Welcome again to heroclixin’s photographic record of Super Strength figs that can physically hold object tokens on their sculpts somehow. Today’s subject is one from my new phone:

The Weaponer of Qward [War of Light] has a tenuous hold, leaning the token on his hammer and shield as shown.

More pix from Deadpool are trapped on my old cellphone, perhaps forever. Heroclixin’ may have to find a workaround, as zombie Juggernaut photo ops are few and far between.

Welcome again to heroclixin’s photographic record of Super Strength figs that can physically hold object tokens on their sculpts somehow. Today’s subject is one from the vaults:

Black Lantern Earth-2 Superman Kal-L [The Brave and the Bold 058] has a solid grip via his cape.

Continuing this regular Heroclixin’ feature that visually documents how characters with the Super Strength power can physically hold standard object tokens in the game, Heroclixin’ now shows off — finally — the Avengers Vs. X-Men set:

Namor, Thor and Spider-Man all maintain at least a decent grip on object tokens as shown.

Tomorrow comes the Wednesday battle report on HeroClix games, F.U.N. Fights, with another account of a Legion team in the top 16 of a big tournament. Hope you’ll stop back by.

Welcome to a new installment of this regular Heroclixin’ feature that visually documents how characters with the Super Strength power can physically hold standard object tokens in the game. Today, let’s step a set back and look at some remaining figures from Invincible Iron Man that we didn’t get to before the holidays: Grey Gargoyle, Absorbing Man and Titania, Titanium Man and Juggernaut:

The Iron Slayer [054] has a couple of holds as well:

And this should finish off our look at Invincible Iron Man, with the exception of Bulldozer, who can so barely hold his token that I’m not going to photograph it today.

Next Tuesday, Heroclixin’ will feature AvX.

WHOSE SIDE WILL U CHOOSE?!??!?

Continuing this regular Heroclixin’ feature that visually documents how characters with the Super Strength power can physically hold standard object tokens in the game, Heroclixin’ finishes its look at the SLOSH set with the chase figs. 

Lydea Mallor [Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes 057]:

Her hair is STRONG

Kalibak [058]:

See how it fits between his back and energy trail?

and Superman [061]:

A token can be fitted between the character’s knees.

Welcome to a new installment of this regular Heroclixin’ feature that visually documents how characters with the Super Strength power can physically hold standard object tokens in the game. Today, we wrap up our look at figures in Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes that can do so. The Super Rares start with Superboy [046]:

Not only does the Blue Boy Scout flip a jaunty salute, but the same hand makes for a great token grip.

Let’s look at Solomon Grundy [049]:

yeah, the hold’s not as nifty as you’d think. It just barely fits upright on the piece as shown.

The set’s power couple, Big Barda and Mister Miracle [053] have a better-than-decent hold:

And two towers of power — the berserker Validus [032]:

…who just barely balances a token on his shoulder, hand and head like so…

…and so does the sorcerer Mordru [056]:

That does it for the main set! On Tuesday, Heroclixin’ completes its Token Totin’ account of SLOSH with pix of the chase figs. Hope you’ll stop by!

Continuing this regular Heroclixin’ feature that visually documents how characters with the Super Strength power can physically hold standard object tokens in the game, Heroclixin’ now shows off the SLOSH Rares. Let’s start with Bizarro [Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes 039]:

BIZARRO AM WEAKEST OF ALL!  HIM DROP OBJECT EASY LIKE YOU NOT SEE IN PICTURE BELOW!

New Genesis’ dog of war Orion [043] manages a hold:

It slips between his Astro-Force harness and his left leg.

He outdoes his birth father, Darkseid [044]:

Though lord of Apokolips, he only musters up a basic “lean on me” hold as shown.

That does it for the Rares. On Thursday, Heroclixin’ looks at the Super Rares of the set.

Tomorrow comes the Wednesday battle report on HeroClix games, F.U.N. Fights, with another account of a ROC team. Hope you’ll stop back by.

Welcome to a new installment of this regular Heroclixin’ feature that visually documents how characters with the Super Strength power can physically hold standard object tokens in the game. Last time, we looked at the two common rarity figures in Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes that can do so. On to the uncommons, beginning with Ultra Boy [018 and 204]:

Tokens lamely lean on his upraised fist, with only the stat window keeping the thing from rolling away off the table.

Little better is Blok [020]:

This hold — if you can call it such — was achieved by standing it upright under his armpit, then scooching it over onto his back so that the team symbol is visible like above. And there it will sort of sit without rolling off. Sometimes.

Things get much better with Kalibak [027]:

It fits perfectly between his chest and mace.

But nothing beats Colossal Boy [032]!

Nice!

Next Tuesday, Heroclixin’ starts in on the rares. Hopefully by a week from now we’ll have all the Super Rare token toters photographed, too. Tomorrow, check out part 2 of the Legion ROC team’s report.

Whoa, it’s been a while since the last installment of this regular Heroclixin’ feature that visually documents how characters with the Super Strength power can physically hold standard object tokens in the game. Heroclixin’ does this for a few reasons:

The game’s rules say that picked-up objects should be immediately placed someplace that indicates the object is being held and that the object occupies the square. Some players just leave the object under the figure, but that leads to confusion as to whether it’s being hidden on —especially by Stealth figs — or semi-legally hidden from the opponent, who may forget the character is armed with a object. Others put it on the character card, but that’s even sketchier for the same reason.

These are toys, and boys’ toys always come with weapons.

So the best option is to put it on the sculpt when possible.

OK, enough soapboxing. On with the pix! First up is the common Daxamite [005a] and his more colorful Prime variant, the heroic Mon-El [005b]:

Tokens fit easily under his cape as shown.

The other common rarity figure with Super Strength is Giganta [016]:

She holds tokens with her mighty thighs THAT WOULD CRUSH YOU LIKE BUG LITTLE MAN!

On Thursday, Heroclixin’ starts its look at the Uncommons of the set. Before that, tomorrow another long-gone regular feature returns: F.U.N. Fights, the Wednesday battle report on HeroClix games. Hope you’ll stop back by.

Heroclixin’ continues photo-documenting how the latest main set’s Super-Strong figs heft object tokens. Next up is Tony Stark’s gal friday, Rescue [Invincible Iron Man 202]:

It can be tucked just under her armpit for a decent hold.

Dreadnought [204] uses its head. Different holds for differing thickness of token:

Crossbones [206] uses his guns — and right thigh:

And, Iron Man + War Machine [043]  use teamwork to grip the rock:

___

Thursday will see more Invincible Iron Man in pictures succeeding in holding object tokens. Tomorrow will see how I continue to fail at this game.
