10 Battle Packs (We Want)

5. Spider-Ham & Howard the Duck

Spider-Ham HeroClix He's already appeared in one Marvel HeroClix set, so there's no reason why he can't make a comeback. The Duck won't be very popular with the core HeroClix players, but imagine the potential with the younger kids! Then again, I'm not really sure kids even know who he is.

The good news is the core players will want to pick up Peter Porker and Spider-Ham, even if they won't admit it publicly. This would definitely be tricky to market, but having a product that appeals to hardcore and young fans would be a good move.

I'd hate to bring up the "D" word, but this could also fit very well in the new Disney/Marvel business model.

5. Faces of Spider-Man

Spider-man HeroClix Speaking of Peter, how about a Faces of Spider-Man set? Specifically I'd like to see Spider-Man, Spider-man in Black, and Ben Reilly (poor Ben never got the love he deserved). Spidey's still a hot property these days, and a single 3-pack would do great with old and new fans alike, especially if it's sold alongside Spider-Ham.

Alternatively, maybe Wizkids could give us Peter Parker and two Spider-Mans in a single pack, and throw the Alter Ego mechanic on Peter... but give us the option to choose which Spider-man he turns into! For example, give us the Secret Wars Peter Parker, and let us activate Alter Ego to turn into the traditional red/blue Spider-Man or black symbiot Spider-man. They could even use the same sculpt for the two spider-mans, but with the different paint job (which would be perfect I think).

I'd like to see Spider-Man and his Amazing friends too, but I'll save that for a different article...

Your Comments:

Going to go old school here and go back to a Marvel Team Up What If? Comic. The team up of Aunt May and Franklin Richards.

Aunt May babysat Franklin, and got the Power Cosmic. And had to feed Glactus Twinkies after Franklin gave him one. Aunt May Gathered all the world's Twinkie supply and eventually found a Twinkie planet with a marshmallow chef. The chef became Galactus' new herald and May lost the power cosmic.

So I propose Franklin Richards, "Golden Oldie" Aunt May, and the Marshmallow Chef.

omega red is the russian guy with the tentacles

Posted by: alex on 8/30/2010 2:33:58 PM

Amazons. We need an Amazons battle pack.

Posted by: Dakkoth on 7/27/2010 5:08:04 PM

how about some more hellfire club members

Posted by: jester71781 on 7/26/2010 12:53:41 AM

They could have a weapon X set with dead-pool, lady death-strike and the Russian with the metal tentacles who i forgot his name.

Posted by: spideyfan on 7/13/2010 4:11:29 PM

Ok got another one...
the missing numbers of the Royal flush gang.
could just be 3 generic henchmen types that have a minion ability, maybe even 3 diferent types of guys each minioned to an exsisting member. as for the numbers just make them blank with a set of water-slide transfers.
imagine;
Royal flush bruser (minion ability giving charge & +1 AV when within 8 of Ace)
Royal flush Marksman (Minion ability giving ranged combat expert when within 8 of Jack & Ten)
Royal Flush Elite (minion ability like hammer elite operative when within 8 of King & Queen)

I like the Onslaught love. I think they should make one with a removable Professor X and Franklin. Either on a "Four-Square" base with the REV point values showing the addition of the two characters(think of the Sentinel with his point values described as different Marks); or an "8-square" base with a dial for the different point values (think Galactus).

Posted by: Thearthandyman on 7/8/2010 9:56:31 AM

The battle pack I would suggest would be one about Onslaught!! I don´t know why there isn´t a figure of Onslaught there are so many posibilities in there!. For the pack I would suggest:
Onslaught
Franklin Richards
X-man
or
Onslaught
Post
Holocaust

Posted by: Che on 7/5/2010 11:20:02 AM

Just a note - the S.H.I.E.L.D. team ability can be used to boost any friendly figure, not just figs that share the TA. They are great on any team!

Posted by: beardedtoyman on 7/3/2010 3:37:07 PM

i would love to see a battle pack of the marvel dc crossovers ya no were the to comics combined their characters dr strange fate dark claw and some one from the jlx as well
an exiles battle set would be cool as well with mimic blink and morph

Posted by: ari on 7/1/2010 4:07:50 PM

Deadpool Pirate pack!!!
fig1= stripped to the torso Wade with bandana and plunger peg leg
fig2= Bob agent of Hydra dressed as a parrot
fig3= that blind chick who's name i forget that acts as his navigator!

i'd defo snap up one of these!

