Top Retiring Figs: 2015 edition [2 of 3]

With AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, we’re SAD to see Blade [004 and 207] go  —just when we got Ronin and a related ID card for him! — and GLAD to not have to deal with Brother Voodoo cheese anymore. Seriously, screw that guy and his Mind-Control-every-single-turn shenanigans.

From BATMAN, we never seemed able to give Godiva a proper workout on the map. So sad. But there is a certain gladness in our hearts at the exit of Arkham Asylum Guard’s dirt cheap Capture ability, particularly after running into him at States this past weekend

TEEN TITANS’ Skitter always got left on the shelf, sadly. The team bases, OTOH, especially Justice League, need to just remain pretty dust gatherers on the shelf. They are NOT F.U.N.

It occurs to us that we didn’t run The Question from STREETS OF GOTHAM nearly often enough. We’re happy to leave the Batcycle good and impounded, though.

Because her ex Black Panther rotated out in 2013 with Captain America, MARVEL 10th ANNIVERSARY’s Storm [020] was a queen without a king to get her DV boost — or to use Support via — and so she didn’t get run so much. And now it’s too late to reunite in Modern Age, and we’re sad. Sadder still: Thanks to Marvel’s secret war with Fox, with this set there will be NO MORE MODERN VERSIONS of the original Fantastic Four, Marvel’s First Family, as Thing [003 and 011] bows out. Never having to fret over Dark Phoenix again is cold comfort.

Blue Beetle [009] will be missed from DC 10th ANNIVERSARY. For Heroclixin’s money, though? Oracle [017] won’t, being that rare fig that fails hard on the “useful” portion of the F.U.N. factor.

    This comment intrigues me. Can you elaborate?

    1. Thanks for reading!

      She was one of the 10 worst ‘clix of 2012. If she cost A) 25 points less OR B) didn’t have to burn an action to use her powers OR C) didn’t turn completely useless when based, then she’d be quite Useful. But any one of those mess her over, and all three being true…?

      “No sir, I don’t like it!”
