Just double-checking. I don't have a crew to check this against, so it's to the realms brain trust again!!

Pay for it and it's equipped on your assigned figure from the start?

Man...it's going to take some getting used to!! lol

Yup that's how it works now, pay the points to add it to your force, and then choose a character for it to start equipped, Wizkids has updated the comprehensive rule book if you wanted to see any other changes.

Pym Particles was always a personal favorite piece of equipment that I felt never shone as brightly as I though it should. I suspect part of it is due to its original era, with other team-building options in addition to the clumsiness of the original equipment rules.

I specifically liked using Pym Particles to activate the , because it opened up the number of targets available for close-combat move-and-attack figures. The current (2022) rules have made most terrain a non-issue for characters, but Giant Reach (and improved line-of-fire) will always have a special place in my heart.

Back-in-the-day: I used this with a couple of different high-priced figures with move-and-attack plus Stealth (the 140-point AoU Black Panther comes to mind) simply to make those figures more competitive, but there is no shortage of much lower-priced figures that could use either or to become even more effective.

Time to see if I still own these.

Two points for Great Size and its super-Willpower...

This. As soon as I found a PP for a reasonable price after the change, it was on its way for that exact reason.

Found mine. Tonight, See-through John Cena, whom you simply can't see if he hits, had Giant Reach 2 and Great Size. Thus, when he hit someone, you couldn't see him, but you couldn't see the guy behind him due to his size either.

Ahhh, Clix logic.

I didn't have to look hard to find mine; they were in my travel play box.

As exciting as the Pym Particles are, upon hearing about the new equipment rules the equipment that my mind first went to was the 4-point Earth X Venom Symbiote, simply because Venompool doesn't have the inherent Shape Change/Plasticity/Breakaway of the subsequent generation of Venomized characters. The SR Venom that brought the Venom Symbiote to the table was IMO an unreliable use of points; there is no shortage of figures that can make better use of that Symbiote.
