Top Ten Green Lantern Corps: #8 & #7

May 31, 2011

0

Number 8 is: Green Lantern (Blackest Night #004) Why he’s a top piece: His opening slot of the grey powers of Running Shot, Telekinesis, Invulnerability and Leadership are all great for both him individually and for the team. Good AV until final click. “Green Willpower” SP makes him pretty push-friendly. Why he’s not higher on […]

Top Ten Green Lantern Corps: #10 & #9

May 30, 2011

Number 10 is: Ch’p (Green Lantern Corps #002 ) Why he’s a top piece: I’ll just quote from my old review from 2006, the year of his debut: “Do you hear that? That squeaking, chattering sound? It’s the chipmunk-like voice of Ch’p here saying: ‘Push me. PUSH MEEEE!’ Ch’p is made to be played on his […]

So the Green Lantern film is coming in a few weeks, and, more importantly, we just got a TRUCKLOAD of brand-new Corps members in ‘Clix. Heroclixin’ asks: what are the Top Ten Green Lantern Corps in the game? First, some criteria: We’re talking Green Lantern CORPS, not just characters named Green Lantern…they need to have […]

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens, today we’re looking at the latest super-strong figure in the game: Kilowog!   You’ve probably noticed a focus on Green Lanterns this week. It continues with my regular end-of-month Top Ten feature. Be here tomorrow for the intro to the Top […]

Last week in this space, I wrote how awesome it’d be to play ALL the different Wonder Woman costumes in one team: Diana Prince (The Brave and the Bold) 32 LE Diana Prince (The Brave and the Bold) 43 Wonder Woman (Origin) 51 SR Wonder Woman (DC 75th Anniversary #051) 100 Wonder Woman (Legacy) 106 Wonder Woman (DC […]

Token Totin’ Tuesday: SR HAL JORDAN (DC 75th)

May 24, 2011

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens, today we’re looking at the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan: “Wait!” you say. “He doesn’t have Super Strength!!” And you’d be right. But he does have this nifty little Special Power: “ONE-MAN JUSTICE LEAGUE: Once during your turn, as […]

My Custom Mods [mod 41]: GATCHAMAN/Battle of the Planets!

May 23, 2011

Decades ago, as a wee boy, I watched “Battle of the Planets” every day at the Kinder-Care. To say they left an impression is a bit of an understatement. To this day, once every few years, I get Gatchaman fever. Last year, after designing some dream dials for the characters, I decided to mod an […]

Friday Fun: Asgardian trash-talk

May 20, 2011

My pal Lenny recently challenged me to another of our long-running clix duels, in which he picks a favorite theme to pit against one of mine. The last one we did was his Hulks versus my Iron Men. We’ve also done his Guardians of the Galaxy against my Inhumans, his JLA and my Avengers, and […]

Continuing the photographic record of Super-Strength characters who can hold their own object tokens, today we’re looking at the Gorillas of DC 75: Naturally, this also works for Grodd from the same set. (Not Solovar, though…that poindexter has too many mental powers and no Super Strength.) Be back next Tuesday for another edition of Token […]
