Start Again
A first, brief look at 2008's Heroclix starter. (Click on the image for a larger view.)
We see Ben ready to throw a punch to follow the one he's apparently just thrown, Sue with a force field shield around one hand, Johnny bursting into flame, Reed carrying some high-tech weapon/device, Dr. Doom and one of those Latverian soldiers/early Doombots... and probably another of the same or something similar just a bit too far to the left for us to see.
The text accompanying the ad:
The Marvel Heroclix Fantastic Four Starter Game contains everything you need to join the exciting world of Heroclix. This Starter Game features the Fantastic Four vs Doctor Doom in an exciting, open-windowed Action Pack presentation, and it contains the latest and most up-to-date version of the HeroClix rules and powers and abilities card. This product is a must-have for all HeroClix players!
Starter Game Contents
- 7 HeroClix figures with character cards
- The 2008 Heroclix rulebook
- 1 powers and abilities card
- 1 two-sided, full-colour, 24" x 36" map
- 2 six-sided dice
- 1 set of object and terrain markers
...and this appears to be due in late June or early July.
I'm not thrilled with more generics being packaged in starters/action packs, but aside from that I'm looking forward to it. I'm especially interested in seeing how the team fits together and how the blend of special powers works out.
Update: Here's the way the starter will actually look:
