Another installment of the photographic record of how HeroClix figures with Super Strength can hold — in some way — their own object tokens. Here’s a final figure from Man of Steel that’s actually named Superman:

Superman (Man of Steel 100) has a steely grip thanks to his cape and left boot.

Next week: Token Totin’ might continue Tuesday with more Man of Steel. But I still lack the remaining pieces with the Super Strength power: Kelex (Man of Steel 015) and General Zod (016). We’ll see.

Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of how sculpts with Super Strength can hold object tokens. Here’s the next entry in the Man of Steel micro-set, General Zod (Man of Steel 003):

KNEEL.

The token fits fine between his cape and his right calf/ankle.

Another installment of the photographic record of how HeroClix figures with Super Strength can hold — in some way — their own object tokens. Here are a couple from Man of Steel that aren’t actually named Superman:

Nam-Ek (Man of Steel 010) has a typical giant-size figure’s hold on the token. Not very secure but an easy-to-achieve one, at least. (His sculptmate Nam-Ek (104) does not have Super Strength.)

The below representation of pre-cape Superman rounds out today’s look:

Just tilt the Clark Kent (Man of Steel 009) figure back a bit until you can wedge the token under his crossed arms and in the stat slot.

Next week: The Top Ten figures I’ll most miss from Modern Age when the latest waves of retirement hit July 1 (and 10 I WON’T miss).

One rarely thinks of Superman without thinking of Super Strength. Naturally, most versions of the character have the power.

Most.

Superman (Man of Steel 001), shown above, does NOT have Super Strength. But he does share a sculpt with Superman (Man of Steel 101) who DOES. Hence, the photo above.

There’s a far older piece actually named Man of Steel (Collateral Damage 222) that belongs in Token Totin’:

He and identical setmate Superman (Collateral Damage 218) hold the token securely under the cape.

Tomorrow’s my birthday, so I may skip updates. Token Totin’ will continue Thursday with more Man of Steel.

More token-holding action in Teen Titans. First, behold the biggest brat of all comics, Superboy Prime (Teen Titans ):

Objects fit neatly between his cape and left armor tubing.

Not to be outdone, the REAL Kryptonian hero Superman (066) makes his appearance in Token Totin’:

Next week, Token Totin’ will continue down this path to highlight the Man of Steel.

More token-holding action in Teen Titans, after a bit of a long break. (Longer than intended, actually, as I meant to publish this last Tuesday. Button didn’t work — or my BRAIN didn’t.)

Here’s a look at Aquaman (Teen Titans 015), the king of the seas, and a gal who dresses like she ought to be swimming in the seas, Fairchild (003):

Both grip their tokens high and hard.   Gizmo (044), who doesn’t actually have Super Strength but can get it temporarily via his SP, has a great hold: It’s wedged upright under his left pistol.

More to come Thursday, maybe. Recently suffered a hard drive crash — my first ever — and lost a lot of stuff I was planning. But Heroclixin’ shall endure!!!

More token-holding action in Teen Titans, courtesy of Soviet-era Russian, Red Star (012):

Much like Superboy, he can’t do much other than lamely lean it on his chest.

But I found that using some of the heat-then-bend-then-stanch-in-cool-water techniques I learned in my Custom Mods series, I was able to mod this piece ever so slightly at the wrists/forearms:

And now this copy of Red Star has a still-tenuous but much more decent hold on a token.

––––

More to come Thursday, maybe. Tomorrow, if I can muster the energy after work, look for a massive battle report featuring four players and 20 TEAMS.

More token-holding action in Teen Titans, courtesy of Ridge (043):

The monster guy holds it tenuously between his right forearm and knee. There’s probably a way to maybe work his tail into a grip as well, but I didn’t test for that.

––––

More to come next Tuesday. Tomorrow, we’ll look at a comic-accurate Marvel team that I can finally play for real.

Sorry I missed Tuesday’s update. Here’s Superboy (Teen Titans 026) in token-holding action:

…yeah. He DOESN’T really hold it, beyond the lame “lean it on his butt” method shown above. I guess it works, sort of.

––––

More to come next Tuesday.

Continuing the photographic record of how HeroClix can hold their object tokens. Let’s look at the bruiser of the Batman set, Big Barda:

She holds hers OK under her cape IF you use the chintzy lightning on her Mega-Rod to help.

I’ve been planning to publish the Top Ten list I was working on for April originally. But it was shoved into doubt by a sneak preview at a Fear Itself figure that appeared to meet the criteria.

Then the 2013 PAC and its changes completely destroyed that list.

Consequently, Heroclixin’ is beginning an early Top Ten countdown between now and Monday on the 10 biggest winners (and losers) in the 2013 rules update (in the same fashion as the 2011 version two years back).

It’s gonna be F.U.N.!
