Shield Team Pack Black Widow DialGreetings fellow players! Today Heroclix World treats you to another sneak preview, this time from the Shield Team Pack (which also includes the Shield Enforcer and Nick Fury). Featuring the sexy super spy from Iron Man 2 and the upcoming Avengers movie, #036 in the set is the Black Widow.

I have had the pleasure of reviewing a lot of rookie characters lately, and So far I have not been disappointed with any of them. Black Widow is no exception here. For only 35 points, she brings a tight little arsenal of goodies to your teams.

(Click to see Black Widow Dial)

Keywords

Black Widow has all the suitable keywords for her character including; Avengers, Martial artist, S.H.E.I.L.D., and Spy. Her low cost makes her a great low cost addition for any of these teams.

Combat values
Black widows combat dial seem to be on par with the standard S.H.E.I.L.D. agents we have seen recently. Over her 5 clix of life her values remains very consistent. She also has a range value of (4) and a single targeting bolt, nothing bad here.

Traits
Natasha has an ideal Trait for her character called Unsubtle Infiltration. The trait gives her permanent Leap/Climb over her entire dial. This gives her the ability to get in and out of close combat at her discretion. Not to mention the ability to move freely around the battle map.

holy smokes! all of that for only 35 points?!... [old crotchedly voice] (greater than) "I remember when a rule of thumb for a 100-point figure was at least one click on 10 Attack..."

ACE - Thank you for the explanation. Now it gets more confusing where we have base, starter, gravity feed and now team sets. Sorry for whinning so much, but isn't this a bit much? Not only this but to have Galactic Guardians also coming out the same day. So the breakdown for AVM is 1-9 common, 10-17 uncommon, 18-22 rare and 23-36 team packs?

LOL @ Tai-bo as a martial art. What's next melt it off w/Mitch?

Posted by: raid on 2/16/2012 9:40:28 AM
maneuver is usually wasted on a piece without a move and attack ability, which this lacks. outside of a casual game, this will be relegated to many a tacklebox until the end of time. If i want to use a sub 40 point piece with martial artist, ill always go for the question over this piece of commie trash.

I believe it was Happy who asked her if she ever boxed. When she said “yes” He said “Like what Tae bo, booty boot camp or something?”

So this is a nod to that moment.

What is this Eric? You say "she brings a tight little arse" full "of goodies to your teams"? WOW!

On a more serious note, why does she get CCE due to "Tai Bo"? What does that even mean? 'Supreme Staff'? Does she whip out a bo staff during the film using her tai chi training? Or did they misspell Tae Bo? If the latter, why would aerobic exercises give her extra damage? Is Suzanne Somers more dangerous than we thought?

That big of boobs for 35 points? I'm in!

Posted by: krizz on 2/16/2012 9:13:43 AM
@ Shawn its because there are no actual super rares, they come from the "team packs" 3 characters per team pack - shield, hydra, warriors 3,Avengers, etc. there are a total of 6 team packs so theres (12) figures I believe the base set minus team packs is 22 figures.

Posted by: Ace on 2/16/2012 9:04:52 AM
K, I'm way confused with the numbering. How come #'s 23,24,26 & 27 all look like SR's and now we have #36 also showing SR? This is suppose to have over 40 new figures, but I cannot find the breakdown of C,NC,R & SR.

I guess she can be a cheap tie up piece or just an annoyance and shield ta. she is fine with me for 35 points
