Screw you Wizkids and Wizard!
« on: March 12, 2005, 07:19:48 PM »
For makeing a kick butt looking batman figure that you can only get by subscribeing to a magazine!  

http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/dc/figuregallery.asp?unitid=7080

I'm not paying $28 dollars for the subscription then $7 for the figure, what the freak are you thinking!  This pisses me off to no end, I don't want some crappy magazine I just want Batman.

The figure does have crappy stats, but I'd take my LE Bruce Wayne and switch the figure on them.

For 70 points I don't think he has terribly crappy stats.  He's kind of like Ultimates Cap (one of my favorites) in the way his dial is set up and powers spread out.  CCE, EW, SS, Toughness, permanent stealth...that's not bad at all.

its the lack of outwit and l/c on the movement part of the dial and no range that makes this not as good as other versions.  Boneyard, over at HCrealms, pointed out its a lot like the classic batman (or the adam west batman) which is true, but WK should have them made a sculpt along those lines.

Anyway the point of my arguement is I'm not going to pay $35 for that figure, even if it has one of the coolist sculpts for batman.

That new sculpt you posted is even cooler, though, so I feel a little less bad about this.

That piece is da bomb and I hate that I need to subscribe to a magazine that I don´t want to get my two... What I hate even more is that I live in Denmark so I´ll need to pay twice as much as all you american kids  >:(

that modle is also going to be a unique in Icons so there's no need to order it if you just want the sculpt, if you want those stats then you've got to buy it through wizard's crazy promotion.
