Is there a Heroclix `request box`
« on: 15 June 2010, 08:46:38 PM »
Just wondering if there is something like an ideas or suggestion option on the Heroclix site, can`t really seem to find it, but wondered maybe someone knew if that thing uberhaubt exists.

Kind of a place to suggest whoch glories of the Marvel / DC / etc universes should receive figures, seeing how some obscure sidekicks or multi poses of the same hero are out there, while others are completely ignored.

I agree! I've been waiting for a Negative Man to complete my original Doom Patrol for months...! >:(

There is a "Dear WizKids" section on HCRealms.  The Wizkids people do read there.  They do not have an official forum at the moment. 

The sets all have to be approved by Marvel or DC.  I believe the designers can pick a few but for the most part, sets tend to fit a theme these days with final approval from Marvel or DC.  I'm not saying they don't take request, I just wouldn't expect much.

They did make a Negative Woman.  She was in Origins.

Might go and have a look for sure there then, many thanks.

I`m mostly after some older characters, especcially from Excalibur (god do I love those comics, especcially the `lighthouse era` where it was all great fun and lighthearted, hail Davis and Claremont) like Cerise, Feron, Kylun, Micromax (and their hilarious personal situations in issue 125  lol)

Thanks. Yes, I have a Negative Woman (quite a nice figure, actually) but she isn't contemporary with the version of Cliff Steele they release, or with Rita Farr (ElastiGirl) & Niles Caulder (The Chief). By the same token there's no Arani Desai (Celsius) or Tempest (Joshua Clay) that would be contemporary with Negative Woman (Valentina Vostok), nor any later Doom Patrol members (Crazy Jane, Rebis, etc.). All the versions of Beast Boy (Gar Logan) are later Teen Titans versions, not his earliest Doom Patrol incarnation too...

I just wish they'd do more non-Unique versions of some of the characters I want, like Catgirl (DKSA), Union Jack, Colonel Al-Rahnem, Ultimate Thor and Ultimate Green Goblin. Stupid collectable games.

I want a common of something I can easily convert into a Sontaran.

Doesn't any figure in a spacesuit become a Sontaran with the addition of a huge, squishy head...?

Union Jack was a Rare in their new system.  Not as hard to get as Colonel Al-Rahnem who was in the same set.  Begining with the Avengers set they instituted a new rarity system.  Unique now meant that you could only field one of that figure in your team.  Some Uniques are pretty easy to get now but some characters that are not Unique can be hard to get.

Troll and Toad had three Union Jacks for $.89 a piece if you are interested.  He was one of the pieces I always wanted too.
