take a look at Metallo!!! my gosh, he's a monster!!! and BEST looking figure..I wish that sculptor will do the same thing to Supergirl and the others...who the hell were WK thinking when they hired Arwyn to sculpt? I never liked his...I prefer James V. His sculpting is much much better!!! Metallo Whoa hope I nab him in the case!!

Well, the pics and stats are out. I think I'm disappointed but I haven't played in so long, I just don't know. I do know that I don't like the Legion sculpts at all. Brainy with KoKo on him? And the worst? The Shvaughn Erin unique, the Science Police named piece only available for winning a tournament? She's blonde. BLONDE! WTF? As usual, Legion fans get shafted. I guess I should be happy that at least they included some (2) Legionnaires in Unleashed but its hard to care after seeing them.

So anyway, here are the pics for those who care and links to their stats at HCRealms .

What exactly is HeroClix: collectible figures?, a game?, ????

I know I'm showing my ignorance but I haven't a clue!

Vee,

Its a game that uses collectible figures and maps instead of cards or books (like DnD). It has featured releases for DC and Marvel characters and even had a IndyClix release that covered independant books like CrossGen's Sojourn and Hellboy.

I was really into it for the first couple of years. Great fun and even came up with a way to play through e-mail with friends, inventing maps using Excell spreadsheets. But last year they messed with the rules and I lost interest. I still like the game and will buy some of this release to get the Legion figs for my collection but I won't be buying them by the case like I used to.

Coming in DC Heroclix Legacy in March:



Plus Kid Flash and Ra's Al Ghul.

Kid Q? Give me a break.

I used to be real big into HeroClix until they couldn't quit messing with the rules and ruined the game for me. I haven't bought a single piece since we got the last Legionnaires. And I always used to buy a case of each release.

I hear you about the rules changes, as there were probably a lot of defections when the flying rules changed.

Legacy is a very nice set, though. Kid Quantum and Wildfire will both have running shot, a pretty important ability in the game these days. Then you've got Persuader doing four damage with exploit weakness. And there's these new game features called feat cards, which provide extra abilities and will give Ra's the effects of the Lazarus Pit.

Not that I'm trying to talk you back into it. Just chatting about the set.

I've never played the game. In fact, I only bought the Legion figurines because...well, because they were Legion figurines. I'll surely buy these new ones.

I put up a gallery of pictures of the Legion-related clix. All the pics are from a Wizard Gaming Magazine (and they wrote the text).

Here\'s the gallery.

so what Legion heroclix are there all up? Is there a directory?

Go to heroclix.com, click on the DC part, and go to figure gallery. The page will have all the Legionnaires previously done and their sculpts, but probably won't have the newest ones (coming in March) listed yet.

So far, we've got Live Wire, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Chameleon, Cosmic Boy, a Science Police officer (named Shvaughn Erin for her 'limited edition'), Supergirl (it's old school Kara) and Mordru (also old school).

Several custom Dawnstar figures in HeroClix have been sold on eBay. I'm a bit astounded at the patience of those customizing something that small. I also have nothing to go with her if I did buy, since I don't collect or play. No actual "official" figure of her yet, right?

I'd love to get back into the game but just don't have the time. Somewhere around here I've posted the custom Garth and Imra I had done back during the first DC release, long before we got them in the regular set.

I started trying to custom a Dawnstar but found I didn't have the patience. I love painting DnD figures, have forever, but customizing Clix is way beyond me.

Cool (sort of) I have all the Legionnaire figures except Cham. I don't play the game at all but I'll get the little statues ... just because. Kinda like Sketchy.

off topic: Heyo Rusty! Glad to see you made it here guy! Took you long enough

I stopped buying Marvel sets long ago, but I still buy at least half-a-case of any DC set. This one will be good. I was hoping we might see some of Barry's new legionnaires, but I guess it's too early. Next set maybe.

My playing lately has been very sporadic, especially given the extent of my after-work theater commitments in the last year. When I do play though, I love to whip out my full Legion team, which includes official figures and my customs. They've proved very effective on several occasions, expecially when I use the Rookie Superman to stand in for Superboy, which gives the whole team the Superman team ability.

Nuts. Now I want to play!

Thanks, Yellow Kid!

Some pics of the Legion related 'clix in Legacy:

Here's the Legion-related figures that will be available with the "Collateral Damage" expansion in February!






It's no Spaceopoly, but it's a pretty cool game!

Just to clarify: Tasmia and the Emerald Empress will be available in the Collateral Damage expansion; Validus and Gim will be available in the DC Giants collector's set. To buy the collector's set, you have to buy a "brick" of Collateral Damage (12 shrinkwrapped boosters) from a brick-and-mortar store and send in the certificate that it comes with and the receipt, along with whatever they charge for the set (the idea is to reward those player/collectors who support the physical stores that provide support to the game).

You can look in the official thread for images.
