It’s high time Heroclixin’ started photo-documenting how the latest main set’s Super-Strong figs heft object tokens. First up:

The Wrecker [050] holds his securely in his wreckage.

Sasquatch [019a] has a grip that’s considerably more pedestrian…it just leans on him.

Piledriver can grip the newer, fatter tokens up high as shown. Older, thinner ones will need to be held some other way.

Hyperion [041a and 041b] has a handle on objects.

There’s nothing freaky about how Freak [003] easily balances a token in his arms.

Detroit Steel [020] has an interesting hold; it just lies on top, with his left-arm saw serving to keep it from sliding about.

The energy effect makes for a solid hold for Count Nefaria [048].

Lay that object in his chain to get Absorbing Man [033] in on the token-totin’ action.

Check back on Tuesday for pix of Rescue, Dreadnought, Crossbones and Iron Man + War Machine as the IIM edition of Token Totin’ continues!

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, this time finishing a multi-week look at figs from the  Wolverine and the X-Men full set. The final is the same as the first, sort of: Colossus (Wolverine and The X-Men 059).

There’s a spot at his head where one can wedge the older, thinner tokens. The newer, fatter ones can only lean against him as seen in the second photo.

And with that, WATX is fully documented. Look in the near future for some Token Totin’ pix from the archives and older sets.

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, this time winding down a multi-week look at figs from the Wolverine and the X-Men full set. Here’s that paragon of England, Captain Britain [Wolverine + The X-Men 068]:

Under the arm, neatly.

Here’s that ultra powerful boy from the Imperial Guard, Smasher [Wolverine + The X-Men 036] :

 

I had to use the SwitchClix part to grab this older, thinner object. I don’t think it’d work with the thicker ones.

Some don’t have Super Strength full time, such as  Warlock (Wolverine and The X-Men 046):

The shapeshifting alien holds it between his arm and left knee even though he can only pick the power for his turn. Similarly, Hope Summers wins a spot on the Token Totin’ roster with her power to mimic adjacent allies’ powers:

Her cape and left arm make for a great hold.

Finally, that cute couple from the X-Men, Colossus and Kitty Pryde [WATX 101]:

YAY TEAMWORK!!!!

WATX is well on the way to being fully documented. Hopefully the next one will be the last installment.

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, here’s the final looks at Fear Itself. Behold the Asgardian All-Father, Odin [Fear Itself]:

The cape and the helmet’s ram horn makes a nice spot for any object to fit when you’ve used his special power to gain him Super Strength.

Another hero of the event is Captain America:

He can barely hold it as shown.

The last SSe ig of Fear Itself is the last LE, Nul [Fear Itself 106]:

This one looks better than it actually works. It’s got to be balanced just so in three-point fashion on his back and tail. It does work, though.

____

And that concludes the Fear Itself edition. After a brief final look at Wolverine + the X-Men, Token Totin’ will dive into the heavy metal set of Invincible Iron Man.

Have F.U.N. Heroclixin!’

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, this time picking up a multi-week look at figs from the Wolverine and the X-Men full set. As proof that great things sometimes come in small packages Heroclixin’ presents Sunspot (Wolverine and The X-Men 018):

Well, I did write “sometimes.” Sunspot just lamely leans the token on his chest.

Here’s the more impressive-looking and gripping and appropriately-named-for-this-feature Strong Guy [Wolverine + The X-Men 012]:

Wedge it upright in the crook of his arm as shown. It’s not a great hold but it’ll serve.

Strong Guy had a crush on our next model, the magnificent M :

Monet can just barely hold the newer, thicker objects between her head and left arm as seen in the first photo, while thinner ones can fit a bit more securely in the gap between her right leg and swoosh.

She’s not the only multi-hold female of the set.

Rogue [WATX 064] holds ’em high by her hands and low by her hair.

Another former member of the X-Men Blue team makes the list: Jubilee [047b]:

The little vamp’s got a little grip on this thick token.

Speaking of hussies, this girl gone wild-mutations can keep hold of her tokens better than her top:

Husk [WATX 027]  holds both sizes of tokens btween her left wrist and the torn fabric of her costume.

WATX is well on the way to being fully documented. Hopefully next Tuesday’s will be the last installment.

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, let’s take some final looks at Fear Itself, like the Worthy one below, Mokk [Fear Itself]:

He holds his token well as shown.

Here’s an alternate hold that works:

 

Another Worthy fella is Greithoth:

The chain forms a nice lil’ pocket with his arms to hold a token.

Future editions of Token Totin’ Thursday will highlight more Fear Itself until it’s all shown….probably like next week or so.

Have F.U.N. Heroclixin!’

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, this time finishing a multi-week look at figs from the  Wolverine and the X-Men full set. Here’s that ragin’ Cajun, Gambit (Wolverine and The X-Men 031):

 

He’s got a tenuous hold on the light object between his energy trail and the green base of his switchclix area.

 

Here’s another fig, the Great Lake Avengers’ Big Bertha [Wolverine + The X-Men 039]:

The plump powerhouse balances the token in her meaty arms.

WATX is on the way to being fully documented. Look back on Tuesday for another installment. Tomorrow, read a Figure Flush mini-battle report. Thursday there’ll be a wrapup of Fear Itself’s Token Totin’ pieces.

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, let’s look at some more from Fear Itself, like a most Worthy version of the Thing below, Angrir [Fear Itself]:

The token balances fairly well on his back as shown.

____

Future editions of Token Totin’ Thursday will highlight more Fear Itself until it’s all shown.

Have F.U.N. Heroclixin!’

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, let’s look at some more from Fear Itself, like the Slinger below, Prodigy [Fear Itself]:

He doesn’t do much else other than die in most of the FI games Heroclixin’ has witnessed, but he holds his token perfectly between his left arm and leg.

____

Future editions of Token Totin’ Thursday will highlight more Fear Itself until it’s all shown.

Have F.U.N. Heroclixin!’

Continuing this photographic record of figures hefting objects, and our multi-week look at figs from the new Wolverine and the X-Men full set. Next up? A pair of Imperial Guardsmen, Warstar (Wolverine and The X-Men 048) and Gladiator  (Wolverine and The X-Men 074)  .

Warstar’s hold is barely there; you have to wedge it JUST right for it to work. But it does work. Gladiator, on the other hand, confidently grips his token between cape and left arm.

_____

Thursdays for a while will feature pix from Fear Itself, with Tuesdays continuing the coverage of Wolverine +The X-Men.
