Ronan and Sting.

I'll have him make a proper attack, too. Seems silly not to with his range extended. Att Lass, Marvel and Ronan then. Rolls 4. Onslaught makes it 11. 1 to Att Lass. 1 also to Carol after invincible.

That works. Monolith's not KOd by the Incap though. Those Iron Avengers all have Indom. It's sick, but there you are.

Here goes. Astronomer TKs SKull to I21

Skull tries to MC Tempest. If he single targets, he has no range limitation. AV12 on DV17. Gets 10.

Tempest Moves to D12

Ronan Sides to E18, attacks Tempest. AV11 on DV17. Gest 5. Oz makes it 8. Onslaught's out of range. 4 Penetrating to Tempest.

Captain Marvel RS to F18 on Tempest, AV10 on DV18. Also gets 8. KOs Tempest.

Sting to D12 to block

Strongbow and Monolith Side to P14 and C14 respectively.

"Garth?" Starfire asked as Tempest started walking over to the enemy.

"I have to go now, Kori," he said, even as the Kree pounced on him, attacking him with energy blasts, bringing him down.
