I hope they don't change Harley's stats any (so my LE is still legal) and that one of the jokers keeps the hypertime unique's dial.  I don't think I'm going to collect the whole set but I do like those sculpts.

[Spriggan]

Whoo hoo!  Icon pics..well sort of, it's a pic of what comes in the starter.

here's a question: What do you think of DCs new logo? I actually don't like it all that much. I prefer their old logo.

[Spriggan]

dang it!  The new version of Quinn sucks and the Starter version of the Joker is more like the old Quinn.  Gerr....http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/dc/figuregallery.asp?releaseid=52

The joker really isn't that bad, but I can't use my LE quinn in restricted tournys anymore.

[Spriggan]

Dang nabbit.  Looks like the new version of flash will be coming out around the same time of Icons, so now it's do I buy Flash 8 or Heroclix?  Probably be flash since we never play anymore.

WK has started to post BFC and feat cards and wow their cool.

Submerged 5 pts
Choose a character.

(Optional) When the character occupies water terrain, lines of fire drawn to it are blocked.

Rally
Whenever the character with the highest point value remaining on your force is eliminated, remove one action token from all characters on your force, as applicable, and then remove the eliminated character from the game.

Infiltration

When placing characters at the beginning of the game, characters with Phasing/Teleport, Smoke Cloud, or Stealth showing in their stat slots may be placed into hindering terrain up to half their unmodified speed values away from their starting areas. In addition, characters with the dolphin speed symbol may be placed in water terrain up to half their unmodified speed values from their starting areas.

*************

With atlantis riseing, submerged and infiltration you will all learn to fear Black Manta especially since submerged cannot be negated by Ultimates or Superman.

The starter Joker didn't excite me, but check out the normal REV: http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/dc/figuregallery.asp?unitid=8434

That's some awesome stuff. I really like what they've done with this set, and despite the possibility of repeats I think I'm going to need to buy a whole bunch of it.

[Spriggan]

I agree.  I love the starter Joker's sculpt though.  Heck the non-starter Robin's sculpt is very cool too. And once again there are some awesome feats and BFCs.

I plan on getting some too, though how much and when all depend on my cash situation.  It's coming out the first week of September I should have enough to get a starter and a few boosters then but since I just shelled out $90 for SWM I'm going to wait a month or so before buying lots of HCs.

[Fellfrosch]

Finally we get to see the new Batman...and he's pretty much the same as the old Batman. I love the new sculpt, and the old Batman is still one of the better figures in the game (comparing power to points), but I was hoping for something new. I don't know what, just...not this.

[Spriggan]

One one version has a team ability too, that's got some up in arms.  It is different the the Hypertime one but not much, but it's supposed to be a replacement for Hypertime.  If you want one significantly different use Legacy bats.

[Fellfrosch]

See, that's the thing--I didn't like any of the Legacy Batmans very much, because they were too different. And now I don't like this because it's too not different. I think I'm just impossible to please.

[Spriggan]

Bunch of new Figs are up.

Bizarro-Kinda dissapointed in him, was hopeing for a backward's Superman stats wise (ie like the hulk).

Cyborg-eh, much like the old REV

Flash-very cool, HSS and Quake for the first 4 clicks or so so it's a 99 point version of KC flash.

Wonder Woman-Nice Sculpt but kida the same stats.

Ra's- Similar to the Legacy one but much more leaderish with 2 clicks of Leadership, outwit and perplex for under 80pts.

[Spriggan]

Sups is up.  I'm a little disapointed that he's better then KC Sups for less the points (no leadership).

Now with Darkseed and Icon Superman you'll see less and less U Thor teams which I guess is a good thing.
