ZOMGXXORZ!!!

Okay, so I freely admit that I haven't been playing heroclix for some time, nor have I even been paying attention other than seeing that they released a new Sentinel (which was only the old one done with metallic pain anyway), but after skimming through the latest issue of Critical Hit for the VS articles, I saw some cool articles on some of the newer figures.

It amazes me how much the game has developed since the introduction of feat cards.

That's not the point of the post though...

Amongst other things in the issue was an add for an upcoming styrene game (like Pirates) for Star Wars - cool! Gotta build me a styrene A-Wing...

... so I hopped onto Wizkids site for a quick squizz to see if anything had been announced there.

Two things caught my eye.

First, they're releasing a 7-figure pack of the Legion of Superheroes. Very cool! I've very-much enjoyed the current series (admittedly, I was never even interested in the original series), so if it's based on the current series I may actually be tempted to pick it up. Who knows.

Second... well, the link says it all... Linky.

So now the questions. When the heck was this released, and why wasn't I informed, and why don't I have one yet? Bugger Galactus, the Spectre and Cthulhu - I want this one!!!!

Holy Mother. I missed that too. How do I get one.

I have no bloody idea...
... but I want one!!! I'd put it proudly on the desk at work, between my beanie Jawa and Spidey2099 action figure.

It's not quite out yet. It's a 2007 convention exclusive. http://www.wizkidsgames.com/wk_article.asp?cid=41204

HMMMM. Maybe a fathers day trip to Philadelphia.

I want it, and I've never even played Heroclix...

Hey, I know you guy's are pretty into DC so I recomend you also check out the previews for the new set: origin.

It totally seems to be golden age themed and the sculpts are great so far. Personally my biggest dose of that is awesome but I might never get my hands on it is the zombie hulk and zombie captain america from Supernova.
