HeroClix for the "non-collector"?
A wealth of non-collectible HeroClix are hitting the market in the near future. These Fast Forces will include previously issued sculpts with restated and repainted dials. They will add up to made decent teams and a a great starting point for new players.
While not collectible in sense of having a rarity scheme, they do offer long term players a great opportunity to get different versions of their favorite figures and sometime getting a sculpt that was a harder to acquire Super Rare in a newly remade, no-rarity, format.
This is an improvement of the HeroClix Classics did this with the 3 figure non-blind boosters of Iron Man, Batman and Fantastic Four over the past year, but used the same stats as the previous figure (but did allow Ultimate Nick Fury and scarlet witch back into the Modern age play environment).
Some of the fast Forces we know are coming are the Thor and Green Lantern Movie sets, but there is a great potential for these smaller, prefab sets to supplement the large sets and serve as cross promotional items for TV and Movie events.
Look for Green Lantern this May and Thor in July.
Updated dates.
