HeroClix Clix Craves The Tick ClixCraves is a series of articles discussing HeroClix figures we want to see in the future. Our selection criteria can be new never-before-seen figures, or it could be a request for remakes of old figures.

The tick is easily one of the best known indy comic book characters around. The Tick was named #57 in IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time, which is saying a lot. The Tick's spawned a cartoon, a live action tv series, and several spinoffs like Paul the Samurai.

So why haven't we seen The Tick as a HeroClix? No one knows. You'd think with NECA's licensing machine behind them Wizkids would find a way to make it a reality. Clix Craves is here to help...

HeroClix Clix Craves The Tick

The Tick should pretty much be a brute with Super Strength and twisted version off Impervious. He's not a smart guy, but he's not supposed to be. If the Tick's "Throw a Chimney" ability looks familiar, it should -- it's the Rip It Up Feat!

From Wikipedia: The Tick is a fictional character created by cartoonist Ben Edlund in 1986 as a newsletter mascot for the New England Comics chain of Boston area comic stores. He is an absurdist spoof of comic book superheroes

That last post by me was supposed to say "Hold off on Punisher and Daredevil for a while." I'm looking forward to the new Deadpool.

Yes. I agree on every point.

Posted by: Princeof of Orphans on 4/8/2014 4:26:54 PM

Agreed on all of these as long as WK continues to include never made characters along with the remakes.

I'd also like to see them stop making characters that have been made within a certain time frame, like the past 3 years. I just do not see the need for a new version of pieces from the Hulk set yet. Hold off on Punisher and Deadpool for a while. While the dials for characters like Bizarro and Wildfire are interesting, I would have been much happier if they had given us Captain Cold and Lightning Lass instead.

Superfriend,
Yes that's right about negative man. They do have that terrible looking negative woman, but...
I'd also like to see some remakes of Robot Man, Ragman, another Dr. Fate that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, Wildcat, the atom (besides the War of Light version), Freedom Fighters, Hourman, Dr. Midnight, Capt. Marvel(Shazam), Adam Strange. Well I guess I could go on and on, but those were all good sculps and cool characters as far as I am concerned.

Not sure about a set exclusively Golden and Silver Age, but if you look at what WizKids has put out over time and since the nu52, you can see that they like to cover the entire spectrum of characters.

In the DC 75th Anniversary set, we got some oldies but goodies like the original 1940s versions of Johnny Quick, Mr. Terrific and Crimson Avenger along with brand new characters like Saint Walker.

The only nu52 heavy set to date has been Teen Titans and even there we got the Fab Four original Teen Titans sculpted in their earliest appearances.

We could use pieces of at least the rest of the Seven Soldiers of Victory, Sea Devils, Challengers of the Unknown maybe with a western sub-theme. Don't forget the Doom Patrol. Negative Man is still unmade.

That would be nice. I'd also like to see a gold and silver age set. They could have some of those great classic characters: Seven Soliders of Victory, Sea Devils Challengers of the Unknown maybe with a western sub-theme.
And it'd be nice to see a full FF series and they could include characters like the Salem Seven, the Frightful Four with The Brute, a puppet master similar to the toyman with the attachments.

@Prince of Orphans
There have been rumors of a Flash set being the next regular DC set. It would be at least after Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy, placing it in the October 2014 slot or later.

IMO, the most likely thing would be a set named "Justice League: Forever Evil", with a focus on the Flash's Rogues, the Crime Syndicate and the newer members of the Justice League teams.

Posted by: superfriend on 3/31/2014 7:05:22 AM

This is all well and good, but how about a Flash series with a JSA sub theme or a JAS series with a Flash sub theme. Or both with some other sub themes would be best.

Posted by: Prince of Orphans on 3/29/2014 9:29:24 PM

Some nice ideas. I think The Tick as a mini set (They did Iron Maiden for goodness sake!!) would be very cool. Perhaps Tick, Arthur and Man-Eating Cow could do with a common keyword (Spoon?!) so that they're theme together.

I'm inclined to say 150 Points for Tick, 40 for Arthur (but add in a no carry trait?) and 60 for the bovine. Maybe impiles Tick needs a bit more beefing up to make 200 for a 300 point Tick theme team.

So other Points-value-Whingers what would you price them as?

Freakazoid. And the Freakmobile. Purposely added and shown in only one episode to point out that it was just there to sell toys. Invisibo.

As for the Tick, we would need the main characters like Sewer Urchin.

Sorry, but pretty bad post especially considering nothing has been put up since Friday. Were these dials made today or 3 years ago? Combat values would suggest that latter. And no point values to really judge them? This seems like half effort was put into it.

Normally this site is great and I enjoy reading the posts that are original content and not just previews, however I have to say this was poorly done.

Posted by: Adamantium on 3/26/2014 4:23:37 PM

what are the point values?

Posted by: Thordude12 on 3/26/2014 3:25:45 PM

And, oddly, The Simpsons

Posted by: Jimmy Jack Jericho on 3/26/2014 2:01:19 PM

Star Wars
Mass Effect
Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angel

I think they'd all make amazing sets.

Posted by: Jimmy Jack Jericho on 3/26/2014 1:48:32 PM

Not even an attempt at points, c'mon.

Posted by: Slade on 3/26/2014 5:16:42 AM

I wouldn't mind seeing the tick clix, but what I really want to see is DBZ clix. Seeing Gogeta, Frieza, broly, and boo as clix would be awesome. And we would get to see a looot of characters in some awesome poses. Amalgam would be cool too. Dark claw ftw.

Posted by: pandab0mb on 3/26/2014 2:14:26 AM

Still craving for that Spawn or Amalgam Clix...

Posted by: Bane on 3/25/2014 11:30:42 PM

Captain Plant or The Incredibles would be awesome.

Posted by: MisterFister on 3/25/2014 9:41:09 PM

Please do a click craves for My Little Pony. The royal sisters as a duo would be an easy 300 points while King Sombra would be a basses.

Posted by: Lord Logan on 3/25/2014 6:44:53 PM

I think this would be a great idea. I'm not a Tick fan but anything new is better than another damn Superman or Barman set.

Posted by: Lord Logan on 3/25/2014 6:43:00 PM

The Tick is AWESOME.

SPOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!

Someone should do up a dial for the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight!

That cartoon and comic was sooo funny!

Posted by: Cyderak on 3/25/2014 4:59:44 PM

Yeahhhh...awful idea. Let's not waste a set on this garbage.