Posted by: Ste on 6/30/2010 11:50:07 PM

B: Holy Man-Eating-Cow! You're right! I must have gotten my comic book mob names confused. Thanks.

Posted by: The Le on 6/30/2010 10:00:02 AM

the only ones that look interesting are the faces of spiderman, other lanterns, and spawn

Posted by: theo on 6/30/2010 1:33:50 AM

I love some of these ideas. Doubt we will see them but I am all for em. What about a police set with police dogs? Personally I want to start a petition for a new Indy clix set, the Tick would fit as would old favorites like the Phantom, Terminator, Judge Dred and the Danger Girls among others. Heck why not Buffy and Angel? Dracula (used in Marvel and once scary) and some vampire lackey's? How about some street folks like new con artists and other low level criminal types for marvel sets? The possibilities are endless.

Posted by: inspired stranger on 6/29/2010 2:23:31 PM

Great article. I would pick up the GL packs for sure. I doubt battle packs would ever feature new sculpts, but it would be a great thing if they did. By the way, Infinity Challenge was the first clix-appearance of Wolvie in his brown and yellow's. The "Berzerker" Wolvie LE, while being a repaint of the REV sculpt from the set, is sporting the "Byrne" suit.

Posted by: machineman on 6/29/2010 8:52:24 AM

If I'm not mistaken, the "Byrne" Wolverine was also featured in the Clobbering Time expansion.

Posted by: Thearthandyman on 6/29/2010 2:03:05 AM

The Green Lantern set would be cool, but I seriously doubt if ANY of these will EVER be made.

Posted by: MacGyver on 6/28/2010 10:29:41 PM

I would want to see various other Lantern Corps members. We've already gotten Kilowog, Kyle Rayner and hell even G'nort. Now say if they have the Lantern Leaders in 75th aniversary set (yes I only say this cause I'm really hoping it happens) then we could have battle packs other Corpsmen such as for Red: Dex-Star, Bleeze and Vice!

Posted by: Lord Logan on 6/28/2010 8:23:09 PM

I love this article! I would much prefere an Action pack instead of a Battle pack though. Yes, it maybe more expensive but I feel like I'm getting my $$$ worth with a sense of graification. Awesome The Le, thank you :-)

Posted by: Ianator on 6/28/2010 8:08:09 PM

How about 2 hand ninja's and a kirgi with a battlefield promotion between them

Posted by: CaptainAwesome on 6/28/2010 7:12:01 PM

for the green lantern pack i would want kyle rainer more then anyone else, he rebuilt the freaking corps from less then scratch, plus he's just awesome.

Posted by: Chris Mercer on 6/28/2010 5:14:48 PM

Ha! Pogs for Aunt May, etc, not pigs

Posted by: tylerdrake on 6/28/2010 4:49:27 PM

Fun article.
I would love Spidey and his Amazing Friends, with pigs for Aunt May and their dog (ms Lion?)

Tick would be great. Arther has a moth suit though.

Spooooooooon!!!!!

Posted by: tylerdrake on 6/28/2010 4:47:51 PM

In selections 1-4 I'd be especially for it if it included a reprint of the appropriate LE -- Esme Cuckoo for pack 1 and Henchman in pack 4, for instance. For the purists they'd still be technically different than the original prize LEs (they'd sport a different number and set symbol) and this would all but guarantee they'd sell through.

Posted by: Miraclo on 6/28/2010 3:01:21 PM

Heck yes to Green Lantern Corps! The ATA for GL Honor Guard is crazy good but we need some low point Corps members to choose from. Unfortunately I came too late to the party to get my hands on the GL starter which sells for way too much online now. That’s it! Reprint the GL starter figs!

Let’s also show some love for a Sinestro Corps battle pack as a ying to the Green Lantern Corps yang.

Posted by: Jowzam! on 6/28/2010 2:50:59 PM

id like to see a toxic avenger pack! toxie,thug in a dress,and Apocalypse, Inc. Chairman.

Posted by: jack on 6/28/2010 2:49:48 PM

I would like the "Jessica Jones Action Pack" featuring Jessica Jones, Purple Man, and Luke Cage.

it would allow me to recreate my favorite scenes from Alias, and i guess that 20 seconds from the Avengers relaunch.
