Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Official Legion HeroClix Thread

Ultra Boy will be the counter to Superman in the starter. The idea of the starter is to have a "game in a box." The way the point values work out you should be able to make two reasonably matched teams to play against each other. Having another brick to face off to Superman makes some sense in that light.

check out the Legion map - nice design...

here's the link:

you will need to click on the map. Enjoy!

Also, I hear that there is a Bouncing Boy pog...I am not sure about the source. ???

Map, side two (not as nice as side one), Rulebook and Powers and Abilities Card . All we need now are the actual figures.

Warning: All links will open up a PDF.

REMINDER::::: 5 more days left to go....they will be out on Wednesday....oh...can't wait!!!!

they're out now!!!!!!!! and there is the 8th Legionnaire in the set......it's.........


*drumroll*


SHRINKING VIOLET! Yeah!!!! she is joining alongside Invisible Woman, Atom as the hockey puck league.

I love this starter. Getting Vi was a nice surprise, as was seeing the Smallville map on the reverse side (I didn't catch that when they posted it online). Can't wait to play with these figs!

The "Justice League" set list has been spoiled and there are two Legionnaires and two Villains in it.

LSH: Bouncing Boy & Dream Girl

Villains: Tharok & The Time Trapper!

Tharok was expected (completes the Fatal Five), but The Trapper is a surprise. He'd better be one powerful figure.

Making one thread for the "official" Legion HeroClix announcements rather than having five of them.

Spoilsport!

Four years ago I sent my first overseas package of Legion figures to Darden. Now, once I seal up the McD Legion figures I'll be sending him another one.

Yeah, like combining you guys' multiple threads is so thrilling.

Thanks for the update rouge. I hadn't even bothered keeping up with the JL set since I didn't think we'd get new Legion figs so soon after the release of the starter set.

well, Lightning Lad, those are unexpected figures that I did not think that it would be included in JLa - I thought that Karate Kid, Dawnstar, and/or even Star Boy would be shoo in with their recent appearances in comics....Dream Girl, Bouncing Boy, and Time Trapper were the real surprises and nobody did predict this.

At least they got Tharok in the set where almost everyone predicted correctly.

However, there will be more legionnaires coming up soon in the next DC set called "Titans" in Feb 08. Can't wait.

I am praying for Lightning Lord to be in the Titans set. * finger crossing*

Cool, I didn't know this sort of thread was here. But then, I haven't visited LW regularly in a couple of years.

I'm an avid HC player so any new LSH-related figs are good news to me. I confess that those two LSHer were about the last I expected this go-'round, with one not quite alive in the comics and the other not quite existent. But rarely has a new HC fig announcement made me smile like Bouncing Boy's did.

I'm looking to play a 1000-pt. Legion themed team this weekend, but I can't decide if I want to top-load it with E Supergirl for her Super-Ally ability or swarm it up with a bunch of Science Police to boost my shooters' ability.

(hey, I said I was an avid player...!)

KJS - I would love to field the most powerful team ever - Ultra Boy, Mon-El, Wildfire and Superboy (Supergirl will do) and here's hoping to see Dawnstar in the Titans set so I can have her on that team - who could ever forget the most beautiful splash page of all of them flying together going out into the space drawn by Josef Rubenstien and Jim Starlin way back in S/LSH #240ish...

Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl has gotten much better alongside Timber Wolf...I am waiting for both Brainiac 5 and Chameleon remakes. Shadow Lass, Shrinking Violet, Phantom Girl, and Triplicate Girl are even better and I cannot wait for Invisible Kid to be clixed so I can play the Legion of Espionage Squad! Less than one more month to go!!

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #241
Penciller James Sherman / Inker Bob McLeod / Writer Paul Levitz

*sniff sniff* aww no...don't you do that to me! that's mean!!! (note: I see I am mistaken - it was Bob McLeod not Joseph...thanks for correcting me).... Loved that panel - when I was younger I was staring at them - wondering about Dawnstar being with those most powerful and invulnerable members and wondering if Dawnstar should be recognized that she is invulnerable due to her flying out in the space.... beautiful *sniff*

I am sure glad that we will see Dawnstar real soon in Action Comics!

There is finally an alternate team ability for the LSH! If the Legionnaire with the highest point cost is KO'd, all the rest of the members with the team ability get to clear one token. It's basically the "Rally" BFC.

So when the Time Trapper knocks out V M'onel, the rest of the team can conspire to make.

Him.

PAY.

The feat card is 0 points. All-31st-century teams just got a lot more playable -- especially since they could still benefit from some Science Police figs boosting their attack values!

Some details:

#016 Bouncing Boy
Team: LSH
Range: 0 /
Points: 50
Keywords: Future, Legion, Teen
Powers: Charge, Flurry & Toughness
Special Powers
Attack - Ricochet: Once per turn, if Bouncing Boy KOs an opposing character or hits an opposing character with a critical hit, after the attack resolves he can break away automatically, immediately move up to his full speed value, and make one close combat attack against a different opposing character as a free action.

#056 E Time Trapper
Team: None
Range: 8 /
Points: 125
Keywords: Future
Powers: Phasing, Mind Control, Psychic Blast, Pulse Wave, Super Senses, Mastermind & Probability Control
Damage - Negate: Time Trapper can use Outwit. When he does, he can use it normally or choose to counter the same power or team ability possessed by all opposing characters to which Time Trapper has a clear line of fire that are 6 or fewer squares away.

Dreamy:

#048 R Dream Girl
Team: Legion of Super-Heroes
Range: 0 /
Points: 50
Keywords: Future, Legion, Psychic, Teen
Powers: Super Senses, Probability Control, Outwit.

Pretty good. I would have liked a click of Leadership (and possibly Close Combat Expert) but it's a pretty good figure for the Rookie version.

Lightning Lad.

Yipee! Now I'll have something most British Fans dont have so I get bragging rights.

Thanks Scott, I just saw this after getting back from a trip to Copenhagen.

Some pics (good of Chuck and the Trapper, bad of Nura and Tharok) "borrowed" from HCRealms .

We also have Lobo, member of L.E.G.I.O.N., from the official HeroClix gallery .

Ack!
Three more figures I have to get. I can finally complete the Fatal Five!
Awesome!

edit: oops. 4 figures. Can't forget the Trapper.

as a reminder, they will be out on Sept 5th (or Sept 6th depending on if the vendor orders the case in advance to ship early) - can't wait.
