Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects, again. I don’t think I’ve shown this one, taken back in summertime (thanks, Stephen P.):
Easy hold under the arm of Apocalypse (Marvel Convention Exclusive M-002). Much easier than getting ahold of the figure itself!

Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects, again. Here we continue the DC HeroClix 10th Anniversary roundup!
I mentioned yesterday that I observe All Saints Day (though I’m not a Catholic). Frankly, I only do so nominally, if at all. It’s still fitting that today’s photo is of the closest thing in comics to sainthood, Superman!
As you see, Superman (DC 10th Anniversary 021) has plenty of room in the booth for the object! One can also squeeze the older, thinner objects between his cape and the back of the booth.
Since it’s Thursday — formerly known as Thor’s Day — here’s a pic of Thor (Marvel 10th Anniversary 005):
A token fits under his tricep, barely.

Heroclixin’s taking a few days off in preparation for November’s Top Ten list, to begin either Monday or Tuesday.
Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects, again. Here we continue both the DC HeroClix 10th Anniversary roundup and wrap up the Halloweeny focus on the freakish with this most famous of comics monsters, the Hulk!
It’s kind of a tough hold. You’ve got to push the token as far into Hulk (Marvel 10th Anniversary 002)’s armpit or crook of the arm as possible, making certain it’s also against his right toe. Then sort of make it rest on his fist as well. It’s wobbly, but it seems to work!
The monstrosities aren’t finished. It’s a DC zombie!
Black Lantern Superman (022) can fit a token under the cape, barely.

Tomorrow’s Halloween! Prepare for a most terrifying battle report — colossals unleashed!
Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects, again. Here we continue both the DC HeroClix 10th Anniversary roundup and the Halloweeny focus on the freakish with Marvel’s greatest monster at his most monstrous — the Worldbreaker!
Worldbreaker (013) holds his token strong, like a boss.

Tomorrow’ I’m highlighting a villain team, something I’m doing more of this month, leading up to Halloween.
Continuing the photographic record of just how each character with the Super Strength power can hold their object token somewhere on the sculpt unassisted.
After my buggy camera ate a nearly complete set of pix from both 10th Anniversary sets, I’ve been slowly trying to reassemble the record. Last time we looked at the unassuming John Jones. Now check out his true form, Martian Manhunter:

Tomorrow, a rather inhuman team report. Then, on Thursday, another freakish Token Totin’ pic.
Continuing the photographic record of just how each character with the Super Strength power can hold their object token somewhere on the sculpt unassisted.
After my buggy camera ate a nearly complete set of pix from both 10th Anniversary sets, I’ve been slowly trying to reassemble the record. Here’s the seemingly nondescript detective who’s more than he appears to be…John Jones:
He can grip it ever-so-slightly in his right arm as shown. But depending on how your personally owned John Jones is bent, or upon the thickness of your object tokens (as the new ones are about twice as thick), you might be able to use the following alternate hold:
Mine fits snugly between the fedora and floating Martian profile.
Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects, again:
The Thing (003) holds his token with the Yancy St. sign. “No hands, Aunt Petunia!” The battle-promoted Green Goblin (018), on the other hand, does use his left hand (his writst, really) to hold the token to his glider!

Hopefully, this weekend I can get new shots of the pix I lost to my malfunctioning camera, which made me so mad that I started a new feature of stuff I hate about HeroClix. Read my rant tomorrow on how to Fight Fire With F.U.N.
Continuing the photographic record of just how each character with the Super Strength power can hold their object token (the old ones, anyway. The newer ones found in the Avengers and Dark Knight Rises starter sets might be too thick) somewhere on the sculpt unassisted.
I was hoping to get a mass update featuring nearly all the Super-Strong characters from both 10th Anniversary (Marvel and DC) sets up today. But my squirrelly camera decided to delete those photos along with some of the photos I actually intended to erase before uploading pics from the camera to the computer.
Below is the ONLY photo to survive.
Thing (10th Anniversary 011) holds a token excellently between the asphalt he’s pulling up and his left hand, which is NOT actually attached to said asphalt! Spider-Man (10th Anniversary 003), on the other hand, doesn’t have a great grip on his token. I used a loop of webbing as a hold. Your mileage may vary.

This camera failure has put me in a mood. After tomorrow’s Battle Report, look for maybe another Token Totin Thursday and then, on Friday, the start of a series about stuff I HATE about HeroClix…and the F.U.N. way to deal with it!
A few weeks ago, I nearly wrapped up the photo record of how Chaos War figures could hold their object tokens, but lacked the convention exclusive Giant-Man from the set to test and shoot.
Well, thanks to friends who went to GenCon, I’ve managed to get the shot.
Big Pym holds old-school tokens with ease: between the middle and ring finger of his right hand and the index and middle digit of his left. The newer, thicker tokens fit even better in his left hand.
And with that, the Token Totin’ Chaos War edition’s a wrap!!!

Speaking of conventions, yours truly is headed to Dragon*Con starting Thursday through Monday. Updates may be slim to nonexistent, as I will not have internet access for much of that time. But I’m hoping to have a little F.U.N. Friday piece in the meantime, and to do a most unusual Top Ten starting Wednesday, Sept. 5.
Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects is this sometimes big boy:
Somewhat surprisingly, Yellowjacket can hold an object token between his head and left shoulder ridge thing. It’s not a great hold, but it’s there.

Mr. Henry Pym wasn’t picked at random. Be here tomorrow for a F.U.N. primer on using the Chaos War Hank Pym’s Morph trait!
